THE high style significance
achieved by wash fabrics during
the last several years is nothing
less than epoch making. Inspired
by the amazing cottons and linens
and spun rayons and kindred
weaves at their command, design
ers are turning out wash apparel
that is writing thrilling chapter in
fashion history.
Now that we have come to recog-
nize the adaptability of modern
washables to every, phase OF all
purpose wear, ranging from the
most casual, unitarian and infor-
NAL to formal occasion, women who
understand the art of dress are feel
ing the urge to plan their wardrobe
entirely from play and workaday
clothes to formal dinner gowns and
party frocks in terms of smart wash
materials.
To tell of the multitudinous wash
fabrics producers are turning out
this season would be task in vain.
However, there are highspots that
deserve mention. There are the
cotton gabardines in delectable pas
tells that tailor beautifully for slack
suits and sports frocks. Crinkled
seersuckers have taken a new lease
on life. You can get them in sturdy
weave or so exquisitely sheer they
will prove a delight for summer
wear. AS to the new piques so high
ly important this season, you won't
be able to resist the eyelet ,embroid-
cred versions The printed piques,
too, are lovely.
AS to the fascinating chambrays
now so modish (be sure to make a
note of chambray for it is tremen-
dously importantly the newer types
have been refined to degree of
nicely in touch, texture and lovely
coloring that makes them not to be
resisted. The same may be said of
dimities Tin demand for both for
mails and informals), there is a
crispness about modern types that
adds sprightliness to the mode.

and party frocks fashioned of sweet
ly feminine Jennie Lind muslins

Print Ensemble Is
Seasons Favorite

Full-length wool coats lined with
a silk print to match an accompany
ing dress are seen in both casual
and formal afternoon ensembles. In
the casual group is red silk print
dress with an all around pleated
skirt accented with pleated pocket
flaps on skirt and bodice. This is
topped by a fitted navy wool coat
buttoned from neck to hem, and
lined with the print of the dress.
A more formal ensemble employs
a Persian pattern silk print for the
dress, with a gently hared skirt and
softly draped and ruffled bodice.
The. accompanying full-length prin-
cess coat of gray wool has elaborate
trapunto embroidery on the sleeves
and bodice.

that strew wee foWerets in a pretty
confusion of colors over a sheer
background, it's safe guess you
will be indulging in more than one
of these gay little fatterers. We
must not forget to call attention to
the stunning huge plaids of sheer
texture. These are designs to 60
anywhere and everywhere this sum-
mer.
When you start out in quest OF
washable cotton or spun rayon
prints keep in mind that the smart
est this season are in gray and
white, especially the new polka dots
which are all the rage this season.
Yellow and gray prints are also
in high fashion.
Another interesting feature
brought out at the wash apparel
show held in Chicago this spring
was the Importance of stripes.
Stripes of every conceivable inter-
probation from high-colored gypsy
and candy stripes to fetching
stripes in pastels, also floral stripes
and other novelty stripes were
stressed throughout the entire pro-
gram of voguish washables.
The working of stripes in clever
design has become a fascinating
pastime with designers. Note how
artfully stripes have, been juggled
for the dress pictured to the left
in the illustration. This attractive
model is fashioned of a woven spun
rayon in pencil stripe. The pockets
and front panel reveal a diagonal
working of stripes.
To the right in the group, candy
stripes of rough weave turf cloth in
striking colors are manipulated to
advantage with the result of achiev-
ing a most pleasing back view as
we'll as being attractively styled
throughout.
The girl Seated in the foreground
has on a frock that boasts circu-
lar skirt and the new corselet treat
ment at the waistline. The ma
terial for this dress is a spun rayon
sport print that subscribes very eff
fectively to the vogue for novelty
stripes.

Gloves this season are in a highly
decorative mood. Even the SIM
plest gloves for general wear are
apt to be tucked or shirred or other
wise cunningly furbelowed. The
eight-inch rich rayon Kayspun glove
designed by Natascha as here pic
tured eloquently interprets the pres
ent trend toward decorative detail,
which in this instance is expressed
in a heavy lace panelling up the
sides. The accompanying bag has
the same lace applied as the long
gloves. This very chic twosome of
bag and gloves is available in white,
black or navy.

Print Sheers Are
Smart for Spring

Shades of gray and white are
printed in a plaid formation on a
sheer dress and jacket ensemble adj
mirably suited to spring luncheon
or an afternoons shopping in town.
The jacket is long and fitted and
boasts two pocket flaps on either
side. The neckline is trimmed with
a jabot of frothy white organdy.
Pink roses printed on white for
the bodice, and on black for the
skirt, are the motif for an afternoon
dress of soft chiffon. A detachable
apron of the pink and black print
ties on over the skirt with a wide
sash and bow to make it even
more dressy.

JUDGE DUDLEY S. VALEN-
y TINE of the Los Angeles
Superior court conducted an
important trial recently-not in
court, however, and the judge
wore overalls instead of his jul
dicial robes.
The issue at stake was wheth-
er or not he still retained his skill
as a locomotive engineer. The
scene was a movie location set,
and the stars of "Torrid Zone"
comprised thejury. Itseems that
years ago the judge was a railway
engineer, and when he learned that
an old-time locomotive would be run
over its own private track on the
movie location, the jurist accepted
the invitation of the location man
ager-also former engineer-to
put the train through its PAGES.
With Pat O'Brien and Andy De-
vine in the cab, His Honor took the
drivers seat, tugged the whistle
cord and opened the throttle. He
made the two-mile run in six min
utes flat, cheered on by his two pas
sengers.

Los Angeles is noted as being one

"Belle Waiting of "Gone With the
Wind" and the "Lorelei" of radio s
"Big Town,") landed out there she
couldn't find any women to play
squash with her. She is an avid
squash fan, so she advertised in a
newspaper for feminine partners,
and received no replies. But Ona
didn't let that stop her. She was
determined to play squash-and play
squash she does, with men. The
Mems University Club in Hollywood
has an ironclad rule-"No Women
Allowed" She's an exception. She's
admitted, to play squash-but on
Sundays only.

'balanced' from the standpoint Of
proteins and carbohydrates and vita
minis and ninerals-and still be a
drab and uninteresting affair.
That seems to be particularly true
in spring, when appetites are likely
to be jaded, and you seem to be
running out of menu ideas. And
that's exactly the time to try some
thing different, little trick to add
newness and interest to soups;
tasty and unusual meat dish; and a
salad or dessert that makes use of
some of the refreshing spring vege-
tables and fruits.
Just for variety, for instance, when
] want to serve hot soup as the first
course of q. meal, combine equal
parts of canned consomme and to-
mato juice, simmer the resulting
mixture for about 5snninutes with a
bay leaf for flavor, and serve it
very hot with a spoonful of sailed
whipped cream sprinkled with
chopped chives or green onion tops.
And serve green onions and crisp,
succulent radishes in place of the
relishes I've used all winter. I use
fhubarb for sauce or for dessert,
just as soon as the price comes down
within reach of my budget; shred
young carrots, or cut them in thin
slivers, and cook them with an equal
amount Of onion, sliced fine; drain
them and season with salt, pepper
and butter. Or I cook carrots and
potatoes together and mash them
just as I would for mashed potatoes,
to serve with the rich brown gravy
of a pot roast.
Here are three spring menus that
I like.
