Now’s Time for a New Silk Print Rv CURRIE MCHOI \S ftv.-■ -w: nimiii'ini imiwnmrm nunr m UP TO the present you may have held to the "nothing-new under time sun" theory, but have you seen the advance collections of 1938 silk prints? New! They all but shatter into atoms the "nothing new" idea So “different” are this season’s prints from those that have gone before, one marvels at the magic art of designers who can achieve such refreshing newness in both pat ternings and color effects. Speaking of the new-this-season prints, picture to yourself a silk with graceful wavy stripes with a wide floral bordering of gorgeous red roses and violets and daisies and green foliage. Imagine the pos sibilities a silk of this type offers We saw just such a print made up simply in a frock, the gay floral bordering used for short pull sleeves and for a wide corselet girdle, contrasting smartly the neutral colored stripes—charming to wear under your fur coat instant er! Stripes, by the way, are playing a tremendously important role in current prints For that matter they are running rampant through out the entire program of fashion. There's a newness in the way stripes are made to go round and round this season although any which away is all right for stripes nowadays—up. down, around, diag onal seamed together at right ang gles, play with stripes at your own sweet will and you will be "in style.” See the smart daytime dress to the right in the picture. It is typical of the new stripe trends. The silk print used is patterned with baya dere stripes alternating a chain-de sign stripe in cathedral colors on a black background. Note the hat. It is modeled after the much-talked about "M” hat Agnes created for Marlene Dietrich. The distinctively new half-in-half treatment given to the print plus black crepe dress to the left is in teresting. Here you see a beige and YOUR HOUSE COAT Hv CHKIUE NICHOLAS What about your nousecoat? Does it give you glamor and allure? Does it add to the picture of your home environs? Merely a few of the ques tions you should ask yourself when selecting the garment that should make you appear at your most at tractive during the hours spent at home. The new models in house coats have completely won over the American woman to this charming / fashion. The Fashioncraft commit tee, a group of style experts, have given their approval to the attrac tive model created by Henry Hadad as here illustrated. Floral cotton tapestry twill is fitted through the bodice and waist flaring widely at the skirt. The shoulders are pleat ed, the collar notched and a zipper closes the front LATEST HATS GO TO EXTREMES IN TYPES lly CIIERIE NICHOLAS You may wear a very-small hat or one big of brim and be in fash ion. Many of the new chapeaux tip coquettishly over one eye, es pecially those of Watteau inspira lion and the Gibson Girl sailors. Then there are roll-high brims which are designed to wear far back on the head. Bonnets, so fashion able just now, also set back so that the brim reveals the hairline across the forehead. Pill-box types are al so good style. There is also a tendency for brims with high side flare. Milliners are using more flowers and ribboris than usual. Bandeau effects are sponsored because of high pose on high-brushed hair dress. The smartest hat to start the new season is the sports felt in pastel color. Veils in pastel color are also big news. Suspenders Are Adopted by Women for Slacks, Shorts Suspenders are the latest item of men's attire to be confiscated by the women. Half of the slacks and many of the shorts being worn at the winter resorts are equipped with suspenders. Some of these braces are exactly like the ones that men prefer, others match the fabric of the costume. White faille silk braces are among the swankiest to be offered for beach wear and invariably accom pany slacks of white sharkskin. Evening Gowns Are Shown in Two Silhouette Modes Evening gowns are shown in both romantic and tubular silhouettes. ^ romantic gown of tulle combines green and purple effectively, whih another of black mousseline de soit is cut full over a tubular foundatior skirt. It is of redingote design, tht opening edged with black sequins white lacy print on black ground meandering down into the hemline where it is gracefully appliqued in long slender points on to a black silk canton crepe hem. The wat teau neckline is set oil with rhine stone and amber clips. The hat worn is a modish black straw Irish stovepipe type, trimmed with beige grosgrain bow. The mention of beige reminds us to tell you that fashion is making a big splurge over the new cereal shades, dressing particularly wheat colors and cornflake tones, all ot which relate to the beige family. Another color innovation in prints is the black and white combination that is enlivened with a single color accent. A silk print of this descrip tion fashions the dress centered in the group. It is a black and white floral with a one-color lattice design traced throughout. The silk crepe belt picks up the tomato red color in the lattice print. The black high side-roll brim hat is a stunning af fair, that gives you an inkling ol that which is to be during the com ing months. Here's a style message to write down m your notebook and under score. It’s in regard to the effec tive teamwork prints and pleats are carrying on in the spring style pa rade. You can't turn around in fashiondom this season without hearing the call for pleats, pleats, pleats and “then some” in the way of added pleatings. If you are making your own print frock you might get the skirt pleated or if it is a ready-made dress you are buy ing ask to see pleated models. They are being shown in infinite variety and they carry an air of newness about them that bespeaks this sea son's vintage. © Western Newspaper Union. I WHO’S news! THIS WEEK... By Lemuel F. Perton TfrtvwivvU'fiiffTfwW NTEW YORK.