# Variety in Styles of Handbage Kasha, homespun woolen material, eloth of gold, velvet, antelope skin, snakeskin, calfskin, leather of all morts, hat felt, brocade, rubberized silk, quilted silk—these are just a few of the materials used in the making of the up-to-date handbag.

On the one hand you may select a really good bag of some material and color that will go well with a variety of costumes—one day- time bag and one evening bag for an entire season. Or you may buy NG BY MARY MARSHALL. a number of less expensive bags, chosen each to go with some single costume, When one bag must do, it must be chosen with great care. It must be judged from the point of view of durability as well as smartness. You must consider the type of closing. Experience may have shown you that clasp openings of metal covered with leather show signs of shabbi- ness and wear more quickly than the envelope type of bag with a flap that fastens down by means of a snapper tastening. You may like a small handbag, but don’'t imagine that small bags are any smarter than the large sort. The fact is that many very well dressed women carry quite enormous bags—some of them almost as large as_overnight bags. Bright-colored bags may appeal to you—but many women, especially Frenchwomen, choose always bags of black, brown, beige or gray. When these dark or neutral-toned bags are chosen they must tone with the stockings, gloves and shoes. The black bag may be carried with black shoes, gray bag with gray shoes and bag with brown shoes. Or carry a gray bag with gray gray gloves and gray E , or a beige bag with beige stockings and gloves and shoes of black, brown or beige. Nothing does mar the effect of an ensemble so much or palpably cheap bag— perhaps it is shabby, neglect- ed shoes.

Vegetable Platter. Spanish tomatoes, potatoes on the half shell, stewed green corn and pep- pers and cucumber and pimento salad on lettuce leaves will make a well balanced and attractive menu. Chop fine two small green peppers freed from their seeds and saute in butter or bacon fat. Saute also one small onion chopped fine and one-fourth pound of mushroom caps chopped. When these vegetables are delicately brown and tender, remove them from the fire. Meanwhile, scald, peel and slice four or six large tomatoes and arrange them in a buttered baking dish in layers, with a generous sprinkling of bread crumbs and the sauted vegetables between each layer. The last layer should be of crumbs well seasoned. Bake in a hot oven for about twenty minutes, then, if desired, arrange strips of bacon over the dish and bake until brown and crisp. It bacon is not desired, a thin layer of grated cheese may be used in its place. The Daily Cross-Word Puzzle (Copyright, 1927.) Across. 1. Pleces of cardboard. . Foolish. 9. Small State (ab.). .

