Dame Fashion
Smiles
By Grace Jewett Austin
Quite often in the process of a week
Dame Fashion takes a bus ride, and
when she goes at
just the right hour
she watches al
ways at a certain
corner until a wee
little girl whom
she calls “Robin
Redbreast” gets
aboard. With her
small box of lunch-
eon, this little girl
is on her way to a

a pretty good fashion hint, « Can you
hear her when she says:
“I like to wear my gay red coat,
My red felt hat very light;

Print Dresses Welcome
in Every Good Wardrobe
Every well-assorted wardrobe should
contain at least three printed silk
dresses, In the opinion of Jane War-
ren Wells, New York fashion expert.
“And this is not ap extravagance”
ghe continues, 40 Farm and Fireside.
“To the contrary this quota of printed
silk dresses Is an Indication of econ
omy, for there is no material more
suited to the closely watched purse,
“In the first place printed silks are
so easily workable that the most
mediocre seamstress may make her
own frocks and save enough on two
to pay for the third,
material Is serviceable and good for
many occasions.”
This year, Miss Wells says, the vari-
ety of printed silks Is extremely large
and attractive, The predominating
colors are the shaded tones which
have become so popular. These are
hues Just “off” color and are some
times called “dusty” or “faded” tones.
They are extremely smart and have
the advantage of being becoming to
more individuals than the more de.
cided colors. Printed silk In these
tones this season are decorated with
small designs printed In allover,
rather indefinite patterns.
