NEW FASHIONS
Coronation Colours
Dog's Leg Sleeves Cavalry Coats
HIS winter we start a new chapter in the history of fashion. Women's clothes are divided into two opposite camps. On one side are the draperies, the furs, gold and sliver tissues, exotic flowers and floating feathers of the typically feminine-minded woman. In the other camp, equally fashion right, is the strictly tailored suit, the sporting stock, a mill- fant hat inspired by any country's fighting force, with 'nquared shoulders, and the swaggering walk of the woman who is prepared to stand shoulder to shoulder with her brother,
That's the spirit of the new modes, exaggerated, arresting. bu. attractive. Let us literpret them to our everyday needs with an eye at the name time on our natural enjoyment of being abreast of fashion.
Last year fashion had a leaning towards the negation of detall. Cut and Arst-class material were of leading import- ance. This year taste and effective arrangement of colour and trimming will take precedence.
Sky High Hats
In fact, judictous shopping at the haberdashery counter, or even at the sixpenny store, will 'give the new date to vur clothes rather than an expensive dressmaker.

Shoulders are squared up, and sleeves of more importance at the top rather than at the wrist. Above the waist the out- line of the gure must be defined.
Let us consider these changes which are taking place in our wardrobe Individually.
First, the winter coat.

These new and curl- ous shapes do not a}~ ways attract at Drst night, n d many women wait until they see other women wehr- ing them before they are tempted to plunge. It is quite a different matter with colour; We are all quickly respon- sive to a shade, and the new colours become far more popular quickly than a, change in lnc.

Wide-akirted tunics that reach to the knee over a tube-like skirt define the new silhouette. They have
military awashbuckler look and call for a good gure and well padded shoulder to do them full justice.

Fruit
Puddings
OCTOBER is a great month
for fruit: plums dam- sons, pears, blackberries, apples, and here are a few recipes for making puddings out of them.
Fruit and Tapioca Mould
NY of these fruits, cook ANY
ed and strained, will make an unusual mould in this way: for instance, blackberries. Cook the fruit with sugar and water, mud when it is quite soft, strain it.
There should be a quart of the cooked fruit before straining. Add 20%, of fine sago or crush- ed tapioca to the juice, and cook until it is transparent Pour into a mould and turn it out when cold.
As it is a cheap dish, try and be extravagant and have some cream with it!

Now pile on top a meringue mix- ture which you have made with the stiffly whisked whites of the eggs and two tablespoonfuls of castor sugar.

Pears en Surprise
really grand IF you want
sweet for a party and you have a refrigerator or can get-some ice-cream from a neighbouring shop or tricycle, try this one.
Slew the pears whole (peeled of course) in a syrup. flavoured with lemon peel. When they are cold, cut off the top about an inch below the stalk and scoop out the core.
Fill up the hollow with vanilla ice-cream (or even vanilla-flavoured the top whipped cream), stick on again and stand each pear on a piece of toasted cake (sponge or madeira) which you have soaked in a little sherry. This little "stand" may be omitted, but it makes the dish all the nicer..
