Dame Fashion
Smiles
By Grace Jeuiett Austin
When Dame Fashion went as a
bride to a small New England town
in western Mas-
' '“ij lie* sha| if a
Jljj novelist, now
M ff ui t e generally
\l \\ forgotten, who
P ffl because lier book,
Identified wit it
Grace J Austin. t | l(J revere( j Phil
lips Brooks. Her heroine, in those
days of more than thirty-five years
ago, liar] a “rainy-day friz” of arti
ficial ringlets sewed into her hat,
and the poor novelist came in for
more or less criticism because the
hero, for lack of more precious sou
venirs, took this false piece to save
for a treasure.
Never, never since tiiat day so long
ago until this season lias Dame Fash
ion heard of similar planning, until a
recent Paris dispatch came, headed,
“Sewed-in Kinglets Boosted in Paris.”
It goes on to declare, “Curls which
conte off with the bonnet, being sewed
into it, are a serious suggestion of
Parisian milliners, including some of
note. They are attached at the back
of the bonnet shaped hats for afternoon
and evening wear. Most of them are
just a turned-up fringe, but some mil
liners are sewing three and four-inch
curls into such hats.” The old adage
in New England used to be, “Keep a
thing for seven years and you will
find a use for it,” but in fashion cy
cles, “Keep a style for forty years and
it returns,” might be nearer.
One good index finger comes point
ing out of this story. And that is,
that Paris still sets strong approval
upon the close-shaped bonnet bat,
which in becomingness lias some of
the qualities of the famous “little girl
with a curl”; when it is well suited to
the face, it is immensely becoming, but
"when it’s bad, it’s horrid.” Not so
many years ago, when hats were made
comfortably large, milliners often
slipped inside them an adjustable
hand, to make them fit the head, call
ing this a "halo.” A rhymester wrote:
The modern saint is modest,
Though she’s good for this and that;
But you’ll surely have to praise her
For her halo’s in her hat! ~~
Now times have changed. Sweeping
up from the face, in many of the new
est season hats goes a semi-circular
section, of the same material as the
hat, or a trimming material. And the
technical name for this extremely
prominent part of the modern hat is
“halo!”
Quite in contrast with the old idea
of “keeping seven years” is the new
industrial idea coming to the fore of
“creative wasting.” A powerful speech
wat, lately made by a great man in
industry on this topic. Declared lie,
“We need to do more creative wast
ing in order to promote greater prog
ress.” So if we have pondered wheth
er to “get through another summer
with last year’s hat,” it probably
would lie the part of wisdom to do a
hit of this high-sounding “waste” and
bloom out like I lie roses.

Spring Ensemble Suit,
Blue Woolen Material
* v. >
King’s blue woolen material is used
for this charming spring ensemble. It
consists of a hip-length jacket and
wrap-around skirt. A blouse of blue
and-white-checked gingham shows a
Windsor tie, and the hat and slippers
are of matching king’s blue.
Polka Dot Accessories
Mouthful cardigan, kerchief and belt
ensembles are shown in the always at
tractive polka dot. This trio is pre
dicted as tlie cleverest tennis outfit
for wear with a white or pastel sleeve
less frock. A few very charming
three-piece ensembles are seen in
polka dot and plain combinations.

All Women Should Study
Problems of Dressmaking
Commercial dress patterns are made
to suit certain specified textiles, says
Marjorie Kinney, in an article on
home dressmaking, in the People’s
Home Journal magazine. Because of
this, she says, it is the best plan to
select the material and pattern in re
lation to each other before purchase.
“A model is designed in a specific
textile,” says this writer. “This means'
if a velvet model is bought to be cop
ied, the pattern is adapted to velvet
and probably is not suited to cotton or
chiffon. This is the first stumbling
block for the home sewer—she does
not think in terms of material and
pattern.
“The second point is to select the
dress best suited to your type,” con
tinues ttiis writer. “The lines and
silhouette are most essential pre
requisites for a smart and becoming
costume. Every woman should enjoy
studying her own problems of dress
ing, selecting lines which will bring
out all her best points and cover any
defects, and indulging only in colors
which will make her look young and
pretty rattier than old and worn. If
one will only give tin’s thought to the
selection of her clothes there is no
reason on earth why she may not lie
becomingly dressed for a minimum
sum.”
Semisports Style Shoe
Introduces Innovations
An unusually attractive new semi
sports shoe is being shown, it is an
oxford of leather with triple eyelets
and is made up in two colors, dark
brown with a rich beige. Heels, toes
and eyelet parts are of tlie brown,
while tlie remainder is of the beige.
Tlie beige section is perforated in an
all-over design which lends a very
“swagger” appearance to (he shoe.
The heels, too, are different from
those seen recently; they are high,
with straight lines, yet comfortable,
and very flattering to most women’s
feet.
For day wear there are new steel
cut shoe buckles In square, oblong and
oval shapes. The designs are worked
out in conventional leaf patterns, solid
effects and modernistic motifs. Those
for evening wear are made on a white
gold or aluminum base with crystals,
rhinestone or colored stone settings.
These are made with the thought of
matching the shoe color, or to lend a
touch of brightness.
Sunburn Powder Is Not
Given Warmest Welcome
That sunburn powder vogue Paris
sent over here has been duly noted,
sniffed at and shelved. That is, by
some women who realize tlie absurdity
of walking around looking “sun
burned” and yellow faced—for no rea
son at all. This fad may go well dur
ing tlie beach season and serve those
who do not wear well under tlie light
of tlie real sun, but absolutely no—
not a chance has this dark com
plexioned vogue got in a big city!
Paris has also made a little plea
for longer skirts. Here, too. tlie
American woman prefers to decide for
herself.
Separate Blouse, Skirt
in Personality Costumes
So enthusiastic has fashion become
over the possibilities for individuality
in the separate blouse and skirt in
tlie assembling of personality cos
tumes that shops have instituted de
partments wherein these are to be
found in innumerable styles and col
ors. This allows the imagination free
play in forming a two-piece frock to
express one’s own color taste. Quite
frequently two plain shades are allied
in blouse and skirt with surprisingly
smart effect.
