Staple colours are a boon when you practically live in a given costume day after day. And if you want, fur on your things, that too, should be as good a quality as you can sport for nothing is more discouraging than raggedy fur.
"The girl on the right, seated in this commuter's train, quietly relaxed, reading, wears a smart cinnamon brown cloth coat with darker brown Persian lamb trim. The fur is used where it does the most good, around the shouldera, reaching far enough down in the back to keep you warm if there is a draft, and fashioning the upper part of the sleeves, which have long cuffs of the wool. The hat is a nifty little toppiece, of matching cinnamon brown felt, with a bit of fluff in the shape of curled feathers right at- the upturned back. She is carrying the new .commuter's bag which is a purse and book-holder all in one, and in addition has space for cigarettes, shopping lists and a few necessary trifles like make-up.
Under her coat she wears a brown satin dress, with part of the shiny and part of the dull side used, for contrast. It is untrimmed, making it a perfect office dress, or a good one for shopping, lunching, or any day after day wear.
Her companion wears black, always a good choice, with just a touch of fur at cuffs and for a standing collar that ties in a bow on one side. Her hat is of black soleil, one of the little bicorns that are jaunty and wearable, with or without a veil, depending on just how well you look on certain days.

MEN LIKE DULL FOOD!
"Not one English housewife in a hundred can cook," says famous American novelist. This is one among many criticismas levelled at our cooking by foreig
nors.
But our critics should blame our very unenterprising menfolk for this, for it is the Englishman's conservative taste and suspicion of anything new which damp the enthusiasm of aspiring cooks.
More often than not he does net know what he is eating, and if a new dish, or a new way of doing an old one, is ventured upon, he thinks he is being poisoned. H likes the same old dishes year in. vear out: bacon and eggs," roast beef, bread and butter pudding.
He will eat with a certain amount of enjoyment any sophisti- cated concoction served in a restaurant or abroad, but gim him "Bouillabaisse" in his own home and he will ask for bully beef.
A bride-to-be told me that she had taken a cookery course and was looking forward to practising her art in her own home.
"I'm going to do something in the conkery line," she declared. I shall feed Jim as he's never been fed in his life."
But it was a different tale she had to tell later. "It's really a waste of time planning and pre- paring out-of-the-ordinary dishes," she said. "Jim is suspicious of anything new. You should have seen his face when I made a prawn omelette one night!"
I heard the same old story from a housekeeper to two young bachelors who insist on having, bacon and eggs for breakfast every morning. They won't not anything else," she said. "But, of course, it's easy for me."
Easy, but how dull! The proe- pect of having to provide, say. 15,000 bacon and egg breakfast during your married life is enough to suppress the most exuberant culinary enthusiasm.-J. D. is Exchange.
