Silk Polka Dots, Fruit Motifs, Color .By CHERIE NICHOLAS mu* m i! ■ r.- IN THE springtime fancy turns ea- A gerly to ‘‘what’s new” in silk prints. This season the story is more fascinating than ever with tales of daring new colors and de signs that are writing romance and drama in every chapter. There’s a mad rush for red, a play-up of fruit motifs in realistic colorings on white background, a new array of shantung silks, either monotone or printed; a repeat on polka dots with special emphasis on twin prints; and a predominance of patriotic colors. You’ll see a rec ord-breaking number of prints that key beige and brown to tangerine, bittersweet and kindred colors, a strong accent on bizarre South American colors, especially purples and reds and Peruvian pink, a hand- paint technique used for flowery par ty-dress prints—and here we “pause for identification” of some of the newest print fashions as shown in the illustration herewith. A sure way of being fashion-right in selecting the new print frock for spring is to think in terms of silk shantung, which is exactly what the designer did in creating the neat and attractive dress to the right in the picture. Styled the South American way^ with its bolero silhouette and general detail, this printed plaid silk shantung dress is the very em bodiment of style at a new high. One of the delights of shantung is the lovely pastel monotones that are favorites for dresses and suits, tai lored to a nicety for both sports and daytime wear. The dress to the left in the group is made of a pastel blue shantung with gay dotted shan tung for the turban and bag. If you look close, you will see the tip edge of a matching polka dot parasol. The dress under a monotone wool coat makes a perfect greeting for spring. You’ll be carrying the smart para sol ever so pridefully when sum mer comes. Navy prints with navy wool top coats or long dramatic capes are “tops” in fashion. Stylish accesso ries are a hat and bag of plaid silk in colors as mad and merry as you please. You can either make, (pat terns are easily available) or buy ready made, these enlivening two somes. Two designers are sounding the patriotic note by introducing wide bands of red and white crepe silk in the lining. You can do the same thing with the vivid South American colors—introduce them in linings, or in the yoke of the dress. Look about in the silk displays and you will be impressed with the number of prints that couple pink with black or with navy. These pretty ladylike prints invite gracious styling, such as has been given to the gown centered in the group pic tured. This dainty frock is made on slim lines with novel petal pockets made of self-print. There is increas ing interest shown in pockets throughout current costume design. They contribute great charm to sim ple print daytime dresses. The pink hat worn with the frock pictured complements the dress. It has a crochet bumper edge — crochet touches are ever so chic—and what is most apropos is that this hat sports a knitting needle trim. Wear pink or black suede gloves with this outfit for proper accent. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Smart Simplicity M Cape, Suit Ensembles In Spring Collections Considerable emphasis is being ^ placed on cape costun^es in the ad vance spring showings. The cape formula is being worked out in ways most fascinating. For example, a charming costume turned out by a noted designer plays up bright and neutral colors in the latest approved manner. The suit of soft gray wool consists of an all-round box-pleated skirt with a dressmaker-styled jack et that is hiplength and has two huge patch pockets. Now comes the stun ning cape that tops this neat suit! It is full length, made of red herring bone weave, lined with lime green silk. A good rule to follow might be “a cape with every costume” so popu lar is the cape idea growing. One of the newest outcomes of the cape vogue is that many of the early spring print silk frocks are worn with long cloth capes lined with the identical silk of the dress. Statistics show that there is an increase in yardage sales owing to the fact that a growing number of women are taking up home sewing. This, they say, may be largely at tributed to the fact that almost ev ery community nowadays has a sewing center where one can learn at little or no expense the short-cuts and tricks of the trade. The dress pictured can be made up easily and at minimum cost. The material need not be expensive. Why not learn to make your own clothes? Some of the rayon mixtures in pastel colors would be practical for a beginner to start with, and the new gabardines