The current showings of | prints seem to have eclipsed all that has gone before. There’s a new elegance being ex pressed in print frocks that you can tell at a glance are intended for smart dress-up occasions rather than ' for casual daytime wear. In styling these "lovely lady” prints, designers gave them an important look of so- , phisticated simplicity. The new slen der silhouette deftly achieves a dress-up look through animated little peplums, flaring over narrow skirts. The bustle-bow back, flattering neck line treatments, and other subtle style gestures also im part outstand ing distinction. Often a print is that dramatic and stunning within itself that it Is made up as simply as possible so as to give all the glory to the fabric. The gown centered in the illustration is just such. The dramatic butterfly print "m akes" this dress and the fact of its utterly simple styling shows supreme artistry on the part of the designer. The wide cap sleeves serve to accentuate the small waist, made smaller by a drawstring at the back. The print is hand- screened and the butterfly motifs are simply gorgeous in their color ing. The material is a spun rayon and cotton woven to look like crash. A cutout wired butterfly of the fab ric is poised at one side of the high neckline. A flair for dark prints is seen in the wide call for black backgrounds with bright florals or other richly colorful patterning. These modish prints include both huge dramatic widely spaced florals and the more conservative small patterned types, the latter making special appeal In A that they are so new ‘ his-year look ing. Ideal for dressy afternoon wear and exquisitely refined in its lady like styling is the youthful frock shown to the right. It is made of one of the now-so-voguish black back ground prints, highlighted with mul ti-colored motifs. It is expertly styled to accentuate a slender sil houette. A pert little peplum adds intrigue to this most flattering little dress-up frock. Even if one's wardrobe is not ex tensive. it is a wise plan to keep at least one dressy outfit on hand so as to avoid that frantic last-minute "what to wear" problem, when one is unprepared for on unexpected dress-up date. For summertime charm a cool dark print styled for flattery as pictured to the left w ill prove an ideal and treasured posses sion. A dress of this type w ill be welcome as an addition to any ward robe because of its chic and charm. One of the grand things about this dress is that you know it w ill give good service for the handsome black-with-color sheer print fabric has passed a laboratory test for good wear qualities. Because of the guar antee label in the dress you may be sure that its colorings w ill retain their original shades and that there w ill be no seam slippings after re peated cleaning and wearing. Taf feta bows at each side of the dra matic low-cut square neckline add a convincing note of chic. The charm ing large black hat which milady holds in her hand shows that this beautifully gowned modem knows her fashions, for the wider the brim, the smarter the hat this summer. Relented by Western Newspaper Union. Sun and Play Dress Summer Wash Frocks Intriguingly Styled Seldom a season, if ever, when wash frocks have been so intriguing ly styled as now. In making up cottons that are lovelier than ever this summer designers are playing up imagination to the ’nth degree. They have succeeded so admirably that a seersucker dress or a ging ham goes places as pridefully as a silken print or modish crepe. There's all sorts of fetching trim m ing ac cents appearing on this season's wash apparel, such as self-fabric bows, embroidered pockets, and most of all just “ oodles” of eyelet embroidery in yokes or contrast sleeves or frills that finish off edges in a most flattering way. The the ory that two lovely cottons are bet ter than one is seen in perfectly charming gingham or pastel cham- bray two-piece dress. The skirt of gingham has a jacket of beloved eyelet. The jacket is finished off with a bias binding of the gingham. For final glamour little bows of self gingham travel all the way the front of the jacket.

MORALE W RECKERS GUARANTEED! Special Limited O ffer! Il is every w om ans duty to try Io preserve the morale of the men of her fam ily tvho are fighting. She should do every thing she ran to preserve and, when possible, to im prove the situation at home. When there are difficulties that she cannot cope with, she should tell her soldier little or nothing about them. Perhaps they w ill clear up—in any case they can wait. Seldom can the poor fellow in a distant camp do anything about them, anyway. He has enough to contend with, strug gling against the enemy, and enduring discomforts of all sorts. Letters disparaging his wife, telling of fam ily quar rels and financial problems, do serious damage to the spirit of the front-line fighters.
