ions insist upon that piquant line
this spring.
This design is pretty for both
parties and every day. In taffeta
or silk crepe it will look just dressy
enough. In gingham, percale or
pique it will be just right for school
and play. It's so easy to make and
looks so attractive when finished
that you'll repeat it several times.

Decorated
Queen Anne

Early Georgian-not to be con-
fused with the late Georgian fur
niture designs, which included Chip
pendale, Sheraton. Hepplewhite and
Adam-was style development of
Queen Anne and has been called
Decorated Queen Anne. This period
in furniture designs ended for a
time the distinctly period designs in
English furniture; that is, the name
of furniture from a definite time
in history as represented by the
ruling power. Subsequent furniture
became more familiarly known as
styles" and was named for indi-
viduals who inspired them.

Dorothy Dix Says
Many and Devious Methods Used
By Girls to Get Their Man

Virginia propounds the riddle that
every girl tlies to guess between
the cradle and the altar. She wants
to know how a young lady can in
duce the man she wants to marry
to pop the all-important question
to her.
Alas, Virginia. I am no seeress
who is the seventh daughter of a
seventh daughter and who was born
in caul, so 1 cannot unriddle your
riddle for you. 1t would take MOTH
ing short of occult power to do
that. For while it is comparatively
easy to lead a man to the matri-
monial brink, it takes the magic
touch to push him over.
OF course, naturally you must
begin by studying your man, for
the tactics that will work on one
may be total failure on the other.
So size up your man and deter
mine whether he is romantic or
practical; whether he is domestic or
d 6OOu-tAllC SIldl uC, NllCIIlcI 1lC Is
shy or bold; whether he is sympa-
thetic or hard-boiled.
Also consider your background and
bide your time craftily until the
hour and the place and the woman
and the man meet. Many a man
has made his escape when the
bride was virtually over his head
because the woman rushed matters
when he was hungry. or had lost
money in the stock market, or his
dinner has disagreed with him and
for the time being he was soured
on everything in the world, includ-
ing marriage.
If he is practical, your theme song
should be the comforts of home and
that two can live as cheaply as one.
Play that as upon a harp of q
thousand strings. At first 1t may

not seem to make any impression.
but by and by it will soak in, and be-
fore he knows it he will be whis-
ting it.
You should have a home setting
of cozy domestic scene for the
domestic man. Feed him on dishes
cooked the way he tells you his
mother had them. and thus you will
be enabled to tole him. without his
knowing where he is going, into the
matrimonial fold
For the romantic man, on the
other hand. scenery is your dish.
Get him out into the moonlight 'un-
der the palms. or in conservatory,
or by the sad sea waves. with the
violin sobbing in the distance, and
if you can get him to quote poetry
to you, he is your man.
If he is shy, do the proposing
yourself and then tell him what a
surprise and how sudden this is,
He will be so scared he will never
know the difference. But play in
different with the bold man. He
only wants what he thinks he can't
have. and he will never ask you to
marry him unless he thinks some
other man is going to beat him to it.
For the sympathetic man you
have only to burst into tears and
weep on the second button OF his
vest to get him. But the hard
boiled man only succumbs to hard
cash. and if you want him to pro-
pose to you, your bank book is your
best friend.
OF course, it is a shame that
women can't come out flat-footed
and ask a man, will you be mlne?'
But inasmuch as they can't, they
have to work under cover until. like
the mounted police, they get their
man. DOROTHY DIX.

and flared skirts all help to create
the impression of youth. In addi-
ton. a great many tucks are used
on the little girl" styles, some with
entire bodices done in this manner.
Sleeves are generally straight, with
interesting shoulder details: collar
less styles are popular. OF course,
untrimmed coats are by far the
smartest this season-which is really
a blessing. Goats are finer in detail
and fabric, sparing us the horrors
of not-so-good fur.
Even though they do not play the
leading role, fabrics are worthy of
note this year. New York advocates
gabardines, but here-and we're be-
ing different again-the favorite is
twill. smooth material that is both
substantial and not too heavy for
our Washington climate. Tweeds,
of course, are ever good for sport
coats and the gay, colorful ones are
a joy to those who need a wrap of
this description. Lightweight wools
continue to be popular, but the
spongy type of wool is not particu-
larly in favor. An interesting new
fabric has a sort of invisible check
worked into it, and one coat done in
this material has v neckline
piped in white, leather belt. gathers
at the waistline and a full, flared
skirt. The material is bit unusual
and very lovely.
Definite Ideas
To Remember.
Impossible as it is to name all the
types, colors and fabrics that will
be worn this year, these character
istics stand out in the picture for
spring. and a few definite ideas on
assembling your costume might
prove helpful. Remember that dark
coats-black and navy-are for town
wear; colorful tweeds for sport. Ex-
pect to see touches of color on the
majority of new styles-either done
in the form of flowers, scarfs or
piping. Look for belts on a great
number of coats-they accent your
tiny waistline and the fullness of