In the larger cities the popularity ef the one-room apartment for the single man or girl is on the increase. Often the occupant of the apartment has his or her own furniture and takes real pleasure and satisfaction from cre- ating in the one room—which is com- bination living room and bedroom (and sometimes dining room and kitchen- ette as well)—a truly homelike atmos- phere. A glimpse of one of these apart- ments is given here. The furniture is all very light in construction and simple in design—early American pleces of golden-hued maple. The day- bed serves as couch by day and bed by night and is extremely comfortable in both capacities. There is an easy chair, a bookcase- desk, a chest of drawers for clothing, ‘und various small chairs and tables. The draperies have been kept formal in character to increase the sense of space, (Covyright, 1927.) e Since moving sidewalks are one possible way of making switter prog- ress through busy streets, a scientist has been studying the physical effects of different rates of speed on one of ¢.these sidewalks in mn%t- 4 X AINT IT A GRAND AND GLORIOUS FEELING! wHsN @Go DownN To BREAKFAST AND ASK,Tne CLERW FOR YoUR MAIlL AND THE EG&S ARE Too SOFT, THE ROLLS AREN'T WARM EROUGH, FVERY- THING WRONG “AND You GET ABOUT A Dozé&n LETTERS BUT Tk ISV TiTHans “AND WiEN YoU GET NEARLY To THE BoTTom oF Tye PiLE ~AND THERE HIDDEN BETWEESN Two LARGE ENVELOPES You— MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS. Olive Brunette’s Color. It is sometimes hard for a girl to recognize her own type and make the most of it if she happens to admire another type of beauty. The swarthy brunette, for instance, whose ideal of feminine loveliness is a pink-and-white blond, bleaches her hair and loads her face with powder in a hopeless effort to approximate this unattain- able ideal. The results cannot fail to be a pitiable caricature. By understanding her own type, however, a girl can realize her full TR . I'-I.m share of beauty, but in no other way. ‘When she uses in make-up and clothes colors that are unbecoming to her in- dividual style of beauty, she loses her charm. I hgve some color suggestions for the olive brunette whose hair and eyes are dark brown or black and whose skin is olive with a warm glow of color in the cheeks. Her rich natural The Woman coloring permits the use of strong hues in clothes. Bright red, rust and brick red are excellent as entire cos- tumes or as trimming. Embroideries in gold or brilllant Oriental colors are becoming. ‘White should be avoided, as it makes the skin appear too dusky. Deep cream may be worn, however, and also pink of a dull shade, coral and_ apricot. Pink-lavender may be used in sheer fabrics. Ecru is good and so is deep yellow, mahogany; deep brown and bronze green are permis- sible, but they should be brightened with touches of light color. Black and midnight blue should be trimmed with dull pink or bright red and yellow. Taupe is seldom becoming. Besides choosing the right colors in clothes, the olive brunette should give careful thought to the right shade of face powder. It should be dark enough not to show when applied to the skin. A white or flesh powder on a dark skin is inexcusable. When artificial color is applied to the lips a scarlet shade is better than dark red in most cases, since it harmonizes with the warm skin tints. Orange or dark red rouge may be used, but oftentimes a more pleasing effect is achieved by omitting rouge so that the clear olive tone of the skin may be seen. Since it is not natural for this type to have very red cheeks, any color that is used looks artificial no matter how skillfully it is applied. The lips may be tinted, however, if they are pale. The olive skin does not freckle, but it tans to a deeper hue in Summer. It is a good plan to use a bleaching pack of buttermilk and corn meal once a week. This will not, of course, make the skin fair, but it will keep it from being darkened by the sun to a deeper olive. of Forty-One BY CLYDE CALLISTER. Among the list of still young wom- en of 41 years might be mentioned Marie Doro, who has been a success- ful actress since she was 6 years old; Frieda Hempel, the operatic star, and Pavlowa, the most famous dancer of the age, who has been described as “a Russian by birth and a cosmopoli- tan by genius.” Catherine de Medici, who had the distinction of being the wife of one French king and the mother of three others, became regent of France when she was 41. Until this time this very able Itallan woman apparently had been willing to lead a passive sort of existence. Her husband, Henry II, had been ruled entirely by the will of his favorite, .Diane of Poitiers. On his death he was succeeded by his son, Francis, who was as completely under the spell of his wife, Marie Stuart, as his father had been under that of Diane—and still the genius of Cathe- rine de Medici lay dormant. With the death of Francis a second son, Charles IX, succeeded and Catherine was pro- claimed regent during his minority. For the next 48 years she was to be one of the dominating influences in French politics. It was because of the rare intuition and sympathy of a woman of 41 that Christopher Columbus was enabled to start on his expedition that led to the discovery of the New World. Repulsed on every side, the daring Italian had presented his plans to Ferdinand and Isabella, joint rulers of Spain, and even there he seemed to meet with in- credulity. It was after he had left, discouraged, that Isabella listened to the voice of intuition and sent messen- gers bidding Columbus return. As every schoolboy knows, this wise and generous Queen pawned her jewels in order to raise the funds needed to carry out the expedition. Empress Josephine of France was 41 when she received the imperial crown of France. Napoleon, himself but 35, having built up a new French empire with himself as head, sent for the Pope to come from Rome to crown him in Notre Dame in Paris. It was observed with interest that Napoleon took the imperial crown from the Pope and crowned himself, and then crowned Josephine, knee! Whiten Skin ing at his side. They had been mar- ried some eight years, and Josephine felt that her powers over the young emperor were waning. She had had no children by this second marriage, and Napoleon, now that he was Em- peror, was anxious to have an heir. Five years later Napoleon first openly broached the subject of divorce to Josephine. Fanny Burney, the English ro- mance writer of the eighteenth cen- tury, was 41 years old when she mar- ried M. d'Arblay, a French officer living in London. A child was born the next year, when Fanny was 42 years old. o Veal Pie. Since veal contains less fat than beef, salt pork or fat bacon is often added to it. Veal contains a large proportion of connective tissue. Con- sequently it should be cooked longer and more slowly than beef. For veal ple. select a plece of veal and cut it into small pleces. Besides the meat, you will need the following ingred- lents: An onion or two sliced, raw celery chopped fine, potatoes cut into small cubes, some green vegetables if possible, such as, for instance, a few lima beans or some sliced green peppers or okra; some flour, sale @nd pepper. and boiling water. Seag the meat on all sides in a hot skillet with the potatoes and other vegetables. Add the bolling water, not quite cover- ing the fnixture, Simmer for about 25 minutes, or until the meat is tender. Season with salt and pepper. Thicken the liquid slightly with a little flour. Line the sides of a deep baking dish with a thin layer of rich biscuit dough. Pour the meat and vegetable mixture into the dish. Cover with a thick layer of the biscuit dough. Cut a slit in the top crust so that the steam can escape. Bake in a hot oven until the biscuit dough is deli- cately brown and crisp. Carrots, peas, string beans and other vegetables are good in a veal ple. It is the way to use up left-overs. The point is to have the meat.vegetable mixture savory to the taste and with a touch of bright color to please the eye.

