Never in the history of fashion have prints been put to such different and fascinating uses. Anything and everything that can be made of printed fabric is being made. Per haps the biggest splurge prints are making at present is their teaming up with monotone wools. This companioning of print with plain is dramatically interpreted throughout all costume design but most notably in jacket suits, red- ingote ensembles and in capes. While splashy huge-patterned prints play an important role in formal evening apparel and play clothes, neat, small prints are featured in sm^rt daytime ensembles. However, whet these prints of tiny motifs and checks lack in size is made up in color. For instance; the latest fashion is to top red prints of neat design with red wool coats, jackets or capes—a fashion that is being used to a great extent in teen age frocks. Red prints are the rage this sea son. Made up in dresses, they are variously teamed with black, navy, or as mentioned above, red. This trend is illustrated in the model shown to the right in the photograph. This dress featured by the Style Cre ators of Chicago in a recent display, is topped by a flower print red crepe with a thin black wool jacket, tailored to perfection. The pleated skirt and the hat that repeats the print of the dress are smart ac cents. The youthful cape coat in dark wool, centered in the group, is made outstanding by the introduction of a silk print lining in the newly im portant fine check print, repeating the silk print check of the slim, pleated dress with which it is worn. A youthful interpretation of the print with plain vogue is pictured to the left. This ingenue dress is of delft blue and white print crepe. The jacket, wearable over other things, is of blue rabbit’s hair. Note that the sleeves are short, in keeping with the girlishness of the ensemble. There is a cunning little handker chief of the print. This is one of those casual, intriguingly styled dress-plus-jacket outfits that is so universally likeable for general wear. There is a new use of prints this season that is challenging the cre ative genius of designers. It is the idea of trimming with gay prints. You will see it .carried out in pipings, bindings, appliques of print motifs, also bow trims of print bands. There is, for example, the dress with pleated skirt that is topped with a monotone jacket that is bound with an inch bordering of print, or possibly a mere binding— just enough to relate it to the dress with which it is worn. Another way of arriving at a “touch of print” for your costume is to have a hat and bag of print that will enliven mono tone dresses and coats to the nth degree. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Plaid Accents felili Iplllfl liiiii Here’s how to add a note of gaiety to a navy suit that boasts an ex treme mannish cut. Wear a plaid taffeta hat and carry matching ac cessories! Choose a wide-brimmed hat of plaid taffeta in red and soft blues. Over your shoulder, sling a matching pouch bag. Climax the plaid program with a handkerchief of matching plaid. It is the better part of wisdom to buy a simple one- color suit or coat, than depend on ac cessories to give it eye-dazzling chic. Hair Styles Reveal New Flower Motifs A new vogue that probably will spread like wildfire is a cluster of flowers worn at each side of th^ head, balanced symmetrically. The flowers are caught to a ribbon band or to one of the new hairbands that fit to the head. Roses Take Spotlight In Many Fabric Designs It’s rosetime in fashionland. The most featured flower in fabric de sign, in hat trimmings and in smart corsages is the rose. It is going to be a particularly “rosy” summer in cottons, because cottons this year are reminiscent of weaves that were favorites in the early 1900s. You will find roses blooming on waffle piques, on un bleached muslins, in mezzotint, on glazed chintz and on lawns and per cales. For party frocks, the newest ma terials are hand-painted sheers. A huge American Beauty rose, one painted on the bodice, one on the skirt, enhances the beauty of these sheers. Don’t overlook the cunning little sailor hats that are made to wear with the new tailored suits or cape costumes. You will be charmed with single rose trim that mounts right from the very front of the crown. The latest evening corsage is a single long-stem rose. Cotton Fabrics Essential To Wardrobes, Supplies A surplus commodity without which homemakers would be lost is cotton. There are probably more cotton fabrics suited for more varied uses than fabrics made from any other fiber or combination of fibers. Cot tons make up into at least 30 dif ferent fabrics suitable for dresses for women, girls and infants. Without cotton, sheets, pillow cases, ticking and linings of comfort ers, curtains, draperies, upholstery materials, bath towels, hand towels and dish towels would disappear.

