THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, JUNE 25, 1923 5 GAY COLORS RtJLE IN VACATION ATTIRE; ALL-WHITE SMART BUT RATHER COSTLY Clothes for Summer Outing Now Back of Every Woman's Thoughts Shoppers in July Sure to Have Benefit of Wonderful Bargains. iAxiUi Z&issrttor- f& &?yslrtTps7 Sb ThsnS&ssSyOajr titers; - i ..... t VACATION clothes are at the back of iviry o m a n's thoughts ni-w, whatever else she is intent upon at . the moment. Most vacations are" planned by noiv, though they may not actually take place until mid-August. Anyhow, the clothes therefor must be provid ed and most . vacation wardrobes, also, are planned out whether the wearables are already' bought or only kept in mind. ; . Women who have only a . two or three weeks' outing at shore or mountains because they, are wage - earners 'or because. the go away only when husband takes his vacation in August, are waiting for the early July bargains, After the all-summer vacationers who have flitted from town by the middle or end of June have departed, the big shops i cut down prices, and she who does her vacation shopping in July has) the benefit of wonderful bargains if not quite so wide a choice. But at any rate she-knows exactly what she wants and what the established styles for the summer are. Bright Colors Popular. For one thing, the woman who has waited to buy knows that this is to be a summer of very gay colors unless one wears all white. White sports clothes are the very smartest thing this summer; but they do cost a lot of money. Not only because any costume in one-tone must be of the best materials lacking the variety and dash of color but also because white clothes, worn outdors con tinually, are so expensive to keep immaculate. They are delectable -three-piece costumes of white eponge and white flannel frock and cape, all Snowy white and destined to spend frequent intervals at the cleaners.. There are sport frocks of white linen embroidered with white soutache or hand-hemstitched. There are airy dresses of white handker chief linen and lovely graceful frocks of white crepe de chine. To go with these enchanting white cos tumes one must have white hats and kid strap slippers and silk ' stock ings. But the snow-white clothes are at the pinnacle of exclusive style, and the great mass of summer attire is gayly colored. The demure grays and dashing black-and-white effects of last year are past and gone. Dove gray sweaters this season are on the marked-down counters, if you have noticed. Paris is weary of mourning and semi-mourning and has plunged into a very orgy of color, and, of course, mid-summer is the time of times to exploit gay colored wearables. Vacation eeds Hon In Grooves. For a two or three weeks' vaca tion anywhere one needs certain clothes and, in general, these clothes are of the same type wherever the holiday is spent unless it is a cruise by water or a sojourn in camp in the wilds. At any summer colony, wheiher you stay at a cottage or at a .1 yur needs are: Sport clothes fo "-day wear, dainty frocks for lt e noon and evening or dress up rt attire made for veranda and uoard-walk wear only, and dance frocks for affajrs of impor tance at the hotel or at the yacht club nearby. This forms the nucleus 'f your vacation wardrobe.- If you swim you mrst have a bathing suit, and if you golf or play tennis. sp -ciil tosn for these sports must be l.rovided. .Motoring and sailing must have special wearables, too warm enough and rough-and-ready enough to stand rain and shine. Most women this summer want a tweed or homespun sport suit, suit able for traveling and. for all-summer sport wear. The toomespun suits in violet, gray-blue and raspberry or i-oral shades a;e popular for they express tht season's ciaze for color, unless the suit combines a loose, sporty jacket and one-piece frock, t-ometimes the frock is sleeveless tu wear with thin, . cool guimpes. Ai.u you can always pick up a m0MM:m Jf $A Hill saucy little hat matching the frock in material. These gay - colored traveling costumes of summer give a very bright and lfvely aspect to every railroad terminal now on a Saturday w hen ' week - end crowds throng waiting rooms and plat forms. Tweed sport and traveling suits are quieter in color but have the same easy,; graceful lines. They also come in tw-o-piece models. One very desirable suit, of mixed gray Eng lish tweed, has a loose mandarin jacket with small- turnover collar and tie and a ski t that buttons at the hiplint to a long-wais'.ed blouse of periwink'e blue canton crepe. The skirt may be buttoned to other blouses, making a pleasant' variety in the costume. ; A most charming item of this summer's wardrobe is the cool, flut- Mi s fl v , tery frock of striped silk shirting. The simplest models are preferred one-piece frocks with