HEN you pick up your news­
paper these days, or flip
tijrough the pages of your favorite
magazine, more often than not
you'll see pictures of stage, radio
and motion picture stars, college
girls, club women and debutantes,
all busy at a new hobby—crochet­
ing!
A crocheting fad is sweeping the
country. Crochet hooks are being
wielded by busy finger* from Maine
to California, from the Canadian
border to the Gulf of Mexico. The
vogue ha* taken such hold that now­
aday* when a deb reaches into her
handbag. It's probably for a crochet
hook rather than a lipstick.
Mind you. it's not just the home
girls interested in housewifely arts
who are crocheting. This time lt'a
the college girls whose campus­
bound trunks, returning from mid­
winter homecomings, fairly bulged
with
unfinished
sweaters
and
blouse* and accessory items into
which, no doubt, they will be put­
ting the final stitches in the lecture
room, pacing busy hand* to busy
mind*. In the city thorough*"res
it's the debutantes who are crochet­
ing in taxicab* speeding to and fro
in their round of social engage­
ment*. Stage and radio star* are at
it too, while they wait their cues,
all of which mean* that crocheting
ha* definitely reached the glamour
stage.
That crochet ha* come “in” as
a style of high importance is big
new* from the fashion angle. The
famous designer Schiaparelli may
be back of it all, for when she ar­
rived some month* ago on the At­
lantic clipper she wore a crocheted
collar, crocheted gloves and listen
to this—crocheted stockings I The
latter were very smart looking and
created a sensation because of their
unusualncss.
W
I^pcl Gadgets
Jewel gadgets continue to flourish
on midseason jacket lapels. With
the discarding of burdensome win­
ter fur coats oomes evidence of the
importance attached to suits for
midseason and early spring wear.
With suits in the limelight, then it
1* that the gadgets so popularly
worn on jacket lapels will come into
their own with renewed emphasis.
While women are willing and eager
to discard their fur topcoats chiring
the interval that spans winter and
spring, they still cling to the touches
of flattering fur that so dramatized
their smart turbans. In the pic­
ture an enormous gold-and-topaz pin
1* worn on the lapel of a mossy
green wool long-coat. There will be
considerable topaz and amber jew­
elry in evidence during the midsea­
son months and early spring in line
with the trend toward yellow* and
beige* and sunburnt tone* that are
sponsored for spring.
Crocheted jewelry is another
unique item, especially the lei flow­
er necklace with bracelet to match.
The idea of stiffly-starched small
crochet wings worn in the hair has
spread like wildfire. Young girls
are especially like these wings be­
cause it takes only a jiffy to make
them and they are different and
much more interesting than the tra­
ditional ribbon bows they have been
wearing. A miniature crochet shawl
to complete a sweater and plaid­
skirt outfit is another favorite ac­
cessory.
At exciting style prevucs for
spring the emphasis on crochet fash­
ions is unmistakable.
Ideas are
such that clever women at home
will be quick to add crocheted items
to their own wardrobes. For ex­
ample, insets of crochet in trian­
gles, squares or circles, also yoke
tops, add style touches to the new
pastel wool frocks.
Pockets and
belts of crochet and jackets with
crocheted sleeves bespeak the high-
style significance of this new vogue
for handwork.
Milliners are on the alert, too.
They are making snug crochet tur­
bans with dramatic twist* and
drapes of crochet to give front
height. The white crochet hat at
the top of the left in the illustra­
tion has gone patriotic in that an
American eagle spreads its wings
in a gay crochet motif. To the right
(above) a casual wide-brimmed hat
ha* its crown embellished with an
applique of floral crochet done in
green cotton thread. The smart cro­
cheted pillbox hat shown below has
a close-fitting snood for anchorage
and "style.”

Emblems Important
Trimming Feature
The new costumes and sweater*
are emblazoned with emblems.
Some are embroidered,
others
formed of jewels, beads and se­
quins.
The casual sports blouse
flourishes a nautical emblem on its
sleeve or perhaps on the pocket. Sai­
lor blouses with insignia on the
sleeve are "last word” fashion news
for spring.
Your best dress should have an
imposing emblem
nbroidered in
jewels and metal beads.'
Your hat looks patriotic with a
jeweled
or
embroidered
eagle
spreading its wings on crown or
brim. Your scarf should carry a
cunningly contrived emblem, and
your "hankies” too. The story goes
on and on throughout the spring
style program in endless and fasci­
nating ways.
Designers Match Hats
With Tailored Tweeds
Designers think so highly of
matching the tailored suit with a tai­
lored hat of identical material that
they are stressing the idea in ad­
vance spring fashion*. When you
buy your suit ask for a two-some
that includes the matching hat If
you are having your suit turned out
by your favorite tailor, buy an ex­
tra piece of the tweed or novelty
suiting to furnish your milliner who
will fashion smartest kind of head­
gear from soft brimmed hats to
jaunty sailors and pillbox types.
Perhaps a turban might interest you
most Tell your milliner and she
will turn out a most intricately knot­
ted affair or draped and will go
even to the point of creating a hand­
bag to match.
U ERE’S a pretty new home
i A A frock that looks well on every­
body from slim size 12’s to stately
size 40’s. Made up in bright per­
cale or calico prints, or in checked
gingham, with ric-rac outlining
the neckline and points of interest,
it looks fresh and gay as a morn­
ing-glory. And this is a thoroughly
comfortable dress, too. The sash
belt, tied in the back, enables you
to adjust the waistline to exactly
the snugness or slimness you like.
The armholes are easy. The skirt
has sufficient width for walking
comfort.