are lovely and wear able. The pattern for this dress calls for soft gathered detail and is a type that can be easily made at home. Modern Handbags Gain Slick Smooth Efficiency What handbags have lost in the absence of French models, (which formerly inspired 90 per cent of our handbag styles) they are gaining in improved construction, better ma terials, and interesting tricks which make them newly efficient. One trick is a slot which feeds a nickle outside the bag. Another is a key clip on a light for inside the hand bag—so that keys may be located instantly. Another is the gluv-gard, which anchors one’s gloves to one’s handbag. Handbag interiors are gaining a great deal of attention. More and better planned pockets are the rule. And one important new detail in interiors is a special pocket zipper. When you slide your hand into a pocket protected by this fastener, there are no rough teeth to get past —the zipper is kind to nail polish. It slides like a streak and adds orna mentation, as well as safety to American-made handbag ’nteriors. ly Clmo Scott WoUoh (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) The ‘Original Cowgirl* W HEN an automobile accident resulted in the death of Lucille Mulhall near the town of Mulhall, Okla., recently, it snapped another link with the Old West. For she was the “original cowgirl,” the first of that tribe of daring young women who risk their necks riding bucking broncoes and roping steers or calves. But unlike many of the “syn thetic cowgirls” you see at the ro deos or in circuses today, Lucille Mulhall was “authentic.” She was the daughter of Col. Zach Mulhall, a pioneer of Oklahoma, whose ranch on Beaver creek once comprised more than 80,000 acres. While she was still a little girl her father offered to give her every yearling she could rope and brand by herself. But he soon begged off on his bargain when he noticed how many of his steers were wearing the brand of “L. M.” When she was 14 she was the star attraction at the reunion of Roose velt’s Rough Riders in Oklahoma City in 1900. There she matched her Lucille Mulhall in 1916. skill as a rider and roper against some of the best cowboys in the Southwest and held her own with them. Four years later at the cat tlemen’s convention in Fort.Worth, Texas, she did even better when she entered the steer-roping contest. ‘Queen of the Range.’ Each contestant drew three steers by lot. Miss Mulhall got two big tough ones at the start. She roped and tied the first one in 1 minute and 45 seconds. She cut that time down to 1 minute and 11 seconds with her second steer and she dropped her third one in the remark able time of 40 seconds. Her total time for the three was 3 min utes and 36 seconds which was sev eral seconds faster than her nearest cowboy competitor. So they hailed the slight girl (she weighed less than 100 pounds) “Queen of the Range” and awarded her the championship gold medal valued at $1,000. Just to prove that her victory at Fort Worth was no fluke, she en tered a steer-roping contest at Mc- Alester, Okla., in 1903 and roped and tied three steers in 30%, 40 and 40% seconds. From that time on Lucille Mulhall was the sensation of every contest which she entered and her room in the Mul hall ranch house was filled with her trophies. She was the star of the Wild West show which Colo nel Mulhall or ganized and took to the world’s fair in St. Louis in 1904. When it showed in Madi- Zach Mulhall son Square Garden in New York city the next year, the Eastern pa pers and magazines waxed lyrical over her and printed pages about the “Best Horsewoman in America.” A ‘Trail Boss.’ Another of her feats for which she became famous came about in this way: Colonel Mulhall had bought a herd of 700 steers down in the Texas Panhandle but was too busy to go down there and drive them back to his ranch. So Lucille Mul hall proposed that she and her sis ter, Mildred, take on the job. They took a few cowboys with them but Lucille was the “boss of the outfit” and under her direction the 700 steers were driven over the 300- mile trail through bad weather with out suffering the loss of a single steer. • • • When they buried her in the fam ily plot on the Mulhall ranch an old-timer was heard to remark: “Cowgirls and cowboys might live longer if they stuck to horses.” Per haps he was thinking of the fact that Tom Mix, who had once worked on the Mulhall ranch, had been killed in an automobile accident in Arizona a few months earlier and that Will Rogers, who had also been a Mulhall ranch cowboy and a rider and roper in Colonel Zach’s Wild West show, had lost his life in an airplane accident in Alaska.
