Prints Make Their Appearance
With Bright Floral Patterns
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
\\r ELCOME the new prints!
’ “ They are gay, they are lovely,
they are everything you want them
to be in the way of chic and refresh
ing novelty. It’s going to be a
most exciting time for prints from
now on. Not only are they putting
in a much earlier appearance than
usual, but they are strikingly novel
in both color and design.
Smartly in keeping with the vogue
for bright touches to add warmth
and color to the winter wardrobe,
charming rayon jkrints are appear
ing in such an out-of-the-ordinary
assortment that they set a new high
in zestful color and originality.
Speaking of the unusualness of
new print design, you’ll be thrilled
with the charm of the new lace
prints which fashion enthusiastical
ly features this season. They are
simply stunning! In some instances
the lace motifs are so strikingly
realistic it almost seems as if they
were appliqued to their background.
However, you will find it is really
artfully printed patterning. Many of
these lacy prints are combined with
gorgeous florals.
It is just such lavish lace designs
as pictured to the right in the fore
ground of the group illustrated that
are calling forth ohs and ahs from
print-seeking enthusiasts. Here the
patterning captures the delicate
tracery of lace paper doilies and the
color glory of chrysanthemums for
a striking print design on fine ace
tate rayon jersey. The styling of
this winsome midseason dress con
veys a message of soft draping and
a very important message it is,
too, for the newer silhouettes are
making a feature of slenderizing
drape technique.
An outstanding new treatment
found in the new prints is that of
•vide-spaced, brilliant florals that
contrast vividly against navy or
black grounds. Such designs as scat
tered rose or tulip prints vie for
popularity with extravagant mix
tures of many-colored exotic blooms.
See the stunning dress worn by the
figure seated on arm of chair, as
shown to the left in the picture.
The luxurious rayon crepe used
for this newest and smartest of aft
ernoon dresses glories in an ex
quisite flower and feather pattern
ing in many colors. This deftly
draped and molded-to-the-figure
frock is a typically last-minute crea
tion which answers the question of
what’s new for immediate wear.
Centered in the picture above is
a charming print design of immense
parma violets gives an exquisite
handpainted effect to the softly
draped flat rayon crepe that fash
ions this graceful, full-skirted frock.
Watch for these handpainted effects,
which are stunningly achieved with
multi-color bouquets or single flow
ers spaced widely over backgrounds
of fine rayon crepe in solid tones.
Be on the lookout, also, for the
new and fascinating feather prints.
Soft plume effects are being im
portantly featured; also graceful
palm fronds that look very tropical
when green widely-spaced ferns or
palms are printed on white grounds.
Other important prints that take you
into the realm of small, bright ef
fects carry interestingly diminutive
plumes, formalized medallions and
curlicues, or exotic paisley pattern,
ings.

Crocheted
To give the smart fillip to your
appearance you really should wear
a touch of crochet somewhere about
your costume, now that crochet has
grown to bp one of the most out
standing words in the present-day
fashion vocabulary. Why not cro
chet a beret as pictured above, the
original of which was shown in an
all-crochet fashion show recently
sponsored by the National Needle-
craft bureau.
For the smart beret here shown,
Wanda Kofler, a designer noted for
her artistry and skill in crochet, uses
two shades of pink mercerized cot
ton. Worn with a cerise colored
crepe afternoon dress, it makes a
smart ensemble for a luncheon or
bridge engagement.
Plastic Bags
Surprise and delight await those
who first see the new handbags made
of woven plastic thread. With the
possible shortage of other materials
plastics are definitely “in.”
‘Ballerina’ Dress
Delights the Young
As a compromise, here is an eve
ning dress that looks festive but not
too formal. It is a new type of
frock—the ballerina dress, which
has recently made its appearance
in the fashion picture.
As its name implies, this new
frock is full-skirted and ankle-
length. It really is a forerunner of
the short-length evening dress.
Young, pretty and so new is this
dainty dress. The prettiest of ma
terials go into its making. Lovely
prints yield beautifully to the bal
lerina silhouette. Perhaps most
charming of all are the ballerina
dresses made of lace. The bodices
that top the ballerina skirts are pur
posely styled with the utmost sim
plicity, have short sleeves, fit snug
ly and add to their lure with deep-
cut square or heart-shaped neck
lines.
A most significant sidelight on the
ballerina vogue is that the junior
and teen-age girls are so fascinat
ed with the idea they are adopting
the fashion for daytime dresses of
gay chintz and crisp cottons.
New Sweaters
Luxury-type sweaters are taking
on most dazzling details for evening
wear. It’s a good plan to have one
or two sweaters in reserve. They
play such a varied and helpful part
in either your afternoon or your
really “dress-up” wardrobe, with
short skirts or the long evening
skirts.
Lisle Mesh
Here’s your answer to the hosiery
problem! It’s smart lisle hose in
flattering mesh—perfect with your
daytime woolens and tweeds. Fa
vorite colors are cocobark, brown-
butter and honeycomb. If you pre
fer fine plain lisle without mesh, it
is now available in all leading stores
stores.
