tune to the liking of those who
prefer the slim and tall silhouette.
There is an exquisiteness expressed
which reflects the new trend toward
meticulous detail such as fine hand
tucking and myriads of wee self
material covered buttons such as
fasten this princess all the way
down the front. Here is really a
very charming way to make up
organdie if you like to be outstand-
ing in distinctive dress.
1t is not only that delightsome
lingerie materials are favored for
party frocks but the tendency all
the way through the season is to
wear dainty frilly blouses in the
daytime of exquisitely fine cotton
sheers, also prettily feminine neck
wear and beguiling accessories
iabots, ruffled halter fronts and 9TH
er such fattering items. With the
approach of fall, tailored suits are
coming out in full force and the
fad of the moment is to wear with
them the frilliest fluttery blouses
that fancy might picture. Fine hand
work is lavished on the high-quality
types.
For these handmade blouses sheer
est of fine white organdie or daintiest
batiste or filmy handkerchief linen
are first in favor. Popular too and
heartily to be recommended are the
attractive allover embroidered or
candies that are definitely practical
and pretty for the making of the
blouse to be worn with ones jack
et-and-skirt tailleur. 1t should by
all means have sprightly frill
fashioned after the manner of the
model pictured in the inset to the
right. Trimmed with lace edging,
as is this blouse, makes the effect
all the more daintily feminine and
alluring.

TIGHT SLEEVES ON
FROCKS FALL STYLE

While the designers are draping
blouses, lowering waistlines a n d
Strengthening out the hemlines of
skirts they also are cutting out the
fullness of sleeves. Advance autumn
fashions which forecast the coming
seasons mode have sleeves that
are straight and tight. Absence
of shoulder pleats is especially note
worthy and if any fullness does APP
pear it is in the form of drapery
on the forearm.
Sleek satins are the fabrics which
show off the new straight sleeves
and slender skirts to best advance
so the shiny fabrics are the first
to show the changes of fashion.

to find Grace Moore agreeing whole
heartedly with every suggestion the
director makes. incidentally, John
Ford has an effective way of
squelching actors who want to play
scenes their way instead of taking

he rips the film out of the camera,

Dressmaker Details That
Class as Important News

The continued importance of en-
broidery is noted. Gold embroi-
derry on black is much employed;
also fanciful effects on the new
silk frocks. Much favor is ex-
pressed for appliqued felt motifs
on black silk crepe day dresses.
Dressmakers are making use of
any amount of stirring and tuck
ing and they delight in scalloped
and sawtooth hemlines, thus trim
ming the dark silk sheers and
crepes effectively. The skirts of
the newest silk print frocks are
frequently pleated or vertically
tucked all around.

Wear Small Sleeves
in Wedding Party

ID EAR Mrs. Post: My sister
- would like to know what fea-
lures make the women attendants
dresses different at an evening we'd
ding, since you have said that it
is not proper for women to wear
cut-out low necks and sleeveless
evening dresses to church.
Answer: The only requirement for
evening dresses worn by the we'd
ding party in church is that they
have at least very small sleeves
and that backs be cut moderately,
or else have matching jackets
which can be worn in church. The
evening effect is also helped by the
richness of the materials. This last
is not infallible since materials of
all varieties are worn at daytime
and evening weddings.

Do the Natural Thing;
You'll Likely Be Right

NEAR Mrs. Post: The other after
~ noon two gentlemen called on
me in regard to business transac-
ton. After greeting them sat
down, assuming that they would do
likewise. But instead they continued
to talk, remaining standing. Feeling
somewhat embarrassed, got up
again and we finished our cOnversa-
ton all standing until they left fif-
teen minutes later. Should l have
asked them to be seated? 1 sup
posed when a lady sat down gen
tleman seated himself without any
further gesture on her part.
Answer: I think in this case it
would have been natural to ask
them to sit down. 1t is true that
ordinarily people sit down unless
they are staying for only moment
of time.
The Double Celebration.
n EAR Mrs. Post: I have two sis
~ tiers, both married on the same
day almost Is years ago. One sis
ter's husband is still living and the
other ones husband died several
years ago. We would like to do
something in honor of the double
anniversary, but do you think it
will be cruel to the widowed sister?
Answer: Certainly it would be inn
possible to think of the anniversary
as a double celebration. But, on
the other hand, see no reason why
you should deprive the happy sis
ter of her share. However, the
least you say about the anniversary
o. the widowed sister the less diff
cult you are likely to make the day
for her. And if she is not to be
present at the party, it would be
nice if you sent her few flowers
with your love but with no reference
to the day.

COLLEGE Dancing Age.

College Dancing Age.
n EAR Mrs. Post: Do you con-
~ slider it incorrect for girl of
fifteen to go to a college canoe?
1 have a very good friend who is
four years older and he has asked
me to come to a dance at his col
lege. His mother would go with me
and we would stay together at
school. Mother is debating about
letting me go because she is afraid
1 will be the youngest girl at the
dance and perhaps she will be crit
icized for having let me go.
Answer: The only possible objec-
ton to your going is the not too
certain one that people seeing you
at this dance will perhaps after
wards imagine that you are two or
three years older than you really
are. I see no improperly in your
going since college dance is after
all not very far removed from
school dance, and the girls who
60 to it are not necessarily grown.

~ plain the present-day status of
deeply cut glass? i don't believe
people are buying it today, and
perhaps it is no longer being sold,
but am an older housekeeper who
has some really beautiful pineapple
cut pieces, and 1 wonder whether 1
shall be stamped Old-fashiOned if I
bring them out of the back corners
of the cupboards and use them?
Answer: Although certain designs
in glass cutting are seen less often
than they used to be, this does not
mean that they are any less valued
by those who possess them. They
would 60 in every type of house ex-
cept one that is strictly modernistic.
Use yours by all means, especially
if they look well with your china
