"Go-to-School" Knits and Prints
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
MKKBmt'
J~\ING-DONG goes the bell that
sounds the knell of vacation as
it rings in "first day of school."
And again doting mothers are con
fronted with the problem of plan
ning practical and as attractive as
practical school wardrobes for the
children of the household, for as
every mother knows much of the
poise and happiness of little girls
in the classroom depend upon the
feeling of self confidence which a
pretty frock inspires.
To help in this matter of apparel
ling little daughter to a nicety here
are two suggestions we have i to
offer—knits and prints. Perhaps it
would be more accurate to say
crochets as well as knits for as
much crocheting is being done
these days as knitting. Simply a
matter of choice. To emphasize
the vogue for crochets and prints
we are showing three as cunning
classroom outfits as ever a fond
mother might hope to include in a
little girl's clothes collection.
See little Miss Twelve posing to
the left in the picture arrayed in
an ensemble that couldn't be pret
tier if it tried. It is crocheted in
two shades of blue knit-cro-sheen.
For the encouragement of would-be
crocheters who feel the urge to
copy this most attractive outfit we
are telling you that the stitch is
very simple and goes like light
ning when once you get started. The
skirt has gores of the lighter blue
and the blouse hidden by the scarf
is in matching light blue. It has a
stylish high neck that closes with a
drawstring. There are crochet but
tons to add glamor to the occasion.
The cutey-cute bag, the scarf and
the hat are crocheted to match.
In a many-piece crocheted outfit
as just described, the practical side

A pleasing topic ol conversation
among fur stylists and one that is
creating no-end enthusiasm, is in
■regard to the revival* of th* ever
beloved youthful-looking and won
derfully flattering gray squirrel.
When you go fur-coat shopping
keep this in mind and . look for the
charming squirrel models that are
making so welcome a re-appear
ance. Perfect for sports and for
more formal wear also, is the stun
ning double-duty coat pictured. It
brings back squirrel worked in the
striking new split skin fashion.
of the question is self-evident. The
blouse, the skirt and the jacket
may be worn separately, which
means that any number of changes
are possible, being just what is a
most needful virtue for school togs.
The simplicity and practicality
of the blouse-and-skirt two-piece tc
the right is a big argument in its
favor. This crocheted suit for the
grammar school Miss is a real find
when it comes to appropriate dress
for play or for classroom. The
blouse contrasts the dark skirt
which is in keeping with the pres
ent style trend to bring out striking
color effects. The wide sailor collar
provides a nautical touch. The gay
tassel tie gives a final flourish to
this most attractive back-to-school
dress which is so easily crocheted
of mercerized knitting and crochet
cotton. We almost forgot to mention
the crowning glory of these
crocheted garments they wash
perfectly and with as little trouble
as a gingham, a pique or any wash
fabric.
Picture for yourself little daugh
ter clad in a cunning print such as
the little girl centered in the pic
ture is wearing. The grand thing
about dresses made of the new
prints this season is that it is per
fectly safe to buy the correct size
for no longer does one have to al
low ior shrinkage. That is, if the
fabric is one of the newer prints
that are sanforized shrunk. It means
a great deal to know that little
daughter's gay print frock will not
shrink out of fit in tubbing.
In the washgoods sections one
finds the cunningest classroom
prints imaginable such as fashions
the little girl's dress pictured.

ALIX SCULPTURES
CLOTHES TO FIGURE
Outstanding among silhouettes
for -fall are those drawn by Alix.
Her dresses are fashioneu to dis
play every curve of a rounded,
feminine form through masterly,
manipulation and drapery of soft,
clinging fabric. This season, as
last, her favorite is jersey, both silk
and rayon.
Some of her skirts are so full and
flaring that they resemble lamp
shades or parachutes, while others
are caught under the hem like
Turkish trousers. Fall coats are
cut with a swirling flare.
Evening clothes, particularly,
would delight an ancient Greek
sculptor. Fullness is concentrated
in groups of folds or gathers di
rectly in front or back, not obscur
ing, but, rather, emphasizing, love
ly curving outlines.
Borders of four or five bright
colors emphasize the flare at the
hem of many evening dresses.
Luxury and Elegance to
Dominate Fall Costumes
Elegance and luxury will domi
nate the mode this autumn if the
costumes already appearing are
any criterion. Magnificent fabrics,
beautifully cut on exquisite lines, is
the recipe for late afternoon and in
formal and formal evening clothes.
Typical of this trend is a white din
ner ensemble with a long slim skirt
of white and silver blistered crepe
and a simple surplice bodice of
plain silver metal cloth. The shoul
ders, with double miffs and the tai
lored lapel collar, aire smart notes
on the short jacket that is fitted
in back and open in front.
Motorist's Button*
Among the novefty buttons that
have made their appearance are
those that carry the various road
signs for motorist*.

