The revival of the ornate dressy
blouse reflects the influence of the
gay nineties. See the model in the
upper left corner of the picture. In
creating this lady-type blouse for
dinner or cocktail hours Lanvin al
ternates bands of black silk geor-
gette and val lace finishing it off
with highland neck and turnover
collar.
The revival of the white blouse
with the dark suit is one of fash
ions top-most highlights. The Glib
son girl blouse pictured above to
the right is in white silk organdy
with lace-trimmed jabot coming
high at the neck. The bishop sleeve
with it's lace-trimmed frill at the
wrists give this blouse the new look
that is copied from the old.
For the be-frilled and lace edged,
tucked and finely hand-worked white
blouse now so fashionable, thin silks
such as silk organdy or silk triple
sheers that will wash we'll and keep
their whiteness are highly recon-
mended.
Perhaps the biggest sensation in
the present vogue is the white peas
ant blouse with ull-to-the-wrist long
sleeves that gather into tight band
such as are worn with the very
new gypsy skirts fashioned of vivid
striped or plaid silk. For this blouse,
designers use washable white silk
chiffon or white silk organdy with
gratifying results.
In the color madness that has
gripped the world of fashion blouses
are playing dramatic role. Surah
silk is a great favorite, printed or
plain, stressing chartreuse, fuchsia,
yellow gold, rust, violet, mustard
and citrus colors.

New Hdirdress Is
Becoming Popular

A new hairdress covers the entire
head in flat curls that remind of
a boyish bob. 1t is very youthful
and is referred to as the little girl"
hairdress. The high-do for hair is
seen less in the daytime but still
persists for formal occasion. At the
immediate moment hair worn page
boy fashion is popular. A pleasing

Cheddar Traces History
Into the Forgotten Past

Situated on the Great Western
railway about 20 miles from Bristol
(where the Venetian John Cabot and
his son Sebastian sailed forth in
1897 in the good ship Matthew to
discover the mainland of North
America), Cheddar traces its histo-
ry back into forgotten past. Its
name is derived from the old Gaelic
'Ced," meaning prominent brow,
or height" and "dwr," meaning
water" says the Detroit News. Lo-
Gated on the River Ched, this an
cient town glorifies the letter &C."
cheese, and cliffs; caves and cav
ems; and the chasm; the Gothic
church, and the 200-year-old Mar
ket Cross; cabbages and cider.
The limestone hills to the east of
Cheddar are pierced by the famous
Gorge, with cliffs rising sheer $50
feet above it's dry river-bed. Dry,
for the streams that flow in this
limestone region are subterranean,
honeycombing the hills with fam
tastic stalactite caves. Clothed for
the most part in a growth of ivy,
mountain ash and yew, the Cheddar
cliffs present the finest scene OF
this kind in the British Isles.

WHEN it comes to drawing the
w crowds it's the blouse sections
that are doing it these days-most
exciting blouse season known for
years.
The main reason for this SIAM
pede in the blouse direction is that
suits rank ace-high in Importance
this spring and as every woman and
her sisters and her cousins and her
aunts we'll know, the proper upkeep
of a suit calls for one chic blouse
after another. However, the fact
that suits are ''tops' this season is
not the only reason for the mad
rush blouseward that is going on.
It's the blouses themselves that are
the magnet that draws, from the
standpoint of fstyle" color and ma
terial they are simply not to be
resisted.
The interest displayed in sterling
pure silk weaves for the blouse this
season is especially significant. Sim
ply tailored blouses like the one
shown below to the right in the il
lustration are indispensable with
your tweeds. This model, a Lelong
creation, is tailored of a heavy ex-
otto silk crepe in rich deep red. It
has a tucked shirt front fastened
with leather thongs that clasp into
gilt "croquet wickets.'
Collarless jacket suits frequently
have the jacket lined in the same
silk print (jacket is often reversi-
ble) as fashions the blouse. Dotted
silks are the rage for this sort of
styling. If it is something out of
the ordinary you are wanting to
fit into the scheme of things take
note of the stunning "bib blouse"
pictured to the left below. It clas-
sites under ingenue or schoolgirl
type, which does not mean that it
is restricted to teen-age wear, for
it's the fashion to wear young look
ing clothes this spring that belle age

Star Dust
X Charlie Is Taken Down
X Politics Promotes Ann
X Orchestra Leaders All
BY Virginia Vale

DEOPLE in New York are
i still talking about Charlie
McCarthy's first week there.
In fact, a new aristocracy
sprung into being; it's mem
bers were the people who had
actually gone to the first
broadcast (tickets were
scarcer than hens teeth),
and they are still high-hatting
their friends who couldn't get
in, and running perfectly good
luncheons and dinner parties by
insisting on telling about how cute
Charlie is.
"You simply have to see him to
appreciate him." they declare,
which is rather hard on the people
who have never seen Charlie and
probably won't get a chance, as
Edgar Bergen is too busy for per-
sonal appearances.
Charles kidnapping, one evening,
by the amusement editor of one of
the newspapers, very nearly stirred
up lot of trouble. The famous
little man is insured for $4,000.
Bergen was so worried that after
Charles temperance he took to
taking Charlie apart and hiding him
in sections.
Ann Sheridan has sort Of crept
into stardom by the back door, al
though she deserves the promotion.

her, and studio politics are involved.

