Plan to wear lots of smart black
and white this summer, and be sure
to frost it with summery white jew
elry. Brilliant as sparkling snow to
help you look cool when the ther-
mometer registers high, the earclips
and bracelets Monet creates in
smart lines of regimental precision
are beautiful. 1t is the tailored nice
ty of these white jewelry units that
makes such big appeal, as jewelry
of the type worn by the ladies' of
fashion fits into the picture of any
casual or dressy costume. The
chic lady pictured at the top has
carried out the black-and-white ira
dition in every detail of her stun
ming midsummer outfit. The black
and white print of her frock, the
pose of her striking black chapeau,
plus the icy whiteness of her Monet
jewelry all combine to create the
costume of a fashion sophisticate.
Irresistably lovely is the young so
cialite also pictured here in a new
fashion adorable stiff1y starched lin
gerie Dutch bonnet. Her accesso-
ries are as cool and refreshing as
an ice cream cone. Here earclips,
bracelet and initials on her white bag
by Monocraft lend the sophisticated
touch.

Fads and Fancies

Buttons as important as jewels
is the forecast for fall. So much
so will buttons feature in the new
fashions, an ingenious designer
has been inspired to contrive
type of buttons that snap off and
on. The idea is to interchange
buttons so that they will match
the color scheme Of accompany
ing accessories.
If you are looking for some
thing different in hosiery, this
season offers many new trends.
By all means ask to see the new
luxuriously sheer Nylon navy
hose. They are ever so swank
and are a perfect complement
to smart city navy outfits and
with summery navy sheer
dresses.
Latest fad in accessories made
of gay print is the hat-and-glove
twosome recently brought out.
You can get long mosquetaire
gloves made of gay printed fabric
together with chic draped tur-
ban made of the same print.

Supple Treatment
For Face Brims
Pleated and Ruf1ed Brims
Are Interesting.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

Mllliners are in a mood to make
a plaything of face-framing brims.
1t IS a dramatic play, carried on
with resourcefulness of ideas and
an artistry that is eye-appealing.
The outstanding characteristic of
current millinery design appaI ent-
ly is to manipulate brims into soft
pretty effects rather than tailored
lines. Even the hitherto conserva-
tive conventional felt hat has yield
ed to the new supple treatment in
rutf1ed ribbon edges or undulating
fabric flares or designful hand
crochet edgings. Then, too, many
of the best looking hats are made of
lightweight felt cloth, with pleated
and ruffled brims.
When it comes to the dressier
modes, ruches of net or lace or
rose-pleated frayed taffeta beautify
brims in endless ways. Hats made
of layer-on-layer of net give the soft
effect the more so when the hat is
of all-over shirred net. The tend
ency is to reach out to enormous
width in brims, sometimes with lace
extensions to straw or fabric hats
or wide bias folds of pique especial
ly smart on black hats) or a border
of lacy, stiff, almost transparent
horsehair braid. Often these borders
are finished off with a piping of
black velvet, for touches of black
velvet on hats is making important
millinery news this summer.
Smart indeed are the brims that
develop double effect at the edge
wherein a row of white or tiny col
orful flowers is nestled in manner
most fiattering.
The soft manipulation of hats in
either felt or fabric is trend that
will continue into the fall millinery
program.

Linen Dresses and Suits
Seasons Smart STYLES

Women of assured fashion in
tuition regard suits in black or
brown, navy, or dark green linen
as the best-looking costume of he
season for town wear. These are
meticulously tailored and are given
charm and femininity via lovely
white lingerie accents.
One-piece dresses of non-wrinkle
linen are very popular this sum-
mer. They are made with all the
fine dressmaker details such as en-
hance chic models in crepe or thin
wool. There are such highlight
touches as braid trims, odd huge
buttons and so on. The dress that
looks like suit, also princess types,
are popular in linen.

You can bank on this simple rayon
sheer striped dress no matter where
you vacation, for simplicity is
Americas fashion this summer
from coast to coast. Broadening
horizontal shoulder stripes, with
whiting vertical stripes prove the
stripe is quicker than the eye when
it comes to actually whiting down
the figure. This optical-illusion out
fit comes in brown and blue, navy
and white, also gray and white. A
haring brimmed hat and gauntlet
gloves complete this outfit.

