NEW YORK-One of the biggest
fashion stories for spring is SASH
es. They're featured in every i'm
portant New York collection of tail
ored, afternoon and short dinner
dresses. And their never-ending
variety of widths, lengths, loops,
bows and streamer ends give fresh
interest to the familiar streamlin-
ed wartime Silhouette.
A Surefire success will be the
sophisticated, buttoned-dow1l-th
back black crepe tabular after
noon frock, tied with a little girl
sash of purple and fuchsia satin,
its bow as big and it's steamers as
long as the one ON your first party
frock. For less formal occasions,
this sash may be substituted for
one of less obvious proportions or
a narrow black belt.
Dramatic and spirit-lifting is
the sashed tangerine and sulphur
crepe which stole the show at a
recent early spring style show.
The W. neckline of the tangerine
blouse plunges almost to the point
where the draped sulphur skirt
lis joined to it. An eight-inch-
wide sash of tangerine appliqued
with sulphur coin dots, casually
Topped over at the center front,
gives it undeniable distinction.
The cummerbund is another
belt style which sashayed past
the fashion press time and again
throughout the new collections.
In lustrous black cire satin, it gives
Ia soft dressmaker look to the
trinity tailored suit of black and
write checked wool, which uses
the same satin to bind the edges
of the bolero and side buttoned
closing of the skirt.
Incidentally, a sash is an excel
lent way to bring last years frock
up to date, or give an ensemble
look to the several odd blouses
and skirts you may have hanging
in your closet. Rummage through
your box of odd pieces of mate
rial and try your hand at concoct-

the matter of enlisting in the

count on the same understanding.
Naturally, men personally would
rather their women be at home.
But so would every woman who
loves man prefer to have him
safe at home, rather than facing
the dangers and hardships of war.
