Quills and Feathers
To Feature Fall Hats

There is much novelty in the new
hat arrivals. The tendency is to
manipulate fabrics in intriguing and
original ways. Among the fabrics
used often is jersey, with an an
CORA finish and milliners are Great
ing draped turbans and toques of
long scarf effects in lacy feather
weight woolknit manufactured espe-
cially for millinery purposes. These
scarfed novelties will also be worked
into snoods and apron drapes at
the back of hats.
Look for quills and feathers ga
lore, for they are ION the way" Not
one quill but several, will appear
dramatically posed on a beret or
turban or novelty shape. Feather
adorned felt hats will be very popu-
lar this fall.
Bretons still maintain as favor
ite type in the simpler and wider
brim felts. Sometimes these will
have crochet edge instead of a rib
bon binding.

Once you're in fresh, cool clothes,
do your makeup carefully Summer
makeup should be lighter than Won
may use in the cooler months. Very
little rouge, deft hand with the pow
der, and your gayest lipstick, applied
sparingly. You want to look as fresh
and cool as a flower.
You can help create that illusion of
GOODNESS and freshness through a more
casual hair-do. Wear your hair a lit
tie further off your face, keep it SOFTLY
curIed, rather than in a set and formal
coiffure. For the final touch to YOUR
hair, wet your fingers with cologne or
toilet water and push the curls into
place, dampening them very slightly
with the fragrant liquid. A little more
on the back of your neck and on your
wrists, and dab on your hanky, and
you're ready to go. Tie a gay little
beau-catcher ribbon in your hair, and
you're off for fun and romance.
Just as sure as you look as cool as
you can, you'll be a refreshing sight
among your sweltering sisters, and
that's enough to make you feel as cool
as cucumber.
There, now, don't you feel cooler al
ready?

WoOlknits for Fall
Are Smartly Styled
New Model Jackets Sans
Shoulder Seams.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

Developments in woolknit dresses
and costumes for fall are varied
and important. There is a definite
trend toward young looking fashions
that introduce chic dressmaker de-
tails.
You can get dresses with skirts
that look exactly as if they were
pleate6. They also have the ap-
pear of being handknit. Stun
ming .,e ensembles add zest to
the woolknit vogue. Shown in ad-
vance collections are such intriguing
models as a cape outfit of nubby
wool and rayon knit in slate gray,
with white stripes for the dress and
tuxedo revers on the full length
cape. Silver buttons and red leath-
er on the belt flash message of
chic and charm.
Welcome to campus and class
room are cunning Woolknit jumper
dresses. One especially to be COW
eted, is natural zephyr knit jump
er frock with ribbed yoke and waist
line. The brief guimpe beneath is
zephyr, striped in moss green, rust
and natural. One of the smartest
models brought out stresses the new
long jacket without shoulder seams.
This fashion is very smart and pro-
claims the fact of being "new" at
first glance. The jacket and sleeve
are knit in one, after the latest style
dictates. Color effect is also out of
the ordinary as it appears in a red
and black knit fabric giving a mot
tied beautifully autumnlike effect.
Sweaters, skirts, slack suits and
sportsWear in general are new and
colorful throughout the entire fall
woolknit program. Classic sweat
ers are longer. V-neck sweaters are
gaining in importance. Interesting
midriff treatment is seen in a few of
the machine knits and in most of the
hand knitted dresses.
Woolknit fabrics show amazing va
riety. You can get knits in plaids,
in stripes used horizontally, YER
tically and diagonally. Ripple-weave
knits are being shown, also chew
lots and jerseys. There are JAG
guards available, shadow plaids,
corduroy-type ribs and fabrics that
look like Worsteds and tweeds. TAX
ing it all in all the outlook is for a
tremendous season in woolknits.

thrilling in interest and so wide in
scope it carries through from SUM-
up to sun-up all through the "a
hours of a calendar day and night.
And so, while the vacation spirit
is going strong throughout the ma
ton, fancy turns to cool sleek
streamline types such as the trim
suit pictured to the right. Tailored
with precision and cut to give the
style-correct streamline silhouette,
this is a type that makes instant
appeal to best-dressed women.
Over this smart outfit the wearer
tosses one of those short wool jack
cts, the rage at resorts this sum-

