Short Cuts

Brown sugar tends to get lumpy and should be rolled smooth before measuring. Also, since it has a tricky way of looking like a cupful when only two-thirds full, pack it solidly into the cup before levelling it off. Rubber-tire castors will make a convenient tea-wagon out of a table too low or two small to be of much use otherwise. COIFFURES A PROBLEM A word on the new high coiffure. Little by little, though not in large numbers, girls and women are “trying” it, and though they like it for evening, are non-plussed as to it for daytime as, they tell us, they can’t find hats to look right. Again, the low hat is the one that can “sit pretty” on top of a high-posed mass of curls. BEIGE AND BLACK Paris —Greyish beige and pastel coats by Bruyere are shown with black afternoon crepes, and one black coat dress with slide fastening is edged to the hem with pale green. HEAD VEIL GROWS To say that the head veil is a growing fashion is not to mean exclusively that more women are seen wearing this flattering hair ornamentation at night. This mention refers to the growth, in actual size, of the head veil until it has the proportions and allure of a mantilla, that fairly large lace shawl-like covering which Spanish women wear with such charm.
