Thursday, Fsb. 13. 1941 The Gold Hill News, Gold Hill, Oregon Matching Hat, Handbag Give Chic Accent to Spring Costume GENERAL HUGH S. JOHNSON By CHERIE NICHOLAS Jour: w m , | F YOU want to be I fa s h io n -w is e th is spring, it is absolute ly necessary that you become thor oughly and wholeheartedly acces sory-minded. From the very start in assembling your new wardrobe, keep firm ly implanted in your mind that accessories, above all else, are cast to play the dram atic role in fashion this "season. Do this and you w ill find yourself safely charted in the right course through both spring and summer. I t is a m atter of tradition that a new and becoming hat ever has and ever w ill prove the most effective first aid in sounding the first joyous note of spring. This season fashion goes the idea "one better” with the insistence that a matching handbag complete the picture by way of add ing dram a to the occasion. T ry the hat-and-matching-handbag-way and you w ill find that it works like magic in broadcasting the glad tidings of spring. Note the quartette of fetching hat- and-bag ensembles shown in the il lustration. Twosomes of this sort are typically "first fashion” news for spring. At the upper right of the group a navy blue stucco braid beret is shown which claims distinc tion because of the bright patriotic- colored strips which detail the beret and are repeated in the "nautical knots” which enliven the navy felt handbag. By the way, navy w ill be tremendously smort again this sea son. To the upper left the problem of matching hats and handbags has been eliminated by two well-known American designers. Clear synthet- ic strips laced through the Howard Hodge hat and the Nat Lewis hand bag subtly emphasize harmony of colors and materials. In the popu lar South American manner the hat of artichoke straw has a high pleat ed crown ot the same flame red felt used for the handbag. Below to the right black felt and spaghetti braiding is manipulated into a new version of the fashionable off-the-face pillbox with its low-tied bow of the braid, repeated in the laced handbag. F o r the handsome hat and bag set pictured on the figure seated, bright green silk petal-shirred gros- grain ribbon is used by L illy Dache. A matching petal-shirred envelope bag completes this distinctive ac cessory ensemble. The supremacy of accessories in the spring mode carries courage and inspiration in the thought that the movement is being aided and abetted by the very highest style- creative talent in all industries that pertain to fashion in women’s ap parel. The whole trend is to cor relate and to co-ordinate costume detail. To this end designers, man ufacturers and merchants are en thusiastically working together to co-ordinate color, m aterial and style motif. By way of suggestion when you go accessory seeking, look up the new tiger yellows and browns, tha many smart greens, the beiges, Peruvian pink, the new pastel jewel colors, and reds are bolder and brighter than ever. New ‘Half Hat’ Jewelry Innovation Adds Chic to Frocks Of all the exciting fashion news for spring, 1941, what is more exciting than the novel “ half hat” recently turned out by L illy Dache I There will no doubt be a rush for these flattering flowery hats when the sea son gets into full swing, for they are not only charming but practical. Unusual Fabrics Enhance Dresses Unusual fabrics frequently add to the attractiveness of evening gowns. A little use of the imagination will often produce satisfactory results. I f you are a sm art young person you might consider going to the up holstery department next time you need m aterial for a new evening dress. You will be doubly smart if you choose m aterial with a gray background. Hpavy gray rayon taffeta has great possibilities, as docs gray sat in with tiny motifs in gold or striped and damask designs. This m aterial is so wide that it takes only a few yards to make a beautiful dress. (R eleased by W estern N ew spaper U nion.) A new development in the jewelry realm is clips that come in series from two to three, four or five. They vary in size and are worn along a neckline or aré clipped or pinned to sweep down one side of the bodice like a flock of little birds. Another version of the jewel series is interpreted in several clips that may be worn singly, in a series or fastened together to form one im portant individual-looking piece. Such is the new lotus flower clip. One clip may be the flower, an other the bud still another the fo liage. Wear them separately and they serve many purposes, fasten them together (they are made to do just that) and you have one impos ing piece of jewelry to wear with your evening gown. The idea is carried on in some in stances to include matching finger ring and earrings. Main Street Gone From Fashion World "There is no more Main Street in Fashion,” declared Mrs. Wilhela Cushman, fashion editor of Ladies Home Journal, before a conven tion of retailers and manufacturers who recently held their spring na tional shoe fa ir in Chicago. Mrs. Cushman says she has found in her travels of 20,000 miles in the past that Main street and Fifth avenue meet and now launch simultaneously the same advance fashions. Declaring that this season "a cos tume will be made by its acces sories,” Mrs. Cushman said that bags w ill be bigger, softer and more colorful. In footwear, the news is of softer shoes. There is a new softness about the leather used. The seamless glove w ill also be featured this season, she added. i , I . a tm J Density of Fogs In 1921, the British weather bu reau set up standards tor describ ing fogs which fa ll into more or less definite categories. They range from “Very dense,” in which objects become invisible at 27 yards distance in the daytime, pockets, make this an unusually through “ thick,” “ rather thick,” interesting version of your favorite "fog,” “ moderate,” "m ist or thick button-front classic. haze,” and “ slight mist or haze” There’s m ighty little to the —in which objects are visible at a making, as you can see.

