THEIR SLUMP
BY THEON WRIGHT
nited Press Staff Correspondent

DAdll
NEW YORK, Sept. l3. - The
New York Giants won a 3-2 ball
game from Pittsburgh yesterday,
swapping from the slump that
threatened their hold on first place.
Not only did the Giants win, but
they had the pleasure of knowing
that st. Louis lost. The result is the
Giants, now out in front by five
and a half games, will beam upon
straw boss Frankie Frisch and his
card hands when they move into
the polo grounds this afternoon
TO start a four game series.
Two days ago the Giants were
looking with serious misgivings
upon this series. They had dropped
three in row, and the Cards had
won five straight. Now with only
Ia games to go. New York can
drop three out of the four to the
Cards and still send them away
three and half in the ruck. New
York hopes to have the pennant
settled by the middle of next
month.
Old Dazzy Vance was almost a
hero against Philadelphia, when
Ethan Allen stepped up to the tee
and Knocked the Dazzler spraddle
legged. Vance had poled homer
giving st. Louis a one run lead
going into the eighth. But Aliens
single with the bases loaded
brought the Phils from behind to
a 81 win.
Lon Warneke kept the Cubs in
winning stride, beating Boston So.
Brooklyn won from Cincinnati,
81.
Detroit dropped another half
game to New York, and the Tigers
now lead by only three and half
games. Tommy Bridges held the
Boston Red SoX to four hits but
lost, 10.
Cleveland took the series finale
from Philadelphia, 80.
The New York-St. Louis and
Westinghouse Chicago games had
been played previously.

BY WILMA LAvILLE

Not all Paris fashion news Is
important to us. So many times
the Parisiennes wear exotic, ex-
IRENE things that we would
never wear. Furthermore not
all French women are well
dressed. any more than all
Americans are well dressed.
But fashions do originate in
Paris, New York or Hollywood,
with Paris still holding a bit Of
an edge over the other two
places. So when we get a good
fashion report with wearable
clothes mentioned, the kind we
import, wear and copy, it is
of considerable significance to
us.
Such a report is on my desk
today, and it has so many
things mentioned that are of
special interest that we can go
into nearly every item, and
get ideas from it.
ColOred Gloves
Colored crocheted gloves are
seen with black linen suits.
That's a smart summer thought,
and also suggest that colored
crocheted gloves would be good
with white linen suits. Bright
strawberry pink is a favorite
over there with black linen.
My own idea is to get yellow
gloves and hat for a white
linen.
Split skirts are beginning to
be worn for afternoon. I be-
Heve that's Of more significance
than an idle glance may Sug-
gest. Split skirts are very pop
ular for evening, and are seen
for afternoon a bit in America.
In another season or so, my
prediction is that. they will be
worn here a good deal. These
skirts, which were designed by
Marcel Rochas, are straight
and narrow, split a few inches
at the hem on either side.
Earrings Popular
Earrings in ball, clip or pen
dant types are popular for

White Pique
for Men

White pique suits for men
are making an appearance
around town. They should be
popular as soon as men learn
the merits of pique, for it has
many. .'
Pique, made of cotton, Is
Snowier white than linen, and
does not crush as badly unless
you've invested in very high
priced linen. That means that
you can wear a pique suit
much longer than you can
wear linen.
There's enough body to pique
to make a well-fitted suit, and
it is durable and sturdy. Me-
dunn or small vale pique is
used for these suits. They're
inexpensive, only about $13,
and will give you excellent
service.

Co|ored SLIPS

BY all means wear silk slips
to match your, sheer dresses
whenever you can. The down.
town stores are showing silk
crepe slips, plain tailored or
lace trimmed. in all the popular
paStelS, and at very modest
prices. The plain slips look best
under most dresses. They're
good for eye1et batistes, and all
other "see-through" dresses.
Plain slips look best under
most sheer dresses in summer,
no matter what the color, so
be sure you have at least one or
two in your wardrobe. It is
also better to wear a well-cut
bias slip under a bias cut dress,
and a straight slip under
straight dresses. 1t doesn't
take as many slips for your
wardrobe as that may infer,
for one good bias slip and one
good straight slip in white will
do the trick.

afternoon. One afternoon
every woman at the Ritz bar
wore them. Big diamond hoops
are worn in the evening. So
are diamond stars or cres-
cents for the hair, and they
even appear in the afternoon,
showing under the side of a
black hat. A similar ornar
ment may be worn ON the hat
itself. :,
Satin is worn a great deal
for evening. 1t has FREEDOM
mated at many gala affairs,
with satin gowns even outnum-
bering sheers Of various types.
The gowns worn were new, not
winter satins, which makes 1t
doubly significant.
A note in advance Of fall is
the continued popularity OF
dyed furs. They were worn
here in the spring to some ex-
tent, in Paris much more.
Watch for them this fall. FurS
dyed blue are extremely popu-
lar, and other colors are COM
ing in.

