JerseysDres
Dominates
Fashion
BY WILMA LA VILE

Following the trend toward
more and more woolen frockS,
this year promises to be an
other good season for jersey
dresses. Of course, we have had
them for years and years, but
they are more attractive than
usual because. of their clever
combinations of color and their
new lines that are most flatter-
ing.
Aside from their srnartness,
these new jerseys are better
from a practical standpoint
also. The manufacturers have
improved their methods, Of knit
ting, so that they are not as
stretchy as they used to he. II
you buy one Of fairly good
quality, you can depend, upon it
lasting as long as you want it
without Saggilg or fitting your
figure in that unfortunate man
ner that we sometimes associate
with Jersey.
We are Sketching two better
Jerseys from d Washington
store that are particularly
subtle in their combination of
colors and that recommend
themselves for many uses. The
frock with diagonal lines is in
brown and green. The skirt
fullness is cleverly put in
pleats, and the cutting fits the
blouse section in a gracious
and flattering manner. It's
the sort of dress you can just
wear and wear and depend on
for almost any informal day
time occasion. It will GO, ex.
ceptionally wen under brown
fur or sports coat.
The other pfrock is in. a
bright blue with trimmings of
blue and white combination.
It's belt recommends it, as it
may be adjusted to the figure.
and the pleating of the skirt
makes 1t easy to wear. This
frock would be particularly
good under a black coat or
under the fur coat. Both
trocks are moderately priced.
Miss LaVilIe will gladly an

Half Size Dresses
Of Silk Crepe, $13.75
Half size dresses are made to
fit women who are five feet
five or over, have. full hips, and
are supposed to be hard to fit.
They have larger arm holes,
wider hips, fuller busts and big
ger sleeve girth and are better
.proportioned through the skirt.
OF silk crepe in dark colorS and
new fashions. The workmanship
and the material are really good.
Good Looking Umbrellas
Are Most Acceptable, $2.95
This is a Fridays special.
That's why they are such good
bargains. Plaids, stripes or
plain color silk cover these
stumpy umbrellas. and they
have the most unusual and at
tractive handles. Some have
dog and parrot heads. Others
are composition in odd shapes.
In many colors and combina.
tions. It's wise to buy them now
for Christmas gifts.
HM Embroidered
Crepe Gowns, $1.95
Think Of getting a soft crepe
gown for this price especially
with hand embroidery. It is
very dainty with hand-drawn
touches, and is very attractive,
in paStelS.
Roll Your Own
Sports Hats, $2.75
It's smart now to buy a little
shapely hood Of a felt-like fab
ric that just fits the head.
Then you roll the brim into
any shape that's becoming to
you and you can vary it every
time you wear it. They come
in all good colors both bright
and dark.
