N THE springtime fancy turns ca
gerly to whats news in silk
prints. This season the story is
more fascinating than ever with
tales of daring new colors and de-
signs that are writing romance and
drama in every chapter.
There's mad rush for red, a
play-up of fruit motifs in realistic
colorings on white background, a
new array of shantung silks, either
monotone or printed; a repeat on
polka dots with special emphasis on
twin prints; and a performance of
patriotic colors. You'll see a rec
ord-breaking number of prints that
key beige and brown to tangerine,
bittersweet and kindred colors, a
strong accent on bizarre South
American colors, especially puppies
and reds and Peruvian pink, hand

ty-dress prints-and here we pause
for Identification" of some of the
newest print fashions as shown in
the Illustration herewith. .
A sure way of being fashion-right
in selecting the new print frock for
spring is to think in terms of silk
shantung, which is exactly what the
designer did in creating the neat and
attractive dress to the right in the
picture. Styled the South American
way with its bolero silhouette and
general detail, this printed plaid
silk shantung dress is the very en-
bodiment of style at new high.
One of the delights of shantung is
the lovely pastel monotones that are
favorites for dresses and suits, tai
lored to a nicely for both sports and
daytime wear. The dress to the left
in the group is made of a pastel
blue shantung with gay dotted shan
tung for the turban and bag. If you
look close, you will see the tip edge
of matching polka dot parasol. The
dress under a monotone wool coat

Two designers are sounding the
patriotic note by introducing wide
bands of red and white crepe silk
in the lining. You can do the same
thing with the vivid South American
colors-introduce them in Innings, or
in the yoke of the dress.
Look about in the silk displays
and you will be impressed with the
number of prints that couple pink
with black or with navy. These
pretty ladylike prints invite gracious
styling, such as has been given to
the gown centered in the group pic

slim lines with novel petal pockets
made of self-print. There is increas-
ing interest shown in pockets
throughout current costume design.

Accessories Add
Feminine Touch
Bags, Gloves. Hats All Very
COlorful.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

Women of fashion are growing
more accessory minded each day,
and they should. The whole scheme
OF fashion centers about the idea
tha8 it's accessories that make the
costume. They transform your SIM
plest basic gown or ensemble into
glorified masterpiece of fashion.
What with the South American in
tiuence brought to bear, and the Chi
nese and the new creole colors and
the Hawaiian trends. accessories
are riotously, recklessly colorful. Of
course the big news about accesso-
ries is that they have gone intense
ly patriotic, but the brass buttons,
gold braids, emblems and insignia
done in jewels and embroidery are
a story in themselves to which these
rev paragraphs cannot do justice.
There is a 'look-pretty" air about
costume adornment this spring that
is charmingly feminine. There are
the new flower buttons and the new
flower hatpins, for instance. They
are too pretty for words, and they
tune in charmingly with fashion s
spring song. The flower buttons are
so realistic in color and form they
look like they are replicas in minia-
ture. You can get daisies and roses
in colorful plastics.
There's going to be lots of flower
jeWelry worn this spring and sum-
mer. The animal kingdom is repre-
sented in new jewelry.
Hats this season are gay fatter-
ers. The little fowery fantasies and
the perky little ribbon, lace and
feather CONNECTIONS will pay you a
compliment. Even the larger hats
coax their wearers into prettiness,
chic and charm.
Here is an important choice item
of hat news. It's all about the new
bi-color felts. One type is the large
Mexican sombrero, one color under
meath and another on top. For sport
wear, multi-color wool yarn details
give a sWagger flip that's clever,
while a rose under the brim adds
glamour.

est bone on your clean slip covers, or
the baby spills a bottle of ink on your
new dress, take a deep breath before
flying into a tantrum. Losing your
temper is just a waste of time and
strength-and what is worse it etches
little lines in your face.
One Working Girls Formula
Not that the little lady at home has
a corner on nerves. Think of the
working girl whose boss is waiting,
hat in hand, for her to finish typing a
manuscript to take to an important
appointment, while her phone rings
necessarily and the rest of the office
force choose that moment to ask where
she has filed every manner of letter
| know very wise and efficient young
woman who refuses to let those things
ruffle her. At a time like that, she
stops typing-stops doing everything
in fact-and stares straight in front
of her while she slowly counts to one
hundred. She says it does the trick
and believe her because she looks as
young today as she did when she
started working some years ago.
And so the moral of my little sermon
today is Down with nerves." Acquire
a calm and unruffled frame of mind
and YOUR actions will be equally I'M
hurried. You'll get more done and
done better and you'll save a world OF
wear and tear on yourself. And re-
member the most beautiful things in
nature are calm.
The guardian. [volume] (Boston, Mass.) 1901-1960, 1941-03-01

