ors that are breathtaking in beauty.
If there is one sort of frock more
than another that will make dainty
little maiden look her prettiest
it is dress of iower-printed sheer
and to prove it the adorable child to
the left in the picture says inviting
ly, 'look at mel" She is wearing
a dress of fairyspun lawn, which,
being pre-shrunk, will wash like a
dream, and what's more the beauti-
full print is fast color, assured by
the use of vat-dye. You can get
these dainty, sheer lawns in the
newest color schemes, both in flow
cred and conventional patternings.
The shops show dresses made up
that are surprisingly inexpensive,
and so pretty you will want several.
Which all goes to show the chic,
the charm and the dependable wear
ableness of the wash materials that
go to make up the new showings.
By the way, had you heard that ging-
ham is making style-high fashion
news for spring and summer? Not
only are little girls wearing it with
their usual enthusiasm for this ever
attractive and colorful wash weave,

1T is no wonder that smart cot
tons and other wash materials
have attained to dizzy heights of
style prestige, which is especially
true this season, for they are amaz-
ingly lovely and versatile, and tune
to every occasion, formal or infor-
NAL.
However, their attractiveness is
by no means their chief lure, for
the really grand and glorious thing
about most modern Washables is
the promise they carry of being both
fast color and non-shrinkable. Mod
ern science has worked miracles
in this particular. Which should be
particularly encouraging to mothers
who are Quitting little daughter
with pretty new dresses for spring
and summer. For peace of mind it
is only necessary to demand, when
buying wash materials, the kinds
that carry non-fade and non-shrink
assurance.
The materials that go to make up
the charming dresses pictured take
on added interest when you know
they will not fade neither will they
shrink. For everyday wear in class
room and happy carefree hours
of the day the shirtmaker dirndl
type dress shown to the right
couldn't help but satisfy the pride of
most any little style-alert girl. 1t
is made of a sanforized-shrunk Stub
broadcloth in a smart triple stripe
design, with white collar and trim
on the sleeves.
Shopping in wash-fabric sections
these days is as refreshing an expe-
rience as walking through gardens
abloom with spring flowers. The
Swiss wolfe florals especially make
you feel just like that, they are so

A few weeks ago I wrote an article
on beauty culture in India and as sew
eral readers have expressed interest in
Ihe subject [ shall continue it in this

pay several stringed instruments with
ueep gourds that resound within them

Lhe Joy OF life must come from within

from flowers of the forest trees. In the
songs she sings to her future husband,
she tells of these illicit garlands. =.
Another elegant art is the dressing and
OrnamentatiOn of hair, for the women
of India ar known for their glistening
black hair enhanced by innumerable
brilliant ornaments. Professional dane
ing girls wear jewels in their hair but
other women must only wear flowers.
They are often intertwined in the hair
but more often the flowers are strung
together and fastened over the chignon.
The flowers they use not only look gla-
mOrous but read enchantingly: Chains
of jasmine blossoms arranged around
dark roses, bands of pure white roses,
champak flowers, water lilies, and bril-
liant jungle flowers. When women
guests visit in India, they are taken
directly to the "zenana" (their private
section Of the house,. Here the hostess
and her maids fix the guests hair; they
try to find out before hand what dress
the guest is to wear; if she is wearing
white, they usually have white flowers
ready for her, etc. Cooking is
combination of several of the arts. The
art of flavoring sauces is one which is
acquired with experience; it takes years
of observation before bride learns at
what precise minute to add the mint,
soaked in lemon, to the coconut rind,
for instance. The wearing Of jewelry
is a complicated art. Certain kinds of
ornaments can be worn by married
women only. The marriage necklace of
black and gold must never be removed.
Unmarried girls must only wear ban
giles on the lower arms; bangles worn
above the elbow are the sign of ma
iron. Often the heavy pure gold brace
lets worn by women weigh pounds =.
Anent the art of conducting a quarrel
a large volume has been written on the
subject. The art that requires the long
est training is that of discriminating
COLOR. Every woman must be able
to tell at glance the difference between
lily color, camphor color and white.
These facts should provide us with food
for thought; for here in the good ole
U.S.A. a bride thinks her prospective
groom is getting a prize package if she
is able to fry a couple Of eggs and to
wipe dishes without breaking every
third one, nest ce pas?