set-in sleeves, square pockets on the skirt and a narrow belt of the material, at a low waistline. A pretty frock of the sort is of lavender and white striped shirting with turned-back cuffs. Eton collar a-nd pockets of plain white rub silk cross-stitched at the edge in lavender wool. - Nothing cooler or more delightful for a sum mer day could be imagined and the silk shirting, of course, will wash and wash! For afternoon wear and after supper wear at the average slimmer reso ; a-e frocks of white linen with bands of hemstitching in pan els and borders; f:ocks of handker chief linen exquisitely pintucked and hemstitched by hand, aid frocks of crepe de chine in the new printed effects, the color printings massed in spots on the frock rather than scattered all. over it. The bloused kimono bodice with very low sash line and short sleeve is favored for little silk afternoon frocks, and skirts usually have panels or dra pery at the sides that droop low in an, irregular line below the edge of the skirt itself. Bathing Suits- Take Fringes. Silk fringe makes your bathing dress very smart just now. Ratrusr narrow fringe put in several rows is preferred, and very smart are bathing dresses of jade or tangerine jersey (bright color if you can wear it this year) with lines of narrow black fringe. To be correct, you must positively have a big cape to cover your bathing dress on the beach. The cape may be of knitted wool in soft, bright color, or of the same material as your bathing cos tume, and trimmed with fringe to match. Take your smartest dance frock alongTYou may need it only once but then you will need it very much. Stunning evening gowns are worn at summer dances, and silver slip pers, feather fans and sparkling coiffure bandeaux play their impor tant part. Any woman will perceive the prac tical qualities of this (1957) suit at first glance in addition to its smartness and attractiveness. The Prbbloms of DresmakinX ' by MadamRicker line. The girdle should be of the same material as you employ for dress, as i" e unbroken line at waist is best. .. dark blue, bottle green or ..taupe would be g'ood colors. The binding and facings of fushcia for the blue and taupe and the amber brown with the green. Will be glad to be of further help should you require this column. Dear Madam Richet: I am inclosing sampie and picture like I have dress which I would like to make over- but don't just know how to . so about it. The collar and vest are of pongee, which I do not like. . The sleeves are rather tight. . I am 5 feet 2 inches tall, bust 3, hips 38. waist 26. weight 120. I am rather short walsted. I don't want to get any more goods to go with it if 1 can help it. I am making a blouse like inclosed sample of silk with a hip belt. Will that be worn this summer? If not, what can I do with it? The sleeve Is long loose, with cuff and an inch ruffle of pleating with round collar with the pleating. Would like to know if that is quite all right. I will appreciate any suggestions you can make. I sew very .well but cannot plan. I will thank you now for the help I know you will give me. MRS. J. G. Mrs. J. G. : The fact that your girdle extends as high has a ten dency to cut your waist line more than need be ar.d so if you have the material underneath I would drop the belt to more of the hip girdle type. Also remove your vest and collar and have the batiste or the organdy. The sleeves can be short ened and the cuff to match the col lar be placed thereon. With the amount of material you have in your tunic you could fashion an en tirely new sleeve. Also would you not welcome an apron effect rather than the style you now have? The waist you are making is quite all right and will be cool and comfortable. The belt effect will be worn this summer. Wear with j-our waist a chain of the light blue or the white beads, as with the dark ruffling you will be glad for the brightening. ROSEBURG, Or., March 12. Dear Madam Kicliet: I have a skirt of an old dress consisting of a rather long skirt and overskirt, like the inclosed sample, also have two pieces of new maternal of the same, each being about two yards long. Both the skirt and the overskirt are cut in three-piece fashion. I am .,irp there is enough material in the skirt to make a waist and sleeves for another dress, and this would leave the new material for the skirt. I also have about 60 each of round and soaure lace medallions, about iV4 incnea mi, which exactly match the material. Ow ing to the weave of this cloth, it has to be made up crosswise, and it is just wide enough to make a skirt length for me, not allowing anything, however, for a hem. I am 5 feet 3 inches tall, bust 40, waist 29, hips 45. Will you kindly sug gest a way to make this up into a rather conservative afternoon drees? And also please tell me