The reasons are found in the
clothes themselves, inspired by
Oriental, Spanish, Indian, Sec
ond Empire and Directoire
fashions. More color, lighter
colors for clothes, greater ex-
posed effects such as lower
necklines, bare arms, split
skirts call for lighter hosiery
ColorS.
For COlored Clothes
The reasons for believing
that lighter colorS are coming
is that they're actually selling
already. Women are thinking
of their lively greens, browns,
or rust, red and the other tones
they're wearing, and buying
colors in hosiery to harmonic.
Then in London last year,
they wore stockings lighter.
Paris has always worn them.
And in New York, the really
best dressed women took them
up as early as October and
November of last year. That
means that they will more or
less sweep the ountry this year.
But to describe those colors
somewhat. {. They fall pretty
generally into the taupes and
browns for street wear, and
with most colors. For brown
clothes they are coppery, and
have quite a bit of biege, or
Sunburned color in them. For
black they are more grayed,
but are also quite coppery, CIV
ing the effect Of a suntanned
leg underneath.
There is a rather light, al
most Sun-beige color that is
recommended for exposed ef-
fectS, such as you get with a
slit skirt. And for evening it
will be almost universally worn.
There are always exceptions.
This year there will be two of
them. One is that the con-
ServativeS, those of us who do
not bother about fashion
trends, and those of us who
are slow to change, will go on
buying the dark hose we wore
last year.
The other exception is that
sheer black hose will be worn
with black by some women.

Who can we talk about today? Although every
one is returning to town, the business of getting
settled for the fall and winter seems to have them
running in circles.
We speak feelingly about these twenty odd thou
sand alphabetical workers who have come from the
four corners of the country to do term in the

Essentials to consider in doing

Comfort for the worker, long

to keep clean, and comes in
such a variety of patterns that
you are sure to find something

A series Of dramatic descriptive nar-I
ratives of the beginnings and progress
Of painting, architecture, design and
other branches of art from the discov-
cry of America to the present time
will be inaugurated February over
National Broadcasting Co. networks.
Tie new programs, which will be of
the highest Importance to students
and laymen who are interested in any
form of artistic 5elf-eXpression, will be
presented in an unusual form under
the general title of Art in America"
Each broadcast will be introduced by
a noted art critic or curator of a IA
nous American museum, who will pre-
sent a narrator and an interviewer,
both being well known authorities in
various fields of art. They will then
review in story form some phase of
the development of art in this country
emphasizing the dramatic episodes of
artistic progress against an authentic
background of customs, manners and
public thinking of the period por-
trayed
Chronologically. the N B. c. series
will begin with the landing of the first
explorers to reach America, accom-
panied by artists who were sent by for
eign sovereigns to bring back pictures
of the new country. What these art
lists found here in the way of native
drawings. pottery and ornaments, and
how these were utilized in the begin
nings of the white mans art in the
New World forms an intensely inter-
eSting chapter in the history Of Art
in America"
From that point the evolution of a
new type of architecture, of portrait
and landscape painting and of furni-
ture and pottery design is traced in
successive steps from Colonial days
through the Civil War period to the
Victorian era and on to the present
day. Actual examples of the various
forms OF art of each period, now pre-
served in museums in New York. Chi
cago, Cleveland, Pittsburgh and other
large cities, will be studied with the
aid of manual in the hands of listen
ers, prepared by Harold Stark, noted
lecturer and former assistant director
Of the Minneapolis Museum OF Art.
The series, which will be heard each
Saturday. beginning February 3, has
been initiated by the General Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs and produced
by the American Federation Of Arts i'll
cooperation with the Metropolitan
Museum Of Art. the Art Institute of
Chicago. the Museum of Modern Art
and the National Advisory Council on
Radio in Education. The programs will
be prepared by Rene d'Harnoncourt

Prosperity has returned, and from
now on national recovery will be rapid,
DR. Harvey Wiley Corbett. noted New
York architect, declares in a forecast
issued by the American Institute OF
Architects. A building boom in the
cities greater than that which followed
the World War is predicted by DR.. Cor
bett, who was chairman Of the Archi-
tectural Commission of the Century of
Progress Exposition.
This depression, like Others which
have preceded it, will go on the shelves
as a dust-covered historic record, and
will be forgotten in the period Of sound
prosperity which is not just around
the corner, but definitely with us now"
he asserts.

new owing to advanced methods OF
construction, new ideas in comfort and

fidence New building is a logical and
sound form of capital investment. What
are the demands for new building?
Expansion OF Occupancy.
I'VE see in some of our cities partially
occupied buildings and wonder how
they can be filled up and how new
buildings could possibly be filled. We
overlook the fact that human nature
in every walk of life and in every class
of society, from the highest to the low
est expands in space occupancy with
return of prosperity.
The need for building space after
these man. months of non building will
be greater than was evidenced after
the war, when a similar period of nom
building had occurred. Architects will
find themselves handicapped for lack
of qualified assistants because so many
architectural craftsmen have been
! forced through necessity to enter other
fields, and will naturally hesitate to
return to field where they suffered
SO severely"

points out, has wider spread Of en-

Small Residential Work.
"On the other hand. during this same
period small residential work seems to
have been going on throughout the
country, not at its usual pace, to be
sure. but nevertheless at far greater
pace than the distressing conditions
of the depression in other fields seemed
to warrant.
This fact would indicate that these
two phases of the building industry
should be classed in different groups,
namely: Capital investment such as
business buildings, institutional build
ings, Government structures, etc, and
consumer goods such as housing,
slum clearance and small separated
residences.
I'm the last few months activity on
the part of the Federal Government in
public buildings and particularly in the
field of slum clearance, and partial
decentralization OF congested industrial
areas, in an effort to place industrial
workers on sustenance farms within
transport distance of these areas, has
been a tremendous factor in starting
up the whole building industry.
There is no question about the fact
that building, as a capital investment,
depends upon banking credit and upon
an even more important factor. long
term confidence. Housing. like con-
sumner goods, must go on if the COM
munity lives, but capital investment in
buildings is voluntary investment and
this will not revive until confidence in
the long-continued stability and per-
manence of our industrial and CONNER
cial life Is re-established."
