ALL the smart fashions lor
young girls, nothing can eclipse
the endearing charms, the witchery
and the flattery of the picturesque
dirndl-skirt and peasant blouse cos­
tumes which teen-agers take such
delight in wearing.
All through
summer and midseason and on into
the fall these gay little twosomes
will stand at the top as the fashion-
ideal for girls.
It seems as if these quaint peas­
ant costumes are prettier and more
eye-thrilling than ever before The
skirts give play to unfettered imagi­
nation, for no matter how daring
their colorfulness or their fabric,
they have eye-appeal plus.
The
more they go a la Mexlcano or bal­
lerino style the better.
The blouses worn with them are
of the lovely sweet-simplicity type
that simply fascinate with their re­
freshingly naive and ingenue look.
They have everything about them
that makes a pretty girl look her
prettiest. The lingerie types made
of dainty white sheers with their
low cut drawstring necklines, or
with ribbon-threaded beading about
the neck and the sprightly short
puff sleeves, fascinate with their
cunning ways. Often the peasant
look is accented with trimmings of
gay embroidered banding. Others
of the sheerer type are exquisitely
but very daintily lace trimmed.
An adorable peasant skirt and
blouse by Ballerino of California is
shown to the left in the illustration.
High artistry is seen in the beauti­
fully styled black skirt with its
brilliant band trimming, formed of
multi-color imported Guatemalan
braid together with tiny white
fringe. Double rows of Irish lace
add to the witchery of this dainty
sheer and lovely fine batiste blouse.
One of the many charms of this ex­
quisite model is that it can be worn
either in the exciting off-the-shoul-
der effect or be adjusted at will to a
more conservative neckline.
To make you look as cool as an
ice-cream soda top your flower-
fresh print skirt with a white voile,
cap-sleeve, U-neck blouse cut along
the lines of a simplicity pattern, for
the glory of these winsome peasant
blouses is their dramatic simplicity.
With her pretty-pretty print dirndl
and peasant blouse costume, the
dancing girl to the right wears that
which is latest In footwear—authen­
tic ballet slippers. To further car­
ry out the ballerino spirit, draw
your hair to the top o* your head
either tying a ribbon about your
coronet of curls or encircling it with
a wreath of flowers, or a single
large flower according to pref­
erence.
In the twosome centered In the
trio the order has been reversed,
in that blouse is of print worn with
a black skirt. However, the sim­
plicity theme holds good, for the
charm of these winsome blouses is
that they be made as simply as pos­
sible. This fashion-wise maiden is
also wearing ballet slippers which
she finds are available at the stores
in either black or bright red.
Girls who know their fashions are
having lots of fun making their own
peasant-inspired dirndls and simple
blouses. Just the fact that it re­
quires so little material and so little
time to run up the seams, turn up
a hem and add a belt and presto!
another dirndl, has caused these be­
coming little twosomes to become
the mainstay among girls whose
clothes budget is limited.
These
smart lassies buy up the most at­
tractive remnants imaginable of
permanent glaze chintz or gay flow­
er pr(int nr spun rayon or any likable
material and they run up a dirndl
in a jiffy. These enterprising ama­
teur sewers find too it’s a good idea
to lay in a quantity of bright ric
rac, for it makes the perfect trim ­
ming for dirndl-and-blouse play
clothes.

For Beach and Swim Pastel Cottons for
Back-to-School Wear
Women who are fashion-wise have
come to know that pretty pastel cot­
tons are just as practical and as
much-to-be-desired for little girls’
back-to-school clothes as they were
at the springtime of the year. Who
wants to go to school on a hot
September day in other than a cool
and refreshing wash frock. If it be a
bit cool in the morning children are
wearing the cutest little toppers
imaginable tailored of pastel wools.
This year there’s a definite move­
ment on in favor of pastel cottons
for back-to-school wear. Even the
beloved plaid ginghams have gone
pastel, and they’re ever so smart
and pretty for little girl’s frocks.
The new light-colored cottons for
school wear include pastel-ground
plaids, also checks and clean-cut
white stripes on pink or blue Cham-
bray.

Now is the big moment for beach
dresses and swim suits. Here is a
beauty In way of a swim and beach
ensemble. The material used is an
everfast pre-shrunk waffle pique
printed in horseshoe pattern. The
bra and skirt are prettily ruffled for
self-fabric ruffling is considered one
ofc the smartest trimming features
this season. For the swim suit as
shown in the inset the printed pique
has to be elasticated to be ready for
water and sun.
Among the new colors we’ll be
seeing much of in the near future
comes a deep dark plum tone. A
soft ruby red is also noted as one
of the new colors of the year. White
wine, the shade which got such a
good start for spring is featured
again in the new collections. Gray
continues to carry on with style
prestige. Royal blue is a novelty
shade that still appears in many top
collections, usually contrasted with
black.
Chutney brown is a rich
lively brown that is given an im ­
portant place in the mode. Beige
is a quality color that has a big
future. It looks like the autumn will
be richly colorful.
Customer — I ’ll try the codfish
cakes and beans.
Waiter (returning after 10 min­
utes)—No codfish and beans.
Customer—Well just bring me the
codfish and forget the beans.
Walter—It ’s the codfish we ain’t
got; the beans are still an outside
possibility.

