What They're
Wearing

Bubble dots, from tiny pin
points to those as large as q silver
dollar, are a blithe note In the
new Paris collections. A favorite
use of dots is the two-piece COM
panionate print frock. The dress
has a dark background, preferably
black, sprinkled with white dots,
while the jacket Scatters black
dots on it's white background.
Bubble dots appear on harmonic
ing accessories, which include luS-
trouS black taffeta caps equipped
with confetti dot wells, and black
kidskin pumps with dot designs
underlaid with white.
The popular shirtwaiSt motif was
used in the styling of an attractive
dinner dress for Harriet Hilliard,
popular radio singer, who makes
her screen debut in the new Fred
AStaire- Ginger Rogers musical,
Follow the Fleet" The material
used was a gold lame in a new
herringbone weave, usually asSo-
ciated with the most practical Of
sports woolenS. The tailored motif
is carried out in the ShirtwaiSt col
lar and cuffs and patch pockets.
A gold clip set with pearls is the
gowns only ornament.
The SUI shines on smart little
linen suits worn at the California
desert resorts. One suit, Of the
type that will be worn next sum-
mer, is of torquoise blue, linen
linen and brown buttons. The
bodice has a squared sunback and
the skirt has sectional fullneSS.
There is a little jacket with but
toned belt.

ting" said Jane.
How long has this been going
On?" asked.
ooh, she started several weeks
agO-suddenly, just like this with
out fOrewarning but she got the
dress half finished and stopped.
She talked about knitting a coat
rather vaguely but nothing ever
came of it. This time it is diff
ferent. She doesn't even talk"
admitted that it sounded
rather serious and wondered what
could have caused the sudden
burst of activity.
"Well, I don't know. She Is still
at it now. Let's go down to the
apartment" Jane invited.
So we went on down and sure
enough Mary was in the easy chair
with the bridge lamp close at
hand with a paper in front Of her
and a neatly drawn diagram Of
what the perfectly knitted dress
should look like. The needles
were going fast and steady.
Hello, Mary" 1 called, and the
usually friendly Mary merely
nodded without looking up.
"See," said Jane. "And we didn't
even have much dinner tonight.
But what we had was very good. I"
We went on out to the kitchen
and Jane showed me recipes that
they had used for their sand
wiches. One was made from the
bits of meat loaf left over from
the night before and the other
from baked beans, mixed with
chilli sauce. The beans were also
left-overs. Jane had sent out for
ice cream and had tried out one
of the recipes that Alex and
Charles had given them last night.
This was to add coffee syrup or
sweetened strong coffee to a cup
of milk. pour into their cocktail
shaker and shake we'll and then
added vanilla ice cream. A rich
beverage but very, very good.
The ice box looked well filled
and Jane confessed that she had
purchased things for their dinner
tomorrow that she hadn't been
able to resist. Foods that fairly
breathed spring.
We went back into the room,
Mary looked up and said:
"Well. guess you think I've gone
batty or something the way
you are looking over here in that
pitying way. But just you wait
until 1 get my dress finished and
budget or no budget, I'll have a
spring costume"
So that wa9 it. Mary was de-

it though. Say, that must have
been a good buy"
"Of course, remember, and you
thought it was great extrava-
gance," said Mary wisely.
Il never in my life had six pairs
of hose all at one time, and all the
same color. Guess that would be
sensible this spring. When one

color would 60 well with this

They began talking about the
shades for spring that Miss Laville
had discussed in the fashion
column, and accessories needed

"But remember, wooden clips
and handbl0cked linen handker.

