OF ALL the enthusiams taking
- the world of fashion by storm
this season, there is none that ex-
ceeds the mad rush that is now on
for gorgeously gay plaids and
stripes.
The showings in plaids and stripes
includes types for every occasion,
informal or formal. When you want
informality the biggest daytime hit
of the season is the richly colorful
wool clan plaids and If you are a
> connoisseur on plaids you can get
clan patternings and colorings that
are authentic. Robin Hood reds, for
est greens, golden yellows, radiant
browns and heather tones mingle in
: one grand splurge of gay color that
makes merry throughout the whole
program of fashion this season and
we mean just that for everything
from hats to bags, gloves to wear
with cloth coats and suits and en-
tire costume ensembles is being
made of plaid Cor stripes if you
please) this season.
AS to formal evening occasion,
have you seen the gorgeous metal
threaded silk and wool stripes that
are being made into jackets, blouses
and skirts for dine and dance wear?
If not, the joy of anticipation is
yours. The newest dinner dresses
contrast fabrics and colors after
the manner shown to the right in
the picture. In this instance the
skirt is of yellow jersey, topped with
a jacket-blouse of yellow metal cloth
horizontally striped in exotic green's
and orange, and stripes of glittering
gold weave.
A strikingly beautiful dinner gown
is pictured below to the left. The
shirtwaist top is of lustrous black
velvet. The long fiared skirt of
sheer wool is plaided in brilliant
tones of gold. green, cyclamen and

group; then trimmings may be
exchanged and every piece-bag
will produce something.
The diagram shown here gives
you cutting dimensions for the
skirt part of a plain little apron
and shows how to shape the waist
line. Belts for the bibless type
are rather wide now-two or two
and a half inches finished. Ties
are generally 4-inches wide and
as long as you like. Now, do be
daring when you come to pockets
or adding a bib. Try an idea of
your own. These gay unbleached
muslin aprons are just sugges-
tons to get you started.

Which reminds us that designers
are very enthusiastic in regard to
ornamental buttons, either large
and colorful like these, or veritable
jewel pieces in their settings of col

If there is a school-faring maiden
who has not turned plaid-minded
this season during this epidemic Of
plaids now sweeping through FASH
ion realms be it known that she is
certainly an exception to the rule.

outfits as that shown above to the

understands the reason why such a

Had you thought of Roman
striped wool jacket to wear with
different skirts, of dark monotone
wool? The biggest argument we
can make in favor of such a selec-
ton is the stunning style pictured
above to the left in the group. Here
is an example of the effective way
in which designers are working out
color alliances. Under this Roman
striped wool jacket this lady of high
fashion wears a chartreuse blouse
of silk crepe draped from a demure
neckline and rendered uneven at
the waistline by a black serpentine
belt. The plain skirt is of black
wool.

only a short step to the use of por-

do. They are, of course, much light

latter used for their resinous con-

eQ Dean was READY. ddflllelI SeII
Dean out yesterday with only three
days Of rest, and Dizzy was superb.
He pitched the Cubs to a I'll tri-
tmph over the Boston Bees.
Dean has four straight triumphs,
two over the Bees and one each
over Brooklyn and Pittsburgh. He
now has qualified to pitch against
first division club but he can't
until Hartnett gets permission
from the front office.
If there are any better pitchers
in the National league than Dean,
they'll have TO prove it in compe-
tition. He's pitched four games
and allowed three runs. In his lat
est triumph he let the Bees down
with six hits and had them on his
hip all the way. They say he has
only a glove and prayer, but
that seems to be enough.
Deans old teammates, the Cardi-
mails, took an LIS game from the
Phillies and cut the Reds National
league feat to five games.
Pittsburgh blew a Go lead but
finally came on to beat the giants,
