VOU will take the straight and mar
l row path for fall, but in effect
only, You will do it by means of
illusion caused by the artifces of
slimming silk jersies, of draping,
subtle goring and intricate cut that
achieves the effect of simple, slen-
der straightness without losing one
feminine curve, one iota of grace
or walking comfort.
Right at the head of the silk
parade of fall fashions comes day
time dresses, evening gowns,
blouses, headgear, cunning little
evening shawls and innumerable
other accessory items made of silk
jersey. For draping and achieving
sculpturesque lines" there is moth
ing in the entire fabric realm COM
parable to supple, lovely silk jersey.
Gray silk jersey is endorsed
throughout the entire style parade,
starting with blouses that will take
you from luncheon right through to
cocktails and important little din
ners. For the most part these have
long fitted sleeves, although the
below-elbow length is also favored.
The attractive blouse to the left in
the illustration is typical. 1t is
made with high neck and curved
seams running toward the armhole
in front, in order to secure the cowI
drapery in pretty precision. The
sleeves are long and modish. The
draped Persian silk turban gives
just the right dash of color to glorify
this exceeding chic blouse.
Bewitching are the dark silk jer-
sey afternoon dresses. Because of
the slim fall of the material, skirts
are cut slightly fuller and there is
much shirred and draped detail in
bodices that will fiatter every type
of figure. See to the right in the
group a black silk jersey daytime
dress. Here the new long torso
sculpture draping interprets current
styling at its best. The American
designer Kievette created this dress

q real distinction and charm.
Sleek and sleeved dinner gowns
of silk jersey made with nodded
torsos and sculpturesque drapery in
the inimitable Alix manner call forth
the plaudits of the fashion world.
Romance and loveliness and fem
mine allure are at their height in a
gown of soft gray-tone silk Jersey
as shown centered in the group. The
bodice has deep V-neck with much
drapery coming from the shoulder
to give fullness over the bust. The
straight-falling generously full skirt
Sims into lines of infinite grace.
Long sleeves accent the new "cov-
ered-up' look so definitely high-fash-
ion for dinner gowns this season.
The wide figure-fattering, tight
draped midriff is enhanced by
buckles jeweled with lovely pink
moonstones.
Bi-colored silk jersey evening
gowns continue to be fashion firsts.
These have bodice and apron
drapery in one color with midriff
and skirt in another, in such dra-
matte combinations as flame red
with black, accessoried with jet
jewelry, Black magic also con-
tinues in gowns fashioned with
sheer silk jersey tops with silk crepe
for the skirt or black transparent
lace bodices topping heavy black
silk ierSeV SkirtS-enchantinp and
slightly wicked.
A word to the wise" about car
ing for your silk jersey garments.
Because it is a knit fabric, it is
best to lay your blouses and dresses
out fiat in a drawer And did you
know that silk jersey practically
never requires pressing as the
"live" elasticity of silk reduces
wrinkle to a minimum? In case an
iron does have to be used, be sure
just to place the iron on the spot you
wish to press without rubbing back
and forth, which would stretch the
fabric. Silk jersey cleans beau
tifully, too, for the inherent char
acteristics of the fiber means that
if the garment is properly cared for,
it will not bag or sag or pull at the
seams, but will return to it's original
size and shape. Delightful to wear
under winter coats is sleek silken
jersey, never too warm, never too
cool-just right

Fads and Fancies

Hats are gay with a riot of
feathers.
Hats take on pretentious jewel
ry accents.
Call is for costumes styled with
classic simplicity, dramatized
with most elegant accessories.
Massive red coral necklaces
and bracelets are worn with
dresses in the new autumn
browns.
There is a widespread call for
hats and dresses in the new sol
dier blue. 1t is regarded as a
pleasing variation from navy.
Felt hats embroidered all over
with colored stones and pearls,
designed for cocktail and dinner
wear are the newest of the new.
Ostrich plumes worn in Ed
wardian mode in the hair will
enhance many evening costumes
this winter at the more formal
events.

An absorbing theme with design
ers is CLOTHES" for the teen-age.
There is apparently nothing left
that should be done to cater success
fully to the fashion needs and
caprices of the younger generation.
The underlying thought that controls
apparel design for youth in these
modern times is to devise outfits
that can be manipulated to serve
for many-purpose wear. They have
interchangeable parts or reversibles,
in and out "zippered" Innings and
countless other ingenious con-
trivances that contribute to eff
ficiency. Plaid is everywhere in
the fashion picture. This four piece
suit has a reversible hat and jacket
the other side is red corduroy.

 Flash bulbs popped like mach ine-gun fire and reporters surged upon the Alaska beauty queens a la blitzkrieg. Perry Pipkin, na- tional Jaycee president, lost his gavel in the rush, and almost for got to call the convention to or der.
 The girls, Miss Minnie Motsch- man of Fairbanks and Miss Mar garet Mae Scott of Nome, were met at the depot by a welcoming committee headed by Delegate Anthony J. Dimond. Their entry to the Junior Chamber Conven- tion came after they were parad ed down Pennsylvania Avenue past the White House to the cap itol of the United States.
 Meanwhile, business sessions of the convention opened this after noon on an inspirational construc tive note.
 Already at least one young mems large tourist group has as sured its intention of travelling to Alaska.
