Dressmakers Must Study Style Motifs
To Determine Smart New Trends

color on the dress, which was black,
but the profile hat. also black, had 4
waist length sheer scarf in the same
shade Of blue, which the model had
draped over her shoulder. The effect
was fascinating in its simplicity and
color tone.
OF course. there are many other
equally effective motifs that the dress
maker at home might borrow from
the French creations, applicable to
both day and evening dresses. Like

deep flcunce Of the lace around the low
decolletage raised at the shoulder line
by placing big yellow rose under the
lace and over each shoulder. This Is
matched by another yellow rose worn
in the hair.
The style motif is one Of the most
interesting ideas around which to plan
a dress, for it eliminates all problems
of trimming as well as fabric selec-
ton. The selection of the motif is al
tered somewhat by the color Of the
dress.

NEW YORK.-A good dressmaker in
this day of style supremacy naturally
knows more than the art of sewing
In fact. she is first to keep an eye on
the launching of new styles. For in
every season there is some trick of de-
sign or styling that labels a dress new
and smart, and the discovery of that
trick goes a long way to giving the
dressmaker her cue to unusual and in
dividual treatments.
Any woman adept at making her
own clothes can do the same thing to-
day. Watch the Paris and American
style creations as they are introduced
in the style salons, and choose a style
motif for yourself that you particu-
larly like. Today. this can be carried
out with single trimming motif or
color motif. The important thing is
to decide upon the motif, before plan
ming your dress. After you have once
planned motif the fabric, color and
style of the dress present no problems
whatever.
Take, for example, the chatelaine
motif. Marcel Rochas makes an all

President Roosevelt, at Hyde

aid Wakefield Smith to the Ma
tionol Labor Relations Board, thus
pointing the way toward a Senate
fight over Smiths confirmation,
with the American Federation Of
Labor leading the opposition.
The Presidents action, which
had been expected, came less than
"a hours after the AFL executive
council had taken the unprece-
dented step of formally protesting
against it.
Smith accepted Mr.. Roosevelt'S S
tender of another five-year term
in a formal statement defending
the Wagner act and the NLRB's
administration of it. He said that
most criticism of the boards
work "is primarily the result of
factional differences and cannot

proves that the act has been ad-
ministered impartially."