Cottons Have New
Roles This Sprinu

Cottons have new roles in the Gre
alton of spring fashions. Pique and
linen, for example, are used for
white toques and sailors to wear
with navy blue suits. These fabrics
also are important for collar and
cuff sets that are attached to dark
evening dresses. Gloves also are
being made of these washable ma
terials.
Bingham accents are equally as
popular and unusual in their appli-
cation to newest costumes. Plaid
Bingham pipings appear as trim
ming on navy blue REFER suits and
also make matching blouses.

Warner Brothers, and it's an old
studio custom to play down the de-
parting star, since advertising him
just means that you're promoting
property that will soon belong to
somebody else.
So the charming and hard-work-
ing Ann gets big billing in this one,
after five years of doing her best
with whatever roles came her way.
Katherine Hepburn is doing very
we'll indeed in her new theatrical
venture, "The Philadelphia Story"
although it has not, at this writing,
been given the acid test of presen-
tation in New York. Apparently
Miss Hepburn still cherishes some
affection for the screen; she has
bought the film rights to the play
and will do it herself before the
cameras eventually.
Nowadays it seems that every
body who can't get job feels that
the answer to the unemployment
problem is becoming an orchestra
leader. Prize fighters, millionaires,
tap-dancers, movie stars-all are
more than willing to step in front
of a band and wave baton. But
it's a rare thing for a man who
works with his hands to become an
orchestra leader-Russ Morgan is
about the only exception to the rule.
He's an ex-cOal miner, you know.
He worked in the Nanticoke Mine,
near Scranton, Pa, until the FORE
man fired him for playing from
bone in his spare time. The fore
man happened to be his father.
Today he is one of the top bracket
orchestra leaders. Before he was
twenty-one he had written arrange
ments for such famous musical men
as John Phillip Sousa and Victor
Herbert.

"WHITEWASHING"

Last week Judge Skiman declared that the
police officials were trying to "Whtewash" the bru-
tally charges in the case of Frank Robertson. AL
though Robertson is known to have criminal record,
the judge and all reasonable certainly realize
that Roberson record does not give the police license
to beat him up. 1t must be made unequvocally clear
that the police department is not court and that
patrolmen not judges nor it their duty to pun
ish criminals The wilful and malicious beating which
the police take it upon themselves to administer to
prisoners is in itself crime and should be prosecuted
Judge Mckay Skillman knows very we'll that the
police officials lying in their teeth, and that
if the facts were ever really known, most of the
police would be sentenced to prison. 1t is discour-
aging fact to the officials utter sweet lies to the
daily press DENYING the brutality of their under
lings in the police department The daily press also
has taken stupid attitude in the whole contro-
versy. We read now that after ALL some of the Grim
lnals are so bad that the cops just have to hit them
over the head sometimes. This same stupidity on the
part of the daily press was exhibited when the
American Civil Liberties Union rated Detroit as very
poor in the matter of civil liberties The daily press
did not believe it, although the American Civil Lib
critics Union cited cases to prove their point
1t seems that the policy of the police department
is tied up so closely with the vested interests of De-
trolt and the administration that it is futile to pro
test the actions of the department The one oppor-
tunlty we have left lies in the oustng of those pub
lie officials who refuse to recognize the fact that the
police cannot and must not beat up civilians in order
TO satisfy their bloody lust It should be clear bv now
that none of the socaled friendly powers in Detroit
really care what happens in the police department
so long as only Negroes and poor whites are the
victims.

THE 1910 EXPOSITION

It was announced last week that EDDIE lolah' Oh
the National Youth Administration will assume the
executive dictatorship of the Seventy-Five Years Oh
Progress Exposition. Although there is much under-
current controversy about the new Job Tor the
Olympic champion we are earnestly solicitous about
the success of the 1910 exposition The citizens OF
Detroit can. and are eager to, contribute much OF
their time and resources toward the staging OF
mammoth fair here next year. Many people are
merely waiting the signal fer action in order to
boom the exposition of racial progress, which was
announced many months ago.
Inasmuch as there is but little time left in which
preparations can be adequately made for worth
while exposition, we are urging all organizations
and every individual who believes that he can con-
tribute something the success the exposition
to notify Mr. Tolan Immediately. The new offices
of exposition opened Monday at the Eben-
ezer A.ME church and according to reports, there
have been many encouraging developments within
the last few weeks
The creation of great exposition is a large and
challenging undertaking and there those who do
not believe in the intrinsic value of such enter
prise The few skeptics, however are only waiting
for demonstration of purpose and they will join
the bandwagon. Mr.. Tolan is eminently capable of
making the program brilliant success and he de-
serves our wholehearted support
