A story which proves that it takes more than wealth
and a family tree to make thoroughbred
by JEAN JOHNSON

She caught fleet impression of tawny hair
and exciting hazel eyes before Maxine said,
"Sally, this is Irving Brandt, an old friend
of mine Be on your guard; he's dangerous"
Handicapped at the starting post" the
unperturbed young man lamented, taking
Sally's cold hand in his firm grasp. Nov
you're forewarned that gobble up little girls!
l like your grip, Miss Donovan"
There was no mistaking the admiration in
his appraising glance. Here, he must have
recognized, was beauty "a rare blending OF
delcacy and power. And Irving Brandt was
man easily moved by the loveliness of women.
His gaze swept over her slight. vital figure, her
features made vividly expressive by the eager
ness akin to hunger in her dark eyes. and
fingered appreciatively upon the short, red
dish gold hair that swept carelessly back from
her deep brow.
Don't say l haven't warned your
Maxine said, and turned away, somewhat
vexed expression on her sharply pretty face.
When the other girl had disappeared, Sally
drew relieved breath.
LAS bad as all that?" the man SYM
pathized.
"And more so." Sally admitted.
"If we were living in another age" he COM
mented, there would be an arena and lions"
Sally knew what he meant by that. She was
we'll aware of the fact that Maxine had in
vited these people to pass Judgment upon her
so that when Dick returned, he would hear
reports of her failure socially. And it was
new and disturbing feeling for her to feel un-
comfortable with people. With men, especially.
Much of her life had been spent with her
father, surrounded by young men who had
treated her with comadely respect. 1t was
one of Pats pet boasts that he d brought up
his girl to be fearless, equal to meeting any
situation But, was she1 The thought of be-
coming permanent member of the Hadley
household filled her with increasing dismay.
Already, three days of constant criticism had
turned her into quivering mute!
"You see before you Exhibit A - the wild
girl from the hinterland," she said finally, and
regarded Irving Brandt withwide, steadyeyes.
Why, she wondered did her newly dis
covered self-consciousness pass away in his
presence1 And this was the man Dick had
warned her against! steer clear of Brandt.

He said, kindly, Then well talk about

On familiar ground, Sally found her tongue
again. She told him of her fathers struggles
from the time he came out of the Spanish
American War with Congressional medal
and the lightweight championship of the Ser

class.

Washington, Sally answered truthfully that
she really didn't know, and was miserably
aware of the slightly twangy accent which

whose tall shadow she had seen in the hall.

Devastating Elegance Is
Seen In New Fashions
Modsi5 BY /. MagnIn.

doxical smartness had their origin
in Paris, others were created by
eminent American designers, and
all are being eagerly adopted by
women whose clothes are watched
and copied and held as standards
of today's vogue. Consider the
unexpected triumph of tweed for
the long slim evening coat. True
it's tweed of exquisite softness;
true it has lapels of velvet richly
appliqued with gold kid and en-
broidered in bright beads; never
theless it's a formal wrap beau
tifully tailored from fabric
which in other years would not
have appeared in a coat for after
dark. Schiaparelli launched this
tweed evening coat with
thought to the wisdom of appear
ing plainly dressed in the prole-
tartan streets no matter how
richly one might be gowned be-
meath. It's paradox that is al
ready the pet of American women
of fashion, and which bids one
consider the possibilities of other
unusual fabric landings.
Evening is naturally the hour
when fashion paradoxes reach
their peak. Consider the dress
for wear at the important hotels
at the hour of six. 1t may be of
silk jersey, lovely clinging quail
ity, but nevertheless, a fabric
which in other years and other
times would have been considered
more suitable for a sports CO.'S
tune than for a dress in which to
meet the current beau. This same
silk jersey is used in the draped
and folded classic evening gowns
that were seen at the recent Paris
openings. It's best in black for
just after six, glorious in white
for more formal hours.
A ND then there's the intense
~ black of fine broadcloth.
This material would have been
perfect in the old days for either
a beautifully tailored suit or a
more elaborate afternoon cos
tune. Now behold it in dinner
dresses, a triumph of the new
season. Broadcloth may be seen
in the long fitted princess line
dress, perhaps with shirred sleeves
and a square neck rather low in
front. Frequently it is accented
with antique pendants or huge
| clips of heavy gold metal and