Customer—How’s the chicken sal­
ad?
Walter—It's O. K. if you like cel­
ery and lettuce leaves. Maybe you
would like griddle cakes and sau­
sage, If we have any sausage.
Customer — Personally I prefer
sausage in cases where you haven't
any griddle cakes.
Waiter (impatiently) — How about
honeycomb tripe?
Customer—Can I get that today?
Waiter—I can put you on our wait­
ing list.

Walter (lazily) — Yesterday's, to
day’s, or tomorrow’s?
Customer—Today's, I think.
Walter—Yesterday’s wlU be Just
as useful. And tomorrow’s will do
you as much good.
Customer—1 still think I ’ll take
my chances on today’s.
Waiter—Oh, be a sport and take
yesterday's.
Customer — What makes ordering
from yesterday's menu more sport­
ing than from today’s?
Waiter—You go back further for
what you can't get.
Customer — Gimme today's! And
1 want one with the scratches!
(The waiter hands him a menu,
through which pencil has been heav­
ily drawn.)
Customer (reading the scratches)
—Hamburger . . . lamb chop . . .
chicken with noodles . . . broiled
mackerel . . . ham and eggs . . .
corned beef and cabbage . . . frank­
furters and beans! Hmmm! Well,
I'll try some hash.

Waiter—Yeah. That’s a post-time
scratch.

Customer (after further study) —
How is the liver?
Walter (surprised) — Is that on
there? The chef told me we didn't
have it.
Customer—Why wasn't it marked
out?
Walter—It was coupled with the
ham and eggs and I guess the boss
thought that when you scratched one
you scratched the other.

A meadow in majestic green
Spreads out before my gaze;
Delightful rolling hills recede
Into the distant haze.

Some horses run and caper
While cows and sheep graze

What beautiful wall-paper!

What, oh, what is that cry rising
Where the Nazis used to strut . . .
“ Germany gives solemn warning,"
" I will lick the world!” ? Tut! Tut!
From the Nuremberg inclosure
Comes no Fuehrer’s frenzied call;
Just a roar from grinning doughboya
And the stirring yell, “ Play ball!"
Once “ Der Fatherland is marching
To new glories" filled the air,
With “ 1 promise greater triumphs’*
And “ With me the world you’ll
share!" . . .
Now a corporal from Bronxville
Sits where Adolf loved to pose
And yells “ Pickle one for popper!
Sock that next one on the nose!"

THE TANGLEFOOT COMPANY. Gr.nd R.o.di 4. Lick
The World, the Peace and Andy Gribbin
An important thing about Andy
Gribbin’s education is that his
whole early life is spent in learn­
ing the essential business of co­
operation, of getting along with
fellow-beings.
First, he has to learn how to
fit into his immediate family,
learn the give-and-take neces­
sary to get along with brothers,
sisters, elders.
Then, after a few years, his
world enlarges, he is sent to
school. Pretty soon he learns
how to spell C-A-T. But about
this same time he learns some­
thing much more valuable, which
is that he mustn't pull the cat’s
tail because a cat is a being, and
therefore entitled to certain in­
alienable rights.
He also learns that 1 plus 1
equals 2. But much more useful
is learning that 48 equals 1, that
48 states make 1 nation, indivis­
ible, with liberty and justice for
all.
As Andy grows up his world
will continually expand. At
church, at school, in business.
And through it all will run the
theme of cooperation, of getting
along with people of different re­
ligious, political and economic
beliefs; with people some of
whom he doesn’t even like.
But—the tragedy of world
history is that the Andy Grib-
bins have not learned that in a
constantly shrinking world, co­
operation must extend beyond
the borders of the country; that
just as it is necessary to get
along with neighbors and neigh­
bor states, so is it necessary to
get along with neighbor nations.
And today, with no spot on
earth more than sixty hours
away by plane, with oceans
shrunk to the width of rivers,
with the age of rocket-travel
upon us, all nations are neighbor
nations.
There are hopeful signs that
finally we are awake to this.
Even so, a lack of determina­
tion, of responsibility, of effort
could again ruin the peace and
set the stage for World War 3.
What can you do to help make
sure that war will never come?
You can . . .
First, get and keep yourself informed
about the specific proposals for peace
and international cooperation which
are now before us.
Second, interest your friends in these
questions. Get them discussed in
groups to which you belong.
Third, write what you think to your
Congressman and Senators, to your
newspaper. Declare yourself.
