Banning War

GERMANY is prohibited by the allies
VI against building up any airplane or
dirigible forces that could be used for
war.
Can it be done? Returned travellers
from Germany assert that thousands of
autos over there have been equipped with
powerful new motors that could be lifted
out and attached to airplanes in few
minutes. Any German military comeback
in the next decade would probably be by
air. France, sensing this, builds battle
planes by thousands.

Jersey Retains Favor;
Now Rival of Cashmere

In knitted outerwear the eomblna.
ton of woven and knitted fabrics Is
becoming more and more marked,
some Of the smart fabrics used being
kasha, plaid and striped flannels,
ribbed silks and leather.
Jersey Is assuming a place of in
creasing Importance. and in some sec
lions is fast becoming a rival of the
cashmere weaves. This is, very
closely knitted texture that suggests
woven fabric.
The two-piece dress adopted from
Chanel is smartly carried out in
knitted wear, the front fullness, era

carefully reproduced Even the rcdin-

ted fabric and does not seem in the
least out of place. Sleeveless dresses
are increasing in Importance, especial

Pink Is Favorite Color
for Dainty Dance Frock

At the moment there is no more
fashionable or popular color than pink
in any one of its varied tones. from
the delicate tint like the flush Of an
apple blossom to that deep intense
color seen In the afterglow Of an Al
pine sunset. In between, there are
any number Of lovely shades. and
when several are put together the eff.
feet Is even smarter and more becom-
ing.
One Of the loveliest dance frocks is
of pale pink ribbon with touches of
silver ribbon on the full wide skirt
and bit of dark blue for contrast In
the flower placed to emphasize the
long waist line of the tight little
bodice.
Another Is Of tulle layers, shading
from pale pink to the deep fuchsia
tone. There is petticoat of silver
lace and a narrow edge Of lace on the
under slip Of pink satin chiffon. Taf-
feta ribbon in deep fuchsia tone
is used for the sash.

They Get Their Names

And did you know that shawls first

Bandanna is from the Indian word
oandanna, meaning to bind or tie. You
see, the cloth is tied into knots when
dipped into the dye, and this Is what
gives the clouded effect seen in the
original bandanna handkerchief.
Foulard was originally made for

French for silk handkerchiefs."

Tweed, that familiar, rough. unfin-

~ made of yarns Of two or more
shades. is so called because II was
originally the product of weavers on