S E L F C O N TR A D IC TIO N The proponents of the Morgenthau "lease-lend” bill are certainly ta lk ing themselves into a position of self-contradiction which it m ay take their lifetime to explain. The ex planation required may not be merely lack of logic—it may be of why they helped to ruin their coun try by using their official positions to dignify statements that, from a private citizen, wouldn't stand two minutes cross-examination before a justice of the peace. Secretary Morgenthau, who began by trying, without consulting public opinion at all, to divert our w ar sup plies to France, where H itle r got them, says that if we do not pass that bill, Britain w ill have to stop fighting. Secretary Stimson,. also urging this particular bill, says that it must pass at once, because if Britain stops fighting, we are subject to attack. M r. Morgenthau’s argument is that “ they haven’t any dollars left." That may or m ay not be so, and probably isn’t, but if the secretary means that they have nothing which they can pledge as collateral it cer tainly is not so— net by billions. There is considerable apprehension in Canada that, if we begin giving our manufactures away to B ritain, Canada will lose a lot ot business. The British have to pay Canadian industry, also British industry, not to mention all the other nations of the British Commonwealth and the whole of the rest of the world. Only Uncle Sam is rushing out again to give away his—well, let's call them innards—when even the association of British nations give not theirs. O. K ., failing a franker and more credible statement of this flnan- cial problem, most of us are willing to give England money outright to buy our just share of aid to her and to the precise extent—and not one inch further—than it really contrib utes to American defense. We want congress to control these appropri ations for the efense of B ritain just as it must control appropriations (or the defense of Am erica. The "lease-lend bill doesn’t do that. I t authorizes the President alone to make, buy and give Britain unlim it ed billions worth of our resources without consulting congress. If, therefore, as Secretary M or genthau has said, it is only a ques tion of dollars for Britain, no argu ment is left for the much wider powers of the “ lease-lend” bill. Other official “ opinions” that G reat Britain can lick Germany on the continent with our aid, that if G reat Britain doesn’t, Germany will lick us etcet, etcet; aren’t worth the paper on which they are written or the breath with which they are spoken. Modern w ar is too unpre- dictable. There is only one rule for us— a burning lesson of this terrible age. "A rm for impregnable Am er ican defense.

And the lines of stitching, the turned-down corners of the D E F E N S E A U T H O R IT Y Secretary Stimson says that one reason for bum’s-rushing the in creasingly discredited "lease-lend” bill is that it w ill cure the “ disorder which has existed for nearly two years in the manufacture of muni tions." His point is that the President must purchase all supplies for our several defense departments and also for any allies because, other wise, they would compete with each other, raise prices and create con fusion. Whatever confusion has “ existed” is not traceable to any lack of ex ecutive authority. Up to the middle of last year, our government had no plans whatever lor adequate defense and then, in a moment of panic, dumped indigest ible billions of dollars of totally un co-ordinated orders into the lap of an unwarned industry. I t is due also to the long and inexcusable lag in setting up any single authorized and intelligent control. That hasn’t been done yet. "* I t was not because government had not been warned by the voice of intense and highly successful ex perience. B. M . Baruch warned it over and over again as to precisely what was wrong and what was nec essary to cure it. To use the excuse that M r. Stim son thus advanced for the passage of this totalitarian bill—this gratui tous American assumption of re sponsibility for the world-wide con duct of this w ar— is either a confes sion of ignorance or it is an attempt to frighten this nation into such an . abandonment of democratic and con stitutional processes as is neither necessary nor desirable. The second and only other point of M r. Stimson's argument is that the barter process of "lease-lend” or “ otherwise dispose of” our weapons is “ more flexible” than the advancement of credit or cash. "M ore flexible” for whom? Money and credit were invented and over the ages have proved to be the most flexible of all methods of exchange of goods between nations. One of , our chief complaints against H jtler j is his design to substitute barter in , kind for money transactions. The ¡ secretary’s testimony is self-contra- ( dictorv and astonishingly absurd. fe e / inside G A R F IE L D T E A For P ro m p t o p ia te s A ' I j i 1 ! ___ Look In your m irro r.
