FABRICS may come and fabrics
may go but ever-lovely, ever-fat-
tering silk prints will live on in
the affection of the fashion world
forever. When an unexpected last
minute invitation bids you hurry and
join in bridge party at your neigh
bors; or a voice over the phone says
Meet me in an hour at the club
for dinner" or your sorority club
calls for an impromptu get-together
luncheon in honor of an unexpected
out-of-toWn guest, We'll wager that
it's the gay little silk print frock
that answers the momentous what
to wear question for most women.
In regard to the three silk prints
in the illustration, they are decided
ly pace-setting fashions. Recently
second semi-annual fashion semi
mar was successfully staged by Am
ena Elliott Webster in Chicago. The
vast audience at this all-day ses-
sion which drew teachers and stu
dents in home economies from
schools and colleges, and members
of women's clubs and various or
CARNATIONS from near and far, was
thrilled with a very style-revealing
and highly educational number on
the program which featured TEX
tiles Yesterday, Today and Tomor-
row." Included in the fashions that
went on parade in this noteworthy
fabric demonstration were the origi-
nails of the modes here pictured
which, be assured, gives these prints
of pure silk unquestioned style pres
tige.
The high spot about the dress and
coat ensemble to the right is the fact
that bowknot silk crepe fashions it,
and boWknots, you must know, are
tremendously important throughout
design this season. If you are in
quest of new silk print ask to
see bowknot patternings. They're
the latest! The dress features a
gathered yoke of twin print sheer,
and the simple coat is a heavier
