picture that bespeaks the very es-
sence of youth and beauty in fashion.
Color and charm from Victorian
flower garden are recaptured in the
purple and green silk print that
fashions the dress conferred in the
picture. Shirred detail gives a soft
ly fattering line to the bodice and
sunburst pleating in the skirt. The
two-tone grosgrain girdle is accent
ed by nosegay of flowers repeat
ing the theme of the silk print.
Speaking of millinery that has
gone sWeetly feminine, take a look
at the demure velvet-tied bonnet
which the young modern to the left
in the group is wearing. You can
tell at glance that this quaint
model is inspired by the lines of the
bonnets of Civil war days. Which
goes to show that old fashions are
repeating in new fashions this sea-
son, which is really striking char
acteristic of trends running through
out the entire gamut of present
modes. AS to the charming dress
she wears it is made of a "sani-
tized" silk print as are also each of
the other frocks shown, this being a
new process that deodorizes and
keeps your materials antiseptic
germ free and germ repellent).
The print glorifies a fuchsia color
theme. Pleating at the top of the
sleeves is released to puff the Shout
ders and the skirt is cut with be-
coming swing flare.
The printed silks fashionable for
evening wear are simply gorgeous,
the wallpaper-design flower motifs
are in some instances almost over
whelmingly enormous, achieving an
effect of imposing elegance. Another
important trend is toward rustling
plaid taffeta for formal party frocks.

Dear Friend: Would it make sense for
me to head straight into a wall when
my eyes are open and aware of where
my feet are taking me? Sounds silly,
but that is the position l find myself
in. About year ago l met a lovely
young lady and | have grown to care
quite bit for her. knew there had
been other fellows but | have been
living in hopes that l would interest
her to the same extent that she in
terests me. Quite by accident, found
that she is still carrying the torch for
friend of mine and | realize that
sooner or later l will let myself in for
some heartaches when. our friendship
will come to the point of choice be-
tween some other fellow and me.
There have been Incidents, as ] review
the past, where she has not been
truthful or frank with me. 1 find
myself in FOOLS paradise yet am re-
luctant to leave. Where have | failed
or what is there / can do, if it is not
too late JULIAN M.
DEAR JULIAN M: l am afraid that
you are too late. Too late ever since
YOU first met the young lady. l say
that, based on the fact that if she
ever could learn to care for you, no
one she knew in the past would be as
important today. To your opening
question, my answer is no. To be
forewarned is to be forearmed You
still have your pride, your friends,
and your work. Somewhere there is
a young lady who would make you an
ideal partner, friend or wife; Just be
patient and wait. But first, have a
definite understanding with the pres
ent young lady as to where you stand
in her estimation. Unless the situa-
ton calls for drastic change in your
relations, l would Suggest retaining
her friendship but not as her boy
friend. There is that one chance in
million that, after you become just a
friend, she may realize that you have
been more important than she thought
but had just taken you for granted,
like an old comfortable slipper She

White Is DeCreed
For Accessories
The Latest Edict Is Tuking
Fashion by Storm.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

White hats, white gloves, white
lingerie touches with your suit or
your dress is news that is simply
taking the world of fashion by
storm. And you are not supposed to
wait until late spring or summer to
wear white hat as heretofore was
the unWritten law. It's right now
that you top your costume with a
white chapeau. In fact, the white
hat started out on its style parade
together with the very first robin of
spring, and as the season advances
the stupendous call for white &C
cents for the costume gets more and
more so. ,
White frills that are fragilely sheer
at neck and wrist, peeping petticoat
frills of dainty eyelet embroidery,
white frothy bows and endless white
details are frosting dark costumes
too fetchingly for words.
This vast reaction to white is
noted especially in the exquisitely
dainty lingerie blouse which has so
completely captured the fancy this
oSooOL4-ollO Tie IIlduIGSS IOT WHITE
blouses is only at the start.
The inevitable white gloves" as
noted style commentator ex-
pressed it recently in describing new
fashion trends, along with white hats
came out at the very first call of
spring, even before heavy wraps
were discarded. If it's navy or
black dress, coat or suit you are
wearing the sure-fire way to give it
"class" is to enliven it with white
details which should include white
sailor hat, either straw or felt, that
is yelled in navy or black. Also
fashionable is the toque of white
violets or daisies or hyacinths to
which add boutonniere or corsage
of which repeat the flowers of the
hat. It's ever so good style to wear
white wells on black or navy hats,
too. Don't forget the final dramatic
touch for your costume, namely a
white flower at your wrist either on
your glove or worn attached to a
band in bracelet manner.

adorable they can make woman
kind look in distractingly lovely
frills and furbelows, in fashion whim-
sizes that beguile, in colors radiant
and gay together with all the vain
glorious little details that bring to
full bloom the endearing charms of
the Wearer.
Fashions this spring and for sum-
mer are of the pretty-pretty sort
that men delight in seeing their
ladies wear The provocative col
orings, the daintiness of frail ruff
fes and Immaculate touches that
futter about throat and wrist, the
fattery and mystery of whimsical
wells that half conceal, half reveal
the witchery of her eyes, the glamor
of her jewels and amusing costume
gadgets, the loneliness of the flowers
she wears-beaux and bachelors be-
ware, there's danger in them there
trends of fashion!
If there is one costume more than
another that is essential to the ''pic-
ture" this season it is the gown of
winsome, overwhelming silk print to
which a hat that rates high in
glamor plays dramatic accompani-
ment. See a trio of just such por-
trayed in the Illustration. They
stand for all that is utterly feminine
and charm-full in the current fash
ion scene.
Paris says "horizontals" as shown
to the right in the pretty-pretty
printed silk sheer featuring bands
of realistically colored flowers, full
blown roses to be explicit, that con-
trast dark ground alternating with
narrower bands in light monotone.
The full skirt, topped with two
tone grosgrain that ties in a bow,
is attuned to slim lines by means of
full length side pleats. The horse

fetching and youthful hat is held in
