John Q Sam, you look different all of a sudden. Uncle Sam—I feel different. In fact, I haven’t felt better in years. John Q.—You mean to •ay feel the best in years, with thia crisis and everything! Uncle Sam—That's just It I’ve suddenly shed the hypocrisy, torn off the blinders and gotten rid of the Little Lord Fauntleroy suit. I'm even beginning to look at facts and not wince. It's wonderful! • • • John Q — But don't you think there • re tough days ahead of you? Uncle Sam—Sure. But I’m never at my best except in tough days. I don't want to seem boastful, but in all these years of coddling, com parative ease and comfort 1 haven’t felt right. There were times when I hated to see myself in a mirror. John Q.—It's strange, but I feel the same way. I've been squawk- Ing and making demands all over the lot; I've been getting sore be- cause I had to keep the old car three seasons; I’ve been yelling murder because there were worms on the third green at the country club, and I've been working up • terrific peeve because of the lack of free gasoline. And now, sudden ly, they all seem unimportant and trivial. Uncle Sam—It's a swell break for us both. John Q,—But it means plenty of trouble, I suppose. Do you feel in condition for it? Uncle Sam—No, darn it! grown so soft it's going to be a ter- rifle battle to get into shape. John Q.—1 feel pretty flabby. too. Say, why did you let me get U ms way? Uncle Sam (indignantly)—How did I let YOU get this way! What I wanna know is how YOU let ME get this way. John Q — You’re the boss; I just do as I'm told. Uncle Sam—That’s your story, and we're both stuck with it You're the real boss. John Q — Who? Me? Uncle Sam.—I only reflect your wishes and opinions. And for years I got the idea aU you wanted was plenty of white meat John Q — Don't blame it all on me, Sam. Every time I looked at you you were busy on plans for the more abundant life. Instead of a tough, wiry old guy with his flits clenched and his sleeves rolled up, yob were tike a fat spendthrift, yell ing that life was just a bowl of cher ries and asking everybody to step up and help himself. Uncle Sam—That was your fault You got so you thought I was a SLOT MACHINE, And you were al- ways looking for the jackpot. John Q. —Why, listen, when you you should have been down to brass tacks, developing your muscles and hardening yourself for any contin gency, you were behaving as if all anybody had to worry about in this world was a bigger recreation pro gram. Uncle Sam — There you've got yourself mixed up with me again. You were the fel low who demand ed tile ba throoms, an orchid bed in every back yard, three days a week for auto trips and a guaranty against slippery roads, cold nights and sand in your lettuce. John Q — You babied me so much I got to like it I admit. Uncle Sam.—All you wanted was the brass ring, caviar with the free lunch, government distribution of strawberries and cream. John Q.—Why did you cater to me so much? Uncle Sam—I wish I knew. Ev- ery time I thought of letting you shift for yourself Toil’d start wiring me for aid in ev ery crisis, from falling hair to a leak in the radia- tor. John Q—Well, I guess it’s all”' over now.

It is indeed something to reck on with, this matter of being correctly outfitted in the field of sports. This new im- portance attached to play clothes Is proving a lively incentive to de signers to tum out outfits that shall add to the picture as well as prove practical down to the last detail. There is no more fascinating en deavor that the field of costume de sign has to offer than this of creat ing play-clothes for young moderns. It adds greatly to the pleasurable excitement that materials these days are produced so nearly per fect, not alone from the pictorial standpoint, but that they neither fade nor shrink in the wash, neither do they wrinkle or prove unseemly in the wearing. Playgrounds this season, because of the spectacular garb of fun-loving outdoor enthusi asts, burst forth in a blaze of color that fairly dazzles the eye. And of all the conspirators in the color game we know of none that are so loyally flying cheer-inspiring color ings as are the fashionable-for-play clothes plaids and stripes. The picture shows how dramati cally and picturesquely color-bright stripes and plaids are being fash ioned into clothes that go golfing, tennis playing, cruising, dude-ranch ing and so forth wherever your wan derlust happens to take you this summer. The very attractive outfit which you see to the right in the illustra tion makes one parasol-conscious at very first glance. Which is as it should be for one of the very most important events on the fashion pro gram this summer is the come-back of parasols. Designers of beach clothes find big appeal in the para- New Handknit sol Idea and whenever and wherever it la consistent to do so they intro duce an eye-thrilling parasoL It worked out beautifully for the outfit pictured to add a matching para sol. and here you see it in all Its glory flaunting the same gay stripes that give color to the smartly fash ioned skirt The fabric combination for this costume is a very happy one of stripe-printed celanese crepe for the skirt and parasol with sharkskin in monotone for the blouse top. You can get such easy-to-follow patterns for play clothes nowadays, and modern sewing machines have such a vast equipment of gadgets and attachments that almost per form miracles in stitching, tucking, quilting, shirring, cording, it is a temptation to make one’s own out fits. Many smart, fashion-aware women are doing Jbst that, buying up pretty materials and making their own. It is a fact the records show that the home-sewing idea is decidedly on the increase. Consider, in the light of being your own dressmaker, the charming gaytime sun suit which the girl seat ed is wearing. Just a few yards of seersucker plaided in vivid colors were required. You can make the whole outfit by spending only a cou ple of hours at your sewing machine even if you are a beginner at the sewing game. A little gathering at tachment in your sewing machine kit will dispose of the yards of gath ering at the waistline in just a few moments. You'll love the swirling ballerina skirt and the smartly fit ted jacket top that furnish the styl ing theme for this outfit (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Sheer Black Hat • Is Smart Fashion The new hats of sheer black horse hair braid or of thin net or chiffon are registering as one of the sea son's outstanding successes. The smartest ones have large brims that are styled to wear far back on the head so that they halo hair and face with a mist of wispy black. They give you the dress-up look that is so important for special occasions. You'll love a hat of this type with your black and white prints and with the all-black afternoon sheer costumes that are high fashion this summer. Ing and becoming.

That Nawini Backache Berets for Smart Summer Headwear Fashion experts predict an enthu siastic revival of knitted costumes with emphasis on hand-knit sweaters for fall. This pert little bolero sweat er is just the thing to slip on with your summer outfits and it will prove a life-saver to bridge over midsea son days. It is easily made in sim ple drop stitch using contrasting pas tel yarns. Though the yarn gives the impression of being heavy and substantial it is in reality light as a feather. For chic millinery to wear now and through the fall, the beret, big, black and dramatic carries the hon ors. The present beret vogue is gaining momentum by leaps and bounds. One way of wearing the new beret is to pose it far back on the head. There are also dra matic profile berets that turn up pic turesquely at one side. It is worth while to study up on the beret move ment for be assured berets are im- portant millinery news. Big Revival for Patriotic Jewelry Knitted Fashions Is Latest Fashion The latest fashion gesture is to wear a decorative piece of patriotic jewelry. Of course the American flag comes first in clips or brooches. It has jeweled stripes and stars in red white and blue. Glittering Amer ican eagle emblems eloquently be speak patriotism and they are ever so decorative posed on suit lapel or at the neckline of your summer frock*. Knitwear enthusiasts here’s good news for you, in that nearly every fashion report mentions the coming importance of hand • knitted cos tumes, capes, sweaters and three- quarter cardigans.
