Matching Hat, Handbag Give
Chic Accent to Spring Costume

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.

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. Rely on no other na
tion—on nothing but the strength of
our own resources and the courage,
ingenuity, patriotism and devotion
of our own people.”

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.
