F'ads and Fancies

Young moderns are all enthusi-
astic over fringed play shoes that
take their cue from Western cow
boy fashions.
The inverted pompadour is a 'last
word" hair-do that is exciting much
interest. The hair is brought down
over the forehead, the ends turned
under, which, when deity done,
gives every appearance of bangs.
Not only is this ever so flattering,
but it is very practical, for it stays
neatly put, with minimum care.
Something new for the bridal
gown-white Nylon velvet, said to
be very charming to the eye, and
highly satisfactory in that it Grapes
beautifully and yields pleasingly to
fabric manipulation.
Very new for spring are navy
coats or capes that have small
shapely collars of white caracul,
broadtail or similar fabriclike fur.
Other models in navy have simply
cluster of white ermine tails at the
throat. White hat and accessories
worn with these coats and capes key
to the white of the fur.
To wear with your spring and
summer print dresses, look up bead
or flower necklaces, bracelets and
clips that pick up one or more colors
OF the print.

Simplicity Continues
AS Main Style Trend
Straight Line Silhouette
Added to Picture.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

Dresses are, for the most part,
7imple in line and design Many
are the casual type, which has be-
come such an integral part of every
Woman's wardrobe. Casuals and
classics adhere to the straight line
Silhouette by means of concealed
pleats and cores. Bodices are softly
fitted with fullness incorporated
into back lines by means of Jokes
and darts.
Sheer dresses, both in dark and
pastels, are accompanied by match
ing or contrasting capes, coats or
jackets. There is a tendency to
revive the short boxy jacket made
of the matching print of the dress.
Jackets for the smart, new suits
are longer and loosely and casually
fitted, maintaining a Waistline that
is very young. Skirts trend to
straight lines, with the exception of
the very popular all-around pleated
ones, and even they are stitched
down at the top to maintain a
straight up-and-doWn look.
The long cape is the big fashion
story this season. Shown as a sep
arate wrap or with a contrasting or
matching dress, it's an exciting ad-
dition to the spring picture.
Costume suits are tremendously
important This fashion, so truly
American, has become the wardrobe
mainstay of practically every busy
American woman. Its versatility
and adaptability are unsurpassed.
Millinery was never more allur-
ingly feminine. Large Mexican two
toned felt sombreros are smart for
street and general wear. The little
fowery sailor hats are yelled with
clouds of colorful maline. Stunning
wide-brim black hats, frequently of
stitched grosgrain ribbon, have
their upturned brims swathed in
sheer black lace

Although it is frequently said that
the eyes are "the windows of the
SOUL" l sometimes believe that the
hands mirror a persons character al
most as well. In a sense, the hands
move in a wider orbit than the eyes,
and their free and spontaneous actions
perhaps claim other peoples atten-
ton more than we realize.
We all notice hands on occasion.
Sometimes our attention is forced on
them. Restless hands, fidgety hands,
or quiet hands; well-groomed, ILL
groomed; the warm hand clasp, the
clammy handshake-we have them
all There are certain occasions when
you especially notice other peoples
hands and your own, as for example,
when you are playing cards. You
have an opportunity to study the
hands of those around you and to COM
pare them with your own hands. You
study their size, length, nails, skin
texture, movements, etc.
When you do make such observa-
tons, how do your hands compare
with those of other women?
Perhaps you wish the fingers were
little longer and not quite so thin,
and stubby-or that your nails were
more almond-shaped. Very few peo-
pie have perfect hands but any woman
can make her hands attractive if she
will watch two things: () the use of
her hands, and (2) the care she gives
them.
The first consideration has to do
with the gracefulness of your hands.
That doesn't mean you should take a
course in dramatics. But here's tip
which comes from the dramatic school:
Never gesture for the sake of gestur-
ing, or feel that it is necessary to do
this in order to be expressive. A move
The guardian. [volume] (Boston, Mass.) 1901-1960, 1941-03-22

ment OF the hand should be as natural
as a sincere smile, and as spontaneous.
1t should be expressive of thought
or feeling within you. The thought
or feeling should come first and the
gestlculation spring from it, without
any effort on your part. Such move
ments will then have a certain natural
grace. If you have a tendency to
throw your hands around like a Dutch
windmill, or to effect certain manner
lsms, try to curb these habits, Keen
your hands in quiet repose when YOU
are not using them. Avoid nervous
tidgeting or playing with jewelry, or
parts CT your dress or coat. Of course.
l need not caution you against biting
your nails or fingers.
The second important consideration
is the grooming of your hands-the
nails and skin. During these more or
less wintry days when you are inside
heated rooms, it is very easy for the
hands to become rough and chapped.
Sometimes this is caused by not thor
oughly drying them after they have
been in water. At the best, however.
you will probably find that a good
hand lotion is necessary to keep the
skin soft and pliable. Your nails
should also be faultlessly manicured-
special care given to the cuticle and
shaping of the nails Then, too add the
finishing touch, well-chosen shade of
polish should be applied.
Your hands, the same as your hair,
deserve special beauty attention.
What are your beauty problems?

Smart little sailors, wide droop-

spring picture.
Flower earrings to match the
flowers on your hat is one of
the new and fascinating fancies
on the spring style program.
Black bodices worn with skirts
made of lace or of bright colored
print are fashion favorites. Black
jersey is popular medium for
these semi-ftted waists.
Band your gay print frock at

either with a fiat tailored bow, or

ALL signs point to a lovely and
\ colorful array of sweetly fem
mine fashions for Easter. This is
definitely a year when emphasis
is on pretty lady" trends.
There is big news, in color, es-
pecially in the pastels for suits,
coats and ensembles. The whole
fashion world is expressing enthusi-
asm for the new monotone woods in
light beiges, misted green's, the very
new violet and mauve tones, muted
pinks and pale grayish blues. Seen
in fashion-first Easter costumes,
they are ideal, especially for the
long-coat costumes as shown in the

Fresh flowers add chic to these
attractive Easter outfits. Beaux

your heart will be queen of the Eas-
ter parade if you send a corsage of
fresh white freesias to match the
bouquet on her hat mote the model

If she is sophisticated, any beau
may win her heart with a modern
istic corsage of fresh gardenias. If
you're away she will appreciate
your wiring her local florist to in
clude an extra gardenia or two to
tie on her wrist bracelet fashion as