Spring Costumes
In White Accents
Striking Venture Fashion Is
Is Procloiming.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

There is always in each season
some one fashion that stands out
pre-eminently. This year it is a
striking venture that fashion is pro-
claiming far and wide To be ex-
plcit the big idea just now is that
OF white accents with the costume
done in a dramatic spectacular way.
Just to give some specific idea let
your mind vision a navy costume
with which is worn navy hat that
is almost hidden under a mist of
white dotted yelling brought over
the crown down to the throat where
it ties in huge bow. White gloves,
white boutonniere and white collar
and cuff set or white gilet or bib
must be added. White, frilly white
petticoat too, if you please, and so
planned that its eyeleted embroid-
cred frills peak from under the wide
hemline of the navy swing skirt.
White hats with dark costumes are
definitely smart this spring, either
of straw, felt, ribbon or fabric.
These hats are apt to be trimmed in
black tulle or be banded or crowned
in stripes matching a gay noncha-
liant handbag of stripes.
There's no end to the story of
frothy white touches for the cos
tune. The biggest sensation, per-
haps, is the dainty white lingerie
"baby blouse" Everybody's going
to wear them and Soma arc met too
sweet for words, with their fine,
tiny tucks and lace edgings adding
pretty frilliness all the way through.
1t doesn't matter how severe your
new black or navy tailored suit or
your classic basic dark frock may
be dolled up with white accents,
collars, cuffs, jabots, gloves and so
on, it takes on infinite feminine
charm.

REMINISCING WITH ANN


"Miss Betty's Tea Party" an orr
"inal playlet written by Mrs. Ara
minta E. Mckenzie of Cambridge, fur
nished an interesting evening at the
Union Baptist Church Tuesday night.
1t gave one the feeling of being right
in the party listening to the cold
maids" and widows dreaming over a
Mr.. Sawyer, new conner in town.
Each in turn was sure she would be-
come his wife and occupy the lovely
home made beautiful by their various
suggestions.
But had Miss Betty listened to the
talkative child who tried so hard to
tell her, much embarrassment might
have been saved later, however, the
suspense was the play.
The second part of the evenings
entertainment was in the guise of a
Ladys' Aid Society meeting. The
business of the evening was postponed
in favor of a concert featuring guest
artists, Georgia Williams Bailey
Mabel Coleman Owens, violin; Irene
Cooper Abercrombie, vocal; and Mrs
Riley, reader. There was large and
appreciative audience.

Dear Friend:
My problem is that when | give my
wife money 20 pay the bills with, oft
times she will come home with some
other purchases that she couldn't resist
buying. Of course | could pay the
bills, myself, but my hours are such
that it would not be convenient and
| feel that she should do her share in
helping me to try and make ends meet.
III every incident, it is practically the
same story and l have talked until
am blue in the face. Is there any pos
sible solution to this kind of problem
and if so, please tell me?
Dear X. j. of Boston: There is one
thing certain, you cannot keep ahead
of your bills if you let them do all the
running. However, | am at loss as
to what to say. since you have talked
until you are blue in the fece and
don't know what you have said. What's
more | didn't hear how you said it.
Surprising as it may seem, we could
accomplish more at times if we
weighed our words before uttering
them and noted the reactions of the
other fellow while we spoke. Was our
voice harsh, screechy, belligerent or
persuasive, considerate and winning :?
Were our actions domineering, bossy,
critical or kind, appealing and under
standing? 1t is true that she is at
fault but to gain your objective you
have to be diplomatic in your speech
and actions. l would suggest that
hereafter you stress the Importance
of that certain bill being paid because
her not doing so hurts your credit and
standing Tell her that Won arn de-

New Spring Slips
Named Whisper

Whispering campaigns have in
vaded the lingerie field.
New rayon slips, called whisper"
because of their feminine swish, are
among the lingerie styles for spring.
Gowns styled like evening dresses,
with voluminous skirts hanging
gracefully from shaped girdle bod
ices; rayon fabric gowns with long
jackets in smock style and Nah
Jong characters in printed pajamas,
are among the nightwear introduce
lions.
Four-gore bias slips, with smooth
fitting waists and fiaring from the
hipline to wear beneath full skirts,
are being shown. Novel cording on
the slips keeps the hemline from
sagging, without undue bulk.

Hot Shapes Most
Important Item

This spring the shape of hat will
be more important than its trim
ming. Straws are spreading out,
enormous brims in odd shapes-pa-
lettes, or shovels or fans. Others,
halo style, are tied on with ban
danas, nanny style. Doll hats-if
you still like 'em-in straw with
stiffly starched wells; the inevitable
school girl sailor; felts, their crowns
blocked in odd shapes; straws with
brims like royal crowns, will all
be good

There is no single article in milady's
makeup kit which gives ner such a
lift as lipstick, 1t briqhtens her in
side and out, You have all had the
experience of looking at yourselves
in the mirror and thinking, "My, how
drab | look" and feeling drab as a
result. Then, automatically, you
reach for your lipstick and you look
alive apain, and feel better too. That
dash of red across your face colors
your spirit as well as your mouth.
But don't take the word dash" too
literally. Unfortunately, too many of
you do. You slap a line of lipstick
across your face while mentally plan
ming the grocery list, deciding what
you will wear today, or wondering if
YOU will be late for work. And as a
consequence YOU look more like a
clown in three-ring circus than a
well-groomed lady of fashion.

with a skirt of soft brown. The
