THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C. Midwinter Fur Modes Register Strikingly Novel Style Trends By CHERIE NICHOLAS ' OW that the cold midwinter weather is bringing out a bril liant pageantry of fabulous furs of unparalleled beauty and versatility, a thrilling chapter is being added which tells of many striking new trends. For instance, last-minute-styled fur jackets and coats bring the message of a tendency toward smart fitted lines. Note the “new look” of the leopard jacket achieved by its snug fit through the torso. These fitted lines make news, big news! Its flaring longer-in-back-peplum also interprets a definitely new trend. The notched collar and rounded revers are important style details The full easy sleeves fit close at the wrist above a flare cuff. The distinguished-looking Alaska seal model to the right is made like a fitted officer’s coat. It has the characteristic lapels, collar and belt at the back to hold in fullness. The silver buttons that adorn this hand some coat bear a significant mes sage. The unusual styling of this coat, also the leopard jacket ues to show that new and thrilling things are being done in furcraft design this season. Black broadtail plays an impor tant role in the distinguished look ing three-piece costume shown to the left. This very elegant ensem ble is tailored of soft wool in the lovely white wine tone that we hear about so much these days. The big news is its th: ee-quarter length cape, which is lined throughout with black American broadtail. The brim of the tip-tilted Breton sailor is also faced with matching broadtail. The beauty of this stunning outfit is that with the cape removed one has a perfect suit for spring. Wearing the cape means solid comfort and pro tection on a cold wintry day. Lic orice black buttons close the jacket and pocket flap. Featured as topflight fashion in the fall, cape stoles of mink worn with suits or smart wool dresses, also worn with sleek satin gowns for the cocktail hour made the “hit” of the season. Comes winter and the stole cape in exquisite er mine becomes a most glamorous evening fashion. Comes spring and the fashion world will see the fur- cape theme worked out in cunning brief shoulder and waist - depth types. There’s much excitement this win ter over the fascinating “little” furs which are playing a most glamorous role in the evening mode, as well as being the smartest ever worn with the unfurred suit or coat. It is in such items as hat and bag en sembles, neckpieces, headbands and belts to match, wide detachable cuffs that form a muff and count less other fantasies that furcraft goes to a new high in artistry and ingenious design. While fur jackets and capes for spring will include many types, the newest of the new will trend to very brief effects, some in cunning bolero styles. The bell hop jacket in light weight gray furs is youthful and smart as can be. Outstanding in the present grand and glorious panorama of winter fur fashions are chic hats carried out in every mood, from simplest little berets and turbans to most dra matic types, some with skyscraper crowns, others with wide brims. However, it is the jewel-embroidered fur hats that are creating the big sensation. With their color and sparkle they are not only most flat tering to the wearer but they add a, gay and bright note to the midwin ter costume itself. Released by Western Newspaper Union. T Plays Dual Role ! Buttons Again Take Fashion Spotlight Resort and advance spring fash ions bring the message of buttons, buttons and more buttons, used not only in a functional way but in a unique and decorative manner as well. One of the style tricks that buttons perform is that of going sin gle file around deep armholes where the sleeves are seamed into the dress. Newer yet is the wide wing sleeve that buttons on instead of being seamed on. In this way the sleeves can be removed, leaving the buttons which thus become purely ornamental on a jumper-like dress. Another unique stunt is that of out lining pockets, yokes, brief shoul der capes, necklines and so on, with buttons. For sports fashions and casuals the buttons are that simple they add a tailored look to the gar ment. This is true also of the large plastic buttons that dramatize so many of the new spring toppers. However, on the dressier modes jewel-like buttons and the new plas tic flower buttons are scattered about in most designful and versa tile ways. ire’s a magic costume that one lent appears as a charming t length din r dress and the moment, with the jacket, it mes a perfect cocktail suit. It’s little jacket that does the trick, n the jacket is worn several of large polka dots of green se- s on the white blouse line up luttons (see inset). A costume this designed for many-purpose r is the type best dressed wom- lelect to carry through midsea- into spring. Advance news com- in heralds the importance of ros and other brief jackets for Versatile Boleros Are Coming Out for Spring Designers are that enthusiastic over boleros in the new spring mode they are making a feature of them, both in bolero suits and dresses and as separates to wear with this skirt and that. The new boleros are very versatile including very interesting novelties. One noted style creator favors bright colors such as peacock blue or geranium pink for boleros that team with skirt and blouse in charming color-contrast schemes. And then there is the bolero in bust- length, which often is richly gold- embroidered, and the very new-look ing bolero with balloon or lantern sleeves. Bolero suits for town wear are smartly tailored in navy or the chic neutral grays and beige tones. Blueprint for Labor-Manage ment Love and Kisses This is the Elmer Twitchell plan for Belter Understandings Between Labor and Management: 1— Fundamentally all the trouble is due to the fact neither side com pletely understands the other. There can be no peace until some system is adopted, so that each side can experience all the headaches of the other. 