PATTERN 2216

Sharp color contrasts are one
of the seasons outstanding
fashion contributions. It took
Anne Adams to fashion this
frock to carry the contrast in
a brand-new way. Don't you
love the way she emphasizes
the deep sleeve line? And the
waistcoat effect of the bodice?
Not to mention the nice pleated
skirt. Two shades of the same
color are particularly good in
this dress-as navy and light
blue, or you may go to any
extreme you like, such as gray
and yellow. Navy and white
make a smart combination, as
does a plaid and solid color,
and, of course, you may choose
to make it up entirely in one
color. Suitable fabrics are
linen, pique, broadcloth, seer
sucker or heavy silk crepe.
Pattern 2216 is available in
sizes IL, IA, 16, Is, 20, 30, 80,
"a, SO, 38, 40 and 42. Size Is
takes 33s yards 36-inch fabric

Yes. We may say, for instance,
"Thank you. I'm so glad that

I'm very proud that you like it,"

Scented
Bath
By JULIET SHELBY

Nothing can revive a wo-
mans spirits more effectively
at the end of an exhausting
day than a b e eautifully
scented bath or a fragrant
rundown after a refreshing
shower.
This is not just beauty talk.
Women of ancient and modern
history, massaged with perfumed
unguents, bathed in waters that
were Softened and scented with
oils, powders or herbs.
These lovely ladies mastered
the art of relaxation; they knew
that a woman's charm depends
so much on poise, calm nerves
and a pleasing fragrance. So
they resorted to special baths
and had their bodies masSaged
with preparations that rested,
perfumed and softened the skin.
Our modern beauty is ex-
tremely fortunate in having a
bath essence so concentrated
that just a few drops in tub Of
water will give the desired eff
feet. The bath water is soft
ened, and the rich, lovely fra
GRANGE which rises from the
tub Soothes, jumpy nerves and
restores a woman's equilibrium.
After the Tubing, few drops
rubbed into the skin will create
a subtle, lasting body perfume.
Charming Bette Davis, the vi
vacious blonde star of Warner
brothers, is a beauty who re-
sorts to what she calls "enchant-
ing tubbings." Adoring flowers
that have rich perfume, Bette
chooses this new bath essence
because it reminds her Of
Grasse, the land of flowers.
Before dressing for the even
ing, Bette steps into her per-
fumed water and bathes her
body. Miss Davis finds relaXa-
ton in the rich floral fragrance
which permeates the air. And a
right nice way it is to prepare
ones self for an evenings
gaiety! How comforting to know
that your refreshed skin eman-
ates a perfume like that Of a
field of flowers in bloom! Isn't
that sufficient to give any wo.

ture, as launched at the Paris
openings, the memory of other
days, which was the dominat-

largely achieved by this revival
of interest in width.
''Molyneaux launched two new

featured cores. These varied
from the narrow form, some
times called snake hips, to the

pleats or shirrings to hold the

his career, the four, six and

ions perpetually change - but
that this change has had an
effect on boys and young men
that is actually bewildering.
Good Manners
1t seems ridiculous to say
that flounces and furbelows
are actually bringing back good
manners on the part of boys
and girls. We had become so
used to the lack Of anything
like politeness, given or de-

ings very much, and frequently
fell in love with them; but
there is no question about it,
these girls had to put up with
a good deal of date breaking,
indifference and neglect, gen.
orally speaking.
It's hard to account for mas.
culine psychology, but I sup
pose it is easier to break a date
with a girl and fail to send her
an excuse, when she can out
smoke and out-drink you, than
it is to be rude to a girl who
looks bewitchingly feminine.
Independent
These straight and sturdy
girls were overflowing with
what they called common
sense views" They declined
special protection if they had
to walk several city blocks at
night, and often they insisted
on paying for their own meals
in a restaurant and their own
taxifares-so it seemed natural
enough to a good many young
men to let them have their
own way.
They looked independent, and
they protested they wanted to
be Independent. And that
seemed to settle it.
The girl of the spring and
summer of 1885 may say and
feel that she needs no mascu-
line protection. But what youth
will believe or decline to pro-
tect anything that looks so
alluring?
Transformed
Young men didn't know they
could feel so protective toward
anything in the world as they
now feel toward these slender
