Jean Harlow Discusses Clothes

continued. Just look at me
now. This coy little ensemble
shouts comedy before the micro
phone has chance to pick up
a word I say. 1t helps a lot
in making a character con-
vincing."
White is my favorite," she
said Il feel more at ease in
white frock than in any other
color. 1 like sports wear be-
cause 1 like informality, also
because sports clothes are easy
to get into. There is one thing
l detest. and that is shopping"
All of which brings us around
to the fact that while Jean
Harlow has one of the smart
est personal wardrobes of any
star-she never chooses the
clothes herself. All of her
shopping is done by her mother,
and this includes such items as
shoes and hats.

Paris Openings

PARIS, Aug. 13.-New styles
shown in the worlds leading
fashion salons today marked the
end of sophistication for wo-
man, who must now appear very
demure, and even almost child.
like.
A hoped skirt and a bonnet,
like that of the Salvation Army
1assie, are typical creations. How
can a woman be sophisticated
when dressed in this way?
| Chanel displayed some close
fitting gowns in barely Shirred
taffeta, with tiny buttons run
ming down the center of the
bodice and bunched-up effects,
! with bows. at the back of the
skirt, as was the style in the
'70's.
! One model has rows Of small
bows down the back and the
front of the skirt.
| Schiaparelli has the Salvation
Army style bonnets, giving a
sugar cone effect, with tufts of
ostrich feathers at point that
give a naive effect. This "un-
touchable" appearance is fur
ther accentuated in evening
gowns with hoops placed below
/ the knees to billow out the
skirts.
! Four rows Of double ruching
! adorn the bottom of one of these
new gowns, whose wearer could
not enter taXicab without first
lifting her skirt.
Muffs shown by Schiaparelli
are of brown monkey fur.
Evening gowns often reaching
almost to the ground are in the
Chanel collection. Schiaparelli
shows them ankle-high in front
with just a small train behind.
National effects appear popu-
lar. Chanel shows bright
Scotch plaid dress with a little
Scotch cap of the same material.
Hats are mostly trimmed with
fur to match the coat and suit
trimming.

TIMES DAILY PATTERN
PATTERN 1913

Here is a practical idea which
is at the same time devastat-
ingly chic-it is, as you see,
an ensemble consisting of skirt,
blouse and jacket. Make it up
of black satin and wear it on
very hot days without the
jacket. The contrasting bodice
frill and collar are delight
fully fresh looking and be-
coming. When it is a bit
cooler the trim linked jacket
is stunning addition-and
with the first Autumn chill
the whole smart affair goes
with the best possible grace
under a top coat. OF course.
it would be a very nice thing
in wool as well.

also fallen to her lot in num-
Der of other recent pictures.

MarIene Sponsoring
New Russian STYLES

Marlene Dietrich is sponsoring
the current Russian tendency
in fashions. Often while lunch
ing at the Paramount Cafe she
wears white crepe pajamas with
a Russian Smock or tunic of
navy blue crepe. Wide stripes Of
white braid accent this smock
and a sash of the navy crepe
ties 1t in loosely at normal waist
line. And, surprisingly enough.
she wears a massive bracelet of
brilliant red crystal with a huge
cabochon ring to match.
The Washington times., 1934-08-13

But this year they seem to
be really accepted. The tunic
length coat will be used for
suits, with tunic blouses under
meath. TUNES will appear on
dresses for day or evening.
And no doubt there will be
many separate combinations of
tunic and skirt.
Separate Skirts Practical
There is where the practical
part comes in. For when you
have a season of Separate
skirt and blouse or tunic cos
tunes, you have a chance for
various and varied ensembles,
all made out of two or three.
There is talk already of satin
and metal blouses in tunic
fashion for evening, which will
be worn with long velvet or
crepe skirts - probably with
satin too. And it is easy to
see, if these tunics have any
sleeves at all, that they can be
worn with a shorter skirt, and
The Washington times., 1934-08-13

