Lynn Says:
Valentine Ideas are practical
for the celebration of anniversa
ries even after St. Valentine's day
is past.
Recently I saw an anniversary
celebration at which a cranberry
mold was used. Cranberry jelly
cut in heart shapes was placed
around the big mold. The num
ber of small hearts correspond
ed to the number of years the
couple had been married.
The heart-shaped cakes and
molds of Ice cream are much in
use for anniversary celebrations
and enrry out the Idea effective
ly.
Heart-shaped candies may
also be used to decorate whipped
cream or desserts.

war" has been brought
home to designers, manu
facturers, merchandisers and the
American woman, there's a heap of
constructive thinking and planning
going on about the matter of creat
ing upparel that will serve well dur
ing the stress of the times.
To this end two lines of thought
are in progress. The one recognize«
that whether their service be volun-
teer or paid, thousands of women
will be engaged in activities that
will require dress tuned to the par-
ticular type of defense work as
signed them. This means that func
tional, utilitarian clothes are abso
lutely imperative.
On the other
hand, It is no less important that
women maintain a high morale.
To this problem all who are carry
ing on in the fashion field agree that
the suit, or the Jacket dress that
looks like a suit, is the perfect an
swer. There is no doubt that a tre
mendous suit season is at hand for
spring and the coming summer. As
an antidote for low spirits, style cre
ators believe in color. Suits may be
ever so simply styled, but they'll be
colorful!
The very fact that suits are be
ing so simply styled is resulting in
an increasing enthusiasm among
women to "make their own." Wheth
er your taste runs to spun rayons,
gabardines, jersey or tweedish cot
tons that look like wool, many of
the most desirable materials are so
inexpensively priced that they act as
another incentive to do your own
sewing. If you take advantage of
the magic of modern sewing ma
chine attachments, you’ll find you
can actually be a fashion standout
in the costume you make. Now
adays experienced seamstresses as
well as beginners are surprised to
find how easy ruffling, pleating, shir-

The three suits pictured in the il
lustration above are of the simple
type the average woman can make
at home.
For your first spring
costume, why not break into a gay
colored print? A neat printed rayon
weave is used for the jacket-dress
ensemble shown to the left in the
group illustrated above. In this in
stance, a rib-hugging long three-but
ton Jacket tops a simple short-
sleeved frock. Patterns for simple
suits are available at all well-
equipped pattern departments.
The suit dress centered in the
picture above is easy to make.
Choose a bright rayon plaid for the
dress. The skirt is cut on the bias.
The jacket of monotone spun rayon
picks up the leading color in the
plaid. Shoulder insets of the plaid
unify the jacket and dress.
Spring elegance and tailored sim
plicity are combined in the sleek
figure-flattering gabardine suit to
the right in the above illustration.
All roads lead to gabardine this
spring. It is used for suits, for slacks
costumes and for uniforms as well.
The new gabardines come in all the
smartest colors.
The importance of common-sense
shoes built for comfort is particular
ly stressed this season. Highlighted

siderably more of it this year) are
shoes of the type pictured in the

Spring Hats to Be
Casual and Pretty
Women will be wearing casual
hats with their functional tweeds
and gabardines. Big, soft, noncha
lant brims are featured. Color is
emphasized. And there are dashing
quill trims.
However, there is no indication in
the new showings that women are
going to get down to regulation
types. On the contrary, there is a
demand for pretty, feminine, flatter
ing hats made lovely to the eye with
charming flower trims.
Cunning
little sailors, worn straight on the
head, will be garnished with flow
ers, as will the new calots and the
smartly veiled pillbox types.
A vogue for profuse use of violets
is predicted. Little violet sailors
will be worn with matching corsages
of violets. Wide brims will be faced
with violet petals, and even brace
lets will be made of violets to
match hat and corsage.
Designers Use Patriotic
Red, White anti Blue
A noted designer is turning out
slim dinner dresses in navy with
red and white panels at the front.
From another style creator come
daytime dresses in white with an
applique of red and blue disks. A
smart evening dress with a long,
narrow skirt of navy has a long-
torso blouse top done in horizontal
bands of red, white and blue.

HE PUBLIC nature of advertising bene
fits everyone it touches. It benefits the
public by describing exactly the products that are offered. It
benefits employees, because the advertiser must be more fair
and just than the employer who has no obligation to the public.
These benefits of advertising are quite apart from the obvious
benefits which advertising confers—the lower prices, the higher
quality, the better service that go with advertised goods and firms.
