Snow Drinks Forerunner of Ice Cream Industry Who first invented ice cream? No ope really knows. Alexander the reat is recorded as having a great weakness for snow-cooled fruit drinks. mixed with exorbitantly priced snow. And an old Roman cook, Quintus Maximus Gurges, is said to have been the first to serve ice cream soda, says a writer in London Answers Magazine. All that historians are really cer- tain about is that by the Middle ages ice cream had definitely “‘ar- rived” in court circles. Four cen- turies ago, Catherine de Medici was being served with ice cream of a different flavor every day. As usual, the English were all behind in this branch of civilization. Charles 1 remedied matters a lit- tle by bringing over a French chef who surprised the king with the delicacy. With the coming of the Civil war, the Frenchman fled back to his na- tive land, taking the secret with him. From that time until the sev- SMART clothes are alive with fabric interest this fall.

They are nubbed and flecked in decorative weavings that capture your fancy at first sight. When you go tweed shopping, and of course you will if you are assembling a school-faring clothes collection, ask to see some of the new-this-season candlewick tweed, the latest herringbone weaves, smart diagonals, the houndstooth, tattersall, ropey plaid and sugar- leat patternings, and you will feel, having these, that you have had a liberal education on the sub- ject of tweeds at the very start. The next thing is to decide on which tweed is the tweed you want most. To help you out we are sug- gesting a nubby beige tweed flecked with white such as makes the smart three-piece costume as shown to the left in the picture. Here is an out- fit that is ideal for fall wear on campus or in town. It pretty near comes to being a whole wardrobe in itself. A suit that has a topcoat as has this is an economical buy no matter what it costs, for it takes care of the problem of an early fall coat since it can be worn as a separate wrap. Note its button-back revers, also the unpressed pleats running down from the slash pocket lines. The matching suit has a chic high lapel collar, triangular pockets and narrow leather belt. The skirt is cut straight and slim as a fash- ionable daytime skirt must be this season. And we are not through talking about tweeds for we just must men- tion the especially lovely “‘winter pastels” that belong to the tweed family. More than likely you won't be able to resist them because of the fine shetland and other fine yarns used in the spinning. You can get novelty open weaves if you wish. seen Very youthful and attractive for campus wear is the two-piece frock of sheer rabbit woolen centered in the group. The pleated-all-around skirt bespeaks ‘last word" vogue You really must have a pleated wool skirt if you are going away to school to wear with your sweater, with your suede jacket, and with blouses galore. The wide shoulder line, high lapel collar and front-buttoned jack- et closing are nice points but we've saved the nicest point to the last— those cunn bows on the pockets! Now an idea that's going to send you right to the head of the class. Made of the very self- same material as the suit itself these bows add infinitely to the chic of this most attractive outfit and make it outstanding Yinet tlie there's A luxurious natural wolf tuxedo collar runs the length of the top- coat of this stunning three-piece cos- tume shown to the right. The tout ensemble is made of novelty woolen with a diagonal rib weave in deep brown flecked with beige. This out- fit is entirely in line with the vogue that calls for lavish- ment of fur on suits and coats. The tuxedo effects are especially good this season Handsome furs will be used unsparingly with care taken in achieving color blends that unify the costume. Citing other fashionable wool weaves, there are the new coatin fabrics that have long hair inter- spersed and tightly embedded in the texture, their sheen contrasting against the soft surface of the fab- ric. Tightly twisted boucle nubs are also decorative and colorful Persian lamb cloth is a new fab- ric this season. For children’s coats, a new chinchilla fabric in soft colors is important. Fleeces, both woven and knitted, are in demand. Suedes, velours and duvetynes are outstand- ing for dressy wear. For formal type costumes broadcloth is a leader. © Western Newspaper Union. this season DRAPE AND SHIRR By CHERIE NICHOLAS A perfect afternoon frock for the young girl is this style in spongy texture lightweight wool.

In analyzing the lives of successful men and women, we usually find that they got the work habit early in life and never lost it. Herbert Hoover was a worker. He was born in 1874, in West Branch, lowa, the son of a blacksmith. His father died when he was six years old, his mother when he was nine; and he went to live with an uncle who operated a Quaker academy in Oregon. Herbert earned his board by doing feeding and currying the horses, milking cows, and tending the furnace. All of this was in addition to his regular school work and, as if this were not enough work for a young boy, he studied English literature and his- tory outside of school hours. Later odd chores, in Salem, Oregon, Herbert worked as an office boy for his uncle, and went to night school until he had enough credits to enter Leland Stan- ford university. He worked his way through by acting as clerk for the registrar, and handling and deliv- ering the San Francisco News on the campus. Later he started a laundry agency, calling for the bags of soiled laundry and delivering the bundles himself. In 1803, Herbert Hoover got a job with the United States Geological society. He had natural ability at engineering. That together with the habit of work, gained rapid prog- ress for him. He became nationally known as a successful engineer and a business man. In 1928 he became President of the United States.
