NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-Nobody
~ can say she can't wear this
springs dressesI Because with all
the variety there is in silhouette,
there isn't any type figure that
won't look well in something that's
fashionable.
BY silhouette, Of course, we
mean the outline or shadow the
dress makes when it's on. For ex-
ample-look at the sketches and
you can see that the outline Of The
skirt on the dress at the left is
quite different from that on the
dress in the center.
The silhouette of the dress at
the left flares out at the sides. The
one in the center is straight. And
they're both different from the
silhoutte Of the dress at the right,
which is straight in the skirt, but
widened at the hips.
You've been seeing dresses for two
or three seasons that flare like the
one at the left. The bell silhouette,
it's called. Still fashionable, be-
cause so many women, find it so be-
coming.
The very straightline silhouette
in the center is newer. The full
ness has been dropped out of the
sides and put in the middle of the
front, so it doesn't bell out like the
other.
The third silhouette is one you've
seen before, too. But this last win
ter, the tunic or peplurn section
was usually longer and not quite
as f1ared.
The bell silhouette is one that

the French designer, Vionnet, uses
lot. 1t has graceful sweep OF
line that's becoming to the average
or slender figure.
But the side fullness isn't quite
as becoming to the full figure as a
straighter line skirt-because 1t
makes her look wider.
AS we explained, by Silhouette
is meant only the outline of the
dress. So you'll find dresses that
have this bell silhouette, but that
have very different details from the
dress sketched.
Many will have cowl necklines
because the draping Of the cowl
neckline goes particularly well with
this skirt.
They may have short or three
quarter sleeves instead of long ones
as sketched. They don't have to
have the one-sided cape effect
and they might have a cape over
both shoulders.
The important thing is that
dresses with the bell silhouette will
have the skirt fullnesS placed SO
they bell out at the sides.
The center sketch, or straight
line silhouette, shows the type dress
used SO often by Jean Patou.
In this, too, you'll find infinite
variety of detail. In the sketch,
for instance, the pleats are stitched
down to within a few inches Of the
bottom.
Lots of straightline dresses will
have pleatS released much higher
up than this. Some won't have

And they'll have all sorts OF dit
ferent necklines and bodice and

This type dress is easy for al
most any figure to wear. It's bet
ter for the heavy or short figure
than the dress with side fullneSs,
as the straight lines give height
instead of width.

one for the slim figure-eSpe-
cialy the figure that's maybe q
bit too slim through the hips. II

Home Made
Stunning by
Nez0 Effects
BY JULIA BLANSHARD
NEA Service Writer

NEW YORK, Feb. 24.---Interior
decoration schemes, like new spring
clothes. are making use Of con-
trasts in materials, contrasts in
color, contrasts in different periods
of furniture, to effect stunning re-
suits.
If you have good taste, certainly
with such lirnitless opportunities for
individuality you can achieve rooms
devastatingly lovely in color and
material combinations.
If you haven't good taste, and
know it. you will go slow on trying
% create an over amount of con-
trast in color or in types Of furni-
ture. For d quiet room that is not
quite right is far less trying than
a noticeably not-quite-right gaudy
one.
Chance TO Be different"
There is something challenging
about this new wide range of choice
allowed one in rooms. You can
start out with a piece or two Of
modern furniture, combine them
with a comfortable antique up
holstered bed and a very Frenchy,
feminine type Of curtain.
Even your wall paper can be some
thing different from what one might
expect.
French Provincial furniture and
modern are used together in some
rooms, a bit Of early American and
a decorative touch of Louis XIV.
And the more you manage to COM
bine plain and figured materials in
a given room, the more you select
home-spun for this, a pretty touch
Of quilted silk for that, the richer
your ensemble.
Start With Bedroom
A good place to begin experiment
ing with a lot Of new materials and
a few new pieces of furniture, is
your own bedroom. You know more
what you want in this room than
any other room in the house. You
know what colors you would like,
what would make you cheerful and
rested.
Quite in excellent example to go
by Is room that uses a most mod
ern dressing table and chair. with
several quite diqerent types of
things.
The dressing table, with it's crystal
lighting and long, comfortable
mirror, is made of contrasting
woods, with handy drawers on both
sides and one big drawer below the
mirror.
The chair, with it's Colds, brown;
and rose upholstery, looks comfort
able enough to make any one want
to doze Immediately
Quilted Design Carried Out
The old-fashioned studio couch
is covered with the most delectable
quilted silk cover, in the rose tone
that is softest and most appealing
with browns and tan.
The little stool for the dressing
table is covered in the same quilted
design.
For curtains, one Of the new
rayon prints is used, in a beautiful
blue tone deep enough to go with
tans and brown and light enough to
make the rose in the room look
better.
These curtains have a patterned
design not unlike the quilting de-
sign of the couch cover, though it is
not the same design at all.
All this richness is used in a room
that has one Of the new diagonally
striped metal papers, this one a tan
gold that has a ccziness about it
shat makes it perfect for so intimate
a room as a bedroom.

MORE ILLS, LAID
To WEATHER

BALTIMORE, Oct. 22.-The in
crease Of communicable diseases
in Maryland during the last nine
months is blamed largely on the
weather by DR.. Robert H. Riley,
director Of the State Department
of Health.
According to DR.. Riley, cases
Of communicable diseases for the
first nine months Of this year
were more than double the num-
ber reported for the correspond
ing period in 1880. DR.. Riley cites
the long heat wave, the periods
of great humidity and sudden
storms.
Between January and Sep
tember 80 there were 56,726 cases
Of communicable diseases, as COM
pared with 25,077 for the same
period last year.
From June to the end Of Sep
tember there were 1880 cases
reported, as compared with 1885
for the same four months Of
1890, and 8.81S for the same
period of 1929, DR.. Riley said.
Whooping cough has showed
q marked increase from month
to month this year, 1,757 cases
being reported during the last
four months, as compared with
IS cases for 1880. .
