You can judge, therefore, how
easy this dress is to make.
But you can’t really tell what
a distinctive, comfortable, charm­
ing fashion it is until you have it
on. Then you’ll repeat it many
times, in silk print, rayon sheers,
and street cottons like linen and
batiste.

Our Deepest Chasm
la Die tea party the tiling of the
pust? I sincerely hope not because
there la nothing quite so comfy and
relaxing as a good cup of tea And
you can make it even more delight­
ful by sharing it with a few of your
frlrnds.
The tea hour may be the time to
become utterly feminine, with lazy
discussions <n
fashions of
day, the I
movie, and
tales of cute
Ings of Joi
and Mary J
Or It may b<
larged with
culinlty, with the trend of the eon-
versation leaning more toward cur­
rent events, politics, books and even
the arts.
A tea party is one of the sim­
plest methods of entertaining, be­
cause even though your resources
msy be limited, you can ask a few
friends to drop in for tea.
I have ■ friend who quite often
gives teas on Sunday afternoons.
They are highly successful, not be­
cause of her lovely silverware or
china, (because here I must confess
that most of her china does not even
match); they are successful rattier,
because her friends gather for the
pleasure of chatting with one an­
other. Conversation flies fast and
furiously—but the group is held to­
gether by one common bond, the
tea cup.
The * most meager necessities
would include a tea tray', on which
the tea set and napkins are placed,
a table from which to serve the tea,
glistening china, and well-polished
silver.
If the party Is small you may, as
hostess, pour the tea, asking the
guests to help themselves to cream
or lemon and sugar. If It Is a
larger party and It is necessary for
you to constantly greet your guests
as they arrive, ask one of your
friends to preside at the tea table
for you.
The tea that Is served must be
good. It not only must be fresh,
but must be hot to be palatable and
soothing. If the weather Is warm
you may like to serve both hot and
iced tea. Serve the iced tea in tall
glasses which have been chilled pri­
or to serving. Sliced lemon and
powdered sugar are necessary ac­
cessories for iced tea. Place the
ice cubes in an attractive ice bucket
with the ice tongs near by. As an
added bit of color and flavor, gar­
nish the completed beverage with
sprigs of fresh, cool mint.
Dainty sandwiches, hot buttered
toast, thin slivers of cinnamon toast
and small English muffins are ap­
propriate to serve with tea. Popu-
* lar accompaniments to tea are sand­
wiches made from nut bread, sliced
very thin, and buttered.
You may like to use some of the
suggested accompaniments for your
next tea party, to give you that
much sought-after distinction as a
discrimiripting hostess.
Hot Tea.
Rinse teapot with boiling water.
Allow 1 teaspoon of tea for each
cup and "one for the pot.” Place tea
In teapot, and pour freshly boiling
wutcr over tea leaves. Cover and
allow tea to steep 3 to 5 minutes, as
desired. Remove ball or bag con­
taining the leaves, and serve at
once.
Chicken Sandwiches With
Cranberry Sauce.
Right here and now we put in our
plea for revolt against chicken sarfd-
wiches that are bone dry! Have you
tried putting a thin slice of canned
cranberry sauce In with the chick­
en? We eat cranberry sauce with
chicken when It’s served on a plate.
Why not in a sandwich? Try a slice
of canned cranberry sauce In your
chicken sandwiches the very next
time you make them and sec if you
don’t agree there’s a vast improve­
ment.
Cream Cheese Sandwiches.
1 green pepper (chopped flne)
3 ounces cream cheese
■A cup walnut meats (cut flne)
*4 teaspoon lemon juice
Dash of Worcestershire sauca
Salt and pepper
Remove seeds from green pepper
and chop flne. Add cheese, walnut
meats and lemon juice. Cream well
together. Add a dash of Worcester-
shlre suuce and salt and pepper to
taste. Spread between slices of thin­
ly sliced white bread.

The deepest chasm in the United
States and in continental North
America is Hells canyon on the
Snake river, directly along the bor­
der between Oregon and Idaho.
This abyss, formed by the Wallo­
wa mountains of Oregon and th*
Seven Devils range in Idaho, ia
about 75 miles long. For over 40
miles it averages 5,510 feet in
depth.
At one point it is 7,900 feet deep,
a'most a mile and a half from rim
to river, wltich exceeds by sorna
1,800 feet the 6,100-foot maximum
for Grand canyon in Arizona.—

