Now’s Time for a New Silk Print

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.

* 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

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

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.

Crocodile Foiled
Three white men with guns ana
dozens of tribesmen with spears res
cued a native boy from the jaws of
a crocodile on a tributary of the
Mitchell river in northeast Austra
lia, it is reported at Brisbane.
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.
Can Spring Be Far Away?

shoulder and short, puffed sleeves
—details that are unusually be
coming and make for distinction.
Trim Morning Frock.
Simple, yet charming fresh and
youthful, this model dispenses
with all fussy details. The skirt
Hares a bit from a neatly fitted
waistline, and the ric-rac trim,
in contrast, adds a note of bright
less. Just nine pieces including
the belt and pockets. Try dot
ted swiss or a printed percale.

~ TIPS to
Kjardeners
The First Step
' PHE first step toward a success
A ful garden is an early start.
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

First, P. A. hugs the paper—rolls up fast

Well, Al, when a tobacco has the bite

to smoke milder—it’s bound to give you
real smokin’ joy.
