Simple Fricks With Buttons

ECONOMY and style are both on
^ our minds when we want to do
something to a dress to change its
manners, its general outlook. Being
women, nothing pleases us more
than being able, with a simple trick
or two, to do-sorhething magic to a
dress and thus lead our friends to
think that we have a brand new ad-
.htii n to the wardrobe.
Classic style dresses are easiest
to change because their good tailor*
n can rake all sorts of trimming
tricks. Do you have a classic but-

If you have a cardigan neckline
on a dress, the whole of it can be
outlined with a lively plaid. ‘ You
might even make cuffs on the
sleeves of the plaid,-
When it's too complicated to add
the plaid trimming to the neckline,
you might change the belt on the
dress by making that m plaid, sim
ply adding cuffs to the sleeves and
perhaps inserting a band or two of
the plaid around the bottom of the
skirt.

to plaid and making quaint pointed
packets uf the same material.
If you have a dress or suit in plaid,
the appearance of the whole thing
can be changed by using white pique
trimming at collars and cuffs. Or,
if you prefer something different,
select one of the colors in the plaid,
purchase a solid material in that
and use, this for trimming collars

Eyelet is very popular for trim
mings, too. Since it is rather ex
pensive you might satisfy your need
for change simply with a bit of ruf
fled eyelet edging the collar and
cuffs of the dress. If it has a but-
ton-down-the-front, edge this with
eyelet.
What to Do
With Buttons
Buttons on washable dresses usu
ally find themselves in a weary cor-
r. r as the season draws to a close.
Most of these dresses, suits and
bloi’.-t s will benefit with a change of
butt.- ns, but be certain they are the
same s-ise to fit the button holes you
ah - ,.dy have or, the garment.
Button treatments also are used
on the- sleeves to add interest. Sim
ply run five or six buttons down the
sleeve, beginning at the shoulder if
you want to add above the waist in
terest on a tailored dress or blouse.
Another effective way of using
buttons is in a diagonal treatment,
either outlining pockets or simulat
ing them.
For best effect, the buttons chos
en should, in themselves, be inter
est catching.^ When you want to
point up interest in them, select a
contrasting color instead of a match
ing one. Also, remember that but
tons show up better on solids than
on prints.
For bodices that are plain and
will take buttons, a double breasted
treatment of tinv gold buttons is fre
quently very effective. This is es
pecially popular on such things as
the bolero sundress type.
In some cases, you can use on
your accessories the same button
treatment that you have on a dress.
Diagonal button treatments on
gloves, for instance, frequently can
tie thorn nicely to a certain dress
or suit.
Buttons as well as bows are being
used to gather up §i part of a wide
full skirt in some cases.

Sheers belong to any season, es
pecially when they’re black or
navy. The design sketched holds
a rich promise of future fashion,
too, in its magnificent develop
ment of back lullhess. The un
usual effect achieved by the apron
is climaxed in a bow to accent the
back silhouette. The simplicity of
the bodice is the best possible foil
tor the dramatic skirt.
Bands and Bows
Will Do Wonders
Have you ever thought of how ef
fective a band trimming can be es
pecially when it is used on a print
dress or suit? When the print is
crowded, the solid colored banding
seems somehow to clean the print
and define it.
If you have a two-piece print
dress, try outlining the jacket with
a band that matches one of the
darker colors in the print. Use it
around the front of the jacket, out
lining it completely, and then use
around the sleeves and pockets, too.
Frequently this little trick will lift
many a weary dress out of the dol
drums., • k /
Bias tape is best to use for this
type of trimming because it’s all
folded and pressed. The tape comes
in cotton and rayon so that you can
select the proper type for your ma
terial.
Many band trimming effects can
be relieved with bows made out of
the trimming. These are especially
effective for the youthful fashions.
. The jacket of a summer dress for
a girl in her jteens may carry three
or four widely spaced rows of.band
ing for trimming. Bows can come
at the qlosing of the bodice to hide
snaps or button^.
If you prefer, only the skift may
be band trimmed. Use one large
bow on the highest band as a trim
ming. It’s important not to overdo
the bow part of the trimming, es
pecially on the skirts, for their full
ness is, in a sense, a lot of trim
ming.
If you have contrasting trimming
anywhere on the dress, bow r s can be
made of this material and attached
to the pockets of the dress for more
interest '

Ruby's Beauty Shoppe
Ruby’s Beauty Shoppe, on South Broad Street, w’as estab
lished in October, 1946, and is one of the most modernly equip
ped beauty parlors in Clinton, carrying a full line of nationally
known cosmetics and featuring the famous Contoure line of
beauty aids.
Mrs. Dudley (Ruby) Ray, owner has been in the beauty
parlor work for 14 years, and she notes with interest progress
made in beauty culture during these years.
It may seem a bit amusing when one reads that around
1750 women stiffened their hair with meal and grease, moulded
it into various shapes, fastened oVer rolls of horsehair to make
it look curly . . . and when wigs were fashionable, the process
for permanent waves required placing the hair in boiling wa
ter for hours (suitable only for false hair) . . . but today per
manent waving is universal due to safety, economy and per
fected techniques.
Ruby's Beauty Shoppe is attractive and comfortable, and
caters to those who care, reminding you that “Professional
Care ... Is Best for Your Hair.” Capable operators also spe
cialize in hair-cutting. All phases of beauty service are ren
dered at Ruby’s Beauty Shoppe.
