NEW YORK.-There are two sides
to every question and wherever fall
fashions will be gracing the scene
you are going to find two looks
the full and the slim.
Take your choice. Take either the
voluminous look with big collars
cloaks, stiff standout materials such
as satins, taffetas and brocades
padded hips, full, full skirts, and
elaborate swag drapery. Or take the
slim wrapped look that follows the
line Of the figure. Whatever you
choose. be it full or slim, hemlines
are going to be longer.
In the forum conducted by the
New York Dress Institute Monday
morning, over $50 fashion editors
from all over the Nation, Canada
and even from Europe were told
that this fall will bring pronounced
changes-almost radical-in what
will be considered fashionable to
wear. The rounded, tapered look
flower silhouettes that come about
through the use of tunics and pep
lums, and hips that are lightly
padded for roundness are falls
promise for the smart woman.
The trend Is back to the year
1S40. In fact, as it was pointed out
to the visiting editors, the evening
dress that was popular at that time
Is the latest today on the style
scene.
Claire McCardell celebrates the re-
turn of the wool evening gown. She
does this in a red sheer wool ankle
length dress with whirling skirt
and jacket that are quilted and
embroidered Also in her collection
and one that was enthusiastically
received by the press women, was
full length, sweeping tweed eve
ming coat in brilliant green, lined
in gold pin point foulard with an
evening dress made of the same
material. An ensemble that has
long been absent from the fashion
scene and one that has now re-
ceived magic touch from the hand
of McCardell. Capes run in and
out Of her collection. They are
featured on dresses, suits and even
as wraps under their own steam y
Her skirts are truly full skirts. And
what could be more f1attering to the
youngish figure than circular skirt
that Is cut on the bias for slimneSs
at the hip~ne and for movement.
A new designer made her debut
with the couture group today. Her
name is well-known and her designs
have for many years been very
we'll received. Kiviette's first col
lection shown as part of the New
York Dress Institute couture show
ings was colorful and well-done.
Her clothes are not for the young,
but are not for the very old. either
They are glamour clothes for cafe
society-people who do a lot of
theater-g going and gadabouting
Kiviette showed woolen evening
wraps, black dresses, ball gowns,
dining gowns, and cocktail suits.
Her daytime collection was also good.
She gives her suits swing skirts
and soft shoulders very definite
fall trend-and a one-piece dress
with chartreuse top, with striped
multi-colored set-in belt and gray
skirt, topped by chartreuse Jacket
fastened with silver buttons, was
very nice. The wool dress with
the wool coat as an ensemble was
also shown: both of these in black

think she can make it, set a good
table and do some entertaining If
she plans carefully.
the two biggest savers are never
to waste any food or buy more than
is needed, and to watch the big ad-
vertisements In the Thursday Star
and the morning papers. Since
there are generally several chain
stores close to each other, skim the
cream from each. Another impor-
tant thing is to buy fruits and veg
etables IN season. They generally
taste better, anyway.
Meat, the most expensive item,
can be stretched; for example, If
you treat the family to porter
house steak, get the butcher to
grind the tail and add enough lean
beef to make a pound. Follow your
favorite recipe for meat loaf and
you have enough for two days. A
whole ham is a good buy, especially
when entertaining. You get the
ham water which is good for cook
ing beans, greens, etc; the hook to
put with kidney beans or black
eyed peas good meat substitutes
when properly cooked) and the
small chunks can be ground for ham
croquettes or cut up for Spanish
rice.
The main thing Is to think up a
menu, check 1t for costs. In these
days you can't go blithely to market
and get fresh mushrooms, red
raspberries, avocadoes and the first
peaches Of the season unless you are
either bride or millionaire.

In regard to Mrs. A. L. B., Falls
Church, request for information on
how to dust heavily carved cam
phor chest from China. I have
such a chest and fine camels hair
brush came with 1t for cleaning. /
doubt If the same style brush could
be secured in this country, but would
suggest purchasing a medium-size
paint brush, with camel's hair bris-
ties at any hardware or art goods
store. This type of brush is stiff
enough to clean all the dust from
the crevices without marring the
finish. I've had my chest for II
years and have never had trouble
cleaning 1t.

c.. I. LOAN


Veterans find there is likely
to be more grief than gravy
in a C. I. loan to enter the
trucking business.
T h e government backed
loans to give the vets a bust
ness boost started in January,
1916. Since then, over 1000
soldiers, sailors and marines
have received them. A high
percentage borrowed to buy
trucks. And a survey of II cit
les across the nation shows
defaults on truck loans lead
all the rest.
In Los Angeles, for example,
Veterans Administration Off
Gals say that NEARLY ALP
truck loans turn sour. Defaults
on these represent 800 of vets
total defaults on all kinds of
C. I. business loans in that city.
In Philadelphia, 500 of the
defaults result from truck and
automobile loans.
What is the explanation?
Some say it's because the
vets treat the trucks rough.

Army" says a Detroit banker,

VETERANS LOAN BATTLE

Not many realize it, but when Congress extended the life of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation before the June 30 deadline, it left out an important power affecting veterans-the authority to buy up veterans loans. This will seriously reduce the ability of the homeless veteran to finance new housing, since from now on the government nc onger can guarantee the banks oa veterans loans 100 percent.
 There was a tough closed d-door battle between House and Senate confeTees before this important pro vision was finally dropped. It last ed for two doys.
 Chief defenders of veterans loans were Alabama's sincere John Spark man and South Carolina's hand some Burnet Maybank. They were supported by three House Demo- crats-Paul Brown Of Georgia, SJOlNC Ol Wright Patman of Texas. But the House Republicans. rallied by stub- born Jesse Wolcott of Michigan, sometimes called the bankers friend, stood firm against it.
 Republicans on the Senate side were more friendly to the veterans, offered several compromises to linn it the aggregate total of loans and provide for screening them. But minded Wolcott would not back down
 Before the final vote, the confer ees separated into private 1uddles. The Republican Douglass Buck of Delaware, Homer Cape hart of Indiana, and Ralph Fland- CTS of Vermont-yoted to yield to the House Democrats Sparkman and Maybank. finally agreed that if they held out there would be no REC at all, promised to sign their names to the report. Among the Houce conferees, Wolcott rode roughshod over the weaker oDiec- tions of Democrats Brown. Spence, and Patman.
