Tales |K • v- . V- ' />v. M •i w§ * • J By CHERIE NICHOLAS Giving a forward at-random look to fashions "on the way," big news is the revival of the man-tailored allblack tailored suit. It is a genteel smart fashion that tunes in with the thought of apparel that will hold good for the duration. A suit of quality-kind black material will form a dependable background for even the most conservative, as well as for the most fastidious lady of fashion. The little black dress is, more important than ever as a wartime must. Presses in general are obviously fabric conservers. Their' very restrictions have proven an incentive to create some of the most attractive dress fashions that ever marked the opening of a new season. Their predominating characteristic are their slim, exquisitely modeled lines and clever details that make .for great chic and charm. There will be a predominance of day- j length evening dresses for the coming social season. Not all dresses are demure by any means, for advance news flashes such messages as jeweled wools for afternoon wear, especially jeweled wool jersey. Blouses also will be of jeweled jersey. Lavish embroidery will be in evidence .on hats as well as gowns, much of it being of Chinese inspiration, both as to color and design. Early fall displays make much ado about satin-accented black wool costumes. This not only means actual trimming features, but accessories including hats with satin gloves . and bags to match. There are many all-brown costumes showing in the new collections. Accessories are fascinating and there's a reason! What with the general trend to simplicity both as to design and technique (the jeweled and embroidered effects being the one departure from the rule) design- | , era of hats, jewelry, neckwear, j gloves and bags feel challenged ! to provide accents that are not restricted with priority rulings yet they do give the touch of allure. Hence the lovely little pastel feather hats, the satin gloves in provocative colors that give uplift to the little black dress, the handsome jewelry of non-priority media. The big sensation in the jewelry realm is the revival of bejeweled and bespangled choker collars or dog collars. Many of the newer frocks are collarless and call for frilly neckwear galore and also long -necklaces. The entire program in the final analysis is one of economy, in that one good gown with a collection of accessories is made to do duty for .;.:iliany. Rtle.iNd by Western Newspaper Union.

(See Recipes Below) FIFTY YEARS AGO Harvest Foods Late summer is the truck gardener's paradise, and this summer we might well say the Victory gardener's paradise, f o r t h e r e a r e many gay and attractive foods ripening now which may make a truly appetizing appearance on your table. For example, the season's choicest tomatoes in their fullest, ripest red make merry at the table now. There's also golden-eared, tender sweet corn, at its best when picked not more than half an hour before eating. And one of the most dramatic vegetables to do justice to fall dinners is the eggplant--smooth, deep purple and shiny in appearance. Most of you are undoubtedly familiar with eggplant served sliced and fried--and there's no doubt it's good that way. But for a change, try it baked with a savory stuffing, and make it a main dish feature of your dinner. The total cooking time for preparing it in this new way is only 35 minutes--10 minutes for boiling the eggplant in rapidly boiling water, and then 25 minutes baking in a moderate oven.

If food looks dull and unattractive, your appetite lags and the food,. if eaten is consumed without much relish. The eye wants contrast. Pick foods that go well together. You can serve several green vegetables for one meal, but not sev^ eral all-white vegetables or allred. Combine meat and vegetables on one platter to get a design and save plates besides! Use garnishes with care and give them an opportunity to bring out the most in your foods. Sprinkle beets with a little lemon juice to make them a more intense red. Cook green vegetables only until done to assure them of being crisp, green. A dash of lemon juice on apples, icars or other fresh fruit will prevent it from darkening. 1H caps spaghetti, cooked Cut sausages in inch lengths; fry until golden brown.
