In the Women's World

A flattering off-the-face brimmed sports hat is worn here with a plaid man-tailored suit. Of deep turquoise blue velour, its planed brim is outlined with a mallard duck feather. This is one of the new deep-crowned models by Emme which stay put in the breeze.

Bright checked woolen coats with fur trim for late fall and early winter wear are a welcome relief this year from the usual solid black. Here is an especially striking model of wine, aquamarine, brown and black checks with interesting black caracul front panel. Her off-the-face black velour Sally Victor hat has a band of wine suede to match the check. (Coat from Janet Sloane.)

Sweater styled sequin dinner ensemble strikes a new note in glamorized simplicity.

Miss Hunter Heads Cabinet at Ponce

New officers of the Girls' Athletic Association are headed by Caroline Hunter as president. Her cabinet consists of Kitty Low Hoffman, vice-president; Ruth McCall and Ruth Alice Junkins, recording and corresponding secretaries, and Frances Thurman, treasurer.

Sunday night supper for a fall evening might include good old Boston baked beans and Boston brown bread.

Banding is used by most of the leading designers this year as the sole means of trimming. The bright green and wool with contrasting black stripes is a perfect example of this bit of detailing.

Perk Up Your Put-Ups With These Hints

Jars of preserves and put-ups tip their lids to the memory of Francois Appert, French confectioner who is known as the great-grandaddy of preserving (and keeping!) Prompted by promise of fame and fortune by Napoleon himself (whose greatest Waterloo was food spoilage during a campaign), M'sieur Appert developed the basic preserving methods still followed by putter-uppers the world over. Pick the peach from the orchard, pluck the plum from the stall, "beard" the blueberry in its den—and go about lining cupboard shelves with jars of put-ups to preclude menu-monotony in months to come. Preserve the old trusties, to be sure, but "jar" preserving habits into novelty, with a few new and delicious put-ups! Like: Aunt Jo's Apple Preserves 2 quarts (2 lbs.) prepared apples 3 cups water 4 cups (1% lbs.) sugar 1⁄2 teaspoon salt 2 sticks (3-in.) cinnamon Wash and pare about 9 (3 pounds) firm, tart apples of uniform, medium size. Cut into eighths and carefully remove cores. Weigh or measure into large, flat-bottomed preserving kettle. Add water. Bring to a boil and cook covered about 4 minutes, or until apples tender. Add sugar, salt and cinnamon. Bring slowly to a boil, without stirring. Simmer about 35 minutes, or until apples are clear and syrup sheets from a spoon. To prevent scorching and obtain glaze, occasionally baste apples by carefully tilting kettle. Skim. Pack in clean, hot sterilized jars and seal at once. Approximate yield: 5 half-pint jars. Melange Marmalade 2 cups (1 lbs.) sliced peaches 2 cups diced fresh pineapple 4 cups sugar 1 cup coarsely chopped Brazil nuts 1 4-oz. jar Maraschino cherries and juice Wash peaches, peel, remove pits and slice, reserving one cracked peach stone. Pare and dice pineapple, discarding core. Combine peaches, peach stone, pineapple and sugar; stir overhead until sugar is dissolved. Bring to boiling and cook about 20 minutes until marmalade is thick and clear, stirring frequently. Add Brazil nuts, quartered cherries, and cherry juice. Cook one minute; pour into hot sterilized jars or glasses; seal immediately. Blue or Huckle Blueberries are in and you're missing a lot of good eating if you pass up bran blueberry muffins at a time like this! Canned huckle or blue; this recipe's for you! Bran Blueberry Muffins 2 tablespoons shortening 1⁄4 cup sugar 1 egg 1 cup all-bran cup milk 1 cup flour 1⁄2 teaspoon salt 21⁄2 teaspoons baking powder 4 cup blueberries or huckleberries (well drained) Cream shortening and sugar thoroughly; add egg and beat well. Stir in all-bran and milk; let mixture stand until moisture is taken up. Sift flour with salt and baking powder; add to first mixture with the berries and stir only until flour disappears. Filled greased muffin pans two-thirds full and bake in moderately hot oven (400 degrees F. about 30 minutes. Yield: 8 large muffins (3 inches in diameter) or 12 small muffins. "Sass" the Ice Cream Don't stop ice cream if you're tired of it; top it with this home-for-the-nonce dressing to give the ice cream, any flavor, a new outlook.: Fudge Sauce for Ice Cream 1 cup sugar 1⁄2 cup cocoa 1/4 cup white karo 1⁄2 cup water 11⁄2 cup light cream or evaporated milk 1/3 teaspoon salt When is a doughnut not a doughnut? When it's baked in a muffin tin! These doughnut muffins will do away with lack of appetite. Doughnut Muffins cup sugar 1 egg 2 cups sifted flour teaspoons all-phosphate baking powder 1⁄4 teaspoon salt 1⁄2 teaspoon nutmeg 1⁄2 cup milk Cream shortening, add sugar gradually, creaming until light and fluffy. Add egg and beat well. Sift flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg together and add to creamed mixture alternately with the milk. Bake in small greased muffin pans in hot oven (400 degrees F.) 20 minutes. Dip in melted butter and roll in cinnamon and sugar mixture.

