Wool Wedves for
Easter Fashions
New Fobrics Tune to Any
Climdte or Occasion
BY CHERIE NICHOLAS

The new woods are that grand and
glorious this season they battle de-
scription Now that woods have be-
come a year-round theme, having
been improved in quality, texture
and new surfaces so as to tune to
any of the four seasons, to any eli
mate to any occasion, formal or in
formal, third of the spring Paris
collections register intriguing cos
tunes of handsome wooden weaves.
A few notes taken at random
stress the following wool news. The
importance of fannels for the spring
suits and coats is not to be over
looked.
Leading couturiers are doing de-
lightful things with the new thin
muslin woods. There are many wool
coats and redingote fashions in the
spring collections.
Watch duvetynes and velours de
laine for summer evening wraps.
There is also a new wool crepe out
that is slightly shiny. Toile de laine
in self tone designs is most attrac-
tive. Serge is fashion favorite for
practical wear. Kasha is also again
very popular.

Fashions Stress
Little Girl Look

If you follow fashions lead you
will be wearing clothes with the
little girl look" such as designers
are turning out with such enthusi-
asm this season. The magic of these
new ingenue fashions is that not
only do they subtract years from
your appearance, but you will be
seen at your prettiest.
Notable among the young looking
dresses that now center the fashion
stage are the types that have short,
full swing skirts pleated, or if not
pleated, then gored in as many as
16 sections. It adds to their cum
ming that these skirts reveal tantaliz-
ing bits of frou-frou frill, which &C.
counts for the term "petticoat
dresses" as registered ON fashions
program.
We could go on and on telling of
this youth trend but huff said"
for your shopping tours will convince
you of the claim that the new clothes
look as if they had been dipped in
the fountain of youth.

MILADY'S HANDBAG
BY ELLSMERB


.. Hold everything! That phrase
really would make a grand slogan for
manufacturers of handbags; for a
woman's handbag just about holds
everything from common pin to a
pain Of rubbers. Handbags are very
personal things and a woman can re-
veal her character and her tempera-
mcnt by the contents of her handbag.
No doubt at some time you have had
your character read-from your hand
writing, your palm, or from your as
trotogicaI sign. Well, it can just as
easily be read by the innards of your
handbag. For instance, the woman
who always totes a bulgy bag that
looks about to burst, likely is the type
O.. woman who has a too-full life. She
can never throw anything away; no
doubt her hats are overturned and
She probably wears too much mex
pgnsive ieWelry. Her house, too, is
oyer-cluttered. e. On the other hand
there is the woman whose handbag is
always delicately perfumed, and also
contains an immaculate white hankie,
and her handbag is definitely not
crGmmed. She is the type of woman
who will not stand for mussiness; she
bathes frequently and probably has a
drawerful of lovely, perfumed lingerie.
Handbags are one accessory that we
can "splurge" on for an unusually
designed bag will add chic to your
costume. Still, if you prefer the clas-
sic simple bags, you can individual
lze" it with a unique monogram. &.
There are several essential items
every woman should include in her
handbag: A mirror, compact, lipstick,
comb, pins, snapshots, pencil or foun-
tain pen, money, handkerchief, keys,
notebook or pad, identification card,
automobile license (if you drive)
cigarettes and matches (if you
smoke). Of course few women can
get by just stufiing their bags with
the bare essentials. A completely
equipped handbag would also contain:

SIZE deodorant; nail white pencil; an

glasses, a tiny fiashlight; a stocking
run stopper; and a compact of those
cleansing pads that come already

IF YOU have not already been
seized with a mania for a new
frock of gay silk print, call a physi-
clan. Your case is serious and
needs immediate attention, for it
is as natural for womankind to seek
the inspiration of bright colorful
prints in the springtime of the year
(any time of the year for that mat

Colors that lead? Answering the
question, fuchsia shades perhaps
come first in favor although a flair
for prints that pattern navy or
black backgrounds with chartreuse
or spring green motif is definitely
evidenced in the ensembled cos
tunes featured at various prevue
showings. These green and black
or green and navy prints are Won
derfully attractive.
Major trends in prints from a

thing, there are the very chic jacket

there is no reason why, if you are

"class" wherever you go.
The pleated vogue continues a big
factor in print-dress styling. The
latest call is for pleated bodice as
well as pleated skirt. The model
conferred in the group gives the
idea. This short-sleeved daytime
dress is made of pure dye printed
silk crepon with white medallions
conferred with green and magenta
on an orange yellow ground. These
sun-gold print silks are the 'last
word" for spring.

violene tones in a closely spaced

In the last column we discussed
the problems confronting the over
weight girl who wishes to look her
best for spring. Today we will con-
slider her too-slim sister. The girl
with too many angles and too few
curves wears her clothes with even
less style than the heavier woman.
There is a certain dignity in matron-
hness, but scrawniness looks simply
under-fed. And as a general rule
1t IS harder to gain weight, if you
are always underweight, than it is
to lose it. Losing weight, in most
cases, is a matter of will-power, self
control when it comes to starches
and sweets, and regular exercise.
The underweight girl has to resort
to all sorts Of tricks to coax a few
elusive pounds to stay with her.
Here are a few suggestions which
may help.
ADEQUATE SLEEP
NECESSARY
One of the first requisites for
gaming weight is sufficient sleep.
Doctors will tell you that no two
people require the same amount of
sleep. If you are underweight
don't think that eight hours sleep
is sufficient for you. If you can't
arrange to get more than that at
night, try taking afternoon maps, if
possible. Sleep is tremendous aid

The Life of Marian Anderson was
presented recently at the Cambridge
Y.W.C.A. by the Marian Anderson
Club. This club consists of a group
of fine young ladies. They did their
own research work and then the story
was put together with the assistance
of Miss Jean Edwards, a Y.W.C.A.
worker of Boston.
The continuity of the dramatization
on the Life of Marian Anderson was
magnifcently done. 1t was the smoth-
est piece of work l have seen among
our group. Miss Anderson sent a
telegram wishing the club much sue
cess, very fine gesture on her part
and one l am sure the club will cher
ish. We hope to see this splendid life
portrayed over and over again.
Dropped over to Cambridge, Mar
