/Answer to What-to-Wear Problem
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
"}EAR, oh dear me, here’s that
tantalizing, baffling between-
season *‘what-to-wear” question
bobbing up again! Cheer up, for
the problem is all nicely solved.
Fashion gives the answer “just as
easy as that” in two short words—
dark sheer.
The four costumes pictured will
smartly apparel a “best dressed”
woman way into autumn and then
it’s a safe guess that you will be
wearing these pretty frocks under
winter coats now and then until bliz-
zardy weather sets in.
Should it be that your budget lim
its choice to just one of the cos
tumes pictured we would recom
mend the dressy silk sheer tuxedo
jacket dress shown at top to the
right. For all-around about-town
practical general wear you will find
that it will prove very nearly per
fect. The jacket with its smart, new
bracelet-length sleeves will serve as
a mid-season wrap and look* as
smart over your : colorful silk print
frock as it does With its own match
ing dress. As here ensembled the
white lingerie touches give a flat
tering neckline. Pink doeskin gloves
and a salad bowl hat trimmed in
pink add eye-appealing contrast.
You will derive infinite satisfac
tion wearing an afternoon dress like
the model worn by the stylish young
matron seated to the right in the
foreground. It is styled smartly of
sheer black crepe. Lots and lots
of tucks form a front plastron to
the blouse. Tucks in profusion also
embellish the sleeves and add hem
interest to the skirt. A pink clip
finishes qff the low neckline. Gloves
of matching pink and a bonnet that
is faced with a mass of pretty pink
posies carry out the color scheme
most intriguingly.
You’ll be wanting a dinner dress
for special invitation affairs, and to
our way of thinking the model to the
■ft:-.::::
mmm
'
left gives satisfactory answer. This
gown of navy blue silk sheer is so
conservatively styled it will “fit in
to most any niche”—will prove
wearable for afternoon as well as
informal night occasions. A softly
pleated bodice extends from a yoke.
The fact that latest news from
abroad places special emphasis on
the importance of yokes in the ad
vance styling program stamps this
gown as of last-minute origin. A
gay corsage of flowers and a slim
skirt that has graceful pleats re
leased below the hipline give to this
costume definite style prestige.
Centered in the background we
show an important afternoon dress
of black suede-surfaced heavy silk
sheer with the new vertically shirred
front that achieves a flattering slen
derized figure line. It ranks among
the best examples of draping. It is
this type of draping that character
izes the new and muchly heralded
daytime dresses of sleek figure-re
ducing rayon or, better still, pure
silk jersey. For a mid-season or fall
fashion-first dress this is the sort
that is selling at sight. The draped
silk jersey turban worn with the
model pictured is unusually good
style.
New fall types just arriving stress
fringe-trimmed black ’ silk sheers.
The fringe is so worked into the
plan of things that it seems an in
tegral part of the dress and it is
manipulated to accent slenderness.

