Exclusive Design By
Alice Jones

The exclusive dress pictured above
was designed and made by Alice Jones,
fashionable dressmaker, 332-A Mass.
Ave, Boston, telephone Kenmore $685.
In this hem line dress there are long
lovely lines that slenderize your figure
to a thread. There are soft pleatings
in the surplice bodice which hang flat
a perfect example that molds in to de-
fine the normal waist-line the gathered
fullness in center at front, keeping the
outline slim.
For evening wear, black chiffon with
tiny jacket of lime green that guards
the waist line.
Modelling for Alice Jones is Miss
Cynthia Bolt, most perfect model in
every sense, who has recently returned
from college.

SUNSHINE OR SHADE?

At the beginning of the summer it
is wise to decide whether you are
going to avoid any hint of sunburn or
whether you'll just take the sun with
your fun-and then chart your course
accordingly.
Foundation Cream Protects the Skin
For those of you who would prefer
to take precautions against the sun
now rather than combat its effect
when Fall sets in, the first require
ment is a good foundation cream.
Make it rule never to go out by day
without first generously coating the
exposed portions of your skin with
this cream. Foundation cream not
only protects the skin from sun, wind
and glare, but serves as an excellent
powder base. You'll find that your
makeup goes on more smoothly and
remains intact hours longer when
applied over powder base. A good
foundation cream, too, helps soothe
and soften the skin.
Your next step is to invest in a
large brimmed hat. The brim will
serve to keep the sun off your face and
neck and at the same time protect the
eyes from glare, thus avoiding squint
and frown lines. Long-sleeved dresses
too, are in order and you will have to
give up all idea of sunback dresses and
deep V-necks. You may think the
more concealing dresses will prove a
great deal warmer for summer wear,
but it's surprising how little difference
they make. Anyway, it will be worth
! it when fall comes if you can point
with pride to the fact that your skin
is no darker in September than it was
in May.
A Word of Warming

ested in outdoor sports to be willing to
