E P E N D upon it, the happy po
sessor of a charming house
coat fashioned of gay and beguiling
evrrglaze chintz, us illustrated to
the left, w ill find it a source of Joy
and comfort the whole summer
through, and on Into mellow autumn
days.
Now's the tim e that the light
weight houserobc gives real serv
ice. Ideul it is tor betwixt and be
tween season wear, and it will con
tinue to carry on triumphantly way
up to when the new crop of luxuri
ant “ keep w arm " fashions begin to
come in.
Enthusiasm for housecoats and
hostess gowns done in gay print
Jersey, crepe and washable prints
has been unprecedented this season.
The trend is toward stunning modes
such as the dram atic bowknot print
hostess gown shown to the right.
The m aterial is a shantung in Du
Pont rayon yarn. The gown is ultra
modern in that it goes 50-50 print
with plain. The front bodice, as you
w ill note in the inset, shows a blouse
effect made of the plain. You'll love
this dress for its candlelight flattery
as well as its daytim e loveliness.
Houserobes of richly colorful Jer
sey print have high fashion rank for
fall. They are serviceable and ever
so good looking. One of their out-
standiuif features is that they are
so sm artly styled, some with inset
bolts, others with the new corselet
offect. Side-draping is much in evi
dence, also ruffled shoulder treat
ments and a dram atic use of jeweled
buttons at the waistline. These
bright jersey-print lovelies are not
only relaxation-perfect but you can
meet your guests with perfect poise
In one of these fashion-right robes.
The outlook for fall and winter at-
home fashions is most glamorous
D
Fabulous things are being done in
exciting lounge wear that involves
a use of glitter accents, exotic color
and picturesque silhouettes, also
there is a feeling of fa r East influ
ence expressed In such items as
hand - painted or sequin • trim m ed
leisure blouses worn with tapered
trousers. Gold bangles dangle from
belts, arms are laden with brace
lets, and m idriff effects are seen in
wide girdles and sashes.
Contrasting the dram atic and
sophisticated styling of luxury-type
novelties, the early new collections
show wool jersey hostess robes or
coats which place the accent on the
refinement and elegance of exquisite
simplicity. These are very lovely in
pastels, as for Instance, the side-
button model in pink wool Jersey
that achieves a slim-at-the-walstline
silhouette together with a full-skirted
hemline. Wool Jersey in the darker
colors w ill be a flrst-in-favor for
practical, “ comfy’’ good-looking fall
and winter housecoats.
The robe made of horseblanket
plaid brings in the American feel
ing. This type is the sort college
girls go for, and their practicality is
emphasized in that some of them
have a collar attachment cleverly
taped so that it may be converted
into a hood.
There is quite a wide use being
made of durable all-over lace in
tints to match the crepe with which
it is made up. One lovely model has
a peplum jacket blouse of all-over
lace which tops a skirt in matched-
color crepe. An increasing trend to
soft styling is noted all the way
through the advance at-home ap
parel collections.
since 1 started making pictures I ’ve
1 wanted to throw a pie at someone,"
said she. “ It seemed such fun. I
found it was." Alan Carney was on
the receiving end of the pastry, and
found Frances’ aim as good as her
voice.

Fall Sweater Dresses
Are Pretty and Practical
You w ill be seeing more cottons
worn this fall than ever. Their high
fashion rank is declared in Just such
stunning and wearable costumes as

three-piece charm er in black and
white gingham is just the type that

OOD tractor tires do two things. They
get every ounce of pulling power from
your tractor. They stay on the job. That’s why
Firestone Ground Grips are best on every
job . . . under all conditions.
There are sound reasons for this. Cord
bodies are 14% stronger. . . able to withstand
hard knocks. Tread life is 40% longer • • •
capable of giving years of extra service.
Firestone Ground Grips increase pull at
the drawbar by as much as 16%. T hat’s
because traction bars are
connected, adding up to
215 inches of traction bar
length per tractor. Also,
there are no broken-bar,
trash-catching pockets.
The strong, sturdy bars
are always clean . . . ready to take
the next deep, forceful traction step.
T h a t’s w h y it is ju st sound
economy, when buying tractor tires,
to demand Ground Grips, made
