"Practicality" Is Keynote of Fall Fashions By MURIEL NARRAWAY Canadian Press Staff Writer LONDON (CP)--From the look of the fall fashions, the sparkle in the summer-time British clothing world seems to have dimmed in MARY HAWORTH'S MAIL sympathy with the vanished Coro- nation decorations. rs "Return to practicality" has been autumn whinin of Mayfair's "big 10" designers, including Nor- man Hartnell, whose embroidered and bejewelled royal gowns were a style feature of the Coronation season. fashions are subdued by |} The Il has been most | contrast.

Instead, elegant dresses with simple lines have panels of em- broidery lighting some particular point in t esign. ; For instance, a bustle-skirted dress in black velvet and white satin has rows of scalloped 'em- broidery in jet, gold, copper and ivory, giving a peacock-tail ect just where the satin bodice meets the velvet skirt. A long-sleeved jacket, its flared peplum bordered with cross fox, is added for street wear. This gives the dress the look of a full-length evening coat. Most of the winter ball gowns have little or no embroidery. An example is a full-skirted Grecian- style dress by Victor Stiebel, de- er to Princess Margaret, = white 'wheatear'" sekers brocade, its only decoration is three shaded roses tucked into the waist where a swathe of material drapes across the skirt. The slanting neckline is ically Grecian. QOiET SHADES ; Many lovely ball gowns are in such quiet, nebulous shades as champagne, opal, grosvenor grey and moonshadow. Newly-sponsored twilight pastels are mauve shadow, misty lilac, nebular grey, savoy grey and pearl blue. There-is, how- ever, a predominance of black and white in day and evening wear. Digby Morton features black lace over white satin in a figure-tight princess dress, its strapless top swathed with black tulle that floats to floor length at back. : A short evening dress with typi- cal Paris lines is a black lace number by Lachkasse with scooped e and long narrow sleeves. back.

By ELEANOR ROSS Activities of fall and winter bring their own fire and accident ha- zards. So take a few moments to review the causes of dangers in the home, and set up precautions to avoid, or at least minimize, the damage, injury, even death that may be caused without such fore- thought. CARE WITH WIRING See that all wiring is carefully placed along baseboard tops or, better still, completely concealed. When building or remodeling have a series of outlets along wallboards and at strategic places to mini- mize g as much as possible. When dry cleaning at home, never use an explosive cleaner such as naphtha, benzene or gas- Even the friction et up by e | rubbing a garment can set fire to the fumes, and there is always the ever-present danger of static electricity in the air. Even that generated by the ringing of the oorbell can start the combustion. To remove small spots, use a commercial cleaning solvent, but very careful with this, too. Have plenty of ventilation where you work, and, if possible, do the job outdoors. WHEN GREASE CATCHES FIRE Danger lurks in the skillet, when grease catches fire. The safest way to put out the flames is to turn the burner off quickly and throw salt on the burning grease. Never never use water on burning fat or Now That Winter Approaches Have a Care to Home Hazards oll. A small fire extinguisher is an excellent thing to have at hand in the kitchen. It is a wise woman who sears simple clothes while doing her homemaking duties, avoiding any with fullness and ruffles, and choosing simple, rala- tively close-fitting housedresses. Long' hair should be pinned up or held in net or snood. Slippers or old shoes with run-down heels, should be discarded in favor of well-fitting low-heeled oxford, san- dal or strap shoes that support the foot and so help prevent a fall or missing a step.

My boy friends were always de- cent fellows; we did nothing of which to be ashamed and, when a party turned into a petting party, my beau took me home -- at my request. I learned that a simple sincere 'No' was all I needed to keep a boy in line. Eighteen months ago I married Joe, the most wonderful guy in the world and, while he was here, I was never bothered by other men. But since he went overseas with the army last February, I am back in circulation -- so the fellows seem to think. I love my husband dearly and intend to be true to him forever but, with each month of his lengthening absence, more and more wolves appear. I live with my parents, so I am not alone in an apartment. From the day I met Joe I have never dated nor even thought of anyone else; yet no matter where I go, or with whom, I seem to attract unwanted company. Even with my dad or father-in-law, or an uncle or brother as an escort, I am confronted by some charac- ter trying to run interference. When these wolves try to start a conversation I show my wedding ring and say I am definitely not interested. Still they follow, though I ignore them. I am just an average-looking girl with an average figure. I try to avoid places where I might be pick- up bait; but it seems that wolves are everywhere. I am annoyed at these playboys and don't want their attentions. Why am I such a mag- pel When 1 neither want nor try to ? -- L. UNCONSCIOUS ATTRACTION Dear L.Y.: Your distracting ap- peal for the male probably has its origin in your unconscious, in a What Line Should Wife Take To Keep off Persistent Playboys? self-satisfaction in being female-- a woman who notes and apprec- iates the existence of two sexes, without being at all envious or competitive as regards the other sex. This profound happy accep- tance of significant things as they are doubtless registers in your countenance, gestures and bearing, Without your being aware of the impression you make. Most masculine men are irresis- tibly attracted to the company of the quintessentially feminine wom- an. Her nature draws them as silently, as effortlessly, as the flowers draw bees--and though she may be only 'average looking," with "'average figure," it isn't im- portant from their view, because of the heightened sense of male being she stirs in them. This magnetism, that seems to figure in your dificulties with men nowadays, is an aspect of cosmic polarity, I suppose. By which I mean the business of complemen- tary (but different) energies in nature coming together, not taking thought, but in tacit obed- ience to primordial impulsion, which aims at the creation and-or evolution of species. Looking at your playboy pur- suers in this light, it seems to me that they aren't addressing the individual You, so much as they are drifting like chips on the cur- rents of life. Because they are de- faulting on their privilege as hu- man creatures -- the privilege of governing their experience by ra- tional plan, considerately adapted to the general good--their behavior is trivial. It is happenstance, a thing of going in circles in quest of sensation, as if to reassure them- selves .that they are alive. If you aren't disturbed by the wolf pack, in the sense of being tempted to folly, there is no cause for concern -- especially as you live with your parents and have their protection. Men of the play- boy type are emotionally unstable and fairly inclusive in their skirt- chasing, so don't take them seri- ously. Your best bet is to treat them indifferently -- not defensively -- and dismiss them from mind when the encounter is over. If they find they're not making a dent ir your imagination, they will quit you for other game, -- M.H, Mary Haworth counsels through her column, not by mail or per- sonal interview.

The Indians had a word for the bright red berries that pro- vided Cape Cod tribes with food and medicine and the word was |4 '"'Sassamanesh". They gathered the fruit wild from th. lowlands, ground it into a pulpy mixture with dried deer meat, and made pemmican. This art they passed on to the Pilgrims who made b the native berry into a traditional American club at Thanksgiving. How and when the name '"'cran- |$ berry" was first derived is not historic fact, but one has orly fo look closely at the delicate pink |¢ blossoms, nodding on their grace- ful stems like miniature crane's heads, to guess that the name might have once been 'crane ber- ry' before it was shortened. The Indian name disappeared as did the Indian recipes. Enterpris- ing farmers began cregberry culti- vation which spread from Massa- chusetts to New Jersey, Wisconsin, Washington and Oregon. Growers' cooperatives were formed to mar- ket the increasin- cops and soon cranberries became a nationwide industry. The uses of cranberries expanded too. Cranberry canning and later the processing of cran- berry juice made it possible for the healthful fruit to become a favorite all year 'round dish in all parts of the country. But, although cranberries have progressed with the times, an aura of their historic background still clings to them.
