<~IPI PII~ R ~ IN IT, pMdNrH As ad
WASHINGTON FASHIONS By Wilma La vile

To quote from the spring
prohecies Of one Of our lead
ing fashion magazines: Prints
for day win be very dark, with
tiny all-over patterns or small
flower designs, sometimes in mo-
notonouS effects and often on
dull backgrounds: or they will
be light with rather large, indis-
tinct flower designs" Such q
summing is true, but 1t doesn't
go far enough, perhaps because
it had to be written a month or
so ago, before the designs had
developed enough for us to be
sure what they would be like.
There's one type of design that
isn't mentioned at all, and that
is the shadow print. It is des-
tined to popularity for several
reasons, the first Of which is
that smart manufacturers and
smart women are already spon-
soring 1t.
Designs With Snap
Shadow prints are strangely
nameG, for they are distinct
and clear cut, but are delicate
and far-spaced. They look like
the tracery Of the first vines
that bud in the spring, or Of al
most bare branches Of a tree.
The print is delicate in pattern,
and usually done in white on a
dark ground. The effect is
beautiful, and is smart, too.
Prints of this type have much
life and snap to them, adapt
themselves well to many ways
Of making. and are good for
people Of all ages and sizes. be-
cause they are too delicately
drawn to increase the size OF
even a large woman who might
choose to wear them. Favorite
ground colors are black, navy,
gray and beige. Gray prints
are newly and suddenly smart.
Taffeta for Chic
We've sketched two dresses in
shadow prints. Both have the
very new trimming Of white tafs
feta, which is equally good
when it makes a big bow and
when it makes a collar or other
type of a finish for the neck
line. The dress with a taffeta
DOW has a green suede belt and
green buttons, and is a very
smart, youthful style. The other
dress has the popular high neck
line with regular wide jabot ef-
fects of taffeta. The sleeves
are puffed, and the belt is Of
black suede. These dresses are
good to wear under your coat
now, and will look springy with
out q coat later on.

Then Mrs. Farrell caught a
little cold. She insisted that
it was a bad attack Of hay
fever and announced, after see
ing DR.. Thatcher, that she
needed a change Of air.
"I thought first Of going
down to Garrettsville for a few
weeks" Mary Faith heard her
tell Kim. But I decided that
the dust in the country roads
and the hay fields would be

Lucy Starke was Mrs. Far

Faith had never seen her, but
she had sent a handmade dress

the note, Mary Faith felt that
she knew Lucy. Such neat,
cramped handwriting could be-

life was calm and well-ordered.
She knew that Cousin Lucy
lived alone. and she pictured
her as occupying small house
on a side street. She wondered,

which holds.
The Spendthfift is as power
less to hold money as a sieve
to hold water. The process Of
get-and-get--id-of is automatic
with both. Everyone's money
gets away from your born
spender-his own, his wife's,
friends relatives, in-laws'.
Everyone from whom he can
borrow or beg kisses his cash
good-by when he confides 1t
to the Spendthrift. :
IntensiOns Are Good.
No one knows what becomes
Of these sums, least Of all the
Spendthrift, himself. His in
tentions were so good. so
honorable! In his golden
dreams, millions, Like prosper
ity, were waiting just around
the corner. Both have been
equally invisible.
Like the gambler at Monte
Carlo, the money-waster'S head
is full of systems to beat the
bank-the great world bank.
These schemes are failure-proof,
disappointment-p roof, fool
proof, he tells you-but the
sand in the machinery is that
they're never Spendthrift-proof.
Meanwhile, he who is the
worlds prize ubble-blower sits
at his favorite occupation. Out
of nothing he can recreate a
universe, fill it with lovely, iri-
descent bubbles which grow and
grow, getting more and more
beautiful-till they burst!
But he keeps right on. Your
born Spendthrift has the per-
severance of a spider. He Is
the original "if at first you
don't succeed, try, try again"
man. And for some equally
mysterious reason he never
seems to lack the money to
keep right On trying.
A cynically observing world
say disparaging things of his
wife for putting up with such
futility. Perhaps the reason
this trusting, drudging soul
sticks to him, in spite of every
thing, is that the Spendthrift
never really grows up. He is
the eternal Peter Pan.
Does he appeal to that
strongest Of womar's instincts
the maternal? Does she
know him for what he is-a
foolish visionary child who
clings to her, after her other
children have gone out into
the world?
Days of Reckoning
Your born Spendthrift never
remembers that there are to-
morrows and tomorrowS and
Curiously these days of reckon
ing dawn more often for his
victims than they do for him.
BY some unexplained law Of
nature he is able to keep up
his borrowing and juggling un-
til the end. He dies in COM
fort, and frequently in an odor
Of Sanctity.
I have known Spendthrift
to be maintained in comfort
by four generations Of his
family. His mother, an excel
lent pianist, played and taught
to maintain her waster as a
prince. His wife Eext took
up the battle to maintain her
lord in the state to which he
was accustomed. A daughter
followed suit, then a grand
daughter.
All loved and honored the
old Spendthrift, gave him their
earnings, kept him in luxury.

and loved him.
What quality do the gods

yet they are arrayed by the
toll of other hands-and loved
into the bargain.

Old Earth lies, rapt and still.
