DLEATS, pleats and nothing but
pleats, is the message Of many of
the smartest fashions this season.
Turn where one will in the realm Of
costume design, there's an orgy Of in
triguing pleated effects carrying on"
So let's keep up with the mode while
we talk about pleats, pleated and be-
Ing pleated.
French designers, especially, are not
leaving anything implicated that could,
should and must be pleated according
to their idea of things. Their pleated
mood pertains to daytime fashions as
well as those of highest evening for
mality. The all-over pleated gown re-
f1ecting Grecian inspiration is high
light in evening modes. Evening capes
to go with these lovely creations are
also completely pleated in waistline or
longer lengths. In daytime fashions
the all-over pleated dress, has also
been received with acclaim.
However, all-over pleating is only one
phase of the subject, for the use of
piCoto 40 CNSLy oOAt lAoh
the tiniest Of sprightly pleated edgings
which run hither and thither about
hemlines and up and down, f1anking
each side of neat buttoned closings
which sometimes extend from head to
foot. Some designers there are who
make feature Of pleated tiers and
apron fronts and pleated sleeves.
The new fabrics are entering into
the pleated conspiracy with noble
gesture. Most of them seem made just
to be pleated-fairly invite one to pleat
them. Take the all-silk black crepe
which Is so ultra smart for daytime
dresses. 1t pleats to perfection. A
statement that does not need second
telling after one glimpses the stunning
gown in the center of the illustration.
Pleated every inch of the way is this
black silk crepe afternoon dress. The
pleats are stitched down at the neck,
shoulders and waist, giving a fitted
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1935-12-05

well-groomed appearance to the frock.
A green clasp at the throat and a
suede belt in the same color provide
bright contrast. This dress is the
much talked-of Molyneaux which Is
meeting with such outstanding success
this season.
An effective treatment Of wider
pleats in black silk crepe dress for
the young girl, is pictured to the left.
The pleats are stitched with tailored
precision about the hipline and re-
leased half way down the skirt so as
to slenderize at the came time that
it provides a fiared hemline. The
bodice Is a modified shirtwaist with
tiny metal buttons in front.
Speaking of the new materials adapt
ing themselves so readily to the pleat-
ed mode, the new silk lame weaves,
like in texture, enter into the scheme
of things with infinite grace. If you
are wanting a lovely gown for prom
gayety, here it is at the right in the
group pictured. Shirrings and pleats
go fifty-fifty in the instance of this
ultra chic and adorable evening dress
made Of silver silk lame. The shirred
top is held by narrow double straps,
and the decolletage is outlined by a
tiny band Of pleats. The pleated
theme continues in the skirt, held well
in place by the crispness of the silk
lame. The only trimming is the metal
and jeweler buckle of the belt.
Among the pleated triumphs in eve
ming fashions are the perfectly charm
ing airy-fairy floating visions of silk
chiffon, most lovely, perhaps, in white
but which set your heart throbbing at
faster pace in any Of the new jewel
colors or pastel shades. Sometimes
only the skirt is pleated, but when it
is, it's done so artfully it fiutters out
like a fieeting cloud or a mist envel-
oping the figure.

New Soft Wool Weaves Are
Proving Popular Just Now

With wool increasing in fashion i'm
portance, and women's insistence on
being comfortable indoors as well as
out, something pretty definite has been
done in this years weaves for the In
terests of all concerned.
This years domestic weaves are
as soft as chiffon, warm enough for
all normal purposes, and have taken
on an additional silky finish, adding to
wearing enjoyment.
Colors have never been more fat
tering. That day has gone when
winter means somber tones, and the
"little wool frock" to wear under
meath the tweed coat or the fur sport
coat may be as gay and colorful as
ones temperament demands.

FUR CAPES RICHER;
OF MANY VARIETIES

Fur capes are richer than they have
been in years. Full-length evening
models are made of strips of silver fox
running from shoulder TO hem-one
very elegant one Boosting twenty full
sized animal skins. Knee-length day
capes are fashioned of mink, silver fox,
dyed red fox or moleskin, while any
number of shorter capes appear in
astrakhan, nutria or broadtail.
Occasionally the fur capes for day
wear are cut with broad shoulders and
little fullness below so that they hang
straight, though more often they have
some flare.

Old Westminster Abbey
Rooted Deep in History

Opposite the houses of parliament
is Westminster, which, besides being a
beautiful example of Twelfth century
architecture is one of the most historic
and interesting churches in England,
observes a writer in the Washington
Post.
Edward the Confessor is generally
conceded to have been the founder of
the abbey, which was planned and
mainly built by Henry III.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1935-12-05

Windsor, however, the abbey ceased
to be the mausoleum of British kings
and queens, but it retained its place
as the scene of their coronation. The
historic coronation chair, made by
order of Edward 1 and first used at
the enthroning Of his son, is in the
chapel of Edward the Confessor, where
the shrine of this saint creates a re-
ligious at,nosnhere.
Many are the monuments to states
men, courtiers, ecclesiastics, poets and
other notable persons to be found in
this building.

Cowbirds may be seen strutting
around the cows in feedlots, feeding
on the insects that follow cattle. They
also destroy many weed seeds. Since
they each represent one or more val

sidered as a parasitic nuisance.