In the same category as this
classy slacks suit are the ex-
quisitely tailored jacket and slacks
suits. Fashioned of gabardine for
the most part in fetching pastel
green's, violet shades, soft blues and
dusky pinks. There is nicely and
fnesse about these suits that indi-

ago as mere experiment, the new
mode of costume today filings a chal-
lenge to designers to give their best
to movement that is advancing in
leaps and bounds to unqualified ac-
ceptance by women everywhere,
women who recognize the chic, the
comfort and the ease that slack cos
tunes offer.
A few seasons ago the wearing of
slacks was restricted to certain
time, place and occasion and if you
ventured beyond a prescribed pro-
gram you were made to feel con-
spicuous. Nowadays slacks cos
tunes are so generally worn, moth
ing less than a whole wardrobe of
slacks is required in order to keep
up with the social and fashion de-
mands of the times.
Impetus has also been given to the
slacks costume movement owing
to the spreading of interest in civil
ian defense works which is creating
a new and most exciting demand
for slack outfits, because of the need
of durable workaday clothes.
Among college girls who are taking
courses in emergency mechanics" >"
there is a call for trouser costumes
and coveralls made of denim, CAB
ardine and other sturdy materials
that will be increased as the fall
school terms begin.
However, the workaday idea is
but a single phase and very recent
development of the slacks-trousers
costume theme, and there will be
much to say later in this regard.
Just now most fascinating story is
being unfolded at vacation resorts
and amid home environs, story so

BEAUTY HINTS
OLD EYES
By Nina Temple

OLD EYES
1t has been observed quite often
that many women have young faces
but such old, old eyes. Why is this
The reason is very apparent. They
give all the attention of cosmetics to
their faces and neglect to look after
their eyes. Eyes should have particu-
lar care; soothing lotions, rest, washes
to restore their luster and sparkle.
Look into the eyes of those who have
lived longer and you will see something
like the glazed look of fish long dead.
So, take care and begin at once to give
the eyes particular care that they may
flash and shine and sparkle.

Braided Effects

Much braiding is appearing
throughout late summer fashions.
1t is said this matter of using braid
ed trimmings will be accentuated
throughout fall fashions. An inter-
esting reaction to the call for braid
ed effects will be hats with braid
work on off-face brims that corre-
spends with braiding on jacket or
frock.

Belts Cleverly Handled
Reduce Waistline Span

In the march toward smooth sill
houettes designers are manipulating
belts in subtle ways. The latest
move is to inset the belt in a svelte
graceful midriff treatments. When
shopping for the new gown take note
of this, for it is surprising how this
technique takes away inches from
the waistline span.

Soon the time will come when
college and back-to-school ward
robes will be the paramount theme
in every household where school
faring daughters live. Why not look
ahead and, in idle vacation days,
make up a simple basic wool dress
and brief jacket which will serve
as suit for a starter" on the fall
clothes program. The costume pic
tured will prove ideal as a many
purpose outfit.
Button-on vestee is in crisp white
pique and really very easy to copy.

SILVER DRIVE
 TO CONTINUE;
 FUNDS SHORT
Ticket Sale and Dance Al- counts for Only S534
 Need S9OO

When strains of the last waltz had faded softly from the Gold Room of the Baranof Hotel last Saturday night, receipts from the Silver Ball jitney dance were added up and it was found that the dance, sale of Silver Week tickets and other contributions had collected a total of $543.O8 for purchase of silver service for the U. s. s. Juneau, new cruiser soon to be launched from a New Jersey navy yard.
 Because this is about $350 short of the approximately $900 needed to buy the silverware for the new ship, the drive will continue until suf- ficient funds are available Mayor Harry I. Lucas said today.
 Heaviest contributions were rec eived Saturday afternoon, when six pretty Juneau girls, riding on one of the city's brightly polished fire trucks, decended on downtown streets to sell tickets. When they had com pleted their blitz of Saturday shop pers, the girls had collected $22648. The dance netted a total of $95 for the silver purchase. Mayor Lucas said.
 Mayor and Mrs. Lucas plan a trip to the states, leaving the latter part of this month and being in New Jersey in early October for the launching ceremonies.