what you think should be worn as a slip with this dress. I am 43, fair, not much color. I also have a beautiful duvetyn suit, in a medium brown, plain tailored model. This skirt suffered an accident and was taken to a tailor for repair. He set in a piece of the material (taken from the hem across the back width, about four inches wide and nearly across the breadth of the skirt, which is made with tour gores. This mend is about H inches from the belt in the back. The coat covers it, but I would like to have it fixed in some way so that it can be worn without the coat, in the house. I am very handy with the needle and can embroider very well. I had though of covering the mend with some sort of embroidery or braiding, but never have found a pattern that 1 thought was suit able. Owing to my height or, rather, lack of height' do not want to use any thing that would tend to shorten. Can you help me to soive the problem, please? MRS. EVELYN JOHNSON. Evelyn Johnson, Roseburg, Or. You are indeed fortunate to have such unusual material, and in the Delineator for July you will find, on page 24, No. S844, a splendid model for your tan "linen pine apple'' cloth. Inasmuch as you can not have the hem, have the bottom border of the taffeta and the trim- ! ming as shown on the sleeves and at the neck ai.d sash. The taffeta I would have in the fuschia shade and likewise the underslip. These shades combine well and you will have the touch of color you require. I always hesitate in saying that a problem is beyond solution, but in your case the braiding of the set in would make your skirt more patched. If you were taller I would suggest the block design planning that one of the blocks should come over the piece "in trouble," but such a design cuts the height. With the sash enjoying the present favor, why not one to match your material, keeping the long ends at the back? HOOD RIVER, Or., May 16. Dear Madam Richet: 1 have a blue voile dress with gold stripes which has , a rather full-gathered skirt with three wide tucks and waist with Tuxedo collar and f-ont: short sleeves, above the elbow; vestee of tucked net, also cuffs and cver-collar of the net. I would like to make it look like a different dress. Khali I have slip of same color to wear under it? I have a royal purple sweater. Tux edo style. What kind of skirt would look good with this? Also have a skirt like sample made plain with gathers in the back. The goods is cut on the bias, is this goods still worn and is skirt all right as It is? What kind of blouse shall I wear with it? I am 6 feet 3 inches tall, bust 3I inches, weigh 120 pounds and have dark hair, brown eyes and plenty of color. Thanking you in advance. M RS. C. D. Mrs. C. D., Hood River. In the Butterick Quarterly is a dress quite i as you describe and the only change I I would suggest would be in the vest, collar and cuffs. The fresh organdy or the dainty "batiste will change your frock more than you perhaps imagine. See page 22, model 3518. The same blue as a slip will be best to wear with the voile. To wear with your royal purple sweater I would advise the cream I flannel skirt, either in the side ! pleats or in the bow type. The skirt which -Vou have, as per sample, is i j in very good style and worn with t a blouse of the gold shade as seen , in the stripe would make a very at ' tractive outfit. Kindly see the model skirt, may be buttoned to another blouse or the blouse may be worn with another skirt made intlve same style. Coat and skirt are of soft gray tweed and the blouse is of periwinkle blue canton crepe. The coat is especially graceful and comfortable with its loose lines, mandarin sleeve and soft roll collar fastened by a little string tie. Wonderfully comfortable and con venient are these (1608) big wool capes for motoring, sailing or sit ting outdoors o' evenings. And noth ing' is smarter this season than .a knitted cape of the style pictured. It is made of gorgeously yellow worsted with border and cuffs in white angora. A deep yoke gives shapely contour over the shoulders and the huge convertible collar may be worn several days. A graceful addition is the scarf tie with fringed ends that depend from the yoke in front. , Ideal for morning and sport wear on hot summer days are these (2121) little one-piece frocks of silk shirt ing and the beautiful fabric laun ders as successfully as the prover bial muslin. The frock in the pic ture is of white silk shirting striped in lavender. Collar, cuffs and pock ets are of plain white silk cross stitched with a darker shade of lav ender. The shady hat is of violet straw With trimming of worsted in two shades of violet. saown on page 48, No. 3358, in the Butterick. Tne fact that your skirt is striped demands the plainer line of blouse, and I am sure the one numbered will