side panels are so shaped that they
give a wonderfully slenderizing ef­
fect right where you want it most
—at the waistline!
Side sashes hold the apron firm
across the front, tie smartly in
back. The straps stay up because
they are fastened directly in back
and the wide side pieces give your
dress full protection.

Good soups deserve attractive
accompaniments. Here are some
popular Ideas:
Thin slices of lemon, chopped
parsley, thin slices of avocado,
slightly salted whipped cream,
toasted almonds.
In the bread line you can really
do a lot of tricks, such as cutting
the bread into fancy shapes with
a cookie cutter, then toasting and
sprinkling on soup before serv­
ing Rings (made with doughnut
cutter), animal shapes, hearts,
stars and diamonds are popular.
Cheese sticks are good too and
are made by sprinkling grated
cheese on bread strips, broiled
and served hot.
Chopped chives or chopped
parsley either by themselves or
sprinkled over the salted whipped
cream add color to soup platters.

s a new psychology in
the matter of dress. It's a most
wholesome one which yields to no
compromise with feminine charm
and flattery, but tends toward great­
er simplicity, careful selection and
an appreciative evaluation of wear­
ing apparel that avoids extrava­
gance. Clothes are made to serve de­
pendably and at the same time gra­
ciously. during the stress and strain
of the present war period.
It's well-mannered clothes that
women are wanting, the sort that
won't shriek with glitter and gew­
gaws. yet will be spirit-lifters in
their colorfulness, suavity of line
■nd genuine charm. The winsome
little wool dresses now so popular
give the answer. Not only do they
exploit color but they are styled to
a nicety with all sort* of "catchy“
details that individualize them and
make them of outstanding style im­
portance, not only for Immediate
wear with fur wraps but also to wear
into the summer.
The accompanying group picture
eloquently tells the story of quality,
materials of distinction and flatter­
ing color. The first of this trio, that
shown to the left in the above illus­
tration, is a clever sports dress for
the teen-age girl. It is in chocolate
colored wool panelled with brown-
stitched beige Simple tailored prin­
cess lines enhance this model, to­
gether with an easy grace achieved
by the full-gored effect below the
hipline.
The dress to the right in the pic*
ture above stresses the new 1SM2
classic simplicity to a nicety. It ex­
ploits the sleek-fltting long-torso
lines now so popular with college
girls and the junior set. One of the
persuasive arguments in favor of
the attractive colorful daytime wool
frocks i* that they are "up to tricks”
in the way of ingenious detail. In ;
this instance it is the lacing at each
side of the long-torso bodice that is
eye-catching. Self material is laced
around gold hooks. This model
comes in delectable pastels or in
lush colors.
Centered in the group above is a
perfect "date" dress for the girl
who must wear her "special occa-
*ion" dress all day in the office.
This gown of leaf green crepe has a
striking triple - tiered peplum, a
smartly curved yoke and the some­
what full, straight sleeve favored
this season.
Too sweet for words are the dainty
little afternoon dresses of light wool
or rayon crepe in exquisite pastels.
They are fashioned with cunning
self-fabric trimming. One has three
rows of tiny ruching applied to a
medium flare skirt line, three huge
hand painted wood buttons and
matching ruching about a clever
yokeline. Made of China pink crepe
it Is the ideal answer to the demand
for something dressy but not too
dressy.
The fuss made by the younger set
over white date dresses continues.
White jersey seems to be the out­
standing material for these dresses.
Now that color is so important,
many of these jerseys are made gay
and bright with embroidered flow­
ers and motifs done in multi-colored
yarns. Some of the most attrac­
tive white jersey frocks are high­
lighted with effective trapunto quilt­
ed design. Others are made festive
with gilt buttons and girdles.

‘Robinson Crusoe
In 1704 a Scotch sailor, Alexan-
der Selkirk, was put ashore on
the island of Juan Fernandez, off
the coast of Chile, where he lived
four years and four months. The
story of Selkirk's adventures sug­
gested the idea of “Robinson Cru­
soe-’ to the English writer, Daniel
Defoe; thus Selkirk may be said
to have been the original Robin­
son Crusoe.
While living on Juan Fernandez,
however, Selkirk did not undergo
the hardships of his storied char­
acter, as this island is one of the
most fertile off the coast of South
America.

Save Stockings to
Help Student Work
Women throughout the states are
being asked to join a unique cam­
paign to save old, worn-out silk or
nylon hose (no rayon), to help «end
American girls and boys through
college. For every thousand pairs
of old hose contributed one girl or
boy is enabled to attend college for
12 months.
A curtailment of silk ha* forced
many in the student body of Athens
college in Alabama to stay home
this year. They had been earning
their way working in the college's
hosiery mills.
The stockings sent in will be re-
conditioned and "backwound," the
process done under government su«
pervision.

blackout accessories, such as bags
done in plaid liber to wear over the

and it is advised that they be kept
stocked with emergency require­
ments—flashlight, sweater, and oth­
er useful items. You can even get
shoe* that have tiny flashlight at­
tachments.

Floating Suit
you're headed resort-ward,
plenty of lightweight sports things
should be in your trunks. Here is
one of the new loafer coats (the
name reveals its purpose) to wear
when you loll around on the veran­
da or beaches or wherever the spirit
moves you. These jackets are made
of cordurella, a feminine version of
cordurex, the popular velvety-ribbed
men's wear fabric. If you are a
husband-and-wife combination, his
windbreaker and slacks should be
made of the flnest lightest cordurex
in order to interpret fashion at its
smartest.
For those who cannot swim it
should be good news that a floating
swim suit has been devised that is
non-sinkable, its patented feature
being the lining of a spongy sub­
stance that floats. You can get these
novel, pra'.tical suits in fitted or in
dressmaker styles.
Brunch Coat
A fad that is growing into a pro­
nounced movement is the brunch
coat. It's as practical to wear as
the usual smock, but Is more formal
and can be found in a greater vari­
ety of styles.