The Vogue FOR
Sailor Hats

PARASITIC vogue of sailor
hats is increasing daily. How
ever, in spite of its ever-grow-
ing popularity, it has not be-
come too monotonous because
of the infinite variety of shapes.
The new sailor hats range from
cartwheels and rickshaW hats
to tiny rakish things that
should be worn over one eye
after the fashion of the late
COS.
Most of these hats are &C
companied by a ribbon dis
posed at the back and encir-
cling the nape of the neck, some
times in knotted effect, some
times with an extra bunch Of
flowers. This ornament is not
only extremely becoming, espe-
cially when it is disposed over
short curls, but it is also ex-
tremely practical to hold a hat
in place that is on one side
of the head, where it would
never remain without the as
sistance of this strap because
of it's very shallow, if not prac-
tically inexistent crown.
Rayon taffeta with embroid-
cred dots or covered with
stitches, sometimes in plaid
designs, is very fashionable for
this type Of hat. However, it
is now replaced by exotic
straws, particularly by rayon
strawS and very bright paillas-
son straws. Grosgrain ribbons,
also lacquered rayon ribbons,
constitute the favorite trim
ming of these novel hats. Some
models to accompany tailleurs
often show quilts of lacquered
fabrics instead of ribbon orna-
ments. Flowers are used for
trimming the more elaborate
sailor hats and are often dis
posed as a small bouquet in
front or a garland underneath
at the back. Wild flowers still
hold the preference.

What You See
In Paris

PARIS Oriental influ-
ence is noticeable in several COL
lections, especially on coats to
accompany both day and eve
ming dresses. The three-quarter
Swagger coat inspired by Chinese
styles, and known as the
"coolie" coat, is getting more
and more popular and is spon-
Sored by all the leading design
ers for summer costumes, each
of them adding a note Of per-
Sonality. These new sWagger
coats are usually in contrasting
effects with the dress. They
are seen in flax linen, rayon
pique, cotton piQue, sh&ntung,
and even in heavy dull rayon
crepe on the more elaborate
models.
Lyolene disposes a white rayon
pique coolie coat with a little
straight collar, fastened in front
with two twin navy blue COM
position buttons, over a navy
blue cocktail dress in taffeta.
Bruyere shows the same sort Of
Swagger coat in natural or vivid
colors of flax linen over interest
ing dresses in soft wooden. She
fastens these coats on one side
with several buttons of pyro-
xylin plastic composition, start
ing on the straight collar and
continuing over the shoulder
yoke.
Helen Hubert accompanies
some of her very elaborate after
noon or informal evening
dresses in heavy dull rayon
crepe with coolie coats either in
the same material or in contras-
ing taffeta, with a quilted band
in front forming trimming and
a large composition motif to
fasten the little straight collar.

Seersuckers

In case you haven't gotten
on to it, seerSuckerS this year
are disguised so you'd never
know them. If you object to
the impressed look of the old
striped affairs of the past few
seasons, or if you're just plain
tired of them, then you should
look again.
There are tiny checked and
plaid designs that look for all
the world like tropical worsteds.
They have the good habit Of
all seersuckers of not wrinkling,
but they do not look cottony.
They come in dark colors that
are Serviceable, yet they're no
more expensive as to laun-
dering.

Summer Belts
For Men

There's a growing feeling
among men that belts shouldn't
cut them in two. They rather
resent that black line, some
what like a snake coiled about
the waist, which a black belt
gives with a white suit. So out
goes the black belt for such &C.
caSionS!
Now, with a white suit there
are smart white leather belts.
They may be plain or with an
other leather set in-or with
black. or brown trimming in
neat design. There are also
belts covered with Palm Beach
cloth, to go with linen or Palm
Beach suits. They're scarcely
perceptible.
Woven of Cord
We've already pictured the
sports belt woven of strong cord,
some of them of the fishing line
type of cord, which are cool,
comfortable, and have enough
give to make them very easy to
wear. They come not only IN
white, but in the smart colorS
of the season, such as yellow.
royal blue, and so on. They
make a very up-to-date note on
a mans sports costume.
Striped belts are good looking.
too, and if they are cool and
summary looking, they do not
in the least give that heavy look
that a leather belt gives, even II
they are in a dark color or
colors.
Many men like belts OF leather
with elastic put inside in some
miraculous way, "live leather"
is the name, I believe, which are
firm enough, but give with the
body, so that they're comfort
able even after a big meal.

Sometimes in spite Of all that
can be done vegetables will be
left over. When this happens
use them to make a vegetable
salad. Combine carrots and
peas, either buttered or in a
rich cream sauce. Leftover
vegetables and leftover meat
combine to make a Scalloped
dish or a few vegetables heated
in meat stock make delicious
soup.

TabIecIoths

Following the fad for using
drapery materials for dresses,
and dress materials for draper
les or slip covers, you may use
a plaid linene table cloth to
make a coat, dress, or blouse.
Some separate jackets and
blouses Of plaid tablecloth linen
are being sold in town, and are
very chic. Evening gowns Of
the same material, fringed and
simple, are seen here and at
smart resorts.

Ruffles From Spain

Ruffles, and we're using mil
lions of them, are Spanish more
than anything else. A skirt
ruffled to the knees or further
up is pure Castilian. Some Of
our loveliest evening gowns are
of white organdie, or dotted
sheer material Of some kind,
with ruffles, and perhaps a
huge flower posed at the neck
line or at the waist.

THREE.TIER CAPE

Cool winds do blow even IN