DO YOU believe in the magic of
- fairy wands? Unless it be at
the touch of a fairy wand how could
such visions of loveliness as the trio
pictured ever come into being?
1t is just such lacy, beguiling
sheer and lovely gowns as these
that women who yearn for pretty
clothes envision in their dreams of
what to wear" when they go
dancing on a gay summer night.
So be as sentimental, as blithely
romantic as you will in choosing
your midsummer night festive
gowns, keeping in mind that fashion
particularly favors exquisitely frag-
lie sheer media this season, with
the emphasis definitely on all white
for evening wear. S
The all-white lace dress as pic
tured to the left is making it's ap-
pearance again and again on best
dressed women who are attending
fashionable night clubs or formal
events at important summer resort
hotels. It adds to the lure of this
lace that it is American made. 1t
is as exquisite and beautiful as it
is surprisingly inexpensive. Crisp,
white and delicate, the new laces
make you look your prettiest with
their lure and charm. The dress
has its own rayon taffeta slip.
The South American influence is
very prominent in the white cotton
lace evening gown shown centered
in the group. The four fiounces on
the skirt are reminiscent of the
Spanish dancers costume. The
deep capelike collar opens at the
back. With the return of the "gra-
cious LADY, period, the call for
handsome lace such as fashions this
distinguished frock is outstanding.
Nothing in the way of sheer cottons
surpasses organdy and when it is
elaborately eyeleted as is the or
CANDY used for the picture" gown
on the fair socialite portrayed here,
the effect is most eye-appealing.
The introduction of black jersey in
The guardian., 1941-07-12

the bodice is in keeping with the
present trend. This touch of black
gives a sophisticated look to an
otherwise airy, fairy ingenue frock.
The wing-sleeved bolero and the
very full over-skirt effect are high
style details.
This matter of sheer airy-fairy
fabrics for the party dress carries
all the way through the program of
the pretty frocks fashion so def
nitely favored this season. Often
yards and yards of billowy tulles
or stiffened chiffon or thinnest of
marquisette 60 to make up the full
skirt with its quaint little fitted
bodice.
A new vogue this season is that
of enormous florals handpainted on
either most diaphanous flmy white
sheers or these flower paintings are
done on white jersey likewise white
sharkskin in dazzling color glory.
Most of the new white dresses Of
rayon jersey with a dull finish) or
rayon crepe are made very simply.
They are, however, given look Of
distinction and Importance by in
triguing touches such as gold kid
trimmings, gold or jeweled buttons,
girdles with an enrichment of jewel
embroidery.
Watch buttonsl They promise to
be as important as Jewelry in the
evening mode, and are used con-
spicuously so as to call attention to
their intricate design. Huge flower
buttons add infinite charm to the
otherwise all-white frock. Immense
mother-of-pearl buttons are fashion
highlights. Some of the pearl but
tons are made up with a filigree
design worked out in gold or silver.
You can get buttons that snap on
and off and thus change the entire
aspect and color scheme at will.

Shorts for evening wear! 1t
seems that that approaches a "be-
lleve it or not" category in the
modern woman's thinking but
one of our larger metropolitan
newspapers on Sunday devoted a
sizable quantity of space to an in
viting photograph of one of our
Hollywood celebrities dressed in
evening shorts!
Well, why not? And, why?
We women more and more have
discarded needless clothing in the
interests of comfort. and we've
found styles which are both chic
and comfortable. So far, however,
we've held shorts to sports classi-
tlcation, where they rightfully be-
long!
We first wore slacks for casual
occasions, and gradually donned
them for morning wear, even on the
streets. And all of US admit there
is something mighty attractive
about young woman swinging
along in neatly fitting slacks. Some
how she seems to symbolic the free
dom and independency of modern
women!
Dress her in a well-styled after
noon gown or informal dress and
she gains in attractiveness, how
ever. She is more feminine -.
more as we expect her to be.
But she gains her full beauty and
her most attractive appearance in
an evening gown. All women do.
Especially if she has exercised good
taste in her selection of materials
and styling. All of us-our men
folks included-feel that she then
The guardian., 1941-07-12

as she can be.
Any of US can close our eyes and
recall pleasurable visions of the
gaiety and splendor of crowded
ballroom where beautiful women
appear more beautiful still in lovely
evening dresses and gowns, highly
varied in colors and stylings.
l find it terrifically difficult, how
ever, to imagine much actual beauty
and little of romantic interest in
picturing similar scene-with the
women in evening shorts rather
than gowns! I know their variance
would be unusual. l realize their
colorings would be multitudinous.
And our menfolks would joke us
about them and appear to be
pleased with them. Those who told
us their honest opinions, however,
would tell us that they did not like
them. Neither do l, and feel that
most women will agree with me in
that decision.
We have attained tremendous re-
spect through the development of
a conservatism in dress, widened
knowledge of what to wear and
what not to wear. We have devel-
oped our own style trends, popular
lied the use of dress and fabric
colorings more harmonious to our
individual needs. We will gain even
greater respect by continuing as we
have been doing-carefully select
ing our wearing apparel, carefully
caring for our compilations, our
hair, our hands and nails.
Romance, which is synonymous
with beauty, comes to those who are
respected :. not to those who
openly or secretly are nitiedl

DARK CHINS
By Nina Temple

DARK CHINS
Somehow the skin of the chin be-
meath the mouth, has a tendency to be
darker and it spoils the effect of pow
der and lip stick, giving the face a
rather muddy look. Try good bleach
cream on the chin for about five nights
IN succession. Usually this will clear
up this region. While doing this
