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 parel association presented a highly fashion-signiflcant style show in Chi­ cago. The hundreds and hundreds of most Intriguing college, school, career-girl and junior fashions, styled throughout, as they were, of swank wash fabrics, was nothing 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 dent poiseful feeling that your hair will stay put Changes Fastening In Separate Skirts Slide fasteners, modern miracles that they are, occasionally give a heavy look to the left side of sep­ arate skirts. To eliminate this dif­ ficulty one designer who specializes In clothes for the college girl plans to have all of her newest skirts fast­ en at the center of the back. 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.

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.
