For dinner or daytime dates"
pale pink silk chiffon over-blouse
(the very new and smart type fin
ished with band that fastens over
the skirt belt line) is shown above
to the right. A solid tucking back
and front, together with gold en-
bellished glass buttons, bespeak
style for this dainty blouse. A roos-
ter head in gay colors with cog
feathers trim the pill-box hat, which
is significant in that wing, feather
and bird trimmings, milliners tell
us, are quite the smart idea this
season.
Regarding the blouse shown below
to the right, the spontaneous impress
sion one gets at first glance is the
formal elegance of this model, and
rightly so, for it is just that, ele-
CANT and formal. 1t glorifes black
velvet daytime suit. In the eve
ming wear it with a copper-colored
metal cloth skirt and you will be
dressed to the queens taste. 1t is
made of sumptuous white satin, pat
termed with delicate tracery done
in copper. The perky bow ties, the
long fitted sleeves and the deft use
of shirred fullness are distinctive
style touches.
In the panel to the left behold a
costume of the present suit and
blouse trend. The jacket and skirt
are of black wool with hubby self
stripe. The blouse is of fine faille
silk in the new blue that reminds of
royal. 1t has a clever group-shir-
ring down each side of the front
stressing the current trend to
achieve soft fullness through artful
stirring.

New Jewelry Ideas
Are Cropping Out

Gold jewelry accents on black are
still the outstanding fashion. How
ever, new jewelry trends are devel-
oping. One of which is the increas-
ing favor expressed for silver neck
laces, bracelets, clips, buttons, belt
buckles and other gadgets. Huge
silver-wrought lockets suspended
from silver chains are especially
good style.
There is also tendency to wear
white jewelry, moonstone settings
being in high favor. Many STYLE
alert women are wearing exquisite
diamond or rhinestone pieces espe-
cially with black or the new rich
wines and greens. AS for pearls,
they have held good right along and
still remain first choice with women
who dress quietly and with I'M

SUITS are in! And now for the up
y keep in the way of one flattering
blouse after another to wear with
the suit of your choice. For as we
all know it's the blouse that gives
"oomph..' to the suit.
One among many of the likable
things about the blouse is that it so
graciously fits into the scheme of
things, enters, so to speak, into the
mood of it's wearer, being formal or
informal, sportsy or dressy to suit
time and occasion. One cookbook
ing suit and wardrobe of versa
tile blouses and your clothes prob
lem is solved, for via a proper
blouse one can meet almost any
emergency in dress.
The world of fashion has gone
wildly blouse-conscious this season.
About the most exciting spot in shop
ping districts these days is where
blouse displays hold forth.
The revival of sterling quality
white satin for the blouse marks a
significant highspot in the present
program. See the smart white silk
satin blouse pictured below to the
left in the illustration. Note that
the sleeves are long and full, gath
cred into snug-fitting band at the
wristline. Sleeves in the new blouses
trend in three directions: short,
bracelet length or long, as here
shown. The silver necklace and
jewelry worn with this blouse add a
note of formal elegance.
Not only is white satin favorite
in the blouse realm, for satin blouses
in pastel tones are being shown in
tempting array.
Many of the latest models have
a yoke at the back with gathered
in full blouse effect below. With
the voluminous graceful long sleeves
and self-satin buttons down the front
youthful soft styling is achieved.

Old Fashioned
Hospitality

With Thanksgiving back of us and
winter ahead perhaps this is an ex-
cellent time to ask ourselves some
searching questions-to be answered
just by ourselves.
Do we as homemakers really en-
joy neighbors and friends? AS they
pass our house on our street do they
think of us with friendly warmth?
Or have we, perhaps unknowingly,
allowed ourselves to be so busy, so
concerned about the tasks of the
day that we have forgotten that aft
er all the biggest joy in living comes
because it is the privilege of each
one to Give in my house by the side
of the road and be a friend to man."

sively. And thinking that you might

Nations Birthday

The typical July Fourth celebra-
ton Of noise, bell ringing, bon
fires. etc. first became customary
because people felt SO very joyful
about the acquisition of their free
dom.
The people fought for their free
dom, because they believed they
could govern themselves better
than any king could do it for
them. The noble principles of the
Declaration of independence and
the Constitution indicated they
had reason for joy. A nation that
could frame a government based
on such enlightened ideas has a
right to it's independence.
These principles have been a
kind of beacon light showing our
people which way they ought to
travel. When they wandered off
the true course, and got stranded
on sands and shadows, the light
of these Nglkat Ideas told them
how to get back to the true direc-
ton again.
Free institutions do not work
themselves. They are not auto
matte machines that keep running
indefinitely. The people have to
take hold and make freedom work.
1t takes constant effort and vigi
lance to maintain the blessings Of
freedom.
If the American people are not
prepared to make that constant
effort and vigilance, they haven't
much to shout about on July
Fourth. If they will defend the
government from all who seek to
make wrong use of it, they should
feel lust as joyful on July Fourth
Of 1889 as the fathers did in 1916.
