Fashion writer Cherie Nicholas previews fresh coat trends with both swagger and ulster types, including fur trims, detachable fur gilets, and dyed furs. Parisian influence appears in Bruyere’s quilted shoulder cape and Schiaparelli’s parachute cape, while the coachman and cape silhouettes diversify the season’s coats across sizes and tastes.
Paris has sent a surge of formal nightgowns with trains to America where young women claim their evening dresses are nightgowns. The gowns feature lavish lace and long jackets or coats, with many designs that rival formal wear while remaining distinctly nightgown in intent.
Evening mittens designed to fit over fine suede or glace gloves may be hand knitted or simulated wool. They come in colors like Czech peasant gloves or cream and yellow, with options in silk or cotton velvet for bright tones.
A new garment feature lets a double fox be snapped onto a plain coat. It adjusts around the throat, snaps along the coat edge, and extends to the hem. The piece is removable and can also be worn as a scarf.
London women flaunt thick glass bracelets featuring tiny fish that appear to swim inside. The trend showcases bold aquatic motifs and modern jewelry design in the capital.
Cherie Nicholas notes the jacket blouse as the latest blouse style in varied materials from silver metal cloth to gingham. Velvet and plaid wool blends, plus taffeta, appear in new ensembles with accessories like a wide scarf and wrist gauntlet. The trend favors a modish jacket silhouette across fabrics.
United States Department of Agriculture warns farmers to avoid plowing timothy, alfalfa, or other crops likely to produce hay in 1985. Dr. A J Pieters projects a nationwide hay shortage, urging saving every acre of grasses and legumes and using poorer hay at home while markets adapt.
Lice on farm animals hinder growth especially in calves and colts. The USDA notes each species has its own lice life cycle and recommends starting treatment at first observation. Dusting with insect powder is possible, but dipping or spraying with arsenical, coal tar creosote, or nicotine solutions in fall is best.
Studies show the average cow requires about 12 gallons of water daily, with high producers drinking up to 25 gallons especially in hot weather. Continuous water access in the barn or at external sources helps sustain milk production.
The article notes soil washing destroying 35,000,000 acres for agricultural use. It mentions 300 community canneries in Georgia aiding farmers, dangers from handling fruit in picking containers, and bruising risks from collar length. It also reports Crotalaria as a soil-improvement crop in North Carolina and the U S department merging two units into the bureau of entomology and plant quarantine.
An old question about sex appeal is examined beyond the physical. The author argues sex appeal includes emotional connection and mutual respect, not just looks. The piece cites marriage dynamics showing that neglect and vanity harm attraction, urging readers to consider genuine appeal over surface charm.
The Star-Times quotes a sharp remark about a newly discovered war gas that can be ignited by a simple touch and suggests giving a flask to enthusiastic hand shakers. The comment satirizes wartime fear and public bravado.
A fragment from a Bell Syndicate WNU Service item hints at a human relations note about personalities and liking each other, but the passage is incomplete and lacks clear events or facts for a full card.
The advertisement proclaims lower prices on Bayer Aspirin across the United States. It urges customers to request Bayer by name to ensure authenticity and highlights fast relief for headaches and rheumatic pains with 12 tablet tins, 24 tablet bottles, and 100 tablet bottles available at reduced rates.