—There is hope for * world peace and solvency. Some day a little band of diplomats and financiers will meet in the Paris catacombs or a Diplomats London fog, heav Prey to ily disguised, and j Pertinax P u 1 something over, and Pertinax won’t catch them at it. To date, the watchful French journalist has anticipated and cried down every effort, warning all and sundry that, ! whatever it is, it won't work, j Thus, the studious proposals of Paul van Zeeland, former premier of Belgium, were blasted several i weeks in advance of their publica tion, as just so much eye-wash. Pertinax is one of the most bril liant and influential journalists of Europe and anything he touches up in advance goes in with two strikes against it. As does the Van Zeeland plan for economic reconstruction. Walt Disney is readying “Snow White” for France. That probably means that Pertinax is preparing to swing on it, just before it lands there. One American commen tator made the film his sole excep tion in many years of dissent. Noth ing like that may be expected from Pertinax. He is the only full-time dissenter who bats 1.000. He has picked fights with Senator Borah, former Presi dent Hoover (being the only man ever to assail an American Presi dent with that dignitary present), with all the Germans, before, dur ing and after the war, and with all ambassadors of good will. In 1933, the French government announced it would spend $1,320,000 to build good will Wise Cracks in America. Pcr Soured U. S. tinax, fielding that i Good Will one- Pe8ged over to this country some sour cracks about American materialism. And, just in passing, any French journalist ought to know a lot about materialists. For a few days it looked as if he might over look the recent Brussels conference, but he was on the job and smeared it in plenty of time to get it a bad press. He is at his best in discov ering and exposing Geneva's good will conspiracies. He is a Parisian sophisticate, dap per, dressy, monocled, getting about a great deal and nosing in various diplomatic feed-boxes—a first-class reporter; but never satisfied. One of the depressing things about him is that he is so often right as he pans this or that hopeful endeavor before anybody else knows what it is. APROPOS of recent flare-ups of the bchaviorist argument among the psychologists, here’s Eugene Ormandy in the news as a timely exhibit of the efTect of early conditioning. Long before he was married,-Eugene Ormandy’s father, a Hungarian dentist, used to say, “Some day I’m going to get mar ried and have a son and I'm going to make him a great violinist.” Years later, he pressed a tiny violin into his new baby’s hand and had him coached in rhythm before he was out of the cradle. At the age of three, the boy was working hard at his violin lessons. His only toys were Boy Wonder music boxes. And New Great now, Eugene Or 1 Conductor mandy- conductor of the Philadel phia orchestra, gets the Gustav Mahler medal, following the per formance of his composition, “Das Lied Von Der Erde.” At the age of five, he was a stu dent in the Budapest academy of music, through at fourteen, but not | allowed to go on tour as a violinist until he was seventeen. In 1921, he | was in New York, hoping to bridge ! the break in his career with his last ; five-cent piece. He did, as a violin ist at the Capitol theater, then as sistant conductor, later with Roxy's gang and then six years as conduc tor of the Minneapolis symphony or chestra. He is perhaps the first conductor to be upped to fame by radio. His father in Hungary isn’t alto gether pleased. “Just think what a I great violinist you might have been,” he wrote to his son.

Blood-curdling screams woke the camp and the huge reptile was seen carrying the boy to the stream by ! his shoulder. It reached the shal lows and started for deep water. The contour of the bank enabled the rescuers to head it otf. Repeating rifles at close range failed to stop the beast, but it was maneuvered into such a position that natives drove many spears into it. < — “Abide With Me,” Victory Song “Abide With Me” was the vic t tory chant of the English when they took Jerusalem during the World war. It figured in another great con quest when Lord Kitchener recon quered for England the Anglo-Egyp tian Sudan. "Abide With Me” was sung to commemorate the victory.

Spade or plow as soon as pos sible. If a handful of soil gripped firmly can be crumbled readily upon release, the soil is in condi tion to be worked. It is important that fertilizer be used cautiously, advises Harold Coulter, vegetable expert of the Ferry Seed Institute. An excess is often harmful, particularly in growing fruits, such as tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers. Garden preparation effort is wasted if you do not plant seeds from dependable sources. Select your favorite varieties from the nearby store before the supply is depleted, even though it is not yet time to plant. Make sure the seeds you buy are freshly packed. Weather conditions permitting, it is advisable to spade into the soil some rotted manure, rotted leaves or lawn clippings, or rotted garden refuse. Clay soils are im- ■ proved in texture by this treat ment, and sandy soils are im proved in water holding capacity, i 1 ^ Mu'yo Carillon Mayo Clinic tower has a carillon of 23 bells, the largest weighing 4 tons, the smallest 168 pounds; the clapper of each bell weighs one-sixteenth of the weight of the bell.
