CTOP, look, listen. Miss
Collegiate and Miss
Teen age and Miss Junior!
This should interest you.
It's all about assembling
a back-to-school wardrobe
within a minimum clothes budget
that will turn you out looking the
part of a fashion sophisticate. Well,
here's letting you in on the secret
—it's just a matter of planning your
clothes collection in terms of swank
wash apparel. Follow up this idea
and you will have the joy and satis
faction of achieving a style prestige
along with the best of your sorority
group. As to economy, that's the
best part of the story.
Modem wash materials are more
amazing than ever. The handsome
weaves with a suiting woolish fin
ish, the crepes, the spun rayons
(one of the marvels of the age), the
eye-appealing rayon and other syn
thetic silks and satins (fit for a
queen),
the smart suede-finish
cloths, the stunning corduroys, the
handsome plaids and stripes (three
cheers for 'em), the color-gloried
prints are that convincingly good
looking they definitely outclass any
thing in the way of wash fabrics
that has ever gone before.
As to this wide range of versa
tile weaves, their adaptability to ev
ery conceivable sort of all-purpose
wear is astonishing—a miracle in
modern times! Pajama costumes,
slacks, shirts, house coats, swim
suits, negligees, afternoon dress-up
frocks, party gowns and "prom"
formals, in short a schoolgirl's ev
ery need is met in the wash-apparel
specialty shops and in departments
devoted to washables these days.
Recently the National Wash Ap

Evening Snood
The popular snood is playing a
dual role. Not only does it serve
as a protector for windblown tresses
during the day. The latest is the
jewel-encrusted snood that you wear
as here shown. An evening snood
is to be coveted for it not only is
a gay flatterer but it is a friend
indeed in that it gives you a confi

less than a revelation. We are show
ing three representative types from
this gala autumn style revue in th«
accompanying illustration as a fore
taste of the endless modes you'll be
seeing in the new fall parade.
Plaids are going to be better than
ever this season. The happy school
faring miss pictured to the left in
the group, is wearing a gay Mexi
can checkerboard plaid. It is shirred
at the shoulders, has a swing skirt
which conforms to fashion’s call for
skirts that at least create the im
pression of slimness, whether they
have pleats or not There is smart
color contrast in the leather belt and
of course there are decorative pock-
ets.
The attractive junior frock cen
tered in the picture ipjes plain ver
sus check in its makitip. The ma
terial is rabbit-woolish in its soft
ness. The skirt brings soft-pleat
fullness to the front in latest style-
approved manner. Novelty breast
pockets, a girlish neckline and a
yoke back and front together with
a soft wide belt are distinguishing
style details. You can get this mod
el in football brown, loyal blue and
kick-off red.
Stripes are still the talk o’ the
town. See the clever use the de
signer makes of stripes as illustrat
ed to the right. The skirt is of the
bias-cut swing type. There is a dou
ble-action styling given to the back
of the blouse. A leather belt and
buttons in three colors give a telling
style flourish. Touch-down green,
football brown and college blue, the
colors in which this model comes,
are passwords that will admit this
smart dress to college environs with
acclaim.

Longer Gloves Is

For once in her life fashion is
logical! With those youthful short-
sleeved. chubby fur jackets which
top the list of must haves this fall
longer gloves are definitely the
thing. Because while bare midriffs
may be a smart whim in evening
clothes, you don't want that effect
between the end of your gloves and
the beginning of your jacket sleeves.
American glove manufacturers
have taken account of the important
short-sleeved fur jacket fashion and
have figured out that the eight-but
ton length glove is perfect with most
of these jackets. It’s long enough
to cover the exposed part of the
arm, but not too long to be comfort
able under the jacket sleeve. And
you can have it in the classic slip-
on type or, if you like to be a bit dif
ferent, in a mousquetaire — th«
straighter-cut, closer-fitting glove
with the buttoned opening.
And whichever style you prefer,
you have a stunning range of fall
colors to choose from.

line and short sleeves outlined by
two rows of braid, and with braid
and buttons to trim the front and

are, and a big fluttery sash bow
calls attention to the fact!
