COULD SENSE DEFEAT
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1939-07-21

wv HEN it comes to the voguish-
w ness of prints versus pastels
in the present mode the matter re-
solves itself into pretty much of a
fifty-fifty proposition. Which is to
say that the midsummer collections
are made up of goodly showing of
each.
There is no doubt as to the inn
portance of pastels especially for
cleverly tailored daytime dresses
that observe nicely of detail which
gives them "class'' in the eyes of
discriminating women who know
their fashions. Favor for pastels
is expressed not only in silk crepes
and sheer woolens but a hue and
cry is resounding for smart linens
in delectable muted pinks and
blues, rose shades, cool-looking
greens and grays, light yellows, law
enders and novelty shades as cycla-
men, tulip shades and such. White
linens and linens au natural are
also chic.
One reason for the big splurge
that linens are making this season
is that through the wonders Of mod
ern scientific processing newer lin
ems carry a promise of nom
wrinkling and non-shrinking.
At the top of the picture to the
left see the attractive spectator
sports dress of pastel blue crease
resistant imported linen. It has one
of the very smart umbrella-tucked
skirts. A belt braided in matching
blue, fuchsia and yellow silk floss
says color in unmistakable terms.
The boutonniere is of self-linen and
the cunning poke bonnet is of white
straw.
The dress to the right in the back
ground of this group is of hubby
sheer, pure linen in a delectable
shell pink. Fitted waistline and
sleeves cleverly appliqued with con-

trasting bands of periwinkle blue
and strawberry linen are highspots
in its styling. Sunburst tucks at the
neckline, and impressed pleats in
the skirt, are also significant de-
tails. Every dress with jacket is
fashions decree this season which
accounts for matching shell pink
bolero which you carry or which
you wear according to pomp and cir
cumStanceS.
Before leaving the linen theme,
just word in regard to the smart
looking redingotes tailored of white
or natural linen which ladies of fash
ion are wearing over their lingerie
frocks this summer. They are a
modern version of the one-time hon
ored linen duster."
In regard to the silk prints that
are everywhere present, and which
are in friendly rivalry to smart
linens, there is a decided fair
among women who dress in the
height of fashion for patternings
that run to neat checks, and to
pfaids and stripes with nothing less
than stampede for dotted effects
of every description. AS the mid
season approaches suits of the new
check silks will come into play in
perfect fashion.
To the left in the foreground of
the illustration a fashionable miss
is wearing a smart frock for day
under the sun in the country. The
dress is of blue silk with white
pin dots. The collar piece is white,
likewise belt and buttons.
A gay and colorful evening gown
is shown to the right. 1t is of Scotch
plaid trimmed with lace. The
white organza blouse is also
trimmed with lace. The full floor
length skirt of gay print with dainty
lingerie shirtwaist is favorite eve
ming fashion formula.

does, against an employer; 1t Is
quite another thing for a union to
be organized to perpetuate govern
ment charity and to use that union
in a violent fashion as has been done
in this instance.
And, speaking of unions, there are

States. The first named is headed

Lloyd Leith. ! do not know the back
ground of either man, where they
came from or what their mission
in life may be. Of this, however, /
am sure: very few men and women
in this world of ours ever work for
absolutely no pay.
I wish that congress would dig
into those two organizations and see
how much these leaders are paid
and find out where the money comes
from. It is difficult for me to be-
lieve that either one of them or the
several dozen field men, and Sec
retaries and others with titles are
such lovers of humanity that they
are not being well paid for their
work. To believe that these men
are enulating Our Lord to that ex-
tent is stretching my credulity too
far. @

Play Suits Adopt
Little Girl Air

Some of the new play suits have
little-girl air. A 1899 variation of
the popular shirt, shorts, skirt COM
bination is made of gay floral
striped cotton, and links one-piece,

able skirt hemmed with a frill.

Tennis fans are choosing more
dresses than shorts for play this

shops reports. The smartest are

with brief gored or plated skirts
ending above the knee.

Enthusiasm Grows
For White Jersey

The practically of white jersey,
the smart appearance, the adapt
ability to sculptural draping and ex-
quisite tailoring has so impressed
designers they are expressing an
enthusiasm for it that knows no
bounds. Try out costume of jer-
sey and see what it does for you.
It will slenderize you,' it will be to
the touch the sort you ''love %
wear" The white rayon jersies es-
pecially come out after a Tubing
white as snow which is exactly
what every woman hopes for, even
longs for in her white costumes.

Why Is a Union Necessary
Among These Workers?
One might also inquire quite prop
erly, I think, why it is necessary to
have union among these workers.
I fail to see why they should spare
any of the meager funds that the
government gives them for living
purposes to be used by union lead
ers. Those fellows cannot do any,
thing to make congress change it's
mind. Oh! They can come to WASH
ington and they do - and issue
statements and shout threats before
congressional committees and see
their names in the newspapers, and
accomplish nothing. That is, they
get nowhere except that they are
able to. show the poor, wretched
souls on relief that their leaders
are great Fighters" in the cause.
While there never was a chance
of congress amending the law and
anyone with grain of sense must
recognize it, these self-appointed,
self-annointed saviors of the WPA
workers did succeed in calling
something like 10000 workers off of
their jobs in various parts of the
country. The result was that those
workers lost just that much money.
They also ran afoul of the Harring-
ton determination, which many of
them did not realize was not Hop
kins or Williams chin. Colonel Har-
rington promptly issued orders that
those who stayed away five days
would be replaced, because there
were thousands willing to work and
had no jobs. Obviously, that brought
good many back to their jobs.
Some others, however, let their pas
sion and unwise leadership of their
unions put them in a position of
cutting off their nose to spite their
face.
1t is to be noted, in passing, that
conditions now are somewhat differ
ent than when the policies of the
professional believers were opera
tive throughout the country. There
were numerous instances, it will be
recalled, when Hopkins and Miss
Perkins, secretary of labor, advised
that sit-down strikers should be fed
off of relief funds. State relief di-
rectors and state charity leaders
seem generally to have taken diff

Seems There Are Some Very
Stupid Local Labor Leaders

came close to getting involved in

the heads of those great unions were
