concentrating on the Christmas
goal of >59.000.
The society, which is non-sectar
ian and state-wide in scope, re
ceives no tax funds from govern
mental organizations. Its operat
ing expenses come entirely from
the voluntary contributions of pub
lic-spirited individuals and organi
rations.
The average cost for caring for
a baby one day is >3 60 Eighteen
dollars will provide for a baby's
food and clothing one month. For
one week, >4.80 is needed.

Spring Colors
Arc Envisioned
The five colon which arc going I
to be mo*t popular. this coming i
spring are grayed blue, toft pink. 1
yellow and green and a bisque
tone of pale beige You will aee
these tones in light-weight jerseys,
flannels, broadcloth, wool crepe,
and light weight worsteds and sil
ky fleece?.sg?'&|: ' ?
Another big hit WiW be crape
and silk print dresses with drap
ery detail at the tmnmy line. These
are quite a change from the linen
add rayon sheath dresses so popu
lar for the lant few seasons. They
are softer aad can be worn by
more women with success
Chiffon scarfs will be floting
from double slit pockets In many
dresses designed for morning.
Surah silk Is more important than
ever before. Flattering side-swept
draping at the bodice will be good.
Gold - metallic fabrics will carry
through the spring. Many linen
and cotton suits and dresses are
using gold trim. Qnj lovely cock
tail dress feature* a full skirt of
surah silk and gold metallic cock
tail pants showing through the
slit skirt which is open from waist
to hem. The bodice is fitted and
the sleeves are three-fourths dol
man design. This Is not the type
dress most of us will buy but it
looks interesting in a fashion show.
Shirtwaist type dress wearers
will be happy to know that top
designers say that the shirtwaist
style will be a big favorite this
coming spring and summer. One
designer has made ? trench coat
shirtwaist type dress that is destin
ed for fashion fame. By inverting
a pleat in a shirtwaist's sleeve the
designer has come up with a new
sleeve twist.
Lace is being coupled with nylon
marquisette or chiffon for a new
look in after-five clothes. The em
broidered look will be smart for
afternoon and evening clothes.
