Children adore buttons, and three
rows of them as used on the new
aqua Shetland wool coat pictured to
the right is enough to triple any lit
tie girls joy. The pretty eyelet en-
broidered collar helps make this
coat an important spring fashion,
for white collared coats are featured
for both adults and little folks.
The nautical influence can be seen
in the coat pictured in the inset.
Navy Shetland with a red and white
trimmed sailor collar and two rows
of glittering silver buttons is the
formula adopted by the designer of
this smart and attractive model.
The pendulum has swung back to
sailor dresses. Both children and
grown-ups will wear huge white lin
gerie sailor collars with their new
spring frocks. The top color for
spring is navy in coats, dresses
and capes.
Amusing it is to see the way chill
dren's fashions this year copy those
of their elders. An adult fashion
that repeats in miniature for little
daughters of the household is the
-with-plain costume. Cunning
versions for tots are pleated-skirt
print dresses tipped with capes (na-
wy or pastel wools) lined throughout
with the print of the dress.
Influences other than the navy or
the army that make for versatility
in styling are South American trends
that bring vivid color into play. Dude
ranch fashions also delight tots.
There are lariat ties, cowboy fringe
trims and studded leather belts.

WHATS new in children's fash
w ions? To tell the story would
require endless recital, for design
ers of juvenile modes have found
at command so many contributing
sources of ideas that they have been
inspired to do and to dare this sea-
son.
Perhaps most exciting of all is,
the rush of patriotic themes preva-
lent in all the apparel for the young
er generation. Emblazoned stars,
eagles with widespread wings, flags
unfurled, ships, anchors and other
nautical insignia, braidings, epau-
let's, sailor collars, officers capes
and brass-buttoned coats, colors red,
white and blue in the true American
way hold endless fascination for
youngsters, especially when they
adorn their very own coats and
dresses and stylish cape outfits as
they do this season.
What could be more attractive,
we ask, in the way of new spring
ensembles for school-faring sisters
Illdll IllC tWO-oioeSA Soe>
models shown in the illustration
herewith? To fully sense the charm
of these clever cape outfits, one
must visualize them in their own
original bright colorings (matching
red wool capes, hats, and skirts with
navy jackets) as displayed at pre-
view of American-designed fashions
presented in connection with Sc
ries of breakfast style clinics held
in the great Merchandise Mart of
Chicago. Pace-making fashion
events are these clinics which thou
sands of merchants and buyers at
tend each season in search of de-
pendable authoritative forecasts
which these style shows present.
The two coats in the picture
shared applause with the cape suits.
Their message is buttons. Rows and
rows of EN-! Bright metal ones a la
militaire are favorites.

Footwear Features
Colors, Low Heels

Glamorized by style designers,
low heeled shoes will lead the fash
ion parade this spring Newest mod
els have been given flippant touches
to make them more attractive.
The great emphasis on color is
perhaps their most outstanding fea-
ture: the more color the merrier.
Sandals or step-in oxfords in a glow
ing tan, pale blond or smart wine
red shade will enliven even the So
berest black or navy blue suit.
Tan tones are slightly favored
over other colors. They range from
the grayed twig tans, soft cocoa and
tortoise, to khaki. This last color is
especially smart in combination
with black patent leather, with
khaki gabardine used through the
center of the shoe.
Wedges are renamed lifts" and
are recommended for country and
sports wear.
Soft cocoa-colored suede is used
for one of the dressier shoe styles
known as Capri sandal.
Something little different is even
done to the navy blue oxford. Here
the navy influence is definitely max
ing itself felt. One oxford of navy
blue calf and gabardine has three
narrow folds of white calf across the
toe. Similar bands of white cross
the back of the heel. For the final
touch, the shoelaces have fiat leather
ends with a small white star design
in the center.

it's the third excellent picture

The company launched the picture
in New York with something differ

A night club was turned-more or
less-into Garden of Eden, and
five pretty girls were engaged to act
as Ewes. Since there's snake that
plays a prominent part in the pic
ture, one was provided. DR.. Ray

tiles at the Bronx zoo, was present;
he felt that the party would do much
to dissipate the popular phobia
against snakes. A consultant psy-

particular. Then Emma, the snake,
departed for the zoo, and the wom-

Kathryn GraySOn Mickey Rooney
In "Andy Hardy's Private Secretary"
Grayson, who's not quite eighteen,
and is being hailed as real dis
covery.
Eighteen months ago, when she
sang at Los Angeles musical, she
attracted the attention of Metro ex-
ecutives. Before the afternoon was
over she had an appointment with
Louis B. Mayer-the next day she
had a contract. After that she
checked in at the studio school
took a regular high school course,
had lessons in music, diction, make
up, dramatic training.
She has a magnificent cOlOratura
voice, can sing C above high C, and
it is predicted that she may become
one Of the greatest coloraturas the
world has ever known. She's de-
lighted over being in pictures-but
in another two years she's going to
tackle the Metropolitan opera.
Hortense Monath, who recently
appeared as soloist with the NBC
Symphony orchestra, has made a
name for herself as concert pianist
in both Europe and America, play
ing with many of the most famous
orchestraS.
She really has a second career;
she brOwses in the musical litera-
ture of the ages and brings forth
each year a series of programs for
the New Friends of Music, one of
New York's more important must
cal organizations. She thinks there's
too much sameness about most mu-
steal programs - she also dis
approves of intermissions, encOres,
stage seats and prima donna dom.
There's no telling how many of
our future radio stars will succeed
because Fritz Blocki, producer of
"Your Dream Has Come True"
gave them start. Auditioning for
the program is no ordinary affair.
The entire week preceding broad
cast is spent in listening to the many
people who want to appear on the
program; when it's difficult to make
a choice between actors, a record
ing of the voice in question is made
and the radio department makes
decision.
AS big name actors and actresses
have no meaning on this program,
the unknOwns have wonderful OPP
portunity-and under Blocki's skill
full tutelage they are sure of getting
excellent training.
