ALL the gay spring clothes

Some of them are worn by win

Certainly the curtains many
good rooms are wearing right

things. They're so fresh and
crisp ana gay, and they make
your windows so cheerful and
friendly.
Fashionable bedrooms like
best ruffled criSScroSS or tie-back
curtains. And the favorite ma
terial is figured marquisette.
Dots Important
Among the many kinds OF fig
ures, small dots lead in curtain
fashion check-up, though many,
many folks consider smarter the
dot the size Of a quarter.
Colored dots on white, colored
dots on color, or white dots on

number of small conventional
figures for you to choose from.

Tailored Curtains
Straight tailored bedroom

NEW. DRESSES
FOR EVERY
WOMAN
Stores Are Meeting the
Situation, Expert
Declares
By WILMA LA VILE

A1GGkG y q BAC01 AAuC 0AAA
= cry throughout the land
from women who say they can
not wear the new dresses. And
some of them have very trying
experiences in buying them.
But there are dresses for every
woman, details that make them
becoming. It's Just matter of
finding the right dress, and
Washington stores are meeting
the need nobly.
First of all, II you're size SO
or larger, choose a dress with
fulneSs in the front of the bo-
dice, let in at the shoulder seam
in tiny tuckS or gathers. Not
much fulneSS, but enough to
keep the dress from drawing
over the bust. Then choose a
v or surplice neckline rather
than round or square effect.
There are now collar treatments
that are extremely becoming, the
narrow fichu, lingerie collars
or binding about the Surplice
closing, or jabotS, all contribu-
ting to SlendernesS, If they are
right.
Many of the new dresses are
wrap-around or coat styles, with
surplice closing and adjustable
hipline, all of which are be-
coming and easy to wear. Others
have the higher waistline and
fitted hips, but in a modified
version that is easy to wear,
and not extreme or trying. II
belts are hard for you to wear,
don't try to wear them, for it
is more important to be taste
fully dressed than to have on
fashions latest whim.
The peplum is a boon to the
larger woman, as If it flares
slightly, it gives the appearance
of SlenderneSS below. It is also
a good balance for the woman
with large bust and small hips.
PleatS are newer than cores
and godets, and pleats ar
ranged in groups are very
slenderizing. So choose them
whenever you can. They ap-
pear on many of the new
dresses. CapeS are also good.
provided they are long enough.
and cover Just the back or
shoulders. not the front Of the
dress.
Plain colors and prints in
small patterns or all-over ef-
fects are equally good for
larger women. The smarteSt
prints for daytime are small, a
fashion which is gracious to the
wearer. Colors are best when
they are dark. or in tones that
do not add size.
We saw a lovely jacket frock
of Patou'S carnation print, the
ground in black with dusty
pink flowers, smart, flattering,
and youthful. as well as a
dress that that will not add size.
We are Sketching a peplum
dress with pleats and a jabot
effect that will be very becom-
ing to nearly any woman. The
printed afternoon dress has
small dots about the hips, max
ing for a slim effect, and larger
dots in other parts Of the gown.
The plain-color gown is of
gray silk crepe, with Surplice
closing and adjustable hipline.

ticles or about fashion If you

Representative RuthP Pratt
To Announce Candidacy
For Reelection.

The LADY from New

Baker Pratt, will be the
guest of honor at a dinner
at. the Hotel Astor, New
York, on April 81, given
under the auspices Of the
Republican organizations Of
the seventeenth congress
sional district.
The dinner will mark the
opening Of Mrs. Pratt's cam
paign for reelection. Mrs.
Pratt has been in New York
but returned to Washington
this morning.
Member Of 400"
Born of a distinguished
Knickerbocker family Mrs.
Pratt is one of the Seventy
first Congress- millionaire
members. Representative Ruth
Hanna Mccormick. whose Sena.
torial ambitions will be decided
in the Illinois Republican pri-
marines = today, is another.
The New York congreSSwoman
comes from the fashionable
New York uptown" districts
where her supporters are not
only her friends, members OF
the 400" but the ordinary
rank and file, Of the voters as
well.
she is no stranger to poll
tics. Before coming to Wash
ington she was a member OF
the New York City Board OF
Aldermen, the first woman to
serve.
Friends of Mrs. Pratt have
been agitating a scheme to
nominate her as Republican
candidate for mayor of New
York city. But the lady her
self was unwilling to pass up
Congress for the honor of the
nomination. Again it has been
suggested that she would make
q promising candidate for gov
ernor. The proposition has been
seriously considered by Repub-
lican leaders in New York.
It is said that she could poll
more votes than any other Re
publican man or woman. She
has the confidence Of President
Hoover and the party leaders
not only in her own State but
throughout the country.
Will Be Opposed
Apparently. however, Mrs.
Pratt has decided against both
propositions and the dinner on
April 21 will be her formal an
nouncement to the world that
she is again a candidate for
Congress.
Although her cohorts feel Get
tain that she can win, her op-
ponents are putting great hopes
IN their candidate, Frederick H.
Coudert, jr., also a member Of
the 400" and well known both
in New York and Washington.
Mr.. Coudert is a leader in the
anti-prohibition drive now on
in the G. o. p. ranks and threat
ems to make serious trouble for
Mrs. Pratt in the primaries.

But Percentage OF Games Won

led in any phase Of individual scoring.
Glenn Wolstenholme shot the greatest
number of strikes for King Pin, 18, yet
Red Morgan with %, and Brad Mandley,
Joe Harrison and billiard tied with
Wolstenholme.
Dutch Weidman's 148 was high game
for the champions. He was eclipsed by
no less than bowlerS with higher
games and tied by a pair. Bernie
Frye's 404 set, by IA pins better than
any rolled by teammate, was only
good for third place among high sets.
AS for individual spare making, Jack
Wolstenholme, always leader in this
department, and Bernie Frye, led the
District League champs each with II.
Brad Mandley Of Cornell's Lunch rolled
in two more games than they and
chalked up 70, while Hokie Smith of the
Blicks and Red McGaw of Temple,
made n apiece.
When 1t come down to the column
that wins championships, however, the
winning and losing Of games, the King
Pin team is right there. Canpbell's
crew averaged .791 to Rendezvous .667,
winning 10 and losing S to the runner
up teams record of 10 and 9.
The District League has two more
series to go and perhaps the King
Pins will do little leading outside Of
games won and lost, but the fact re-
mains that they've come home first
without individually or collectively
burning up the drives.
They got the marks when they needed
them, and that's what counts.
