(Released by Western Newspaper Union.) P play clothes for the theme is a most fascinating one. More triumphantly, more spectacular­ ly than ever before in the annals of fashion lore are the designers answering the challenge for play clothes that will add to the picture of golfing, tennis, hiking, swimming, motoring, and all the other sports thut go to make perfect days of out­ door playtime. A significant thing about modern play clothes is that they have a way of making one keenly fabric-minded. That saying about necessity being the "mother of invention” applies perfectly to modern play clothes’ fabric production. Scientific proc­ essing is achieving materials that are as near 100 per cent perfect as is humanly possible in the matter of washability and wearability which are guaranteed to be practically non-fading, non-shrinking, non-wrin­ kling and all the other qualities demanded for apparel that must withstand the ravages of strenuous wear. It is interesting to note the rise to high style distinction that is taking place among fabrics once consid­ ered of low degree. There's denim, for instance, once synonymous with commonplace workaday overalls, now playing a star role as media for the smartest tailored suits that a socialite in the smart set might don this summer in town or for country club wear. By the way, when you go shopping in the sports departments take a look at the swank slacks and shorts made of yellow denim. Top these with a vivid calico-patterned print blouse or a jacket quilted of bright fig­ ured glazed chintz and you wiU rank high in any fashion parade. Carrying her tools in the pockets | of a blue denim culotte outfit the pretty young miss pictured to the left in the illustration of smart play clothes is tending her flowers in most picturesque attire. Note the cotton braid trim that adds a dash Chintz Housecoat of color to the huge pockets and the wide shoulder straps. A bolero to protect her shoulders and a quilted apron to protect her knees are also included in this cunning outfit. The pinafore pair shown in the background will cheer the heart of every mother and daughter. These pinafore types should be an inspira­ tion to home sewers in that they are so easy to make. The profession­ al looking nicety of the edge seam­ ing is achieved in a jiffy with a little edge stitcher found in every mod­ ern sewing machine kit. The full gathered finish given to the back- buttoned skirt is only a matter of minutes with the gathering foot at­ tachment. The same material is used for both—a striped denim. The two outfits cost but a trifling sum to make, they promise much joy in the wearing and besides mother-and- daughter costumes are fashion's pet theme this year. Up to the last season or so the great problem with fabricists has been to produce white materials that will come out of a brisk tub­ bing or cleaning process as white as when new. Welcome comes the message of white rayon pique shark­ skin which is proving ideal for ten­ nis frocks and for white suits and afternoon dresses. It is this snow- white pique sharkskin that is used to make the tennis frock shown in the foreground of the group pic­ tured. Here is a fabric that is sure to stay in top form, having been test­ ed and approved for wearing and cleaning satisfaction. It adds an exciting note of interest because this dress was designed by Alice Marble, national tennis champion, making it authentic* news as to what's what in smart action fashions. CHECK UP ON VITAMIN C It’s one you need fresh daily! (ReleaMd by Western Newspaper Union.) Non-Crushing Fabric Made From Cotton In these vacation days of outdoor activities and week-end trips more and more the desirability of clothes made of non-crushing and non-wrinkling wash materials is rec- I ognized. A cotton that has come valiantly i to the rescue is the new bouclé weave and designers are certainly | making wide use of it in dresses and in suits. You just tub it shake it out and let it dry and prestoj It is all ready to wear looking as fresh and as well groomed as new. — Dressmaker Bathing Suits Recall Fashions of 1890s Enthusiasm for cottons in the fab­ ric realm has crescendoed to a new high this season. The importance of cottons in the fabric realm is simply breath-taking not only be­ cause of the transcendent loveliness of cotton weaves but there is no call of the mode be it ever so humble or an event ever so festive and for­ mal but what there is a cotton fab­ ric that will tune Into the picture perfectly.

The fashion trend in bathing suits is to dressmaker effects done in most j any material one might choose. Taffeta is especially good style; so is flowered or striped jersey. The knitted suit is a particular favorite. So definite is the dressmaker styling , that one is reminded of fashions that held forth in the gay nineties. The difference between "has been” and modern styles is found in shorter ruffled bloomers, shorter (much shorter) skirts and open midriff ef­ fects. Tn elastized types the princess sil­ houette is a favorite and even newer is the one piece ballerina elastized satin types. The Hawaiian influence is seen in large floral effects. Knitted Cape As everyone knows, fashion’s spotlight is on capes and the vogue will continue during the fall and win­ ter. The latest reaction to this trend is the enthusiasm expressed for capes in the knitted realm. Why not begin to knit now so as to be among the first to come out in a knitted cape this fall. You can buy capesuits now that look as if hand­ knit if you prefer. Gel it deliciously from fresh orange juice! You cznnot "»tore up’’ vitamin C in your body.
