BY MARY MARSHALL. same wave of fashion that brought into favor the carnelian, the topaz, the turquoise, jade and a score of other semi-pre- cious stones brought into prami- nence lapin, pony, goatskin, kidskin and & number of other furs of the less costly sort. And the same conditions that have given new distinction to diamonds, rubles, emeralds and sapphires have in- creased the fashionable importance of nuine ermine, mink, broadtail, Persian b, fine caracul and other furs whose higher price entitles them to be desig~ nated as precious. * ¥ % % THE important thing to remember is that the woman of today wears her inexpensive coat of rabbit and calls it bunny or rabbit—not ermine. 8She wears her smart black pony coat with- out trying to delude herself or any one else into thinki that it is lamb er . caracul, just as she wears less precious Jewelry without misgivings or regrets. It is, I , the younger women— the debutantes, flappers and ocollege Is—who have given the less ive an honest name in the world of dress and who have raised thent into & fihce of fashiongble importance. Their lea in choosing & fur coat or jacket is to get something that is warm enough to be comfortable in cold weather, some- thing that is distinetly smart and up- to-date, something that is not so expen- | sive that it will have to be worn several seasons, and something that is like what the other girls they know are wearing. * k% x Tflfw young uzml'n mhud' know about W much s to spend she has no desire to deceive tl?eem. ;.il: lives for the present and she is not par- ticularly interested to know whether the short flaring jacket she buys this season will look smart next year or will lend itself to remodeling Winter after next. ;g is no h:n..;y the uu;;l;_;n o‘ the unger wom regard and jew- elry in the light of an invut-’i in the way that women did a generation Because the younger women have ace cepted the less expensive peltries and have worn them with such success, older women have been willing to buy them also, and an association of youthfulness has grown up around these furs that were onoce looked upon with a species of contempt. There is, of course, ne real rivalry be- tween precious furs and inexpensive furs, between ermine and lapin, Persian lamb &nd pony, any more than there i any real rivalry between diamonds and white crystal Among women who can afford such luxuries they are as essen- tial as ever, and the old woman wisel realizes that a coat of really fine fur usually much more becoming to her than ope of the inexpensive furs that answer the purpose for the girl of 18 or 20.

Thanksgiving Feast Requires Steady Table and Adequate Supply of Suitable Chairs for Guests. Easy, Quiet, Expedi- tious Serving. Thanksgiving seems to stand for family reunions and food, especially food. Every woman, in making her Thanksgiving day preparations—amid the excitement of planning a menu, selecting decorations and sending invi- tatlons—visualizes herself the calm and gracious hostess seated among her guests at the perfectly appointed table. She prays that by the time every one is seated at the meal her worries will be over and she can, at least in some measure, enjoy the menu she has strug- al:‘d s0 hard to have correct and appe- ng. That pleasure and relief will be the partion of the woman who has consid- ered the furnishings of her dml.n‘gomom. amid the hectic preparations for the great day. Since Thanksgiving is so largely the dining room’s day, it might be a good idea to present it with an entirely new suite of furniture. If you are not among the fortunate who can give themselves and their guests it pleasure—do not despair, just start planning what can be done. If your dining table is one of the nervous, fidgety kind that is susceptible to a jumpy dance on three legs every time any one bumps it ever so slightly, your Thanksgiving dinner is probably gaing to be completely ruined for you.

And it is barely pos- sible that you will come away with a more vivid impression of the smart hat worn by the tall blonde who sits in front of you or of the fur coat of the woman at your right than of the way the halfback ran a hundred yards for a touchdown, or whatever it is that the halfback does to make foot ball fans leap gmm their seats, yelling with ap- proval. Foot ball, it would seem, has precious little to do with fashions, but every big foot ball game has a significant effect on fashions—and mere and more fash- ion reporters look to the fair spectators at the important colle contests for indication of the trend of late Au- tumn and Winter sports and spectator fashions. It is not only the dresses, hats, coats and accessories worn by the ultra- smart, very rich members of the as- semblage that are significant. It is t] choige of clothes and manner of wea ing them as demonstrated by the young. er girls that is most significant.

Most of us are quite content to buy a good guddlnx in a tin or & bag and, on ‘hristmas day, beat it up and serve it. These puddings are surely as good as any we can make ourselves. But other women like to make their own pudding. There is something of the spirit of Christmas that demands this work from them. They, and their families, feel much better if the Christ- mas pudding is homemade. ‘There are a few general directions for the making of Christmas puddings: Slice all fruit that needs cutting very thin. Rub all raisins and other dried fruit free from stems and then sprinkle all frult with a little flour. Don't wash the fruit—if you have to, wash it sev- eral hours ahead of time, so that it will be thoroughly dry. Have all spices finely ground or grated. Put suet through the grinder with the knives turned to “fine” or else chop very fine. All almonds when they are called for should be blanched and finely sliced. Beat all eggs thoroughly. ‘You probably have your own pet par- ticular method of boiling your pudding. @rease the mold or pan in which you pour it quite thoroughly. After the bat- ter is poured in, cover with heavy waxed paper and then tie on the cloth se- curely. Have the water beiling when you put the pudding in and boil all the time. If more water is n d add actively boiling water.
