Pickens Does Slugging

Instrumental in originating
a charity game for Washing
ton after all efforts had failed
to get the four local major
colleges to arrange tourna-
lent among themselves, Pick
ems, portly, Southern gentle
man of around middle age, has
plugged this game in every Sec
tor Of Washington until he has
worn out ten pairs of shoes.
Somehow or another, after
this game is over and the
teams have laid their toggery
in the cedar chests for an
other nine months. we shall
miss the almost daily calls Of
Professor Pickens, bringing It'd
ings of the day-by-day develop
ments to the game.
He is no body to come empty
handed either. Those times he
didn't have a piece of news, he
had roasted chestnutS or per-
haps a hand full of pecanS
from his native Alabama. And
in the absence of either of
those commodities, it was a big
fat cigar for teacher.
LeastwayS, he always seemed
to be plodding along in his
effort to make this game to-
morrow success, and judging
from the advance sale of some
thing over $4,000 all that is re-
quired to cap his efforts with
success is a fair break in the
weather.

ARGUE.
FREAK PIN
INCIDENT

The Eastern Star pinettes are
wrinkling their brows over a
puzzler these days.
In a match between Joppa and
Brookland at the Lucky Strike
alleys early this week, Dorsey, a
member of the Joppa team, acci-
dentally dropped a ball, while
taking it off the rack. and did
not recover it until it had rolled
beyond the foul line.
It was her third ball of the
frame, and, after she had re-
covered it, she rolled it and scored
enough pins to win the game by
three pins, 460 to 457, it later
developed.

Lace Names

Almost all laces derived their
names from the place where they
were first made. Almost every
French town developed some par
ticular technique in lace making
just as il did i'm cooking-the re-
suit Of years OF patient work and
experimentation on the part Of
the women who made lace in the
time spared from the usual round
or Homework. Thus we have vari-
cites Of lace named from Alencon.
Argentan. Bayeaux and Valen-
ciennes. Carrickmacross lace
takes its name from "A town IN
Ireland. Brussels. Bruges. Mech
lace originally were the pro-
duct OF localities In Belgium.
lace Ii named for an
English town. Nottingham In Eng
and Chantilly ia France
their names To machine
made laces OF a sort first made
In those towns.

Gives Bright Tone TO
New Fashions.

revival OF Second
Empire and Victorian
fashions has brought about a
revived interest in quaint old
fashioned ~jewelry, and neck
laces. bracelets. earrings and
brooches Of the sort your
grandmother wore are very
much the thing at present.
Among the definitely mod
ern-}ewelry there are neck
laces and bracelets made Of
aluminium beads, and some
times aluminium IS combined
with rosewood and other
precious woods. Rosewood
bracelets are chosen to wear
with the brown afternoon
dress. and some Of the new
leather or fabric belts are fin
ished with wooden buckles.
Purple has come back in the
wake OF the Eugene fashions.
There II a lovely soft purple
chosen for some OF the most at
tractive new velvet dresses for
formal afternoon or evening wear.
Then there is a new bright blue,
a little lighter than royal. also a
good color for the formal velvet
dress.

Simplicity
Is Keynote
For Girls
New Mode Interpreted
With Special Changes
for Schoolgirl = Her
Clothes Are Smart But
Not Pussy.

DUYING clothes for the
ID schoolgirl this autumn
presents new possibilities
and new difficulties. The new
style developments have
brought about a wider variety
of fashions from which TO
choose, with dresses, hats and
wraps that are often very be-
coming to the young girl. But
on the other hand, with
clothes that are less simple,
there is a greater chance now
of going wrong in making the
selections. And one must dis
criminate between the new
more feminine fashions that
are appropriate for the young
girl and those that are not.
There is OF necessity a wider
divergence now between fashions
for younger girls and those suit
able for adults, simply because
women's fashions have become
nor complicated. With the pass
ing Of the very short skirt for
women the question OF skirt
lengths for the younger girl has
to be given more serious thought.
The pincheC-in waistline and
more elaborate sleeves are other
new fashion developments that
must be interpreted specially for
the younger girl. The more elab-
crate and more picturesque adult
fashions become. the greater care
must be taken to keep clothes for
the schoolgirl appropriately sim
pie and practical.
For the younger schoolgirl
skirts remain as short as ever,
and that means very short. The
girl OF eight or nine still wears
them short enough TO show her
knees. but as she grows taller
and usually a little more slender
they are gradually Heightened
until in the early teens they are
three or four Inches below the
knees.
For the very little girl waist
lines are usually ignored entirely
and dresses are made with a short
yoke or hang straight from the
shoulders. If a belt is used at
all IL Is usually placed at a
slightly lower than normal line
and this slightly lower waistline
Is usually retained until a girl Is
eight OIL nine or even older.
Dresses. suits and coats for the
older schoolgirl are usually belted
at the normal waistline but really
tght-ftting dresses are out OF
place In the schoolgirls wardrobe.
Sleeves for the schoolgirl may
reflect the new fashions but must
remain quite simple. Puffs and
f~urbelows ire out OF place in the
school room. For the first days
Of school sleeveless dresses and
very short sleeves are permissible
but with autumn days simple long
sleeves or three-quarter sleeves
are chosen.
Millinery for the schoolgirl
should reflect the new fashions al
a safe distance. Feather-trimmed
Eugene hats are entirely out OF
place in the school wardrobe.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1931-09-08

Green Is chosen for every hour
Of the day. Forest green. botary
green and Patol green are
chosen for daytime and a soft cool
green for late afternoon or eve
ming. Spanish tile Is the name OF
the reddish brown that is one of
the accepted colors for sports and
daytime clothes. Valencia red
and cherry brandy are two other
smart colors that you should learn
10 recognize.

