Washington dshjoos
By WILMA LAVILLE

Prints worn in the evening
have entirely changed in char
acter during the past two or
three seasons. It was printed
chiffons for so many years that
we thought they would go on
forever. Then, last year, printed
flat crepes were introduced, but
didn't replace chiffons. This
season they were brought in
again for resort wear. looking
very new and smart, and they
threaten to replace chiffon
prints to a large extent for eve
ming wear from now on.
CrepeS Need Weight
There's more weight, more
body to flat crepe than there
is to chiffon, so that it is
better suited to present-day
fashions. If there is drapery,
a heavier crepe will conform
better. If the skirt should be
narrow and long, as most of
them are these days, it will
hang straighter for its extra
weight.
Chiffon is almost too supple
and pliable, though many of
the heavy sheers are just as
good as flat crepe and, there
fore, will receive their just due
of favor, though we find them
in plain colors more than we
do in prints. Patterns have
changed, too. Grounds are
usually darker, sometimes in
pastels or subdued shades of
the rather vivid colors, such as
red, blue, and green's, and then
you may find a print on black,
navy, or brown ground. Beige
should be a favorite in prints,
too, as it is coming back for
spring in the daytime range.
Designs are usually rather large
and splashy and spaced widely
in these evening prints, and.
more often than not, colors are
subtle, but not greatly mixed.
Again Red and White
Newness of pattern, material
and line distinguish the dress
that we have had sketched to-
day. 1t is a deep cherry tone
with the print in white, an ef-
fective big flower design that
looks like it might have been
hand-blocked. The cowl front,
high back and tiny caps. over
the shoulders make it an infor-
NAL frock, but formal enough
for summer evenings. and for
dinner and theater now. It is
the correct ankle length. is Of

Stanton Park Association on
Record Against Pro-

Proposed legislation to bar the pro-

the filing of vacancies In the Federal
service was opposed vigorously last
night by the Stanton Park Citizens As
sociation. meeting In the Peabody
School
The secretary, Mrs. Luther H. Brown,
was instructed to communicate the at
titude Of the association to the chair
man of the District Committees OF
both House ard Senate and the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations.
The opinion was expressed at the
meeting that 1t was inconsistent for
the Federal Government to urge pri-
vate employers to give work to the un-
employed and at the same time refuse
to fill vacancies in its own service.
Many employees of the Government
1t was said, have served for many years
without due recognition and any leglS-
lation preventing their promotion at
this time would be unjust.
The association went on record as
opposed to the bill In the House which
would reduce the penalty here fol
murder from death to life imprison-
ment.
The citizens indorsed the Thatcher
House bill which would make kidnap-
ing an offense punishable by either
life imprisonment or death.
