Thousand*- of persons lined the docks at Den Helder. Holland, as the Dutch submarine K-18 left on what is the
pest trip ever undertaken by an undersea boat. She will visit five continents on her eight months’ cruise.
M AYBE you will and maybe you
won’t have time to crochet one
or the other of the cunning garments
here pictured before Christinas, but
where there is a will to do and dare
why not “get busy*’ and find a way?
Really, can you think of anything to
hang oh the Christmas tree that will
bring greater Joy to the heart of a
child than either of these cunning
hand-crochet frocks or the gay coatee
with It’s Jaunty matching beret? ,
Anyway what If you do not see your
way clear to finish before the holi
days, a gift as adorable «s this will
be hailed with delight any day on the
calender. Being done in sturdy mer
cerized crochet cotton, apparel like
this Is an 'all-year-round proposition
so far as timely wearableness is con
cerned. Either llttl$ dress will be
charming to w*ar to parties this win
ter, made In a dark or a pastel color,
and being washable they will emerge
from their tubbing all ready to wear
when spring and summr comes.
Senatorial Secretaries Are Ready
POST FOR SEA HERO
To “brighten the corner where you
are” Is no task for a little girl dressed
for a party In the hand-crochet dress
of bright yellow pearl cotton (centered
in the group). The skirt Is a series
of crochet-lace ruffles done In shell
mesh stitch, matching the round collar
and slightly puff sleeves. Each ruffle,
and about the neck and sleeves, Is
tipped with white. There Is no wear-
out to a dress of this mercerized cot
ton.

MAY SUCCEED FARLEY
There Is much more give and take
in our new clothes Judging from the
numbers of things brought out on the
bias.
Sleeves are set into shoulders blasly,
>r very often sleeves and yoke, coming
down In a design back and front, ap
pear on short Jackets as well as three-
quarter and full-length coats, and on
dresses themselves.
Another 1934 winter notion la the
use of solid color In two and three-
piece suits with the splash of color
coming in a short scarf about one yard
long and six to ten Inches wide. This is
knotted rather close at the throat and
the ends are sometimea tucked In or
else they are tucked through tabs that
button or fasten on the back of the
lapels of the jacket or coat

lent opportunity for the combination
of different fabrics. Take this de
sign—you can make it entirely of
wool with just buttons and a belt
buckle for trimming, or you can make
It 'wtth, for Instance, -a plaid woul_
skirt and a plain velveteen blouse,
repeating fine of the most attractive
shades lu the plaid. However you
make It up. the well-cut skirt v\;it!i
Its smart kick-pleats and the becom
ing lines of the blouse will appear to
advantage! — r—

Again the swish of taffeta resounds
in fashion’s realm. Especially during
the romantic evening hours does ths
murmuring of Its rustle make music
In the air. What’s more “they say’*
that taffeta will be s very Important
fabric both In winter resort and early
spring modes. The dance frock pic-
txred is of deep blue celanese taffeta.
A huge bow of self-taffeta at the neck
and a- pronounced flare of fullness
from the knee carry this lovely and
youthful gown to a point of high dis
tinction.
