Line a deep pic plate with pastry, then have apples ready to put on hot, cover with more pastry and bake in a moderate oven from J to 3 of an hour. This can be eaten hot or cold. SPEAKING OF STYLE (By Eleanor Gunn) FURS CALLED FANCY NAMES TO-DAY New York—When it comes to furs, things are seldom what they seem. Nature-faking has made all manner of novelty furs grow on one humble little animal. For example, there’s the skunk, who seems to have at least one up on the leopard, since the skunk can change his stripes if the leopard can t his spots. The next time your furrier shows you a zorino coat, you might reply, “I say it’s skunk,” for just as truly as lapin is rabbit, and barunduki is chipmunk, so is zorino a dressed-up skunk. It’s usually dyed a neutral pale brown, the give-away stripe being a darker shade of the same. Whether or not I have been sufficiently impressive on the subject of muff's, I do feel that there is still much to be said about them. Muffs are not “coming back” —they are back, and in very unusual shapes. The bolster muff, an elongated version of the pillow one, is one of my pets, especially when tied in the middle, as Schiaparelli does it. Let me also accent the importance of the abbreviated fur bolero, an evening affectation that you will find comforting. For that matter, there are very brief fur jackets—boleros, some of them —intended to be worn at those gala late-afternoon gatherings for which all manner of grand clothes have been designed. I have a feeling that I may have failed in my duty toward embroideries, which are ever so important—when overdone. Some of the very best embroidered efforts are put forth on wool, the embroidered wool dress being a great favourite at the moment. There is also the dress with necklace neckline —an awkward phrase, but a graceful fashion. | WITH WHITE CHIFFON Bright young formula for white chiffon evening gown; red ostrich feather belt and a matching red carnation in the hair.
