Washington Fashions
BY Wilma La Vile

Fashion authorities are all
talking about the influence Of
Queen Victoria on the fashions
of today. There are several
reasons why we should turn
back to this dignified lady for
inspiration. First of all, she
is probably the most self-con-
tained person we know of. To-
day, though women are free
and gay, they also like a de-
cided poise and dignity.
Ideas From VictOrianS
It is from the latter part of
Victoria's reign when Prince
Edward was setting fashions
that we take most Of our
ideas. They we're the gay COS
when society was beginning to
relax a bit and when people
were having a very good time
in spite of their dignity. So
just as the Victorian influence
on home decoration has re-
turned, so we bark back to the
COS for our clothes.
Are Popular Today
From this age we get three
fashions and they are very
prominent right now. They are
short jackets, plaids and prints,
and hats with shallow crowns.
If you look at a picture of
Queen Victoria you will see all
of them in their earlier form.
The frock we are Sketching to-
day illustrates the modern ver-
sion of two of them. This
frock is of a soft woolen with
plaid skirt and attractive short
jacket. It's extremely useful
for mid-season wear and may
be used for a suit later. It is
moderately priced.
Miss LaVilIe will gladly ans
wer any question about this
frock or about fashion If you
will call District $3.50, extension

addressed, stamped envelope.
