For day-long play and school activities, mother has chosen cSrduroy l outfits for little brothel and sister. We are going to tell you about little brother's outfit even if he isn't pictured here. He sports a longie suit in cordurex (male ver-sion of the same corduroy that sis-ter wears). It is tailored to perfec-tion. Tweed sleeves and collar give a new look and masculine air. Lit-tle sister, as you see, wears a pina-fore in blue cordurella, the modern lightweight corduroy that washes and wears. The braid trim in bright peasant colors is a touch of distinc-tion.

EUROPE: ( Fronts Afire The whole French battlefront quivered to the clap and clatter of gunfire as U. S. and British forces pressed their twin offensives against the German lines, with American troops reported approximately 50 miles from Paris. While mechanized columns speed-ed the U. S. advance upon the for-mer French capital from the west British and Canadian forces were making slower progress to the north Mow Caen, where strong enemy armored formations hacked away to contain the onslaught while still other large concentrations de-fended their exposed flank. As the Allied drive on Paris rolled on through good tank country, U. S. forces in Brittany threw in all the weight of their superior gun and tank fire to reduce the coastal ports of Brest, Lorient and St. Nazaire, which would open up important sup- - ' ply lines from the Atlantic ocean. With every man, woman and child in East Prussia mustered for civfl- - Ian war service, and Russian forces Tough German paratroopers, who faced the American on- - slaught at St. Lo, developed a deep respect for V.

In southern Illinois, soybean growth was poor to good, while extensive failures of potatoes, pastures and gardens were reported in Ohio. West of the Mississippi, however, corn prospects were excellent, with promise of a banner crop in Iowa where the drought was broken in the south, and a record harvest in Nebraska, with one more good rain.

From the lowest depth there is a path to the loftiest height. Carlyle. Dramatic Combining Of Colors Is Latest Costumes and Accessories Come in Radiant Hues.

This enthusiasm for color is not confined to accessories and trimming touches but dresses and blouses, and, in fact, the entire cos-tume declares the supremacy oi color in the fall and winter mode. Designers are taking delight in throwing several contrast colors to-gether such as they would never dream of doing in days of yore, and the answer is costumes so dra-matically and beautifully colorful as to call forth utmost admiration. There's the sports dress, per ex-ample, displayed in a noted collec-tion that drew extravagant praise because of its artful design. The skirt was of rayon flannel in a soft gray tone. The weskit top was gray only at the back. For the front the right side was red contrasted with a left side carried out in a clear aqua shade. To the home dressmaker the mes-sage of and dresses and blouses will prove most wel-come in that one can buy short lengths of material and work them up smartly and successfully in ver-satile ways.

A belt of fuchsia shade dramatizes even the simples! dress. You can carry color in your hand in way of a draped baby calf hand-bag done in chamois, lilac, hyacintl and innumerable other hues. At your throat there's color when you wear a rainbow-colore-bubble necklace. Be sure to add matching earrings which also . radiate pinks and light blues, yel-lows and pale greens in iridescent - loveliness.

Advertisement - - ' "L - .' --r- - Good Table Manners as They Were Back in 1884 These excerpts are from the "Manual of Good Manners" pub-lished in 1844 quoted by Arthur Train in "Puritan's Progress": "Never be squinting and scowl-ing and examining the victuals, to see if you can discover a coal or a speck or a hair; if you find one, take it out decently, and not make a great ado about it." "Eat what you need before you rise from the table; and not be picking and eating afterwards. Never pocket victuals at the table, it denotes a thievish disposition." "When you have done eating, clean your plate, knife and fork, lay the bones you have picked in a snug heap by the side of your plate, scrape up your crumbs, and cross your knife and fork on your plate." "Speak not at table. Laugh not at table; it shows unthankfuiness." "The mouth and teeth should be scoured out once each day with cole dust, which is not only good to cleanse the teeth, but is also an excellent preservative to them." Style Notes Fuchsia tones continue to top the color list. Gray furs in promise for fall are new and young.' Dress-u- p look rather than casual is fashion's new trend. Heather tones are coming in and they are lovely. The swing is to colorful gabar-dine for first fall suits. Bustle-bo- dresses are shown in the new collections. Most of the new dresses are styled either with peplums or swathed hips. Stunning belts, buttons and monograms dress up simple wools and crepes. Favorite coat for midseason and early fall is the simple man-darin topper of gay wool. Braising, browning and cooking in a small amount of moisture with the lid on, is used for less tender meat cuts. Waffles are grand for dessert when topped with cream cheese mixed with cherry or blueberry jam. Be generous with both the cheese and jam. No need for but-ter as the cheese is rich enough. A dry cloth is better for remov-ing a pan or dish from the stove or oven than a damp or wet one. Jellied vegetable and fruit dishes which may be prepared be-fore the sun goes into high noon are a boon to the housewife on hot summer davs. When window shades wear and become soiled at the bottom they can be taken off the roller, turned tacked back on the roller and hemmed at the new bot-tom edge. To repair a break in an exten-sion cord, strip the insulation from the wires for a few inches on either side of the break, twist the ends of broken wires together, sol-der, tape with rubber splicing compound and wind with friction tape. Don't put two splices side by side when repairing broken wires. Offset them a little. Salt Worth Its Weight In Gold in Some Areas A few cents buys a packet of salt in this country. Its very abun-dance here makes it difficult for us to realize its value to man-kind. The fact is that salt is one of the most precious products in the world, and in desert areas it is literally worth its weight in gold. Intrinsically, it is even more valuable, for gold cannot buy health, but salt can maintain it. The famous traveller, A. Tschif-fel-who rode horseback from Buenos Aires to Washington, says that when journeying in desert re-gions, acting on the advice of na-tives, he always carried a bottle of lemon juice mixed with salt water to save him from fatigue.

Counsel looked sternly at the man in the witness stand and demand-ed: "Did you, or did you not, on the date in question, or at any time previously or subsequently, say, or even intimate to the defendant or anyone else, whether friend or mere acquaintance, or, in fact, a stranger, that the statement im-puted to you, whether just or un-just, and denied by the plaintiff, was a matter of no moment or otherwise?
