Girls Choose
Bright Cotton
For Summer
BY JOAN DEAN

PICK COTTON little Girl if
you'd be summer-fashion right.
This advice 10 women is almost
as classic now as the old Go
west. young man" phrase. for
cotton. native American crop
makes most of summers prettiest
and practical clothes.
You can 60 round the clock
with cotton. Your house dresses
or business dresses make warm
weather's incest costumes and
done up in new shortie cotton
pajamas or embroidered cotton
nightgown you can look pretty
while you sleep.
YOU CAN glitter with cotton
glamour when you 90 dancing
under the stars, too. In fact,
the young and in-the-fashion-
know-set go about for cotton
formals. When we dropped into
a local shop TO select the one
sketched today, we had TO fight
our way through a lombard
ment of young things picking
out their summer allure.
BY dint of military strategy
we managed to make away with
the Towering beauty shown-so
that you, too. may include a
cotton formal in your summer
wardrobe.
WHITE PIQUE is the back
ground for this frankly flatter-
ing formal. And abloom on it
is a whole garden of deep pink
roses accented with green leaves.
A low heart shaped neckline
centered with a Topped bow of
blue grosgrain ribbon is practi-
cally a guarantee TO make the
plainest Jane pretty.
The basque waist extends into
a dirndl type skirt so voluminous
it would give WPB executives
heart failure. But don't be afraid
this dress was manufactured
before the newest restrictions
went into effect.
To nip in your midriff and give
added appeal 10 the frock. there's
a blue grosgrain ribbon sash
that goes twice around, ties in
big bow and finishes itself of
in long streamers.
SOMETHING SPECIAL has
been done with the shoulder
treatment of this gown. To
give you shoulder breadth and
consequently make your waist
and hips look infinitesinal. there
are deep starched f1ounces of
self material that extend over
the shoulders in pert wings.
Besides being figure flatter-
ing and interesting, this shoulder
treatment gives the frock a
happy compromise between the
completely formal and dinner
types of evening dress.
In junior sizes, the gown is
Sl2,95 and comes in two other
color combinations: tangerine
and fuchsia on white or rusty
red and leaf green on white.

VaIances
Made From
Old Curtains
BY ELEANOR ROSS

BEFORE YOU yield TO the
Inspiration Of spring sunshine
and tackle the job OF rejuvenat-
ing time-Stained bedroom fur
nishings. it's good sense and
thrifty wartime strategy 10 take
inventory of your stock of cast
off curtains and draperies.
It's an easy feat these days
even for young girls in the
grades or high school to make
their dream dressing table a
reality from a pair of cast-off
draperieS or curtains.
Old fabrics should be laun-
dered first, all seams ripped open
and a quick tinting job done
when necessary. before any start
is made on the actual project.

30 HE long-estabished custom
whicc expects the man to pay
for everything and permits the
girl to pay for nothing when they 90
out together, has now reached a very
actual point of impasse! Since We
have gone to war, tens of thousands
of young men are now drawing the
pay of a private or an apprentice
seaman. Their best girl-friends, on
the other hand, have well-paid Office
positions or war jobs.
Plainly. this reversal of their
finances requires adjustment. This
would be simple enough. were it
not for the deep-rooted prejudice of
the American man against allowing
any woman to pay for herself - let
alone for him. In her oscn home he

But even when he knows that her
job is strenuous one, it does not
occur to the average man that, after
her days work, it is probably neces-
sary for her to stop on the way home
to buy the food - which may cost
quite as much as a restaurant check

and later on dividing the balance.
One very important point to re-
member = at least, so it seems to
me is that, when he was a civil
ian, part of a mans objection to
letting a woman pay was SEEM
ingly implied lack of financial sue
cess. This at the present time no
longer holds, since the pay he gets
is regulated by Uncle Sam! If
anything. therefore, the more =
light-hearted the spirit in r
which he accepts his lack of :
income. the greater the credit .
to his patriotism. Moreover.
he is aware that much of the hospi-
tality shown him is given to his uni
form - and this puts him under less
personal obligation.
OF course, when a man in the
service can pay for a party. he is ex-
pected to do 50. But when he can't,
the girl who is with him expects him

Even with the willing help" he
gives her. she would certainly now
and then enjoy the relaxation of
being waited ON in a restaurant.
After all, it is only fair to give her
the right to say frankly: Its your
turn to have dinner with me, but
tonight l want to 60 to a restaurant.
So please be banker for me and don't
make a fuss about it." If he still
hesitates, she can perhaps bring him
up-to-date by saying: Don't be
old fashionedv'
Do Modoxn!
As A matter of fact, this practice
has previously been accepted by the
young and modern in nearly all the
great cities. A man and girl who were
good friends often pooled their
funds - she adding her share to his,
he doing the actual paying of the
waiter or the cashier or ticket seller.

is even selfish on his part to deprive
her of the fun they have when going
