MAGAZINE P The Newest Style Notes RINTS are the accepted Sum- mer fashion of the American public,” writes an authority on style, and seeing rows and Tows of rints of description on e racks of the dress shops, we feel pretty well convinced that this is just| sbout the truth of the matter. There | are dainty small prints and larger, more vigorous ones, stripes, plaids and unexpected modernistic effects. Prac- PRINTED SILK IN GRAY, BLACK AND RED. WITH BLACK SCARF. §K8§HED IN A WASHINGTON { SHOP. tically every one will want one or more | printed frocks for immediate wear. In | the darker colors they are excellent for the business woman, because they do | not show wear as quickly as a p!ain‘ material. In the lighter, gayer versions they are a favorite for afternoon bridge parties, and in the dainty flowered chif- fons and plaid organdies they are again | with us in the evening. They have & | freshness and newness that delights us | in the Sprin We find them in the dresses of all price levels, too, and often in the most inexpensive frocks there will be some excellent printed designs made up into very attractive models. | ‘The pattern catches the eye and the quality of the material is not so evi- dent, whichk is a good point for the present state of many pocketbooks. Good taste does not necessarily need a fat budget to satisfy it this season, though perhaps it might be well to give & thought to the conditions under which some of the most inexpensive dresses may have been made. But let us consider some of these tempting prints. Gray in several tones with accents of black and cherry red has an arresting quality. Just to make it different it has a scarf tie of black held in place with two very large cherry red ball buttons. Black silk crepe also lines the double slashed sleeves, which have wide cuffs at bracelet length. ‘These sleeves are set into generous arm- holes with fagoted bands of the print. A most serviceable frock for street and general wear is a combination of blue, | gray and white in a leaf and vine pat- tern, with a well covered surface, so that although it is not dark, yet it will | not show soil easily. It has a clever| neck arrangement of the print with tie ends, all edged with a white organdy pleating picoted in dark blue. The sleeves are a succession of six bias| ruffles, making them reach just below the elbows. The skirt has a pleat at the back to give added fullness. An attractive printed suit of pussy willow silk uses a small design of browns, grays, | orange and yellow that is lovely. The short b Jjacket fastens at the neck with two large buttons, and is sleeve- | less. The sleeves, which are quite large and puffed, are attached to the dress and have a lattice work of narrow brown strips set into the printed ma- terial. Brown silk also makes the soft :nllar. which is tied in a bow at the ront. Field flowers are proving them- selves great favorites on printed frocks of navy blue and black, as well as lighter colors. Flaming pop- ples, buttercups, daisies and blue corn flowers are the themes around which many of these prints are de- signed, and they produce eflects that are vivid and youthful. Sometimes these colors are combined with light green to good advantage, as in one dress where a band of plain green silk outlines the round neck and con- tinues down the shoulders through the center of the cape sleeves. The print of the frock is cut out to con- form somewhat to the floral design and appliqued onto the green band. A dainty and fresh-looking fil’ print is sprinkled with small black and white figures. It has a double collar of white organdy with the AGE, organdy, also bound in gray. A very unusual print of odd medium blues, string color, light green and white, introduces black monkey fur midway through puff sleeves of the Jacket. 3 ALL prints are not floral patterns, however, and right at this point is where stripes, checks and plaids come into the picture. A black and white finely checked triple sheer is used for an_adorable frock for smart country club affairs. It is combined with white checked pique which forms the straight narrow collar band and tie at the front and also makes a triangular plastron which is fastened in place with three large white buttons on each side. The wide part of the triangle is at the top and the point at the waistline. A ve narrow, slender triangle of the check material is superimposed on the white pique pointing upward. This makes & very nice effect. But that is only half of the story, for there is a darling white pique waistcoat jacket with big puff sleeves that goes with it, and the two certainly will cause eyes to turn and follow the wesrer of this smart outfit. T another shop is & snappy mannish street suit in brown and white pin striped sheer crepe. This is a three- piece model, the skirt being attached to a lining top over which goes & white pique vest, and over that a striped Jacket with wide white pique revers. A row of tiny buttons adorns the center front of the vest. This model is sketched. The Summer frock of printed crepe with a three-quarter coat of navy blue or dark brown sheer is a most serviceable garment. One of these with a brown coat has such a pretty printed dress to accompany it in soft yellow with tiny brown and white flowers scattered over it. One navy blue sheer with three-quarter coat has the tiny sleeves and upper part of the blouse portion of light blue sheer, which makes a very prac- tical outfit for all Summer, including traveling. The coat can be used with other dresses as well. Yellow, brown and white narrow plaid on a light background is good and is trimmed with organdy at neck and sleev \V‘HILE some white at the neck is always becoming and gives a look of neatness to a.frock, it requires a good deal of attention and some ple who lead very hurried lives prefer a dress without it. An attractive one of this kind is a small flower print of green, yellow, black and white with s draped MANNISH SUIT OF BROWN AND WHITE, WITH VEST AND LAPELS OF WHITE PIQUE.