will make a lovely gown for
the cocktail or tea hour.
Many Possibilities
It's also easy to see that the
suit with tunic length coat
allows for a great deal more
variety in the way of blouses
than the jacket suit. You can
have rather formal tunic of
satin or crepe that will trans
form even a tweed suit into a
fairly dressy affair with the
coat off. Or you can wear
severe tailored blouse, and be
dressed for a football game.
The possibilities are almost
limitless. And the idea is
practical because TUNES are
more becoming than blouses.
They cover a multitude of sins,
offer no problem where they
meet your skirt, and are
adaptable to any fabric, any
mood. So it's no wonder they
have staged a real comeback
after many years of almost
absence.

Glodselter, keremer koko com. pany, Chicago, declared that "a giant hand reached out and threw hailstones against us as big as lem ons."

The market for tomatoes was tirmer and prices worked higher this morning at tho Meadow street farmers market. A large share of the No stock sold out early for $i.?5 basket and later in the morning high grade stock sold for $1.50 u basket. Tho cause of this increased market strength was be- lieved by growers to be slower ripening recently, some reporting that they have picked only half as many the past few days us short time earlier. ..
 Other products were freely offer ed and usually sold for unchanged or slightly lower prices. Large, high. grade corn went for $l.bO to $l.75 per 100 ears and smaller stock for $l.25.

COAST GUARD TO CELEBRATE ITS
 LAST BIRTHDAY
As an Independent Sea Arm It Will Die; Merged
 With U. s. Navy

Washington. Apg. 3-(UP)-The coast guard will celebrate its 144th birthday and possibly it's last as an independent sea arm tomorrow by fighting us usual against the willy forays of rum row. The guard, old est of the nations sea forces, is in the midst of another of the rum row battles which became famous during prohibition but which 1t was thought repeal would end. Snug gler's vessels have been appearing E off the 12-mile limit In increasing numbers in recent weeks attracted by the possibilities of evading the heavy L. $. customs duties on iq- uor.
 However the present campaign of the guard may be it's last if ad- vocates of consolidation with the navy have their way. There Is a possibility President Roosevelt may order the consolidation within the next year. The coast guard was created August 4, 1790. by the first congress. 1t was called the revenue marine. The nations infant navy had been disbanded after the Revo- lutionary War and for six years the little revenue fleet of 10 vessels was the United States only armed force afloat. In honor of the anniversary tomorrow, coast guard vessels In ports up and down the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, in the Arctic and along the Great Lakes will dress ship" and be opened to visitors or inspection.
 A federal life saving service was organized under the treasury in 1S4S and 1915 it was consolidated with the marine revenue service to form the modern coast guard The saving of lives and property at sea today Is the paramount service of the coast guard The coast guards record for the past year shows 6,402 lives saved; imperilled shipping worth $40,516,000 brought to safety; and 3op obstructions to navigation removed or destroyed.

 New York, Aug 3-(UP)-The American dollar sank sharply to- day as foreigners iAterpreted the treasury printing of silver cetift. cates as imitation. Stocks and com modities, however. continued to move in narrow range.
 Stock trading was about the same volume as yesterday up to the last hour, when transactions frightened.
 [ Two groups stood out on the upside at times uuring the session aviation and local fractions. Here and there a special issue broke out of Q fractional rut for wide loss or gin. The main list moved over fractional area in dull turnover. Trading was particularly light in the railroad division. Some of the industrials, notably American Cha, were lethargic.
 There was little in the news. Car loadings showed drop of 6,016 cars from the preceding week, an unseasonal showing, but smaller than many had anticipated. Most of. the rails were fractionally under the previous close.
 Silver shares slipped back small amounts despite the dollar de- decline, and golds also registered minor losses. Oils held around the previous close. Wet stocks were steady to easier. Steels lost frac- tionally. Profit-taking brought down the sugars after their recent rise.
