Hi
L_
N outstanding move
A ment developing in
the world of fashion dur
ing the last several sea
sons is the Increasing at
tention given to the styl
ing of play clothes. 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

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.

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. So "attend to
your knitting" so as to be ready and
smartly knit clad when fall comes.
A charming novelty is the sweater