Door Location Requires Study

In the designing of small homes, the location and number of doors are important since the arc of the swing is wasted area. Where there are too many doors, the owner is likely to be confronted with a serious problem of furniture arrangement. It should also be remembered that the more doors a room contains, the more through traffic it will have. Wherever possible, doors should be located in corners so they will swing through an arc of only 90 degrees and thus use a minimum of floor area. The location of doors in a small house is even more important when living space must be used also as a passageway, according to officials of the Federal Housing Administration. For convenient passage space must be preserved free from furniture. When doors leading to rooms are opposite each other, lines of communication are placed diagonally opposite, the location of furniture for greatest use and convenience is made difficult or impossible. The livability of the house is then greatly reduced. This may be avoided at the time the house is planned by locating doors in adjacent walls

Apt Appetizers Set Pace of Dinner

A timorous toe testing the temperature of the water before the plunge is likened unto an appetizer, in one gourmet's mind. "Setting the theme," "hint of good things to come," are still other descriptions, all taking justified cognizance of the appetizer's importance. Appetizers, happily, know almost no bounds, and it's every hostess to her own device. Some favor soup, others lean toward tangy sherbets, tart dabs of salad—while those there are who rely on fruit and vegetable juices, happily mixing, combining and spicing every known variety. Best-yet plan is to have a revolving assortment. "Comp'ny coming" will bring out the fancier kind, which, when served in the living room, earn the title of canape. Home consumption will be content with simpler starters, but in both categories, your appetizers may be hot, cold, middlin'; liquid, frozen or sold. Stick to your stalwarts, by all means, but never, never overlook the possibilities of of good ones like these: Sausage Tempters 2 cups sifted flour 1⁄4 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons all-phosphate baking powder 1 to 4 tablespoons shortening 2/3 to 4 cup milk Cocktail sausages Sift together flour, salt and baking powder. Cut in shortening. Add milk to make a soft dough, stirring just enough to make ingredients hold together. Turn out on lightly floured board, knead gently for half a minute. Roll dough inch thick. Cut into rounds with small biscuit cutter about one inch in diameter. Slice tiny cocktail sausages very thin. Cover a biscuit with sausage slices, then with another biscuit more sausage and another biscuit. Press together at one side. Set sandwiches on end in small muffin pans. Bake in hot oven (425 degrees F.) 12-15 minutes. Serve hot. Hot Cheese Balls 1% teaspoons flour Cayenne pepper 1⁄2 teaspoon salt cup grated cheese 1 egg white 1⁄2 cup finely chopped Brazil nuts Mix flour and seasonings with grated cheese and fold into the stiffly beaten egg white. Mix well, roll into small balls and roll in chopped Brazil nuts. Fry in deep fat, 375 degrees F., until golden brown. Serve hot on toothpicks as an appetizer, or with salad. "Bananapes" Banana Peanut Butter Canape: Cut thin slices of white bread into rounds. Spread each round with peanut butter, within 1⁄4 inch of the edge. Peel and slice banana (yellow peel flecked with brown) and slice. Arrange 3 banana slices on each round of bread. Minced Ham Banana Canape: Cut thin slices of bread into rounds. Spread each pack with minced ham within 1/8 inch of the edge. Peel and slice ripe bananas (yellow peel flecked brown). Place 2 slices on each canape; sprinkle with paprika if desired. Grapefruit-Avocado Sherbet 2 cups unsweetened Florida grapefruit juice 11⁄2 cups sugar 1⁄4 cup lemon juice 11⁄2 teaspoon salt 1 sieved avocado 2 to 3 drops green coloring 2 egg whites Combine grapefruit juice and 1/4 cups sugar. Boil 3 minutes; cool. Add lemon juice, salt, sieved avocado and coloring. Turn into refrigerator tray and freeze until stiff. Gradually add remaining 1/4 cup sugar, beating after each addition. Remove grapefruit-avocado mixture from refrigerator and freeze until firm. Serves 6. Bacon-Date Appetizer 1 package (14 oz.) pitted, pasteurized dates Sliced bacon Cubed American cheese Split dates lengthwise. Into each cavity place one small cube of soft American cheese. Cut bacon into short strips (about 3 inches long) and wrap each date with one strip of bacon. Fasten bacon with toothpick; place on baking sheet in oven or in broiling compartment. Bake or boil until bacon is crisp and brown. Serve hot with tomato or pineapple juice. Shrimp and Olive Antipasto 1 jar (5% oz.) shrimps 1/2 cup minced stuffed olives 1/3 cup diced celery 1 clove garlic, cut in half 1/3 cup chili sauce 1/2 cup salad or olive oil 4 teaspoons cider vinegar 1/8 teaspoon black pepper Wash shrimps and remove black line along the back. Mix with olives and celery. Chill. Rub bowl with garlic. Add remaining ingredients and beat with rotary beater until blended. Just before serving pour over shrimp mixture, tossing together lightly with a fork.

When Planning A New Home

Experience is a good teacher, but there are other less costly ways of learning how to build a satisfactory house. Money, time and worry may be saved by learning all that may be learned before a start is made on a new house. Officials of the Federal Housing Administration have pointed out at various times the facts which prospective home builders should know and remember. Among these are the following: 1. A square is the most economical form in which a given amount of space can be enclosed. 2. Dormer windows are desirable, but a roof without dormer windows costs less than one with dormers. 3. An inside chimney costs less to build than a decorative one on the exterior. The fewer the outside corners the lower the cost of the house. The rectangular shape simplifies the structural framing system of both floor and roof and thus effects economies. 5. Bay windows are beautiful, but they cost more than twice as much as the ordinary kind. 6. A full basement often adds at least $250 to the cost of the house. It may be possible to build a room above the ground for the same amount. Typed homework means better grades. Read how to get a typewriter free in this issue.