campus, town and travel wear.
Sweaters especially have recaptured
the fancy of school-faring girls. Be­
ing so versatile and so fetchingly
styled as they are, you wear casual­
ly and nonchalantly sturdy sweat­
ers with "catchy" detail for active
end spectator sports wear through
all the hours of the day. Then when
the shadows fail you come out radi­
antly arrayed in a ravishing sweat­
er that is "all dolled up" with glit­
ter and color and touches of hand
embroidery (decollette neckline if
you so choose) that gives you a
bona fide "lady of fashion" look to
be envied It is not to be wondered
at, is it. that "knitted" has become
a magic word in college circles?
And here's something encouraging
we are telling you—you don’t have
to "tend to your own knitting" as
in days of old if you do not want to,
tor stores and shops are broadcast­
ing the good news to the fashion
world that they are making a fea­
ture of handknitted sweaters. What's
more, you will be surprised to And
how reasonable they are. You can
get perfectly lovely types with all
the little "whimsies" and fetching
style accents that discriminating
taste demands.
So get the sweater habit. Miss Col­
lege Girl, and take along with you
not one sweater but a collection for
a whole wardrobe of 'em will be none
too many. A plaid skirt, a velveteen
skirt, a monotone tailored cloth with
a pleated skirt thrown in for good
measure, to which add one or more
utterly formal floor-length skirts and
you will be equipped for any demand
of the time, the place and the event
We are showing a handknit eve­
ning sweater in the lower left of the
group. It is in Ireland green with
big puff sleeves embroidered with
bright flowers.
A sweater that serves double duty
for the college girl is pictured in
the lower right It is a golden wool­
knit and may be worn either with
a tweed skirt for daytime, or with
an evening skirt Worn with it and
considered very appropriate for the
college girl, are twisted gold chain
necklace and bracelet and an ob­
long gold watch with link bracelet
The cardigan and pullover set
shown above to the left promises
endless service to the campus-bound
collegiate. It has smocked shoul­
ders (new styling feature) and is
in a flattering Araby rose tone, beau­
tifully tropic knit to add softness. It
is worn with a kitten's car wool skirt
in beige.
Here's something you really should
have if you are going away to
school. It is an ensemble of knit
and jersey as illustrated above to
the right. The short, boxy jacket
is machine knitted of wool chenille.
The hood is lined with the iden­
tical striped material of the rayon
jersey dress. It is available in stun­
ning new greens and wines and
brown tones and smart grays.
Yes, indeed, all signs point to a
"knitted season.”
Woolknit Suit
Dramatic Felt Hats
Have I^arge Brims
(Releaaed by Western Newspaper Union.)
Your hat must look important this
season.
The new dashing wide-
brimmed felts do just that.
There is no limit to how non­
chalantly the brims turn up in dra­
matic ways. The brim that dashes
high at one side gives you the new
profile hat which is a leading fash­
ion this season.
To show your pompadour off,
many felts flare abruptly off the
forehead and to emphasize the
movement these hats are worn far
back on the head.
Soft brims that can be manipu­
lated characterize the newer felts,
and to add to their flattery hand­
some black lace veils are adjusted
most spectacularly.
Concentnite Skirt
Fullness in Front
The ideal travel suit for air-con­
ditioned trains is this woolknit cos­
tume made of zephyr yarn. The
long torso jacket is double breasted
with high notched revers and bow-
knot pockets. The skirt is cleverly
gored for sleek hips and comforta­
ble flare. Wear it with this new off-
the-face beret of navy felt trimmed
with a band and bow of pique to
match the white pique vestee. A
silver lapel flower and silver leaf
earrings, navy calf bag and white
gloves complete this smart outfit.
If you are a black-and-white enthu­
siast you will love this woolknit suit
tn black with white accessories.
Interest focuses on skirts this sea­
son. The fact that the new silhou­
ette is slimmer does not mean all
fullness is abolished.
The basic
thought in achieving slimness is to
keep the sides flat and the very
newest treatment is to concentrate
fullness directly in front.
Then too the new to-one-side fas­
tenings make for slenderizing lines,
and designers handle the drapes al­
ways with an eye to achieve slim­
ness.
Daytiiue Dresses Feature
Jet Embroidery, Nailheads
Daytime dresses take on gleam
and glitter. Black dresses especial­
ly are enhanced with elaborate nail­
head treatments.
Jet on black is Interpreted in
many ways. It may ba embroid­
ered on or pookets of jet may be
applied and if you are jewelry-mind­
ed wear jet necklace and bracelet
X’OTHING is more important
’ during the summer—and ev­
ery season for that matter—than
this type of casual frock, softly
tailored and classically simple.
This version (Design No. 1962-B)
is ideal for women’s figures, be­
cause it has a high-busted, nar­
row-hipped line. And that perfec­
tion of line is achieved so simply—
merely by means of long darts
that narrow the waistline and
break into soft fullness above and
below. Gathers on the shoulders
are the only other detailing. The
rest is just long, straight seams.
*Syncopation Seemed to
Cover Patient's Ailment
A patient who complained of
digestive troubles was told by a
specialist that he was drinking too
much, and would have to stop it.
“Well,” said the patient, "what
am I to tell my wife?"
The doctor thought for a few
minutes, then said: "Tell her you
are suffering from syncopation.”
The patient did as he was told.
"What is syncopation?” asked his
wife.
"I don’t know,” said the hus­
band, "but that’s what he said.”
When her husband had gone out
the wife looked up the word in the
dictionary, and found that it
meant:
"Irregular movement
from bar to bar."
