‘Spirit of ’76’
This famous painting, in which
the artist caught the spirit of the
patriots who “fifed and drummed
it,” was sketched and later paint­
ed by Archibald M. Willard. The
artist, who lived through four of
America’s wars (1836-1918), was
the creator of “Puck” comics aft­
er the Civil war. He originally
made a humorous sketch for the
opening of the Centennial exposi­
tion at Philadelphia in 1876.
A serious attempt to portray
early American patriotism fol­
lowed the cartoon, and the origi­
nal now hangs in Abbott Hall li­
brary, in Marblehead, Mass.

LYNN SAYS:
Now is the time to make your
selection of gifts: perhaps you'd
like to give away some of that
brightly colored jelly or jam you
put up last fall. Wrap it in gay
paper, and tie it with a bit of
silver and blue ribbon. Bring out
the fruit cake and plum pudding,
someone will be mighty proud to
have them, too.
When packing cookies and can­
dies for fcift boxes you can make
the box more attractive by al­
ternating the kinds of cookies and
candies used. To assure fresh­
ness, use waxed paper between
the layers.

gay and festive trimming accents
in the way of beadwork and em­
broidery, it is interesting to note the
glitter of sequins, rhinestones or
nailheads, as well as a definite re­
vival of applique design. This form
of handcraft is very smart, and in
featuring it, designers have tapped
a wellspring of Inspiration which is
pouring forth a wealth of ideas in
endless procession.
Applique design offers a technique
which is being successfully em­
ployed for both day and evening
modes with the utmost simplicity
or in the most elaborate motifs to
fit the occasion. Consequently, there
are going to be all types of applique
this season, from the simple single
bouquet effect on a blouse or bod­
ice to take the place of a corsage
or glittering spray clip, all the way
to elaborate designs. Also, we may
expect to see a tremendous amount
of applique used on the sports
clothes for resort wear.
Many of the “dressy" clothes for
winter are so beautifully embel­
lished they are veritable works of
art See this demonstrated in the
lovely gown pictured to the left be­
low in the illustration. For this ap­
plique the artist designer has taken
morning glories for her theme, trans­
lating them into handmade fabric
flowers that bloom in all their deep
purples, wines, brilliant pink and
azure blue. Leaves and stems and
tendrils of green go cascading from
shoulder to hem down the side front
of this stately, sleekly fitted, black
crepe dinner gown. It is said that
many women of discriminating
taste are turning to fabric applique
as a welcome change from too
much glitter of rfequins and colorful
stones.

Jacket Is Favorite
Theme of Designers
Suits of gay plaids or colorful
tweeds have held good right through
the fall and will continue to do so
during the winter. Already resort
fashions have emphasized the su­
premacy of jacket suits in the
mode. Two features of the newer
suits are the continued use of pleat­
ed skirts and the emphasis on beau­
tiful wools in charming colors for
the new jacket suits. For climates
that call for warmth, these pastel
and richly colorful tailored wools
are trimmed with fur.
JI inter Sport Clothes
Rival Those for Reach
It used to be that resort clothes
for winter vacationists were de­
signed only for sunny southern
climes. Now the program has to
cover all types of winter sports as
well. Winter activities now include
skating, skiing, tobogganing, and
bowling, as well as swimming and
sun bathing for those who go south
or west. Sports costumes must be
practical and comfortable, and one
that fulfills these requirements is a
bowling dress just made for action.
White ‘Bunny’ Wrap Is
The Delight of the ‘Teens
The vogue for white this winter
is creating no end of excitement
in the younger set which simply
dotes on the new white jersey or
crepe or corduroy “date" dress.
With these they wear cunning "com­
fy” white bunny jackets. Some­
times these are bordered down the
front opening with vividly gay
peasant yarn embroidery.