SILK DAY COATS
Bjr CHERIE NICHOLAS
A fashion that is proving most
welcome and timely for midseason
wear is the long coat of handsome
black silk, either crepe, faile or otto
man weave. The model pictured
gives the new corseted waistline via
vertical tucks. Note also the flared
skirt, with the new full-at-front
silhouette. The baroque patent
leather belt and the white pique bou
tonniere ddd swank to this out
fit. Worn over the midsummer fa
vorite print frock you have a cos
tume that “carries on” triumphant
ly through the between-season in
terval.
Short Tennis Dresses
The most popular tennis dress is
that with the skirt two or three
inches above the knees, store ex
perience reveals.
Sheer Housecoats
The movies are responsible for a
trend toward sheer housecoats worn
over ruffled petticoats.
PEASANT FASHIONS
CONTINUE POPULAR
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
The spirit of “let’s be gay” per
sists throughout sports attire that
flashes bright peasant qplorings and
amusing silhouettes that are quaint
ly picturesque. Dirndls? Yes, they
answer “present” in the fall collec
tions. The newest and smartest ver
sions are done in lively wool challis
prints. Some are girdled with black
velvet ribbon and flaunt metal but
tons—enough to strike any style-as
piring schoolgirl’s fancy.
The Swedish motifs, with their gay
embroideries, are popular as ever,
and tall crowned alpine hats flaunt
ing gay feathers are the milliners’
pride for fall. The fascination of
the peasant outfits lies in the fact
they are often exact replicas and
the more young girls look like gaily
attired peasants “just landed” the
smarter they are attired according
to fashion’s verdict.
Street Length Clothes Go
Picturesque for Fall Wear
: Paris dressmakers are seeing to
it that informal and street length
clothes are every bit as glamorous
and exciting as evening gowns.
Bruyere answers the challenge
with picturesqueness—a full skirted
taffeta dress worn over a starched
petticoat. White stockings and a
poke bonnet complete the old-fash
ioned picture.
Paquin solves the problem with
sophistication in a series of dressy
afterhoon suits with draped jackets
and small but rippling collars of
fox.
Purple and Plum Shades in
Offing for Early Autumn
The injection of purple and plum
shades into midsummer costumes
is merely a hint of an important
fashion that will be featured by ear
ly autumn.
Everywhere in fashion circles
there is talk of purple tones for day
time dresses, for sports costumes
and for accessories. In addition
to the general interest in the shade
for informal daytime occasions,
many velvet afternoon dresses and
evening gowns are to flaunt this roy
al hue.

Army to Ape 0 f West Point. A
Strategy sweeping techni-
Of Football cal reorganization
of the army is
news this week. It might not have
come off had it not been for a cer
tain incident on the West Point foot
ball field. Gen. Malin Craig, chief
of staff, is the reorganizer. He is
preparing the army for the open
game—swiftness, mobility, adaptive
ness, as in modern football.
It was an instant of inspired open
football, back in the juggernaut
days of the guards back and the
side-line buck, that saved young
Malin Craig for the army and the
current reordering of tactics and
equipment. .
Just before the game with
Trinity college in 1897, the West
Point scholastic command had
decided to retire Cadet Craig.
Of an ancient army line, with
many relatives in the service,
he had been visiting around
army posts. His marks had suf
fered. The ax was to fall just
after the game.
Craig was a brilliant backfield
player, but somewhat given to un
planned maneuvers. Carrying the
ball at a critical turn of- the game,
he lost his interference in a broken
field. He shook off several tacklers,
but, somewhere around the 35-yard
line, a stone wall of Trinity play
ers loomed ahead.
Ducking a hurtling body, scarcely
checking his stride, he booted a per-
. feet field goal—
Young Craig winning the game,

trimmings. Of
course, the faculty couldn’t fire a
hero. The ax was put away, a tutor
was found, and Cadet Craig finished
creditably—to establish the open
game in the American army.
He was a baseball star, also,
and old Pop Anson tried to sign
him for the Chicago National
team. Born in St. Joseph, Mo.,
he was the grandson of a Civil
war general. His father was a
major and he has a son recently
out of West Point.
In the Spanish-American war, the
Philippines, France and in minor
mixups, he was a quick thinker and
a self-starter, heavily garlanded
from the first and known as a “pro
gressive” tactician.

A FEW years ago, Richard
Strauss was in trouble with the
Na;is. The libretto of his opera,
“The Silent Woman,” had been writ
ten by Stefan
Strauss is * Zweig, a “non-
Restored to Aryan.” The op-
Nazi Favor f T ra waa a fl°P and
Herr Strauss was
ousted as president of the Reich
Culture chamber and chairman of
the Federation of German Compos
ers. He is now restored to official
favor.
His librettist for his new op
era, “Der Fridenstag,” is a cer
tified Aryan, Joseph Gregor, a
Viennese poet, and its world pre
mier at Munich is a brilliant
success, with ..new garlands for
the seventy-five-year-old com
poser.
So apparently all is forgiven, and
the traditional rebel of the musical
world is rebelling no longer. He
had decided to save the world at
any cost, but turning sixty, he con
cluded he was doing well enough by
merely keeping out of jail.
When “Salome” was presented in
1905, puritanical New York was
shocked, and the

