60 LITTLE MISSY and Miss
- Sweet Sixteen are dated up for
just one party after another this
summer? Hearts set all a fiutter
as to delectable gowns that will
make young moderns look pretty
as a picture? Which leads up to
the why and wherefore of the ac-
companying illustration. This group
of adorable party frocks conveys
an all-important style message in
regard to summertime party frocks,
namely that of the supremacy of
fine silken sheer fabrics in the
mode.
The Weaves in the category of silk
sheers that are favored most in
clude silk organdies in white or pas
tells, marquisettes, mousseline de
soies, also either soft or starched
silk chiffons, frothy white silk tulles,
silk nets and of course the loveliness
of silk laces is not ignored. Not a
sheer in the above mentioned list
but that works like magic in ac-
centing the endearing young charms
of party-going young daughters this
season.
The outstanding characteristic of
the new sheer frocks is a quaint
ness that reminisces of Civil war
fashions. To give the ultra-feminine
look and the coy simplicity that pres
ent styling implies, designers are
indulging freely in such fetching de-
tails as flounces, dainty rufles, bow
knot or flower appliques, and the
newest gesture is the revival of
gay ribbons (supposed to change
the color of your ribbons to tune to
your moodD run through yards and
yards of beading, just like in the
old-fashioned days.
The majority Of party frocks look
very bouffant with their wide skirts,
and the most ultra models have

daguerrotypes portray, for the

UNHAPPY JO-ANN.
Dear Unhappy JO-Ann: Marriage
under any circumstances is the great
est gamble any individual takes in
life yet in your case the risk is double.
Double, Jo-Ann, because you fear GER
tain possibilities before they have
come in view. | appreciate, however,
your level-headedness in considering
many things before saying yes. Not
knowing the young man | am unable
to give definite answer but feel that
| have been fair in the one that |
would give. However, let's try it this
way-frst check up on these points:
what does he admire you for? Know
ing you to be older than he, what rea-
sons has he given for preferring your
company to that Of younger women?
Try and locate the basis for his affec-
ton for you. Then too, does his mind
run in serious channels, his interests
centered in home, or does he like to
be going all the time and mixing with
people. The former would be more
in your favor. Is he easily attracted
by women? Do women seek his COM
pany and attention? AS a friend you
can accept certain conditions and in
cidents but as his wife, could you?
For you to answer Eyes" to his pro-
posal it must be based on the reason
able amount of knowledge that you
have about him, his ways, and his
reasoning qualifications rather than
because you now love each other.
The guardian. [volume] (Boston, Mass.) 1901-1960, 1939-07-15

trend at present is more and more
to wasp waist silhouettes. The
flounce that fourished in Civil war
times have returned. .
Sometimes just one mee-deep
fiounce gives added fullness about
the hemline. Then again fiounces
are TERED one above another. The
old-fashioned way of heading the
founce with lace or embroidery
beading, through which colorful
beading has been run, adds to the
quaintness of present day styling.
In the lovely girlish frock to the
left the bow-knot applique done in
ribbon enhances the full skirt. The
little girl in the background has
her silk organdy dress similarly
fashioned, thus carrying out the
popular idea of sister fashions.
Frocks of this type are equally love
ly fashioned of either white or pas
tel chiffons or silk organizes.
The little girls in the foreground
are charmingly gowned. The dimin-
utive lace jacket worn, as shown
centered in the picture, is enough
to delight any little girls heart.
Very prettily styled is the other
little girls dress. 1t is made all of
lace with Fittings of self lace adorn-
ing the bodice top and outlining the
waistline.
A styling trend very noticeable in
the smartest new gowns is that of
the alI-over shirred waist. The new
sheers yield to this treatment very
pleasingly. The shirring can be cas-
lily done by the home dressmaker,
by loosening the tension of ones
sewing machine and lengthening
the stitch. Then when the machine
stitching is done pull the top thread
and even shirring will result. Thin
paper placed under chiffon while
stitching keeps material fiat. It
tears away easily.
