Fashions Of Years
Past, Satin Carriers,
Are Chic Once Again
By MARY HARRINGTON
United Press Staff Correspondent

OA1VSA L 1SSo 0saAA SOkA SSPOIAASAs
NEW YORK, Jan. 18.-Red satin
garters with lots of lace now adorn
hundreds of pretty legs along the
great white way. And they've all
got change purses attached for
mad money.
Girls once concealed travel fare
(for necessary solitary trips home
after eventful dates) in their shoes.
Open-toes slippers ended that.
Certain other places of conceal
ment weren't reliable. The money
dropped to the floor.
But Actress June Knight, self
acclaimed garter expert of the
nation, came to the rescue. She's
been too busy starring in Broad
way hit to get a patent yet. But
she's given change purse garters
to all her female acquaintances.
every girl needs mad money
when she goes on a date" Miss
knight said. "I've been married
twice and I know about having
to take the subway home"
But there isn't man alive who
would think that girl might con-
ceal spare change in her garter.
That's the. theory Miss Knight said
was behind her invention.
MY garter gives girls an air
of independence" Miss knight
said.
The change purse, an inch square
and prettily adorned with a rosette
of lace and red satin ribbon, is
big enough to conceal a subway
nickel or II hundred dollar bill,
depending on just how far you
think you might be when the sltua-
ton gets involved.
"Supposing, too, a man pretends
ae's lost his cash and can't pay
the nightclub check" Miss Knight
said. your pocketbook will be
empty, and he can't say you've
any money on you"
She said there were, however,
certain rules about garters only
garter experts know.
"Never wear more than one
garter" Miss Knight said. cts
bad luck. Besides any fool knows
satin garters aren't supposed to
hold up stockings. They're supposed
to hold up a girls morale"
And another thing, Miss Knight
said, garters should be worn only
a little bit above the knee, the
right knee.
"Then when the wind blows or
you cross your legs, the garter
shows" she said. "After all, what's
the sense of having something
pretty if no one can see it?"

signed by Joseph Whitehead, bows
tc the Victorian past with ar
apron-like detail made of lace
which winds up in the back IN a
hustle from which the skirt dips IN
an abbreviated train.
EYELET EMBROIDERY
White eyelet embroidery holds
= top spot in ranks of choice cot
tons. This spring it combines with
taffeta for more full-skirted swish.
Example is the demurely-styled
party frock, left, the skirt OF which
is part .eyelet embroidery, and
part navy taffeta, which dips IN
the back to make tiny train.
This dress owes its naive look to
bodice as sinply-stylec as a
childs, with short puffed sleeves,
an unadorned neckline, and a cor
sage of field flowers placed at
the Waistline.
