Vas 1t but a Suggestion
From Exhausted Clerk?

Frock after frock had been dis
played to the lady with the super
cilious air, until the salesperson
in the exclusive dress shop was
on the point of nervous exhaus-
ton.
The. customer would inspect
each dress and then make biting
remarks about most of them. At
last she looked around the deva-
stated place with an overbearing
glance and complained:
"All your frocks are so skinny.
/ believe I would look better in
something flowing"
The tired clerk was quick to
seize the opening.
MADAM might try the river"
she said coldly.

New Cottons Make
Fashion Headlines

Cottons are not news, but the cot.
ton materials manufactured today
are not only news, but front page
news! -----.-
One of the highspots on the sum.
mer program of cottons is the suit
of crinkly seersucker. At the races
fashion-wise women are wearing
these suits. The perfected tailoring
of these suits gives them thorough
bred air that is recognized at a
glance. IA.
Chambray is also gaining in popu-
larity. Emphasis on striped cham
bray leads to such intriguing
styling as the dress of monotone
chambray that is detailed with
stripes. Matching hat and bag COM
plete the costume.
A word about the new colorful
denims and gabardines. The latest
message is bright yellow denim for
play clothes. And lowered chintz
is seen in both formal and infor-
NAL dresses. -
In the evening cottons go forth in
party frocks of Bingham and flow
cred prints, and in peasant skirts
with blouse or MILDLY tops. This
seasons cotton sheers never were
prettier.

This very good-looking frock is
made of new and unusual sports
fabric, which, because of its out
standing attractiveness plus its de-
pendable variability, may be re-
garded as a real "find" for women
who seek reliable materials. 1t is
a rough crepe, one of a number of
new creative fabrics done in
Celanese rayon and silk. Woven
with special twist in the yarn, a
pleasing unevenness is produced
best described as a splash effect.
This charming frock will be well
liked both because of the ripple
surfaced crepe that fashions it and
because of the promise it carries of
satisfactory wearableness. Note
how sinartly it is styled, with the
new accented hipline.

right, use mercerized cotton thread.
The star detail is somewhat mill
tary in effect, as so many fashions
are this summer. Mercerized cot
ton thread was used also for the
beret in the inset below. Note the
colorful crochet emblem which
adorns the front of the crown.
Describing other attractive GRO
Chef themes, a prim little Gibson
sailor is worth noting 1t is GRO
cheted of mercerized cotton in a
firm, even, single stitch and is so
manipulated it keeps in perfect
shape. A cluster of crochet berries
in self color is it's only trim. Be
assured this sailor is very good look
ing.
AS clever headpiece as any mod
ern school girl would want is the
"pigtail calot.'' 1t is really very
similar to the popular schoolgirl
'beanie" and is worn on the back
of the head in exactly the same
manner. The novel and amusing
part is long braid of yarn that
starts from the crown center of
the calot and bangles to the waist
in back, just like Chinaman's pig
tail. To add more interest, the
braided yarn is tied with a hair
ribbon in schoolgirl fashion.
If it is lace-trimmed hat you
want, it may be crocheted in lacy
openwork stitch and when finished,
starched very stiff.

in regard to this very smart trend.
Via simple crochet hook, spool
or so of crochet cotton, or perhaps
a skein or so of washable cotton
yarn, lovely-to-look- at styles may be

You could search everywhere and
it would be difficult to find anything
more fetching in hat and bag sets
than the masterpieces in crochet
artistry such as here pictured.
Even if you have never crocheted be-
fore, with little application and
willingness to live and learn" you
can crochet for yourself a whole col
lection of accessory items every bit
as pretty and wearable as those
here shown. A fascinating pastime
you will find it, too, for the work is
easy and the cost of crochet cot
tons low. ,4-.... 70. -a.-a.

Have you ever tried crocheting
with heavy cotton rug yarn, boilfast
and washable. The work just
speeds along. In no time you can
finish new hat and bag. The at

to have people in your home. In
spite of the warmness of June days,
you want those of your friends who
remain in town to drop by often for
conversation, relaxation and refresh

what you serve to be easy to make,
delicious, entirely different from any
thing that you've ever served before,
and economical. In the last two of

substitute another hobby, but the
serving of dessert upon the arrival
of guests can nevertheless be car
ried out.
Serving dessert when guests ar
rive gives the hostess lots of lee
way. She doesn't have to keep in
mind that her friends will be going
home to dinner soon, as she does
with later-on refreshments. And,
she can provide a really filling des-
sert.

is dessert which I'm sure will an
swer your desires. It's
Tropical Gingerbread.

21a cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
l cup boiling water
2 teaspoons ginger .---
11s teaspoons cinnamon
IL teaspoon cloves
" teaspoon nutmeg
. IL teaspoon baking soda .,,.
" teaspoon salt y
Add beaten eggs to the sugar, mo-
lasses, and melted shortening; then
add the dry ingredients which have
been mixed and sifted, and lastly the
hot water. Bake in small individual
pans, or in creased pan, in mod
crate oven $3.50 degrees F.) for 80
to 40 minutes. Top with whipped
cream and sprinkle with shredded
coconut.
With this dessert, you'll want to
serve a beverage coffee, tea
or perhaps an iced drink of fresh
fruit mixture.
Vanilla mousse is the basis for
number of appetizing desserts,
and is a good party refreshment in
itself. Among the many variations
are peanut brittle and chocolate
fudge mousses.
To make the vanilla mousse, fold
one cup of confectioners' sugar and
two teaspoons of vanilla into one
quart of heavy cream that has been
whipped. Fold in four egg whites
which are stiffly beaten.
Spread the mousse into two large
refrigerator ice trays and place in
the freezing compartment of your re-