AwEr 1T A GR'R-R-RAND AND GLOR-R‘RI0US FESLIN Fritters. To make apple fritters you will need one-fourth pint of white flour, one teaspoonful of baking powder, one tablespoonful of brown sugar, one egg yvolk and three apples peeled and chopped. Add the apple juice and some milk, and last the whites of about three eggs beaten very stiff. After frying, sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar and cinnamon. For this recipe use apples that are firm, julcy and sharp in flavor without being sour. Pineapple is equally good, and either one furnishes an appetizing way to flll out a breakfast course of bacon, ham or sausage. If your meal is otherwise light you can make more substantial fritters by leaving out the sugar and adding salt, pepper and a pint of diced vegetables. Cucumbers, fresh or canned corn, cooked parsnips, cauliflower or as- paragus are tasty additions. You can also add to fritter batter grated cheese, chopped mushrooms, sweet- breads, liver or kidneys, minced scal- lops, clams, oysters or mussels, shred- ded lobster, shrimp or crab meat. Carrot Straws. Sliced carrots, 3 cups. Water, about 2 cups. Salt, one-half teaspoon. Butter, 2 tablespoons. SERVES SIX PORTIONS. Buy sweet tender carrots. Wash, Scrape them. Slice lengthwise in long thin pieces and again cut each slice in long straws or strips. Cook until ten- der in as little boiling salted water as possible.

Can be eaten by young children and by adults of any weight. SR, Green Tomato Pie. Slice four or flve medium sized green tqmatoes. Heat slowly in a saucepan with three-fourths cupful of sugar, one-half a lemon sliced very thin, one-half a teaspoonful of sait and one-fourth teaspoonful of cinna-. mon until the tomatoes are tender. Add one and one-half tablespoonfuls of cornstarch. Cook until the corn- starch does not taste raw. Take from the fire and add one tablespoontful ot butter. Line a pie tin with pastry. Bake the lower crust for 12 minutes in a moderately hot oven until a deli- cate color appears. Put the tomato filling in this baked crust, cover with an upper crust and bake for about 12 minutes in a hot oven or until the upper crust is done. Be careful when you cover the pie with this unbaked upper crust. Moisten the edge and press firmly over the edge of the baked lower crust. If there isn't enough liquid in the tomatoes to cook them, add a little water when stewing. Danish Crullers. Beat two eggs and one-half a cupful of sugar together until light. Add one-half a cupful of sour cream, then one-half a teaspoonful of soda, a little nutmeg and two and one-half cupfuls of flour sifted together. Roll out and cut in about two and one-half inch dlamond-shaped pieces. Make a slot in the center and double the end through the hole. Drop into a skillet of hot fat and fry a light brown. Drain on brown paper. e e Corn Pudding. Mold sufficient rice to fill a square cake pan, and when cold cut out the center. With a sharp, wide-bladed knife turn out of the tin and fill with the following: Two cupfuls of corn cut_from the cob, or one can of corn. Add one egg well beaten, a teaspoon- tul of sugar, a pinch of salt, a table- spoonful of melted butter and a pint of milk. Bake for three-quarters of an hour In a moderate oven. Serve while hot. BEAUTY CHATS Powders. No bath is really complete without a finishing off with bath powder. For- tunately, for those with luxurious tastes and not luxurious incomes, bath powder s not expensive. And, besides that, it can be made at home at almost no cost if you will go to a little trouble. For instance, if you have a skin that perspires easily and has a slight odor, make yourself a bath powder by mixing one part boracic acid pow- der with two parts plain, ordinary, everyday cornstarch—the kind used in the kitchen for making puddings and thickening sauces, costing about 15 cents or so for a large box. You may not want a perfume; if not, this is the powder as you will use it. The cornstarch has a cooling, soothing quality against the skin, and feels like the finest silk—it is so good that hospital attendants powder with it pa- tlents who lie in bed for weeks, to soothe the skin and prevent bed sores. The boracic is not only cool- ing, but antiseptic and a deodorant. If you want a perfume, use a very little bit of eachet powder and mix with it. A 10-cent amount, bought to fill sachet bags for bureau drawers, is quite enough. With that and a 15- cent box of cornstarch and about 10 fi;a‘clsmxxmgn (ot boracic, you'll_have 5 b v ; Lo powder for a whole Keep it in a big wide-top jar ang use a large puff—the Neivetion ke down kind that can be washed easily.