The fast tempo of modern living
Is fine for mass production and getting
things done in hurry, but it is fatal
to the woman who wishes to retain her
beauty unless she learns to take the
hurly-burly hub-bub in her stride.
There is no more unlovely word in the
English language than "hurry" and
there is no one word which causes more
unlovliness.
When you get yourself in a jam and
have only fifteen minutes to accomplish
half-hour's work, try to remember
that YOU can get things done more cas-
ilv. more efficiently and more quickly
if YOU go about the whole thing system
atically and without rush. Haste not
only makes waste of time, it wastes
energy, effectiveness and above all,
beauty. 1t is "hurry, hurry, hurry
which puts those little frown lines be-
tween your brows, gives you tight
Tipped expression and is drag on your
vitality Before you know it your
nerves are jumping, you are swapping
at anyone who is so unfortunate as to
come your way and, if you keep up the
high tension, you are close to hysteria
Before you know it you will be a tired
old woman regardless of your "calen-
dar' age.
Nerves Fatal to Beauty
Nerves are deadly enemies of beauty
But you can't, of course, control your
nerves simply by saying 81 will" You
must do something constructive. The
next time you have spent the day max
ing yourself and your house look
lovely for a special party and are
pretty well worn out to start with
make up your mind that no matter
what emergencies arise at the last
minute, you will not lose your calm
If the dog decides to chew his gummi.

Coats Take On
Dressmaker Touch

Dressy coats show much dress
maker detail. Wool weaves used
are light weight and yield beauti-
fully to fabric and surface treat
ments. Allover braiding on the
blouse top, done in self-color, en-
hances many pastel coat. The
new oatmeal shades, beige and
brown, violet very smart this sea-
sony pastel blue and muted pink are
fashioned in this way. Tucking is
another fabric treatment, likewise
quilting which sometimes is done in
an allover pattern in sprawling leaf
and tendril design.
The guardian. [volume] (Boston, Mass.) 1901-1960, 1941-03-01
Prints Accompany
Plain Materials

There is sort of a gypsy charm
and fascination about the new
dresses, be they cotton, silk, linen
or rayon. The skirt has just enough
fullness, introduced in subtle ways,
to give it the casual look. For the
blouse top, the material is in mono
tone. Quite smart is the black or
navy jersey top.
For evening, lovely gowns are
made of printed silk done in re-
splendent colors. A fitted bodice
may surmount a skirt of billowy
white mousseline on which is ap-
pliqued at strategic points flower
clusters cut from the same print
that fashions the waist.

happen again. Just ask at the jew
elry or glove counter to see one
of the new-this-season glove guards.

BEAUTY HINTS
BUTTERMILK BEAUTY
By Nina Temple

Nothing is finer for the skin in an
all round way than buttermilk. It's
cheap, it's plentiful, it's handy. First
thing, buttermilk cleanses the skin and
then it whitens the skin and best of
all it tightens the skin, keeping it
young and firm. A country maid
whose complexion was the despair of
all the rich city lasses visiting the
spring hotel said: 81 just use butter
milk" Many jars of cream lugged to
and from by the city girls cost several
dollars jar, but the country maid was
fairest of them all. Why not try it g?

Statistics show that there is an
increase in yardage sales owing to
the fact that growing number of
women are taking up home sewing.
This, they say, may be largely at
tributed to the fact that almost ev-
cry community nowadays has a
sewing center where one can learn
at little or no expense the shortcuts
and tricks of the trade. The dress
pictured can be made up easily and
at minimum cost. The material
need not be expensive. Why not
learn to make your own clothes?
Some of the rayon mixtures in
pastel colors would be practical for
a beginner to start with, and the
new gabardines are lovely and wear
able. The pattern for this dress calls
for soft gathered detail and is type
that can be easily made at home.