By Doris Lockett

THE keynote of the day is nom
chalant elegance. Casual, but
so devastatingly elegant, Believe
it or not-but don't deny it until
you have yourself seen the salons
of Paris and the smart hotels of
the States, not only the profess
sionally elegant are thus. but the
onlookers.
Every woman who understands
fashion knows how utterly de-
lightful is the unexpected in
dress; what verve results from
the unusual use of color con-
trasts; what tremendous chic is
obtained by surprising employ
ment of fabric or an entirely diff
ferent angle in what might other
wise be very conservative hat.
This season fashion has seized
upon these possibilities with un-
common results. Fashions love
of paradox provides some of the
most entertaining and at the
same time wearable styles of au-
tunn and winter.
Many of these fashions of para

colored jewels. Perhaps the vogue
of broadcloth is at it's best
though in the street-length dinner
dress one wears for the six o'clock
rendezvous and later at the smart
hotels. In this guise the skirt
may be fiared, the hem and
sleeves edged with fringe.
For evening wear, fashion has
not been able to settle to any one
silhouette. Her love of variety,
of unexpectedness, of infinite
change takes advantage to the
highest degree of the possibilities
offered during the hours from six
to dawn. Whimsicality vies with
elegance; simplicity with luxury;
and the results are glorious.
One of the outstanding, liter
ally outstanding styles for formal
hours is the bouffant dress of net
in every shade of the rainbow.
The skirt flares and swirls and
floats, the bodice is snugly fitted
velvet, and over it goes a little
directoire coat of velvet with wide
lapels; dream of dress. Rich
white crepe with fringe used in
an almost classical manner is
another style that is destined for
tremendous success throughout
the winter season. Velvet, espe-
cially the rather firm Lyons vari-
ETY., is the darling of the mode.
It's important in black and lovely
in the deep glowing jewel tones.
One model seen recently had a
directoire skirt, slit and faced
with taffeta, a daring decolletage
held with rhinestones, and was
worn with stunning little tight
fitting jacket buttoned from waist
to chin with cleaning rhinestone
buttons. The sleeves were huge
puffs of white ermine-exquisite.
Imperial Valley press., 1936-10-18

useful to the woman whose ward
robe is limited as it is glamorous
for those whose frocks are many
Velvet is used for most of the
dashing little dinner hats which
are so important this season with
street length dinner frocks.
There's nothing more dramatic
than the contrast of black velvet
with cleaning metallics, and it's
equally rich when the hat
matches the velvet gown. Paris
used all her Imagination in the
creating of these debonair little
hats. Velvet is swirled high in
turban effect; draped and folded
in intriguing peaks, spiked with
quills, edged with wisp of veil,
woven in kindergarten effect to
show the hair. Black velvet hats
are the badge of six o'clock chic
whether in types perched jaunt-
lily forward or in bonnet effects
set far back.
PERHAPS because of the vogue
of velvet, perhaps just to re-
iterate the mood of luxury in
fashion, jewelry has seldom been
so much in evidence nor so glor-
iously designed. Antique brooches
and pendants remind one of
grandmother's day, and there are
other pieces of more modern eff
feet. One of the outstanding
themes in jewelry is the use of
black enamel to simulate black
onyx. 1t is combined with rhine
stones, baguettes and gem-colored
stones. The bracelet is a sign of
complete smartness; more often
than not, it's non-fiexible. Fre-
quently the band Is of black
enamel with rhinestone ornament
which may be removed and
turned into two fine clips for the
Imperial Valley press., 1936-10-18

rUR, as one would expect in a
season when luxury is the
keynote of fashion, is an impress
sive factor in the formal evening
picture. Ermine reappears with
great smartness, a fur hard to
equal for flattery, and newly inn
portant with the coronation in
London now only a matter of
months away. It's correct to use
this imperial pelt rather casually,
and let the beauty of the fur
emphasize it's smartness, as is
evident in. wrist length evening
wrap of ermine seen recently.
Silver fox has no equal for the
note of elegant luxury, and a cape
fashioned of these cleaning dark
and silver skins used in vertical
lines gained much attention at an
important evening function this
month. White fox, snowy and fiat
tering, rivals the silver fox for
evening capes, and is the choice
of many smart women.
This season the street-length
dinner dress gains new chic
through the use of such formal
fabrics as metallic materials and
velvets. Rich and glamorous fash
ions hold the spotlight for win
ter. Interesting weaves, new fin
ishes, lustrous effects, velvets are
everywhere. White lace on black
velvet gives quantity demure
effect, metallic fabrics with velvet
strike, perhaps, the keynote of
the luxury mode. These metallics
also appear in entire frocks cut
. on simple lines and worn usually
with dark accessories. The metal
cloth tunic is worn with either
a street length or long skirt of
velvet depending upon the oc-
casion's formality, fashion as

Modern GIass s

- LASS, once a luxury of the
" rich and limited in the size
of the units in which it could be
made, is now one of the primary
essentials of the cheapest home,
and its unit size is almost limit
less.
Our windows originally were
divided into small panes, because
only small panes could be made
economically. Glass was blown
like toy balloons, and naturally
only small areas could be cut
from these glass globes to fit in
a fiat frame. When the art of
glassmaking made larger panes
possible, the tendency was to
clear our windows Of all cross
pieces and have large, unob-
structed surfaces. But the effect
of these large gaping spaces on
the architectural appearance of
the house was not considered.
Gradually, as the wonder of large
panes wore away, we became con-
scious of the lack of these bars
of wood or metal in our windows,
We began to realize the beauty
of loaded easement in an Eng
lish cottage and 24light window
in New England farm house. So
now one of the first things one
does in remodeling an old house
is to put back the small-paned
windows that our grandfathers
screamed