Famous Row caused a row. Its
presentation 1 n
New York in 1921 was taken calmly.
Strauss’ “Murky Psychographies,”
as the critics called them, didn’t
bring any riot calls. These muddy
phantasmagorias of his earlier
years got him into many battles,
but he settled down to writ&g and
—being a good business rpan—to
money making. Once, when he was
quarreling with Berlin, hb was
asked if he would play there. “I
would play on a manure pile if-they
pay me for it,” he said.
He is no kin of the famous
waltz family of Vienna. In mel
low and beery old Bavaria, his
father was a horn-blower and
his mother a brewer’s daughter.
He has prospered through his
later years, the owner of a cas
tle in Vienna and an estate in
Bavaria.
In 1930, German cities were fight
ing for him as their leading citizen,
with chambers of commerce com
peting and making offers. Then
came the brief eclipse over the
“non-Aryan” associations, and now
the full effulgence of his restored
career.

The “Briny Toyshop” was closed
for the day. Its tiny show win
dow still displayed an enticing ar
ray of delightful jplaythings, but
the latch was hard down on the
door, and its little lady propri
etress had retired to her favorite
low rocker by a rear window fac
ing the sea.
The most persistent youth in the
small sea-faring village rattled
the door, but in vain. Miss Ma
tilda Bell did not even hear.
There seemed more than ordi
nary magic in the glowing spell
cast by the sun at this close of
day. The old-fashioned garden
sloping to the rocky shore seemed
a fairy place. The sea was many-
hued, dusky, wondrous, and its
melody came pleasantly to Miss
Matilda. There were dreams in
Miss Matilda’s eyes as she
watched; not the happy, hopeful
dreams of youth, but the deeper,
sadder dreams of one who has
lived long.
Miss Matilda was so much a
part of her surroundings that she
had ceased to notice them in de
tail. Her mind had flown back
nearly 59 years, to the time when
she had not the faintest thought
of ever being a little, elderly,
sweet-faced lady sitting by her
self in the twilight.
To the time when she was a
Young, adventurous girl pledging
her troth to a dashing young naval
officer. Even now her eyes grew
dim as the memories came drift
ing in on the breeze. Dream pic
tures blotted out the garden, the
rocks, the sea itself, and Miss
Matilda felt herself in the arms of
her young lover, so tender, so
dear—
'And he had sailed away, full of
hope and happy anticipations of
the day when he should return to
make her his wife. Miss Matilda’s
eyes blurred. That day had never
come. There had been a fire
aboard the ship—and the young
officer, who belonged heart and
soul to Matilda Bell, had given
his life for another.
Years had taken away that first
tragic grief, but Miss Matilda had
loved too deeply to forget. How
she wished she had been with
him! Sometimes he seemed to
speak to her in the voice of the
sea, and she would say that she
was coming—some day soon, very
soon—coming to be with him.
On the rocks below Miss Ma
tilda’s cottage two figures were
silhouetted against the dull red
sky.
“But, dear girl”—the man’s
voice was tender, serious—“you
don’t know what the life is. I
do—and I wouldn’t condemn any
woman to it, least of all—you. It
will be a torture without you—
but it wouldn’t be fair to take
you.”
The girl’s straight, sweet gaze
held his steadily.
“But, Tom, don’t you see I
want to go? It may be years
before you come back. Our mar-
riage-that-is-to-be is going to be

“A child must have a chance
to express ideas,” says a
psychologist. ■!* Yes, • but not on
plain wallpaper!
“Girls were quicker in their
movements eighty years ago,”
says a writer. They got a bus
tle on then.
“And they call America the
land of free speech,” said the
disgusted Scot when the tele
phone operator told him to put
a nickel in the box.
The best husbands are those
who marry young. If a man
waits till he has money it hurts
more to pay it out.
true partnership, Tommy boy, and
it must begin by my going to
South America with you now. I
can face anything—with you!”
The two silhouettes suddenly
converged into one as Tom said
huskily:
“Bless you, sweetheart, you’re
coming with me. We’ll play the
game of life squarely—together.”
And up in the little dusky win
dow above the garden, with the
sea still crooning a low love song,
Miss Matilda had come into her
own.
