Shopping for coats should be
a delight because designers
have outdone themselves in
creating flattering silhouettes,
eresting fabrics — and the
ost exciting color palette to
date. Coat silhouettes in three
basic shapes — full, slightly
flared and oval — depend on
meticulous tailoring, whatever
aiLthe price level, reports the Na -
,j ional Board of the Coat and
Suit industry.
With padding eliminated,
the new raglan shoulders are
soft, their slightly increased
width controlled with seaming.
Fabrics are brilliant and
seemingly endless in inspiration.
Bubbled, carved, twisted, blis-
tered — furry, smooth, tight -
woven or lush, surfaces are
fashions in themselves. Tweeds•
are ropy or furry — some with
mohair — as in a textured
tweed of black, charcoal and
white.
CHECKS CERTIFIED
BY FASHION
Mohairs in solid tones are
opulent, as are precious fur fi-
bres and meltons. Worsteds are
crisp and are given more body
with new surfacing. Checks
get fashion certification.
This season's coats look just
that because of the numerous
style changes. Sleeves are
longer and slimmer, some with
shirtcuffs. Higher lines are
newly emphasized with full-
fledged empire look — a youth-
ful indentation of the bustline.
Capes and cape effects show up
importantly in the coat picture.
Buttons, large and striking, are
twisted, gilt, elongated.
To fur or not to fur is every
woman's own fashion decision,
for there are coats sans fur with
scarf or chin -deep collars, no
collars — or small, unobtrus-
tive lapel or wing types. When
furred, coats lean to collars
and cuffs of almost every pelt
in the animal kingdom —minks,
in various tones, sable, nutria
and beaver, black or natural;
leopard, civet cat. Fox returns
with all its flattery.
FUR LINERS LEAD
INNER LIFE
For elegance and toasty
warmth, consider the furliners,
leading an inner life with sable
for the sophisticated, civet cat
for the sportive.
Slated for success is the citi-
fied-sportive
itified-sportive look with softly
relaxed silhouette in soft, town-
ish tweeds. Sometimes the
touch of leather at bottons or
trim gives these jauntiness.
And all suede or leather is pop-
ular this fall for the true coun-
\ew Coats
try air.
Colors are crescendo in reds
— cranberry, orangey, pinkish.
Emerald green; dazzling royal;
lively browns, camel to ex-
presso; goldenrods; oatmeal;
and pastels for town, peach,
amethyst, coral, blue figure in
fashion.
Buy Onions
By Grade
The familiar yellow -skinned
onion should be plentiful all
winter because this year's crop
was a good one. It i•' ays to buy
onions of Canada No. 1 grade
for they will be well cured --
that is dry and firm. They will
also be well shaped and free
from damage caused by insects,
dirt and so on. The grade mark
will be printed on the 3, 5 or '
10 pound bag, the sizes in
which most onions are sold.
They may also be uniformly siz-
ed and marked "small" or
"large" .
If buying ungraded onions in
bulk be sure that they have dry
crackling skins, seem perfectly
dry and look clean and firm.
SOUCHE DE NOEL—A variation of the traditional Yule Log
so popular with French Canadians. It is basically a plain
butter cake made in two 6" or 8" cake pans. The layers
are each cut in two and the four layers are spread with jam
or jelly. Then it is iced with a delicious, butter cream icing
and decorated with mushroom -shaped meringues dusted
with cocoa.—Canada Dept. of Agriculture, Ottawa.

and spread with jam or jelly.
The butter cream icing is
creamy colored for the top or

chocolate colored for the bark
on the sides. "Mushroom -shap-
ed" meringues add a decorative
touch at the base.

The World of Women
Diary of a Vagabond
By Dorothy Barker
If Christmas only awakens another and wound them into a
our spiritual instincts once a
year, it could be the one level-
ler that will keep this old world
in orbit, for it has a twofold
meaning — giving and forgiv-
ing,
Perhaps I am moved to this
observation by an emotional ex-
perience which was entirely
divorced from the thrill I get
viewing the tinsel and glitter in
all our stores, buying each of
the five small angels in our
family unit extravagant toys or
searching for the "just right"
gift for a favorite friend.
Only those of us who have
known, or have been associated
with the loneliness of old age,
will appreciate this experience.
It happened on a sunny after-
noon as warm as a spring day.
Flowers were still blooming in
the gardens that surrounded the
old people's home. The Wo-
men's Auxiliary was holding its
annual Christmas bazaar, a sale
of articles made by the senior
citizens who are considered
lucky to have such an institu-
tion provided for their welfare.
There was organ music in the
chapel, gay holiday decorations
everywhere and the tireless ef-
fort of the craft instructress and
her wonderful conception of the
capability and creative instinct
of her elder charges was very
much in evidence.
I expect I would have made
my purchases, had my tea,
greeted others who attended in
support of this affair and dismis-
sed the afternoon with a smug
feeling of having participated
in a seasonal undertaking. But
somehow I made the wrong turn
when I emerged from the room
where the articles were display-
ed for sale and opened a door
into the craft workrooms.
Seated at a long bench were
two very elderly gentlemen..
One was punching holes in dis-
carded Christmas cards. His
effort would eventually create
small baskets laced together
with gay red ribbons. He smil-
ed cheerfully when I praised his
work and contentedly went on
punching, punching.
THERE'S A DIFFERENCE
Next to him sat a stoutish
man hunched over a litter of
plastic foam petals. Methodi-
cally he picked up one after
perfect blossom. "They are
lovely," I ventured into his re-
very, "Yes, they are like the
ones I once grew in my garden:'
I was suddenly struck by the
remembrance of an almost iden-
tical situation. The person I
recalled had been completely
alone in the world, No one
ever came to see him, wrote
to him or cared whether he liv-
ed or died. "Him, he's got a
niece that comes to see him.
It keeps him more cheerful,"
the man in my memory nodded
toward his neighbor.
"If you will make me abou-
quet it will remind me to write
you and perhaps come and see
you now and then," I had bar-
gained those several years ago.
" Lady, if you would do that
it might restore my faith in the
Almighty. I think perhaps
Christmas could then be more
like the old days." There was
one, I like to believe, "like the
old days" for him.
This year, while we are buy-
ing toys for our youngsters, per-
haps saying a prayer of grati-
tude for our own state of wel.-
being, let us not forget the:
elderly folk. They may be
warm and well fed in their go-.
ernment run manors, but re-
member, they are hungry for
love and remembrance.
Vacation
Party Game
The players sit in a circle,
and one is given a ball. While
music is being played on the
piano or record player, as for
musical chairs, the ball is pass-
ed from one player to the no'.
When the music stops, whoever
has the ball says a letter of the
alphabet and immediately be-
gins to count out loud up to five.
Immediately the letter is given,
her left-hand neighbor has to
say the name of an animal be-
ginning with that letter. If she
fails to think of one before five
is reached she has to retire,
with her chair, out of the ring.
A player is also out if she gives
a name that has already been
used. The term "animal"
should be taken in a very gen-
eral sense.