please you. The crepe de chine or taffeta will com bine well with your material. WEST LIXN, Or. Dear Madam Richet: I have written once before and, not hearing from you, will try again. Would a little sport shirt made out of striped silk shirting be all right for a small boy 5 years of age? And I am making a waist out of some very pale p'nk crepe de chine. Would you advise beadimr it and what color beads would you use? The waist is for a 14-year-old girl, who wishes it beaded. Can you tell me where I can get the Ideal patterns? Is a 14-year-old girl too young to wear false fronts? WEST LINN. WEST LINN, West Linn. Or. The silk, shirt, for the young lad will be quite all right if the pattern is not too bold and large. As you know, a grown-up can carry a design of goodly proportion, which a small bny cannot. As- for the waist for your daughter, I would not think of beading it, but rather outline a dainty line design in the silver thread. We see on every hand the young girl with the apparel of the matron and I am sure that if you approach the subject in this light your daughter will be happy to accept your better judgment. I regret that I cannot here men tion the place from which the Ideal patterns can be obtained. A 14-year-old girl, or any other aged girl, is in my opinion abso lutely too young to- wear the false fronts. Plenty of good- air and wholesome living will produce the real condition desired. I write in all kindness, good reader, that which I wish all mothers to see, and that is that it behooves every parent to be the judge in the case regarding the clothes of her daughter. Good sound thinking and no backsliding. VANCOUVER, Wash. Dear Madam Richet: I have a navy tricatine dress, very good material, but it is too narrow. It's bound with heavy cream flannel; it's straight., with seams down the front; the width is' 44 inches. 1 also made a hat, black turban, and all around it is a pink plume. Do you think that is all right, or would you dye the plume another color, if so what color and. how do you color them? I am 5 feet 1 inch, weight 128 pounds and light complexion, lots of color in my face. Please publish in the Sunday pa per, as I do not take the daily. VANCOUVER. Vancouver, Vancouver. Wash. As your dress has the flannel trim, why not widen your skirt by adding the inserted sides in the flannel? The contrasting sport apparel has a su preme place in the fashion world, and I feel sure that you would, en joy th's change. The Pictorial Re view summer quarterly has, on page 42 (No. 9131), a- charming model. Shorten your sleeves and wear a blue or creme suede belt. The hat which you have made is in good style and all depends upon the becomingness. The type of hat to be worn with your blue sihould be a rather wide brim with a tail ored bow, the hat of blue and the bow or quill of white. Plumes dye well with the use of the home dyes now on the market. Hang in the shade and when dyed fluff in the sun and curl by gently pulling the ends over the back of a paper cut ter. Be sure that you take your time and care in the latter process, otherwise the ends break and the resmlt is an unhappy one. Dear Madam Richet: The inclosed sample of material Is made -surpiice waist, with large button hole on right side for sash to slip through, making sash bow in back.. The skirt is in two piece width, with front and back alike, having iwo pleats at each side of front with the same in the back. There is nothing pretty or attractive about the dress. Have had It two years and worn it very little. I am stouter than when it was made. What could I combine with it to make it serviceable for this summer and still use economy? What material would you .suggest for skirt to wear with my cream wool jersey jacket and how long should I wear my (skirts?

TODAY'S BEAUTY HINT It is not necessary to shampoo your hair so frequently if it is en tirely and properly cleansed each time by the use of a really good shampoo. The easiest to use and quickest drying shampoo that w can recommend to our readers is one that brings out all the natural beauty of the hair and may be en joyed at very little expense, by dis solving a teaspoonful of canthrpx, which can be obtained from any druggist, in a cup of hot water. This makes a full cup of shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy to apply It to all the hair instead of Just to the top of the head. This, when rubbed into the scalp and onto every strand of hair, chemically dissolves all Impurities. It is very soothing and cooling in its action, as well as beneficial to both scalp and hair. After rinsing out the lather so cre ated, you will find the scalp is fresh, clean and free from dandruff, whils the hair dries quickly and evenly, developing a bright luster and a soft fiuffiness that makes it seem very heavy.
