THE ROCKDALE RECORD, Conyers, Ga„ Wed., April 3. 1929. 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. ((c). 19 29. Western Newspaper Union.) 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. Bottle Green Is Used for Chic Spring Wrap Showing a stylish spring wrap of bottle green, with a darker green pat tern outlined by beige. Shawl collar and muff cuffs are featured, while the close-fitting hat is of matching green, trimmed in beige. Beige slippers and hose complete the outfit. 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. DIDN’T HANDLE THEM I.ndy—Do you handle canaries ' here? Bird Fancier—No, ma’am—it ain’t good for their health. But we have I some for sale. THE INTERVIEW “Would you mind telling others how they too could live to such a ripe old j age?” “Not at all, daughter! Jes’ tell 'em not t’ die young.” CAUSE OF FIRE “It was a terrible fire —what caused It?” “Bad business.” KEEPING A COOL HEAD She —Why do you keep your hat off, Mr. Brown? The air is cold. He —Miss Maud, you know how pro foundly your presence affects me- I’m trying to keep a cool head. PLAYING MOUTH-ORGAN She —Oil, you kiss so wonderfull? you must be used to doing it. He —Oh, I’ve only been used to playing the mouth-organ, that’s all. FREEDOM’S CALL Bird —1 get plenty lo eat and <i l ink j and am well taken care of, but bow I envy that fellow outside!
