Washington Fashions
By Wilma LaVille

Everybody knew that pastels
would be the leading colors this
summer, except for white, which
has been the best single "color"
for two or three summers. But
we have, most of us. been a
little fooled about which pastel
would be the best. Earlier in
the season people were banking
on blue, because blue in darker
shades has been so good, and
still is. Then pink came in
for lots of attention. which it
deserves, and it too is still ex-
cellent. But yellow turned out
to be the dark horse that came
forward with a rush when peo-
pie really began to wear sum-
mer clothes, and now seems to
be the most popular of them
all.
Clear PasteIS Best
Just plain pastel yellow is the
good shade, sometimes lightened
into a paler lemon, and some
times darkened until it is rather
intense, but usually seen in a
moderate, clear shade. It is
worn mostly for daytime, in
simple chalk crepes or cottons,
and it is lovely in either. You
will see an occasional yellow
coat too, smart and unusual.
1t is equally good for evening,
in soft chiffons, crisp dotted
nets or point d'esprit. or Subtly
blended in a print. And it is
a favorite again for sports.
making tennis or golf dresses,
and knitted into the new novel
knit bathing suits. It combines
smartly with brown, but is
equally good with black or
navy. Perhaps that's the secret
of its success.
A Versatile FrOck
We picked out yellow dress
for sketching today, though Of
course it may be had in other
paStels too. It is of chalk
crepe, and the tiny line of
piping down the front and bor-
dering the capelet is of brown
crepe. The sash belt is of
brown crepe too, and may be
tied in number of ways. A
yellow and brown clip holds
the neckline drapery. Because
the cape effects cover the top
of the arm. tie lack Of sleeves

Advice to the
LoveIorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
He Doesn't Seem Serious

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Some months ago my work
brought me in contact with a
gentleman several years older
than I am. I fell madly in
love with him and we went
around together a great deal
and he seemed to care a lot
about me, although he never
told me so. Suddenly he
stopped calling on me and I
never heard from him for about
two months. Now he has been
calling on me again, but only
once a week. He seems atten-
tive to me, yet he never says
he likes me. He likes to run
around and have a good time,
while I am just the opposite
type, content to spend the eve
nings at home. Do you think
he cares about me, or would
it be better if / went out more?
I care a great deal for him.

clined to be serious and the
man is not. He is careful not
to commit himself and tell you
he likes you. If you're going to
let this affair gnaw your heart
and really make you suffer,
will it pay? Will you get
more happiness or unhappineSs
out Of it? That's the question.
If you could take your friend
ship with this man more lightly,
get the sweet instead of the
bitter, I'd advise you to keep
on. But if you're going to be
unhappy, what is there in 1t
for you with a man, who, from
what you tell me. is a good
deal of a Wanderer2

This and That

Make your own capelet this
summer entirely Of ribbon. An
attractive cape can be made
Of taffeta ribbon about eight
inches wide. The ribbon is
shirred at both edges and
sewn together so as to form
little ruchings. Heavier ruch-
ings at the upper and lower
edge are formed by narrower
ribbon of the same kind. The
cape is fastened with a bow
which is in one piece With the
top row Of ribbon.

The Rhymin8
Optimist
BY ALINE MICHAELIS
True Love

True Love
If you have loved for but
little time,
A few returns of roses and
of snow,
Think not your heart is torn
by wounds sublime,
Transfixed by darts from
rosy Eros bow.
For love, true love, is not a
nodding flower
Sun-touched and fragrant
for a summer day,
And not a flame which through
one breathleSs hour
OF fierceSt blazing burns
itself away.
True love is patient, like the
towering oak
That through the years
grows slowly, leaf by leaf:
Not overawed by grandeur'S
golden cloak.
Nor does it shrink from pow
erty and grief.
True love is gentle, kind and
very wise,
And sees life through the
loved ones eyes.

The Best Man

AAC OCSO NA0A
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I am to have the honor of
acting as best man for my
friends wedding. There is to
be a reception at the home of
the bride, and a theater party

best man to pay for the the

g rooms responsibility? Or
would it be proper to go
Dutch Treat?

If the best man wishes to give
this party, he may, but there is
no reason in the world why he
should be expected to give it.

End PLAY Problems

Inere is DuC one SOuuQ Opeu"
ing lead. The most common
error is an opening lead Of the
@ of hearts, following by a dia-
mond. The defense is for A to
discard his only club. on the
diamond lead; then ABB must
win three tricks.
The correct solution is for
rs Ace to overtake the opening
lead of Y's @ of hearts. Put A
in with rs 2 of clubs. A must
return a spade, giving Y two
tricks in that suit. B must dis
card before z. z keeps what
B discards, and B must be
squeezed.
When Y wins the first spade
trick, B and z hold the follow
ing cards:
B: 9-8 hearts; 8 clubs; o.
diamonds.
2: J-2 hearts; 8 clubs; A-10
diamonds.
If B discards a heart, rs
J-2 of hearts will win two
tricks, and his Ace of diamonds
must win the third trick re-
quired to give w their six
tricks. In case B discards his
last club, 2 must win one
heart, one club, and one dia-
mond trick. If B discards one
of his diamonds, rs J of heart
must win one trick, and his
two diamonds must win the
other two tricks required. In
no way can B prevent z from
winning the three tricks needed
for fulfillment Of the six tricks
that w are to win.
PROBLEM "a
The original Heard problem
given below was suggested by
a hand encountered in rubber
play. B had won one trick
and z had taken the second
trick. The II cards shown re-
manned.
Hearts are trumps. z is to
lead. w are to win of the
II tricks against the best play
of ABB. The solution will ap-
pear next week.

other this morning as they prepared to
go their ways after destroying the
breakfast fodder.
The boys who like to dope out fights
in advance can agree on only one poirt
in connection with this battle-that it
should be a free-hitting affair, with a
good chance that one or the other will
be flattened.
According to the dope book. Retzlaff
has stopped SO out of As opponents and
Gastanaga has stretched 81 out OF "a.
Every year AL WE'LL, Queensboro
matchmaker, brings out some new
cards. Last Summer he developed
RetZlaff and Hamas. So far this year
he has made New York fandom ac-
quainted with Lou BrouiIlard. AL fig
ures Gastanaga also is certain to click.
The Basque heavyweight made his
New York debut six weeks ago by out
pointing Hans Birkie at the Queens

laff he will be right up among the top
notchers, ready for the best the division

No one team in any of the three week
day leagues has been strong enough to
repeat a half-series triumph, with the
result that at least three play-offs are
carded, Two opened yesterday.
Dixie Pigs in the Industrial League
and Mount Vernon in the Georgetown

day, but the struggles put up by the
beaten Constructioneers and Eldbrooke

opponents to three scattered hits, Rus

mates on the bases to account for all