$1.5O a week budget" said Jane.
Mary laughed and said she was
hungry, so we all went into the
kitchen and watched her make
one of her delicious cheese rare.

give you the recipe for this.

eyes, and have a sleeve and
a half done. Look" said Mary.
She held up two flat pieces,
that had a tendency to curl
round and round, for our ap-
proval. Then she pointed out
that her dress had raglan sleeves
which were knitted on straight
needles and much harder to do
than if she had used circular
ones.
Jane made some comment
about it looking small but Mary
promptly told her that the size
would all be taken care of when
it was blocked, even the dropped
stitch that had been picked up.
Then with further pride she
showed us the picture of it cut
from The Washington Times
modelled on one of the Hollywood
stars. AS she pressed down the
edges and started to count stitches,
she looked up and said suddenly:
"Jane, you know I believe we
could manage with only Is pairs
of hose"
"What, Is pairs Of hose. Good
ness, no." said Jane. "That is
only one pair a month with three
extras for holidays"
"WelI, 1 was thinking while I
was knitting that you bought six

MOTHER CLAMPS DOWN"
''Dear Miss Fairfax:
"When we first met, her mother
took charge of the situation, and
said 1 shouldn't call on her
daughter Oftener than once
week. I met the girl downtown
one day, and on the spur Of the
moment went to a movie, and had
an ice cream soda at q drug
stOre-nOthing secret about that.
But one Of mama's friends must
have seen us and telephOned the
news. Then mama clamped down
to one visit in two weeks.
Il gave the girl Christmas card
and an inexpensive gift, and now
mama says I may come only once
in three weeks. I'm expecting the
next decree will be: Don't come
at ALL
"AS we're very much in love with
one another, we don't intend to
put up with it and are going to
meet on the sly. She's IL and I'm
18. This is no case Of puppy
love. TONY"
Dear Tony:
If you're really in love with this
17-year-old girl, my dear Tony,
please don't try and persuade her
t0 meet vOII m tho SlV ClandeStine
meetings are not good for the char
acter of youngsters in their teens.
And if she begins by meeting you
on the sly, she may meet others.
If her mother has no real OBJ
lection to you. why not plead your
case with the lady, and ask her to
let you take the girl to the movies
occasionally. That would be more
sensible than planning to sneak.

Squared shoulders, high waist
line, fitted hips, are the latest
thing, declared Mrs. Snow, who
arrived on the Aquitania after a
month in the fashion capital.
"Suits are everywhere. but they
are not at all masculine" she
said. The weather-beaten, man.
niSh girl is gone. Feminine little
suits in navy blue or a brighter
blue, worn with bright-colored &C.
ceSsories, are the thing.
Padded Shoulders
"Schiaparelli's suits and coats
have the newest line Of all, high
wasted, almost empire, with q
slightly padded shoulder and stiff
fleming around the hem Of the
coats. Even If this line does not
influence the immediate spring
collection, it's bound to be some
thing that is coming in the fu-
ture."
The much-touted "Margot influ-
ence," so titled because Of French
play about Margaret of Navarro,
which caused an epidemic Of full
sleeves and ruffs about six weeks
ago, is nothing" said Mrs. Snow.
Except for an influence in hats,
and that not very definite, the
Margot influence can be over

pill-box hats made Of chiffon in
tailored style. Most of these are

black chiffon by itself looks like
mourning.
Black With Blue
Mrs. Snow herself wore hat Of
this sort, black, with a fluffy
bright blue cluster Of chiffon at
the back, like an evening handker-
chief scrunched into soft wispS.
Her coat was black tweed, with
the broad shoulders Of which she
spoke. They make your hips ap-
pear as nothing" it seems, even
when the skirts flare slightly like

More and More Pleats
Molyneux has a trick jacket
that's very Short-Something like
a mess jacket, again showing the
trim hipline.
There's a most amazing con-
tinuance Of pleats. Every house
showed them for morning, after
noon and evening. Also a con-

model in black cloth has tailored

front. She also makes them in
the shiniest white satin"
A fad for tall umbrellas covered
with silks to match the design
of suits has sprung UP in Paris,
but Mrs. Snow deems it one Of
the "crazinesses." Bold checks
for suits are a trend worth
watching though, she declared.
Gaudy tweeds with black blouses
or sweaters are attractive items
in the Easter lineup.
