DRESS PLANNING AVERTS MISTAKES Putting; Thoughts on Each Purchase Means Handsome, Economical Results. By Julia Mclver, Clothing Spec ialist At State College Raleigh, Sept. 19 Do you have a coat, hat or frock in your clos et that you bought on impulse and found simply didn’t go with any thing you own? Sixty-fivie out of 100 women are constantly making such mis takes. To plan an outfit is a com paratively recent idea in clothing. One used to purchase a dress or hat with little thought as to what was to be worn with it. Then she wondered why she never seemed to look nice. The best-dressed women are not the wealthiest, but these who plan well and take time to buy. In planning your new outfit the first thing is to consider the pos sible social occasion for which you must have a complete ensemble. You will consider the location of your home and the type of acti vities in which you will be en gaged. It is a joy to know that the clothes you are wearing are suitable for the occasion. The next best thing to do will be to consider clothing already on hand that can still be used. Then decide on a color scheme This is very necessary, for you want all of your clothes to blend well. It is wise to select a basic color for the main articles of clothing. The coat is usually the most expensive garment and the one used for several years. It should be a staple color such as black, brown, gray or navy. These colors can then be combined with a favorite color to vary the ward robe. Other garments do not have to be the same color, but should blend. One thing you will want to avoid is a complete outfit of one color with everything in the same shade. This fall you will wapt a dress or hat in one of the You Are Joßfei?C\ Invited . ♦.

It often happens that there are things in your wardrobe which you must wear another season coats, for instance. In this case, your color scheme would defin itely be influenced, because you will want to blend new clothes in such away that they will look well with an old coat. Sometimes it is economical to discard an old dress that is the wrong color or not quite right rather than buy a new set of accessories for the dress. After you have decided on your color, what you need 1 and how much money you can spend, you should study smart fashion maga zines, shop windows and adver tisements and see what is new and fashionable.

Suits have three styles of jack ets, the longer fitted jacket, the dress or the plaid jacket over the plain dress. If you are to be a sucessful shopper you will sit down with a pencil and paper and figuer out your needs and their relationship to your entire wardrobe and way of living. It is a good plan to purchase several pieces of wearing appar el at one time so that you can see how they will go with each other. The basic dress is a good thing to keep in mind.

Revive the Classic Basil Rathbcne, distinguished stage and screen star, believes that the only way to bring about a Shakespearean revival is to re move the study of Shakespeare’s works from the curricular of pub lic schools throughout the nation. “To bring Shakespeare back,’’ Rathbone declared, “quit teach ing it in high schools. The Bard is a delight to mature minds, but he is torment to juveniles, who do net understand him.” That rather startling statement from a Shakespearean actor from ’way back was made during the filming of Bing Crosby’s new Paramount picture, “Rhythm on the River”, starring Rathbone and Mary Martin, which starts a two day engagement at the Pal ace theatre today. “Everytime a boy cr girl of fourteen to eighteen is compelled to memorize Hamlet’s Soliloquy or Marc Anthony’s oration over the body of Caesar, another nail is driven into the coffin of the Shakespearean drama. “That’s the principal factor in the current decline of those clas sics”, he continued, “almost every young or midle-aged person in America is nursing a grudge a- IWALGREENI |§ Heavy I AGENCY 4 Milk I I 1 Oil 4 1 Magnesia I II qt. 39c | Prescriptions I pt. 23c 11 I I You and your doctor can be absol- I ■ m 100 5 grain ■ utely sure that each prescription ■Challense Fountain I Aspirin I . , I Syrinscor Water I ■ I ■is tilled exactiv as instructed. ■ g | I II 9c | “Two Registered Pharmacists” I 37C I I j Vicks Salve I C Liver Jpo-Do Shave A Sweetheart I II I Oil I Cream I Soap I II 27c | pt. 69i | L 50c | L 19c | I no wuhihi—hhmhi w jmbiiiibiiiiiiiim i—ll— up 1 I I A Wine A Note Book A Coca-Cola A Wampoles I II Cardui I Fillers I 6 bottle carton I Preparation I II 79c | L 11c | 21c | 89c | gj,—a fflp MB- -fcjIMHMMHHfciJI I I flClose-Out Special ■ V*S V*e A Pond's Cream I I Ladies Silk Hose I ftq LP Lj I 55c Size I ||?r.69c I I, ' LL I 36c I I Movie Cash Coupon I A Epsom Salts I _ A Waljreen Milk II 5 lbs for ITo Each Customer On I Ma3nesia T Paste I II I Evary Purchase ’ I I Thomas & Oakley I I DRUG STORE J I f gainst the Bard of Avon, a grudge dating back to their schooldays. © FALL SEEDS I°x Rye, Oats, Barley, Wheat, Crimson Clover and Vetch adapted to this section and‘thoroughly recleaned can he bought at a saving.
