large collars of arresting shapes
everywhere on suits, dresses, coats
and evening gowns. Forward fly
ing collars und big, pointed cuffs
give the clothes the movement for
which the silhouette Is distin
guished.
Normal shoulders are still fash
Ion-wise, but that doesn't mean
they look poor or droopy. The
secret of the new and exciting line
is the "ris in g ” shoulder line, an
optical illusion made by flanges
and points shooting up from the
bodice. Bias-cut shoulder folds
and draped halter necklines w ill
be popular.
Other bodice Interests include
high-laced,
out-curving
pockets,
bows, points and twists of fabric.
Tuxedo treatments are coming
to the fore in the new clothes, as
well as the shorter length jackets
and young-looking, short, boxy
coats.
One of the more popular neck
line treatments seen thus tar is
called the two-way closing neck
line which may be buttoned high
or left unbuttoned to form a collar.
This is seen on both coats and
dresses.

t n i l Y DO HUSBANDS, so often,
” after marriage, want to change
the women they found so complete
ly perfect in pre-marriage days?
And why do so many engaged girls
speak with assurance of the alter
ations they expect to make in their
mates, once they are sure of them?
Early m arried life consists, for
such couples, in an unending war
between D ick’s preconceived ideas
of what a wife should be. and

Whatever threatens successful
marriage is of vital national impor
tancc in these domestically-shaken
days, and this is one of the most
serious threats. It seems to me
that any mother or father who
wants the future of a daughter or
son to be somewhat secure, could
do worse than warn that daughter
or son of this particular danger.