The dress has short sleeves and there is a jacket with raglan sleeves which are banded with gray fur. Sev- eral people were overheard admiring an afternoon dress in a gray and white daisy pattern. These particular daisies are somewhat different from the fleld variety, as they have scarlet centers— sort of a poetic license—and to match these a red suede belt is used. There is a batteau neckline with four white organdy flowers with red stamens, and there are elbow-length puff sleeves. Dis- played near this frock is a gray silk suit W;:fl blouse strongly figured in red and ‘white. Don’t forget about the big coin-spot- ted starched chiffons for evening. ck with white dots is a smart one and has wide double sleeve ruffies, the inner one being of white. A red sash gives this frock a dash of color, and it Has a black taffeta slip, too. New Potatoes.

He has great eeonomic impor- tance in the South, and keeps the fields and woods free from decaying matter. The vulture, you know,"is supposed to haunt the battleflelds of Mars, and come down to earth only for the pur- pose of keeping it free from objection- able matter. From New Jersey southward, this bird is well known. There are well de- fined buzzards’ roosts, where these birds gather, and it is claimed that, day or night, there will be one or more of them resting on a gaunt old tree, dead and dejected looking, as if dis- graced by those perched upon its limbs Despite its size, the turkey vulture is a most graceful fiyer, and ascends to the height of several thousand feet. Even from this distance, he can detec with unerring accuracy the place where the odor or his eyes direct him. It is claimed that it is his marvelous sight, which is well known, is the guiding he follows, as a wind blowing at the rate of 20 miles an hour, with cross cur- rents, would not be possible as a means of information. These birds take little interest in nest building. In fact, they seek a hollow log, stump, or sheiter of a palmetto, and brood from one to four yellowish or grayish white eggs splashed with brown and black spots. The youn, look like huge powder puffs, they are covered with greenish-white down, and the little villains hiss at you and | have the loathesome habit of their parents, spitting on you.

But their head and neck are a flerce red and are wrinkled: the beak i8 2%, inches long and white, while the nostrils are wide and opening through the beak. Their eyves are red- dish-hazel, but rather benign looking. and the neck. though bare, is hidden by the handsome plumage. Over the up- per part of the body the feathers are a deep, lustrous black, with here and there a tint of brown. The linings of the wings, tail and tail coverts are a sooty black. The wings are exception- ally long and pointed, and the ends of the primaries reach to the.tail-feather tips. They appear to have on baggy knickers and their ankles are scaly, which seems to demand a great deal of their attention when they It is claimed that these glant birds of the air greet the morning’s sun with open and upraised wings, if in sol- emn meditation. They rise from the ground as if inspired, and soon are lost to sight in the blue. (Copyright, 1938.) _ For Bathtubs.

The name “doll” seems to have come from a nickname for “Dorothy”; but toys of this kind were known long be- | fore that name was used. In the Brit- ish museum are dolls from Egypt which date back more than 4,000 years. Some Egyptian dolls are composed of {ivory, some of clay. Others are wood or bronze. A little girl in Herculanium held a doll clasped tightly in her arms when the town was buried by mud and lava thrown out by.Vesuvius at the same time Pompell was destroyed. That was in the year 79. The sad story of that child was saved until modern times, when men dug into the debris which overed Herculanium. Children of every continent play with dolls. We find Eskimo girls with fur- clad dolls. In China the ‘“roly-poly’ doll is common; this doll is made of light-weight material except at the base. If you push it over, it will return to an upright position because of the manner in which it is weighted. When such dolls were sold in the United States 50 years ago, they were given the nick- I'M USING A NEW KIND OF SOAP IN MY WASHING MACRINE Answer.—That phrase can have many interpretations.