WNU Service United reitans Eleanor Roosevelt Rural Electrification I have been doing so many things the last few days, that I keep re membering happenings which I for got to tell you. One recent afternoon, in Washing ton, there was a meeting of the workers, in the rural electrification . program from all over the country. I had the pleasure of being with them for a few minutes and I mention it here because, from the beginning, this program has seemed to me to be of such general importance to the rural people of our nation. Every time electricity is taken to some remote spot, it brings new opportunity to the farmer to lighten his labors. It allows him to accom plish more and, therefore, increases his buying power. To the woman of the house it brings relief from back-breaking toil, a better standard in home life, more time to spend with the chil dren, and less weariness at the end of the day. The men and women working in this program are funda mentally changing our life for the better. ‘COVERING GROUND’ It seems as though I were cover ing a good deal of ground these days. One day I had the pleasure of meeting for a few minutes Mr. Darrell Brown, the young artist who won a prize offered by Mr. Isaac Liberman, president of Arnold Con stable company, for painting a por trait of me in the dress I wore on Inauguration night. I thought I had never seen him and, since I am not particularly interested in portraits myself, I think I must have seemed a rather unsatisfactory subject. This, however, is a portrait of the dress. I was interested to learn that I had met Mr. Brown some years ago in Iowa, and was glad to be able to show him the Lincoln por trait in the State dining room, which he liked as much as we do. We had a number of friends with us for lunch in the afternoon. I re ceived Senora Najera, wife of the Mexican ambassador, and Senora Avila Camacho, whose husband is brother of the president of Mexico. After that, I received the high school senior class from Staatsburgh, N. Y. which is the village next to Hyde Park. They have been very fortu nate in having such good weather and I am sure enjoyed their trip. The crowds in Washington are great. I do not remember seeing so much traffic. I am particularly glad that the cherry blossoms are out, so that no one who came hoping to see them will go away disap pointed. The White House has been filled to capacity with sight-seers during the visiting hours, and I am sure this is so with all the public build ings. Our own young people went out to Mt. Vernon one day and could not even get inside the house. SPRINGTIME Starting for a speaking engage ment in Charlotte, N. C., we arrived in Greensboro, N. C., on time. A plane sent over by the Charlotte News Publishing company, which was sponsoring my lecture, was waiting on the field. The College for Women at Greensboro had sent a few representatives to greet me with a box of flowers, and the local radio man was also there with a microphone so I could say a few words of greeting before starting on the other plane for Charlotte, x All this was done very rapidly, and then we climbed into the small er plane with a delightful young pi lot and reporter from the News, who acted as one of our hostesses during the day. We were soon look ing down on the fields and woods of North Carolina. It seemed more like summer than spring. The flowers were all out and the dogwood was in full bloom. Somehow or other, this “little” trip to southern California and then to North Carolina, seems to have robbed me of that first, feeling of spring creeping over the landscape. There was no sign of spring the last time I was in Hyde Park and suddenly, when I was back in Wash ington, everything was out—magno lias, forsythias, daffodils; every thing seemed in full bloom over night! Perhaps, when I get back to Hyde Park in early May, I shall get that first sense of life awakening again in the trees, fields and marshes. As we came through Virginia in the morning, one hillside seemed to me particularly beautiful. The leaves on the trees were pale green and a soft reddish brown. In be tween, some kind of white blossom glistened and the purple of the Judas tree was everywhere in sight. CURRENT READING In the past few days I have had so much time on planes and trains that I actually finished reading ev erything I took with me. I may have mentioned to you before “War By Revolution,” by a young English man, Francis Williams, who has been in politics for a number of years. I was much interested in it because I feel that his contention is correct, that really to win the fight against Hitlerism, the people in all the countries under Hitler’s control must want freedom and a better life brought by their own action. o' or TERNS p\G YOU take a large size—any- where between 36 and 52? Then this dress will simply delight you. It’s so becoming and suc cessful that two neckline styles are suggested in the pattern (No. 1333-B).

Name Address Early Glass The manufacture of crude glass by the using of sand and soda is supposed to have been accidentally discovered by the Egyptians some 4,000 years ago. Beads and amu lets of colored glass have been re covered from Egyptian tombs that were dug 6,000 years ago. Stained glass was first made in the Ninth century, and the earliest references to stained glass win dows were found in a document stating that Rheims cathedral was fitted with them some time be tween the years 969 and 988. It is thought that the Romans, who were experts in glass making, were the first to use glass in win dows. At Pompeii several exam ples dating back before A. D. 79 have been found. According.to Dr. Alexander Sil verman of the University of Pitts burgh, the United States manufac tures enough window and plate glass each day to make a ten-lane boulevard (roughly 80 feet) round the world.

It benefits the public by describing exactly the products that are offered. It benefits employees, because the advertiser must be more fair and just than the employer who has no obligation to the public. These benefits of advertising are quite apart from the obvious benefits which advertising confers—the lower prices, the higher quality, the better service that go with advertised goods and firms.
