"Oh, Father!" the boy replied with

WHAT'S IN FASHION,
Jackets, Peplums on Dresses
Bu AMOS PARRISH

-Dtf CLDtW - y AA~iA W \ a AAN@S@h~~ -
lATEw YORK, March 25.-Pep-
IN lums and jackets. Two words
on most every fashionable ton
gue-two things on many fashion,
able flgures-this spring.
Why do so many spring dresses
have jackets and so many others
have peplums? For good reasons.
Dresses with matching jackets
are practical. They're double
duty" costumes-one costume with
the jacket on and another with it
off.
They're fine street dresses for
later warm weather. The jacket
gives them the same finished
look that a coat gives to a cos
tune. And this is especially I'M
portant if the dress happens to
have short sleeves, as so many new
spring dresses have.
Peplums can do lots Of inter
esting things to the figure-if
you have the figure to wear themi
And that means a slim or average
figure.
They make a nice balance with
the slight flare of skirt. A
short peplum makes the lower
part of the body look longer. It
can make the hips look wider and
the waistline correspondingly mar
rover.
And a peplum gives a dress the
two-piec look-that's a very fash
ionaole look for a spring dress to
| have.
It's for all these reasons that
you're going to see plenty of jacket
dresses and peplum dresses worn
on Easter. More than you've ever
seen before.

Just
Every
Day
Sense

7. B. PRIESTLEY, English nov
y elist, who stirred up such a
hornets nest with his criticism of
the United States, made one very
pertinent remark. 1t was this:
American women are the eff
cheney experts of charm. And I
am a little weary of being ex-
posed to charm. I should like a
dowdy woman who didn't care
whether I am entertained or not,
for a change"
I imagine a great many of our
men are beginning to feel that
way, too Notwithstanding the
fact that we constantly are adj
monished to cultivate charm, I
know of no more tiresome person
than the habitually charming
woman, she who makes a cult
of it.
And when we consider that all
this battery of feminine seduction
is aimed perpetually at the men,
we can understand that they
might become rather bored some
times with the destinations we are
supposed to radiate.
Il
NKTE need little more indie
. w pendence in our thinking
about men, cultivation of the
attitude Of II don't give a darn
whether you like me or not"
You must remember that our
entire education as women has
been based upon the idea that we
should please entertain and be-
witch the male. The fact that we
have moved from the parlor to
the office does not relieve us of
this necessity. 1t increases it.
The girl at work is under the
perpetual scrutiny of men and
must, therefore, be forever pleas
ing. The only halfway free per-
son in this respect these days is
the wife who at least can "cut
loose" and be herself once her
husband is out of the house.
And Lord, how grand it is to be
yourself, to behave naturally and
say what you please!
l believe, so long as we are we'll
hammered and have affable dis
positions, the men like us better
II we forget about fascinating
them. This charm business has
been overworked. AS we under
stand the term today, it is only
another name for repression.

Jackets that hang loose from the

Some Of them seem to fasten, a;

The two dresses we've had
sketched illustrate another i'm
portant spring fashion note, as
well as jackets and peplums.
Know what it is? Color contrast.
The jacket costume at the top
looks like a skirt, blouse, and
jacket, doesn't it? But it isn't.
The skirt and jacket are a dark
ground with light dot; the bodice
section light ground with dark
dot. And that's what gives it
the skirt and blouse look.
Notice the three-quarter sleeves
new and fashionable-and how
effective it is when the different
colored dress sleeves extend be-
low.
The peplum dress gets its color
contract from its vestee and
sleeve frill of narrow bands of
lace. (And that lingerie touch is
another good spring fashion to re-
member.)
