prints are for everybody. Time
was no self-respecting stout
would dare get into a print.
The old complaint that prints
make you look SO much
larger!" no longer holds
water. The right prints : and
there are SO many right ones
can certainly make too-thin
woman look fuller, but they
can also make a plump lady
appear simmer.
Imaginative and ingenious
fabric designers have come
up with some wonderful
patterns, ranging from tiny,
geometric designs that give
the effect of stripes, to wild,
mad florals, calculated to
stop shows. Color too, has
assumed an interesting role
in prints. Colors that formerly

In the spring, a young
woman's fancy turns toward
new hats, different hair-dos,
diets, softer makeup and
navy blue suits with touches
of white. These are the symp-
toms of spring fever, and the
ingredients that produce a
renewed zest for living.
High on the list of spring
"musts" are prints. Prints
are almost as vital to the
full enjoyment of spring as
birds and buds.

together are happy partners,
both in large, splashy prints
and in small. pin-head de-
signs.
The one-piece dress with
the gently-raised waistline
(McCall's Pattern 4689) is
made of an unusual print of
many shades of brown. The
touches of champagne blend
into the deeper tans and rich
browns. This is one of those
comfortable dresses that
moves with the body in long,
fluid lines. Ii is also one of
the prints that lends itself
beautifully to the larger
figure. The band at the waist
line ends in a pert bow and
the bodice front has 3-button
opening.
The pattern is equally at
home in solid cottons, light
weight woods and silks. The
neckline can take a wide
variety of ropes or chokers;
or a pin might be clipped to
the heart Of the bow, as it's
shown here.
The length of both skirts
is somewhat shorter than last
season. The skirt-length
hassle seems to be over and
it appears the consensus of
opinion that the most fashion
able length is and will be
just below the knee.

popular whims of this sea-

can be found anywhere from

Preston Sturges, Writer,
Producer and Director

NEW YORK, Aug. 6 (AP) -
Preston Sturges. one-time top
Hollywood producer, writer and
director who authored a Broad
way hit play. died early today
of heart attack.
1 The Chicago-born SturgeS,
who would have been 81 years
old on August %, died in his
room at the Hotel Algonquin
a favored hostelry of theatrical
folk-where he had lived for
several months.
Mr.. Sturges' play Strictly
Dishonorable," which later was
made into a movie, was a smash
hit on Broadway. Produced in
1929 the play ran for two
years.
With Mr.. Sturges when he
died was DR.. B. A. Gilbert, a
neighborhood physician, and
Miss Elaina Long, Mr.. Sturges'
personal secretary.
Mr. SturgeS' fourth wife,
Anne Margaret Nagle, who is
known as actress Sandy Mellen,
was reported to be in Holly
wood.
Started as Writer
Mr.. Sturges had a hard time
crashing Hollywood, where he
went in 1882 as a writer for
Universal International. But
he hit the FINLAND jackpot in
the late 1905 after he offered
to sell Paramount a script for
$10-if he could direct the
movie.
Paramount accepted, and the
result was The Great Nc
Ginty." A political satire
starring Brian Donlevy, the
picture won Mr.. Sturges an
Academy Award for the best
screen play of 1910.
Mr.. Sturges reached his
Hollywood zenith in the late
Dos and early 40s. He scofed
at the trend toward message"
pictures, once saying: I try
only to please the public, not
the intelligentsia. I've no
patience with those who find
solace in artistic success.
After all, the theater's idea
is to get people inside. If you
can't do that. the effort isn't
worth while"
Teamed With Hughes
After a series of movie fiops.
Mr.. SturgeS formed a partner
ship with Howard Hughes. The
venture ended after a dispute
over the film Vendetta" a
costly failure.
Mr.. SturgeS left Hollywood
about 10 years ago and went
to New York and Europe.
A subsequent writing job at
Paramount, where he made his
first big hit, didn't last long.
Mr.. Sturges was born Ed
mund Preston Biden, son of
Edmund and Mary Biden. La
ter adopted by his stepfather,
