Well, it’s a sort of propaganda ' against procrastination, 1 explained. Eventually fall sewing must be done, so why not now when new things are popping out of every box in the store and beautiful fab rics make beguiling promises of smart fall clothes to every woman •who sews. Let me tell you about some of them: Growing Under — blast —i n the ZT rimm ing ^Section are g 1 i s t ening L flowers that ^r i v a 1 Mr. B u r b ank's most exotic ^blooms. A spray of them fastened a bit to the left at the waistline of a simple silk frock, instantly makes anything more seem su perfluous. Beaded mo tifs in rich Oriental hues further spread the notion that fall sewing is really very easy when they are the only ornaments needed for a dignified cloth dress. After the Ball Wouldn’t it. be thrilling, to see your gown de scribed in the paper the m o r n i n g after the Ak Sar-Ben ball some thing like this: “A scintillat ing frock of rhinestone studded orchid chiffon was worn by Mrs. Burk ley-Smith.” Then why not ask to see the differ , ent evening, shades of this new material in the Trimming Section? .4 Tip in Silks Earthquakes in Japan caused the raw silk mar ket to cavort about this week, but the demand j for Satin Cantons in our Silk Section holds firm. That it is a satin season is no longer a matter of speculation and obvious ly when a rich satin sur face is added to the many virtues of Canton Crepe, Satin Canton be comes a gilt-edge invest ment for fall frocks. It will be most used in black, but other daytime colors are lovely, too. $3.7o a yard. “Supposin'' II ith Apologies to Field h u p posin you came d o w n t o Thorn pson Belden’sr M o n d a \ ’ morning to see it the new things really are as love ly as they say they are in the ads. Supposin’ they were. But you said to Mrs. Minnikua in the Trimming Section, "I'm just wild for a black satin dress with one of those rhinestone orna ments sparkling on it, but I can’t make it my self!" Then she'll say, "Why we can tell you of a good dressmaker, one who will come to the house and sew or an ex perienced modiste to whom you can trust your best dross." Such a list has been prepared for the benefit of our cs tomera. Supposin’ you try it! G. P. S. |
