The new summer COlleCIlOnS
lust over in Paris are always eager
ly awaited. This year they have
brought more in novelty and
charm than could have been antic-
ipated, and one cannot but believe
that women the world over will
not be able to resist buying these
new, attractive styles. Also, femi-
ninity characterizes the fashions
offered by all of the great design
ers, and in achieving feminine
charm, the couturiers have chosen
the preferred medium-lace. This
return to favour of a material so
long overlooked by the mode is
outstanding. and it has come back
not only in the classic varieties
of lace to which we have become
accustomed, but in many new and
fascinating forms, which seem
very definitely fabrics.
Summary Types
These new types are being en-
oloyed widely for street dresses
and summer suits, definitely tai
lored in effect. The prominence
given lace in this type of clothes
has also called attention to the
practicalnesS and charm of cotton
nets and tulle as a material for
tailoring. Suits of these mate
rails are shown by Lucille Paray,
Rosevienne and Mainbocher, while
such designers as Agnes, Vionnet,
Worth and LeLong utilize the new
laces for long redingotes which
veil evening frockS in an alluring
mist.
Blouses of lace and tulle are i'm
'ortant this season in a list of
houses that is as long as the list
of Grande Couture. This is like
wise true of the flattering "garni-
lures" at neck and wrist. Hats
even are made entirely of tulle,
as shown by Agnes and Erik, while
Molyneux has launched a new
mode of tulle headdress matching
the hair. Any hat this year, it
seems, requires a veil. But veil
ings are not contented to remain
only wells, and besides making
entire hats, insist on becoming
trimmings. They give that de-
lightful femininity and are so
flattering that women are not
BILE to resist them.

BIRTH CONTROL
Dear Miss Fairfax:


81 always read your coImun with
great interest. Seeing the recent
article about Will Durant's Opin-
ions on birth control prompts me
to ask him if humanity would be
any better for the loss of such
people as Shakespeare, Abraham
Lincoln, Edison, Ford, Carnegie,
Jane Adams, Madame Curie, SUI
san B. Anthony, who made edu-
cation and jobs possible for women.
"And at the same time, please
let me add that it seems to me
wealth puts a greater handicap on
people than poverty. The children
of the Super-rich have fewer
chances to enter life's great IabOra-
tory and work out their deStinieS
from firSt-hand experience.
"If birth control is practiced to
a greater degree than it is at
present, we may lose valuable lives.
Men and women capable of I'M
raveling the tangle into which the
human race has twisted itself.
"a WOMAN READER.
This lady's letter opens up a
very interesting question Mrs.
j. w. of Cherrydale has also writ
ten along the same lines. What
do our readers think of this ques-
ton of birth control?

Russian Violet

Russian violet, delicious new
color, is as gay and fresh as an
April afternoon. Under black taf-
feta coats with swirling circular
skirts Molyneux dares slender
sheer dresses in this new shade.
Tiny straw hats, buried in violets
or colored wells, black kidskin san
dals with dramatic ladder" Sits
and violet gauntlets appear with
these afternoon costumes. Com
bined with violine, a paler pastel,
Russian violet makes flowing
mousseline evening gowns that
have lift and excitement.

Please do not take the polite
ness of ushers so seriously that
it disturbs your peace of mind.
When an usher gets a job in a
theater, the first thing he is told
is to treat all patrons with the
utmost courtesy. You were a
patron.
When employees realize patrons
are getting personal, it sometimes
scareS them, even as little Miss
Muffet who sat on a tuffet was
scared by the spider, who sat
down beside her. When he smiles
at other girls, it's all iri the
days work, Please don't think
professional politeness means any,
thing in particular.
I'm answering this at length
because I've had so many letters
on the same subject. Ushers
seem to be marked men.

sponge your face several times a
day with solution of boric acid.

ture, if you wish:
p ounce of castor oil
p ounce of mineral oil.
5 drops of oil of rosemary.
Rub it on every night and send

duce the bust, not please repeat