*** By VIRGINIA VALE***
AT THE time when this is be
ing written no general an
nouncement has been made by
Warner Brothers about Doris
Wester, but watch for a flood of
stories about her. She, you'll re
call, is the Major Bowes amateur
who made good.
When she sang on his program
months and months ago somebody
of importance heard her, and first
thing she knew .she was signed up
for the Rainbow Room in Rockefel
ler Center—one of the nicest and
smartest of New York's night clubs.
• She went right on from there. Re
cently she* was tested for the mov
ies, and it was said to be one of -the
most successful ever made. So
she, like many others, will switch
from radio to the movies.
I
When Ginger Rogers went east
on a vacation recently she made it
very clear to RKO's
publicity depart
ment that she Aas ■ , ,
goir.g for fun, not to W *' *" i
spend all her time '
being interviewed
and p&siag for pho- j
tographs. Her last > j
trip east was that i **' ,;1
kirtd of trip. L .jg
So this time she
lias been having
fun, going to thea- f * :f - ™
ters and dancing Ginger Rogers
(wouldn't you think
she'd have had enough dancing to
hold her for a while, when she got
through with "Swing Time'' with
Fred Astaire?)
—* —
Joan Fontaine, Olivia de Havi
land's younger sister, is headed for
success. Jesse I.asky has signed
her, and she will make her first
picture in England, unless plans
are changed.
You girls who want to go into
pictures might take a lesson from
Olivia, by the way. Although she
grew up in California, not so aw
fully far from Hollywood, she did
not tackle the movie studios. She
stayed home and went to high
school and worked hard with the
school dramatic club—and it was
as a result of that dramatic club
and its performances that she
broke into the movies without the
slightest difficulty.
Do see "To Mary—with Love,"
e-pe'.ially if you like Myrna Loy
and Warner Baxter, the team that
made such a success of "Broadway
BiU." This is quite a different s©rt
of picture, one of those young-mar
ried ones where disaster threatens
the course of true love. It is very
well done.
It's a great relief to everybody
that Jeanette Mac Donald and Gene
Raymond have announced their en
gagement. For years and years
people have expected her to marry
her manager, Bob Ritchie, who has
certainly guided her affairs very
well. They say the blond Mr. Ray
mond looks like a young man with
whom she was in love when she was
on the stage, before she gave the
movies a thought.
When you see "Reunion," the sec
ond feature picture made by the
famous quintuplets, you'll also hear
them talking. It's being made now,
with some of the same actors who
appeared in "The Country Doc
tor."
And did you see that delightful
news reel of the babies, "All Walk
ing"? There has never been a
more delightful scene than the one
in which four of them dance, while
the fifth persistently tries to stand
on her head.

By the time you read this the
wedding bells may have rung for
Joan Blondell and
I Dick Powell, though
she is denying, just
now, that she is go
fe ■ ing to marry him.
P m 1 But —he has re
[ CVj served rooms on a
I boat sailing for New
§m\ York, under the
■j£ji names of "Mr. and
|hjk Mrs. Dick Powell."
Her divorce be
comes final before
Dick Powell then. And she has
been making plans
to go to New York. For some reason
or other Hollywoodites like to deny
that they're going to be married
right up to the very instant when
the ceremony takes place.

Never prune climbing roses in
the fall. Cut out all dead canes
but wait until next spring before
cutting out dead shoots.

In pressing never put an iron
on the right side of any goods

Pull out old stalks in your vege
table garden as soon as the crop
has been picked. This will make
the cleaning up of the garden later
much easier.

If a thick cloth is placed at the
bottom of a pan or bowl in which
delicate china or glass is being
washed the danger of chipping
will be lessened. This will also
prevent silver from being
scratched.

Woodwork which has to be
painted should be well smeared
with lime water, which can be
obtained at any druggist's. Let
dry and then paint. The paint will
dry in half the time. Put the brush
in water when you have finished.
It will be quite soft for next day.
