THE 8EMI.WEEKLY TRIDUNE, NORTH PLATTE, NEBRASKA. WITH STALE BREABJ SCHOOL FOR FOREIGN EMPLOYEES OF HOTELS f MANY DISHES MAY BE PREPARED FROM REMNANTS. Authentic Styles Many tailored suits of today liave enst severity nsldo and will not reckon with It but Insist upon participation In the elaboration of clothes In general. Even machine stitching, heretofore beautifully done but almost unnotice able, parudes Its lino workmanship in unnecessary added rows. Everything Included in the details of their mnk .ng shows that the tailor has thought twice, or many times, before undertak ing his task. This elaboration In cut and stitching and the addition of fur in collars und cuffs and bandings, rele gates the severely plain suit to rainy days or hard travel. And It results iilso In new Inspirations In design. Coats are almost or quite three juarter length,- Skirts are plain, some jf them hanging straight nnd others flaring slightly, and they are not longer than ankle length. Collars are fea Good Style" In The three best-liked developments of the fur neckpiece nre tho pelt ol tho fox (with head, tall, and legs, repre sented In almost their original shape), the square cape, and the flat scarf. Short-haired furs are selected for tho long, soft scarfs and many of the square capes, although tho latter ure mado up In all tho popular furs. Fox Is In the ascendant nnd new worlds, peopled with foxes, would seem to bo required to supply the demand for this long, toft iiir. But many another pelt musquerades ns fox with 6uch good effect that they frankly de clare themselves Imitations if anyone really wants to know about It. Skunk Is more durable nnd rather more costly than tho average fox, and makes very rich neckpieces and muffs. It Is a harder fur. Wolf, coyote, nnd opossum are all dyed and cleverly ma nipulated for fur sets and fur band ingri, nnd the muskrnt and millions of rabbits are furnishing pelts that nro transformed Into rich-looking furs. In spite of the search for new fur oenrlng territories furs grow more and .inoro expensive, so that really good skins should be well cared for. Tho chances are that they will go on In In Tailored Suits. tured, and when made In cloth, velvet, or fur nre usually convertible. An Irreproachable tailored suit Is shown in the illustration. It might bo made In broadcloth, velours cloth or "gloveskln." The front of the coat Is In one piece with emplacements at each side, of separate pieces. These shape the waistline a little, but couts are vague fitting. The long, loose sleeves emphasize tho departure from severe models already mentioned. A narrow band of the ma terial of the suit confines their full ness to form a cuff, nnd Is finished with a single button. The double belt at back and front Is featured on many suits. The two belts nt tho front fasten at opposite ends and are fin ished with buttons. This effect in fas tening renppears In the collar, which is a band of, the goods with turnover of velvet added. Fur Neckpieces. creasing In value. Handsome furs need not follow the whims of fashion and change style with the Incoming of now modes. They are superior to these fluctuations. Some furriers, however, advise the use of cheaper pelts for those who prefer stylo to quality, and furriers are amazingly clever In trans forming them Into something uow nnd beautiful. , In the group of fnshlonablo fur pieces shown here a fox skin nppenrn mounted against a satin lining, with a slightly full border of the satin ex tending beyond the edge of the pelt. The border outlines tho head, but tho tall Is Independent of It. The long ermine scarf is nn extreme In size, for scarfs, as u rule, are about two yards In length nnd less thun a half yard wide. This one abandons conservatism with an eye to magnifi cence. The remaining piece Is u prac tical scarf of natural wolf. These pieces may ho relied upon for perma nent "good style." Diamonds nre Increased in price again, tho reason alleged being tho lack of workmen In South Africa on account of tho war. Can Be Put to Excellent Uso for Stuffing and Meat Frying Bread Custard Pudding Is Good Jelly for Invalids.
