Fashions Yesterday, Today

The small things that inspire
designers to create important
fashions never fail to amaze us.
A case in point is the new COL
LECTION of Nettie Rosenstein, one
OF our distinguished American de-
signers. These clothes, inspired
by those of yesterday, as worn in
the new motion picture, Jane
Eyre had their genesis in an
ornament, in tiny detail or the
turn of ruffle.
For example, there's the DASH
Ing bolero jacket and slim skirt.
1t Is worn with white blouse
that has a single side ruff1e-a
fashion that all but takes the
shirt off Rochester's back. (Re-
member him? He was the guy
who was master of the Hall where
Jane, the little governess, went
to live. 1t was his daughter she
went to teach, but as we remem-
Der the Bronte masterpiece, the
little teacher was on the receiving
end of lot of instruction that
wasn't in the books.)
Then there's Rochesters great
coat. Its slashed pockets and
deeply notched revers inspired
Miss RoSenStein to do a hand
some feminized version of that
coat with characteristic broad
shoulders that manage to achieve
tiny hand-Span waist effect. A
dramatic example of how the
fashions of yeSteryear can be
translated into one of today's
significant coats! This coat, in
cldentally, is a fine foil for a fur
hat-and you all know how our
fur-bearing friends have given
their pelts to keep the smartest
heads warm and winsome this
winter.
No matter what the inspira-
ton, our designers continue TO
borrow from the boys, and Miss
Rosenstein shows what you can
DO chat means you who sew for
yourselves with a little inspira-
ton and a lot of Imagination.
The heavy link chains on the
front of a dressing gown worn by
Rochester were the starting point
for a surplice-bosomed double
breasted wool dress, so new it
gives no hint of its last century
inspiration, while the clover
buttoned revers of a wool winter
coat were lifted" from those of

Shopping around
BY Dorothy Bihlman

FOR THE RECORD: If you've
had trouble finding a salts
factory victrola record container,
you might look at one more
that's on display in local store.
This is made of beaverboard in
box form and has alphabetical
index SeparatOrS. A closed con-
talner of this kind will help keep
the records from warping much
better than the type that leaves
the records in the open. The
box is nicely constructed and
should last indefinitely with a
reasonable amount of care.
SITTING FACTS.-We all
know that any article in the
metal line is practically impos-
sible to find these days and this
was really brought home" to
one of our scouts recently when
she went looking for flour
sitter. However, after putting
in many hours on the search she
discovered a large supply of two
cup sifterS. They are finished
in black (which might not go
with the color scheme of your
kitchen, but is a small NATTER,
and are equipped with a squeeze
type handle. BY this we mean,
that instead of having a sep
arate handle to work the sitter,
the two are combined, so all one
has to do is pour the flour in
with one hand and work the
sitter with the other. The ar
ticle is inexpensive and efficient.
ICE TRAY MAGIC.-Rubber
ice trays can still be purchased
and even the nice large ones
that make Is cubes of ice. They
are SO nice to have, for it is
much easier to remove the cubes
from these than from the metal
or even plastic types of trays.
The trays are equipped with
metal handles SO that you can
get a solid grip when removing
them from the unit.
CONSOLATION DEP ART
MENT - Wooden dish drainers
are now replacing the metal ones
and should be Just as practical,
if not more so. There is less dam
ger of chipping or scratching
china and glass and the wood
will not leave those black smear
marks on the porcelain drain
for which the metal variety were
famous. The drainers come in
two sizes and are designed with
special places for holding plates,
cups and silver.
GLITTER SPECIAL - Many
smart Washington women have
given up, for the duration, ap-
pearing at the theater and dances
in evening dress. There are many
schools of thought on the sub
ject and although some private
clubs still request evening at
tire at their functions, the pub
lie after-dark population still
likes to add touch of sparkle to
afternoon frocks when they are
to be worn on gala occasions and
nothing would be smarter than a
sequln collar with matching

homes. stores and private property.
He told of the great open spaces in
the poorer sections OF London
where homes have been completely
leyeled by the bonn bings-"yet," he
said, life goes on. People have ad-
justed themselves and get along
without the old comforts and the
wealth now wiped out by taxation.
They are still striving for their
ideal. We have our income tax. our
gas and canned goods rationing."
he said. 'but as yet We do not know
what real prlvation is. Suppose
bombs should drop. with people
killed and houses destroyed. how
will we take it? VIII we be able 10
keep poised nind?" He said. I'VE
must not let our Imagination cause
us to break. for We can imagine so
many things which will probably
never happen" He urged that we
should rather turn to constructive

with courage. He urged Victory gar
dens as an example OF what can be
done to help.