2— Workers do not get enough golf. Employers do not get enough life without golf. Let the working man have the golf clubs six months a year and provide him with a set of clubs. After a few weeks of wor rying over backswings, the right grip, etc., all other problems will seem relatively unimportant. And the boss, six months away from golf and not giving a darn about the pivot or knee action would find him self a different person. Positively. » 3— Let the workers split with the bosses the routine of going through the mail, answering the unnecessary letters, correcting Miss Abernathy’s spelling, trying to find the memo randa which was put where it couldn’t be mislaid, wading through those long lunches at the Business Men’s club, taking all those indiges tion tablets from 2:30 to 4:30 and then getting home to find the wife’s bridge party is still on. (And make the employers eat some of those sandwiches put into a worker’s lunch box.) • 4— Alternate months let the work ers prepare banquet speeches, sit through dull operas, get into stiff shirts and tuxedos for dinner, use three types of fork and worry about stomach ulcers. And make the boss go to those smokers, stop for a beer at Hennessy’s, listen to the soap operas, have a quickie of corned beef and cabbage and endure all those double features. * 5— For part of every month make the workers serve on new relief campaigns, worry over dinner speeches, explain to stockholders, wade through the questionnaires, fill out the required federal forms and always keep their pants pressed; while the bosses shake their own drinks, help mind the baby, listen to the radio in their stockinged feet and tend the furnace. » C — Let the workingman have three homes, two cars, an outdoor swimming pool, a yacht and those week-end house parties. That should help make him realize what the boss has to stand up under. And make the employer live in the little bungalow, raise tropical fish, get along with the undersized medicine cabinet, use the family tub, fix his own plumbing, eat in- his shirt sleeves and help eight kids with the homework. Brother, there will be closer understandings after that. (Copies of the above plan may be had by sending in a barrel of potatoes, a pri ority on a new Ford and eight lumps of sugar.) • Thoughts on a Housing Crisis (Continued) The Indian was not so dumb— He didn’t toil or fiddle; He never had to hunt a home Or solve a housing riddle. The Red Man is my envy now— He lived in tents galore, sir, And they were as he left them when The guy came home from war, sir! • * • Elmer Twitchell is pretty angry at the wife. When he refused her an extra two dollars the other day, saying he couldn’t afford it, she threatened to name a fact-finding board. • • • F.orello LaGuardia is going to the Brazilian inauguration of a new President as an official ambassador from America. Up to now the new head of Brazil has never had any body read the American funnies to him. • • • Joe E. Brown is credited with killing two Japs in a Luzon com bat. It was no feat of marksman ship. The Japs had approached to within 10 yards of Brown’s mouth thinking they were entering an un protected ravine. • • • fFe can’t figure out why, in looking for a place to name as the permanent seal of UNO the town of Amityville, N. Y^ was overlooked. And Peace Dale, R. /. • • • t ' And, since the peaceful influence is a main consideration in UNO how about Pigeon Cove, Mass.? • • • CAN YOU REMEMBER: Away back when the attitude “The pub- Us be damned” was expressed within limi tations. • • • The southland is having a tough winter. Which reminds us of the winter down in Florida when a Miami paper carried the headline, after a bad storm, “Yankee Bliz zard Hits South.” • • • And, thinking back on our Miami Beach winters, we wonder if that sign is still there: “Ccsa Shapiro.” ★ ★★ ggx::: HOUSSHOIB MEM OSes, bfjfm PBOOWfeMi £:>XvX%vXCvwvv ::x%v Packaged Mixes, Sugar, Syrup Aid Sweet Tooth Even new brides will find it simple to make creamy-smooth chocolate pie with the directions given in the column. Whipped cream or meringue may be used as a top ping for this chocolate delight. Culinary Strategy If you’re one of those cooks who likes to have toothsome dishes to set on the table, but hates to fuss with too many of the frills, then there’s no time like the present to try out some of the ready-mixed foods. New brides, and by those I mean not only the recently wed, but those who have been married for awhile, but are just now cooking for a brand new husband, will find plenty of help on grocery shelves. A twist of the wrist at home, an eye to attractive decoration, along with an ability to follow instruc tions will yield rich rewards. It used to be that a pie was diffi cult to tackle, but not with all the sugar-saving mixes we now have on hand. You can use one of the pack aged preparations for the filling, or sweetened condensed milk which is now back on the market. The pie shell, too, may be made of a ready-prepared mix, or it can be tossed together from one of the good pie crust recipes which you have on hand. In a cream pie, the crust is baked ahead of time and allowed to cool before filling. Magic Chocolate Pie. 2 squares unsweetened chocolate 1V4 cups (1 can) sweetened con densed milk Vi cup water Baked pie shell (8-inch) Melt chocolate in top of double boiler.
