Press Fashion Editor

PARIS. Oct. "a. Rj-Stripes have
laid a brilliant mark on the fashion
tableau OF the fall and winter.
While the background OF the style
picture Is woven Of monotone weaves
many a highlight is given by stripes
OF gay hue.
Striped wool scarves. blouses and
frocks and striped silk vests a bit
more sober IL tone are all used 70
add a bright note to the ensemble
Even the one color fabrics reflect
the striped note in ribbed and dag
onal weayes
There are striped sports frocks Of
wood-brown and beige, tobacco
brown and tomato-red, navy-biue
and pale-blue often made on the
diagonal.
Black wool street frocks with a
thread Of white or emerald green
running through the fabric are an
other variation Of the mode.
Most Of these are simple designed
with semi-fitted bodices and close
fitting skirts releasing their fullness
near the kneeline.
They are finished with a leather
belt and leather nosegay rejecting
one color of the two-toned fabric.
The striped vests and blouses
which accompany sports and street
suits are as jaunty as a sailors cap.

Valley Girls To Take Part
In Youths Golden Jubilee

ent and learn about he organiza-
ton, Miss Allen says.
FriendlinesS IS one OF the out
standing features OF the organiZa-
ton, she declared. Timid, lonely
girls are 10 be found III every
school and these are assisted III
making friends with the result that
most OF them continue IN school
and graduate. IL teaches them
things thy <nnot get In church
or school, she said.
Crude girls take on the marks OF
refinement and leadership Is dis
covered and developed. Miss Allen
pointed out.
One Of the finest things about
the Valley organization D the fact
that the girls meet in ~intercluh
gatherings at frequent intervals az
the Y. w. @. "A. camp at Rio Hondo
Campo del Arroyo where they
enjoy real conference periods wor-
shipping together and having con-
structive play.
There are l.065 girls in the VAL
ley clubs and Brownsville has a
number Of these local organiZa-
tons. There arc four Blue Triangle
clubs IN the junior high school
there, a large n in ne senior high
school and an outstanding college
club. A number OF other Valley
schools are strongly supporting the
Girl Reserve movement.
The organization got its start IN
1881 when IL began working with
girls IN the teen age and has con-
tinued its growth until it is one
OF the worlds outstanding girls
organizations.