Fabrics Of
Wash Sort
For Young
Plain Finish And Neat
Finish Are Essential for
Them - Sleeves Are
More Convenient n
Short.

WASHABLE materials
w should be chosen for
the clothes OF the younger
children at school, and. save
for very cold weather, cottons
are usually the best choice.
Among the heavier cotton
materials suitable for younger
children are jean, madras.
poplin, broadcloth, pique,
drill, galatea; while for
blouscs the best materials are
Bingham. percale, cotton pom
gee and broadcloth. Cotton
tweed IS a new material that
u appropriate for school
dresses for the younger as
we'll a. the older schoolgirl.
Wooden materials always de-
mand more attention I'm the laun-
dry than cottons. but there are
several wooden materials that
have advantages In this respect.
Printed and plain challis, for In
stance. shows no bad effects from
washing. though II usually shrinks
a little. Good quality serge and
fiannel may also be washed with
out injury. Though or course X
must be washed In luke warm. not
hot. water and must be carefully
dried and pressed.
Clothes chosen for your chill
dren may very definitely affect
their health. happiness and pro-
gress In school. Defective posture
OF school children has often been
traced to clothes that were either
too large or too small. too heavy
or otherwise unsuitable. Neck
bands and collars that are too
high at the back may get the child
into the habit OF thrusting his
head forward. Tight armholes. or
sleeves that are too tight or too
short. may result I'm an unnatural
posture or the back and shoulders.
Clothes for young children cspe-
cially should always be roomy
enough sor perfect ease and com
fort. In order TO give them the
trim appearance you desire you
may make them fairly short. only
be sur that they are roomy
enough through the body.
For young children sleeveless
dresses and suits have "a decided
advantage in warm weather. In
cooler weather elbow sleeves are
usually adequate and they have
decided advantage over long
sleeved clothes. For one thing
the short sleeve permits freedom
OF movement. Besides. the short
sleeve ~ not NO quickly outgrown.
because whether II comes 10 the
elbow or an inch or so above
makes no difference. For another
advantage. short-sleeved suits and
dresses are not 20 easily soiled
uctducC tuc iDWtf part Oh the
sleeve and cuff are often soiled
before the rest or the garment.
Still another advantage on the
short-sleeved suit or dress lies I'm
the fact that II leaves the lower
arms bare when little hands must
be washed.
In choosing suits and dresses
for younger children pay strict
heed 20 the neck finish. The col
lar line should be low enough to
permit perfect freedom but should
be high enough To cover the neck
line OF the underclothes. Rolling
or rundown collars should be
avoided. because they add TO CON-
plications in washing and ironing.
Simulated collars made BY
stitched down bands OF the ma
terial are ever so much simpler
and just AZ effective.

Skirt. Blouse

A practical investment for the
older schoolgirl consists OF a dark
wool skirt of brown. dark green
or Spanish tile. with two practical
blouses. one OF white jersey and
the other Of beige lightweight
wool. Both blouses are made in
over-blouse style with narrow
belts.

Ermine trimming Is used on the
new velvet dresses. Just a mar
row band Of ermine may appear
at the neckline OF the formal
afternoon dress. and while this is
sometimes the imitation sort
with a rabbit origin-real ermine
is chosen by the woman who can

Many fabrics bear the name OF
the locality where they were first
made. though we have long lost
sight OF this fact as we usually
use the words. Thus. Calico de-
rived its name from Calicut. a
town in India. where il was first
made Damask was first made In
Damascus. and Cambria in Cam
bria. France. Gauze II said To
have been named for the city of

Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1931-09-08

Doiman sleeves and raglan
sleeves are often mentioned in
connection with the new fas MONS.
The dolman sleeve is cut with a
slightly dropped armhole 50 as
TO give the effect Of slight: full
ness across the top or the bodice
The raglan sleeve Is made with
a diagonal line at the top nf the
armhole SO that n sleeve IS IN
serted in the shoulder nearly IL
not quite to the neckline.
The new Eugene sleepe II
made close fitting from the
wrist almost to the elbow. Then
comes a generous but not exag-
gerated pun extending nearly to
the shoulder where the sleeve Il
set in raglan fashion in a dia-
gOnal line TO the neckline.
Furlined coats will be as smart
as all-fur coats during tire au-
tumn and winter and mary wo-
men Will prefer this type On coat
TO any other. The new vpolens
chosen for these fur-lined coats
are best described as spongy. The
fr- lining. which provides ade-
quate warmth for coolest wea-
tner. - made with deep collars
and usually with generous Guns
Of fur as well. For this purpose
the smartest furs are the follow
ing: badger. blended cross fox,
sitka FOX, red fox. kit fox, beaver.
skunk, mountain sabre, Persian
lamb. kolinsky. caracul. wdlf, rae
coon and skunk. Quite q gen.
