Rayon jersey prints are having
tremendous success.
Pale blue also gray register as
smart colors in resort fashions.
Revival of military looking
shoulder-cape coats is in promise.
Lingerie collar and cuff sets
worn on suits is news for spring.
The trend is in favor of daz-
cling white for formal dance par
ties.
Midseason fashions feature
yoke treatments and blousad eff
fects.
Popularity of the yequin-
trimmed evening sweaters knows
no bounds.
New-type shirtwaist dress uses

sheer for the pleated skirt.

The black bengaline suit below in
the picture is up to tricks. 1t adds
an elephant tooth bracelet strung
on red beads to match thinks red
nails. Yes, if you are king, hi
jinks is the name of n~w red nail
polish. There is the same hijink
spirit in the heart-shaped hat. An
other fashion accent this season is
to wear lapel ornament to match
the finger tips (see pictured at top).
You can do this yourself, just touch
up any little trinket you want to
faunt on your lapel with the same
polish you use for your nails, or in
buying match it to the pink of your
nails. Nonsense ornaments in mini
allure may be anything from Miss
Gadabout's hero's ski-boots to his
fedora hat. Gadabout-pink by the
way is one of the latest color ac-
cents for nails.

Skirt
Late Style Touch

Cowl-like drapery is not limited
to necklines in the deliberately cut
gowns of this season. On an eve
ming frock of white silk jersey, the
skirt is cowl-draped from waist to
floor. The bodice of the dress is
gathered in graceful folds slanting
from right shoulder to left waist
line, with the drapery caught at
the center of the bodice by a sweep
ing wing embroidered in gilt beads
and gold sequins.

Pastel Wool FrOck
Fashion Favorite
Simple, Classic Lines Are
Feature of This Type.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

The new wool frocks in pastels
have taken the world of fashion by
storm. 1t is not only that the colors
are of devastating loveliness, but the
simple classic lines and exquisite
details make this type of dress If
resistible.
The time to begin to wear a new
pastel wool classic is right now,
for there's nothing in the way of a
midseason gown more attractive.
Then, too, these delectable col
ors are simply adorable under fur
coats and they will be even more
so worn with the short fur jackets
that have registered for spring.
Fashion is certainly speaking in
terms of pastels all the way through
this season. Many of the jacket and
skirt suits now in the height of style
for resort wear are tailored of pas
tel in doeskin type of wool fab
ric you'll love. You see these
charming suits in subtle beige
shades and in bon bon pinks and
blues, in pale grayish greens and
so on.
AS rule the classic frocks have
flare skirts Circular cut well-liked)
bodices high necked and simple to
an extreme, sleeves long and care
fully fitted. There is, however,
tendency in some instances to in
troduce clever touches of shirring
and the bracelet sleeve. There is
subtle use too of tucks, stitchings,
quilted motifs and other technique
that adds finesse but does not de-
tract from the simplicity of things.

BEAUTY and ROMANCE
BY MARIE DOWNING

will look twice at girl with fiawless
skin and cleaning black hair. And
if nature didn't endow you with all the
charms you need, don't hesitate to use
a bit of artifice. Be careful, however,
not to appear artificial. Your makeup
should match your skin tone so well
that he will be unable to tell where
nature stopped and science took over.
Select your makeup with care. Be
sure that the powder is properly
adapted to your skin type and tone.
And the same holds true for your
rouge and lipstick. Don't take just
any shade you happen to see on
counter. Shop around before you
make a purchase which may have a
lasting influence on your entire life.
And if your hair is drab and lifeless,
touch it up with a good coloring. 1t
never hurts to improve on nature as
long as the improvement looks like
natures own handiwork.
And don't forget to be neat and
clean and dainty. Keep your clothes
always neat and well-pressed. Don't
try to make something edo" Just one
more time, if it is in need of washing
or cleaning. And above all, be fresh
yourself. Use a good deodorant as
often as necessary. Never risk your
caution will guard it.
All in all, just let him think he's
wonderful but convince him by the
way you look and the things you leave
unsaid, that you are wonderful too.