sories to complete your outfit. but
don't try to match more than two
or possibly three. Match your shoes
and bag, veil and gloves or any two
other accessories. Never wear high
cut shoes with your town coats, for
you are trying to carry out the idea
of urbanity. Choose a white sailor
with dark yelling to wear with dark
coats and add frilly, white lingerie
touch to peek out of the coat.
The coat picture for spring is an
interesting one-full of new ideas
and resplendent with the contrast of
somber and gay colors. Remember
when buying your spring coat that
it should have certain qualifications
of variability, usefulness in the
coming seasons, attractiveness and
compatibility with the rest of your
clothes. And then you're ready for
a frivolous spring!

that the local girls have minds of
their own.
For instance. navy, says New York,
is the outstanding color in coats
In fact, their releases state, seven
out of every 10 women seem to be
adopting this color to wear in the
Easter parade. But here black is
still by far the leading color. with
navy fair second. Beige and gray,
SO popular elsewhere, are running
a pretty poor third and fourth with
District of Columbia damsels.
And there is the color situation
as it stands. OF course, even though
we are still clinging to black-in
spite of the reams of literature that
have been written about color this
season-we are adopting the vogue
for bright hues in our accessories.
Dark ensembles frightened by fire.
mans red, chartreuse. bright blues
and a number of other shades are
bound to be attractive and definitely
smart. Accessories such as enors
nous bags, perky and utterly ridicu-
lous hats, gloves. shoes and scarfs
all carry out the idea of color
which is some consolation to poor,
downtrodden fashion writer's.
Silhouette Most
Important Point.
Contrary to former years. silhou-
cites play a far bigger part in spring
coats than do fabrics. Refers are
very important, as are boxy styles
Fitted coats are particularly popu-
lar. many hugging the figure to the
waistline and ending in a full skirt.

predominates the fashion scene for
spring is emphasized in coats. too,

Eye Shadow
Enhances
A Clever Makeup
Permits You to
Wear COlOrs
BY PATRICIA LINDSEY.

Paris cables color for spring"
New York takes up its echo. New
fashions promise to be the gayest
and most colorful with no limit to
the shades or tones you might wear
To those of you who feel that
only one particular color is becom-
ing, this is not good news. You
Shudder to think of introducing sew
eral bright colors in your new ward
robe. You think, perhaps. that be-
cause you have blue eyes you
should wear only tones of blue.
And in way you are right.
Wearing the colors which compile
ment your eyes is usually a good
rule to follow. But with the new
eye makeup available you can Gre
ate the illusion of having green
eyes, blue eyes, hazel eyes or any
color you wish. This is done by
blending a shadow which is shiny
on your eyelid and then dressing
up to it!
! One of the most convenient eye
makeup gadgets available is baby
lipstick-an intriguing little device
which enables you to apply eye
shadow conveniently and quickly.
Six nicely blended shades and nat
ural are yours from which to
choose. If you have two or three
shades you can play around lot
with your eyes and get some inter-
esting effects.
If you are the type who felt you
could never wear soft yellow green,
for instance, in spite of the fact that
you have rich coloring, you should
shadow your eyes with the green
shade and see what happens! I'll
bet you could get away with the
lovely new color.
In making up your eyes, expert
menting will teach you that with
a natural base (similar to vaseline)
you may blend in another shade of
eye shadow so that it will be almost
imperceptible but will give your lids
lustrous appearance, and will key
up with the color you want to wear.
And the result is more than flatter-
ing.
The natural stick Is simply grand
for daytime-unless you are the very
exotic type. The other shades
should be used very sparingly when
you wish to wear them in the broad
daylight-but you may wear them
much more intensely when you dress
up for an evening party!
You may also like the colored
mascaras for your lashes but I per-
sonally like either the dark brown,
blue or black. And I like to see
even those colors used sparingly!
How about that figure? Do
you need some specific exercises
for it? Tell me where you want
to build up or reduce and I will
