The usual answer to her second
question Is mo-" But II the FAM

to leave things as they are II the
better plan.
Leaving the Brides Family Out
Dear Mira Post; Ny niees has
lived with me for several years.
She Is not very proud OF her fam
lily, and can't blame her. But she
has risen In spite Of them. She
Is marrying a very fine young man
whose family at first objected TO
the marriage. But after they knew
my niece they accepted her on her
own merits. OF course, l am Civ
ing her the wedding. but the ques-
ton is, why must she have her
family come to II at allf In my
opinion. she ought TO have the
right to happy wedding day. and
I don't even see why she has TO
publicly acknowledge her family
on this one day. when they have
done nothing Cor her except to dis
grace her name, and have for
many years left the care of her
to me. Under such circumstances
would leaving them out be unfor-
givable.
Answer: The only question seems
to be that Of whether Reputation
of her family would leave both
you and her open to criticism.
OF course I do not know what
they may have done. but IT does
not sound possible to have a we'd
ding In her home town and not
invite her own parents. II there
are one or two whom she is afraid
might create a disturbance on the
day Of her wedding, she might try
to have some one responsible see
that they remain at home. Other
wise. II seems to me, the only
thing TO do would be to have q
very quiet wedding away from
home.

IF YOU are seeking drama, thrill
L and adventure in fashions realm,
read on and you will get all three,
for it's exciting news we are about
to tell you. For sheer breathtaking
news what could be more so than
to announce balbriggan embroidered
with glittering jewels and silver
threads as fashions latest whim.
Which goes to show to what ex-
tremes designers will go to achieve
the new and the beautiful in cos
tune design.
The charming dress pictured to
the left tells the story, in that it is
fashioned of simple balbriggan en-
riched with sparkling diamond en-
broidery interworked with silver
thread. And very significant fash
ion it is, for it carries the message
that embroidery worked on knitted
fabric and wool Weaves is highly
important news for midseason and
the months to come. Note the peg
top skirt with its pocket detail.
Which is more news and vastly i'm
portant for this is the silhouette in
versatile Interpretation you will be
seeing throughout the spring style
parade.
See the very elegant evening en-
semble centered in the group. The
material is champagne flannel en-
bellished with gold applique and en-
broidery. The decollette neckline
is softly shirred in front and goes
low in the back. 1t is the jacket
dress of this type and others equally
as interesting that has become the
theme among themes in the fashion
world for evening wear. A spider
web snood of cold thread, together
with black gloves and bag give
dramatic accent.
If you are in society you perforce
must have one or more stunning eve
ming wraps. The newest turn of
fashion is to make your formal floor
length coat of a handsome wool ma
terial. White tweed is tops and
there are also choice f1annels, du-
The guardian., 1940-02-10

vetyns, broadcloths, repps and twills
that are well liked. The glamorous
white evening coat shown to the
right is typical of the new trend.
1t is in heavy white tweed with dis
tinctive gold kid applique and en-
broidery. Her evening accessories
are in gold, likewise the six buttons
that fasten the coat.
Speaking of embroidery on wool
the new treatment applies to day
time fashions as well as to evening
modes. The newest out are the cum
ming wool classics in pastel which
feature dresses tailored to perfec-
ton. Many of these have large
shapely pockets so gaily embroid-
cred they give color dash to the
entire costume. AS to the countless
wool sweaters, both sports and for
NAL types, their name is legion.
The neat black dress does not es-
cape the embroidery craze. Like a
blaze of glory colorful sequin en-
broidery illuminates sleeves, neck
1llGS dIlu OllGll IIlC WdlSlllllG, lOI IIlG
wide embroidered belt is an out
standing style feature. White bead
work on the black or navy dress is
also style-approved
Not only embroidery but all sorts
of surface decoration enhance fash
ionable apparel this season. Favor
for Trapunto quilted design is not
on the wane. Then, too, there is con-
siderable cording being done row
upon row, likewise stitching and fine
tucking. .
Very new indeed is the applique
of self wool fabric that is being
worked out on the new pastel frocks.
Flowers and other motifs are cut
out of the self wool material, then
worked on the bodice in various
ways. Fact is, designers are manip-
ulating the new and beautiful wool
ems with a display of originality and
imagination that is amazing. Per
haps this has come about in that
modern woolens are so all-intriguing
they challenge talent and genius to
give of their best in creating of
them fashions of surprising chic and
charm.

Daring Colors Are
Seen in New Mode

Describing sports ensemble
worn at a recent gathering of smart
ly dressed guests-the skirt, a pleat-
ed black model, the jacket in bright
fuchsia worn over violet sweater,
accessory touches including tur-
quoise costume jewelry and stun
ming draped turban done in Roman
stripes that picked up the various
colors throughout the costume. To
be sure a color ensemble like this
requires a master stroke of artistry
to carry it through successfully,
which brings us to the message we
would convey, namely that while
daring things are being done with
color in the new fashions, they are
carried out with the color sense of
a true artist to the extent that wom-
en- who follow in fashions footsteps
are developing a high sense of color
values. In fact this seasons modes
gives promise of being truly educa-
tional in color artistry.
The new duo-color costumes are
especially interesting that play one
color up against another fearlessly,
such as for instance navy with a
gray blouse and a gypsy tie girdle
in green and cerise. Pastels are
being contrasted after the same
manner. One designer uses pink
with blue satin for a charming
blouse.
