Fancy shadow weaves, fascinat-
HERE'S no doubt about it, the
well-dressed woman of today
knows the value of clothes that will
go places and do things with the
same ease and aplomb as their
streamlined wearer. The up-and-
about wardrobe must contain frocks
and costumes that will adapt them-
selves with taste and comfort to
any number of changing scenes and
temperatures.
No matter what the season, there
is something about sheer wool that
does the trick. Tailored or dress-
maker in style, a sheer wool cos-
tume carries with it a classic at-
mosphere which keeps it never too
dressy for town or country, travel
ing or local activities. There is
ever that something about the
smart new light woolen ensembles,
dresses and coats that bespeak that
casual look of good taste that is
aristocratically at home at tea or
card party or any more or less so-
cial event of the day.
Wool knits, light as a feather and
luxuriously soft to the touch, make
charming and supremely correct
sports frocks. Whether you are an
agile golfer or simply a deck
lounger your wool knit costume will
give you a joyful feeling of freedom
to take your fun as you find it.
Both pastel and darker shades are
too smart for sports and clever de-
signs vary from one-piece classic
styles to two-piece and jacket cos-
tumes that may be ensembled
with a variety of blouses and acces-
sories. Zephyr knits, soft wool jer-
seys and fine featherweight angoras
are cool and comfortable, and lacy
weaves in lightweight wool
unusually interesting.
motifs are cleverly emphasized by
simple styling. Sheer monotones
and self-plaided weaves vie with
hard-twisted worsteds for first place
in the tailcred scene.
The adaptability of sheer wool
knits is well illustrated in the slim
short-sleeved frock shown to the left
in the picture. The material for
this dress is a featherweight an-
gora knit in pearl gray with distine-
tive two-toned bands in brown and
maize inserted in bolero effect in
the blouse and edging the sleeves
and skirt hem. The smart shirt-
waist closing below a rounded col-
larless neck is finished with a row
of composition buttons in maize. A
deep inverted pleat in the skirt
front gives plenty of action freedom.
As pictured to the right, close knit
wool jersey in chic navy blue makes
stunning and versatile frock for
sports or spectator wear. Cut on
flattering princess lines with a full
length front buttoned closing, it is
cool and practical. Sleeves are
full and short and neckline is high.
Men's tie silk in gay red, navy and
white tri-color patterning is inter-
esting trimming. Note how attrac-
large plastron pockets and the
round yoke treatment below a trim
tailored neck.
A stunning color combination dis-
s the beautifully tailored
and
weer wool centered in the group.

topped by a full length redingote in

IT’S HAND KNIT
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
Just imagine the joy, not to for-
get the comfort in wearing, any
little girl will find in owning such
a cule peasant hand knit dress as
this. When all other frocks in little
missy’s wardrobe fail, being too
this or that for a practical day,
there just isn't anything to equal
a dress knit of knit-cro-sheen, as
is the model pictured. Looks not
too dressy but is dressy enough,
washes perfectly and is pretty in
dork colors or in the charming
pastels as you may choose. Doesn't
take long at all to knit the cunning
mode! pictured and the yarn costs
very little. Note that it has no belt,
the dress falling in a graceful
princess line from the shoulders,
which makes it very stylish.
SHIRTMAKER FROCKS
Summer means shirtmaker
frocks, and this year's crop of shirt-
makers is smarter and more distin-
guished than ever.
good for most occasions in the sum-
mer scene, especially out-of-town.
New and diversified necklines bring
novelty to some of the models.
Smart is a shirtmaker frock with
a collarless neckline marked by
tucking. The tucks continue all the
closing.
The classic frock in striped silk
is always good, as is the model in
pure silk that tubs beautifully. A
grand model is in dotted silk and
has a fly front with enclosed zipper.
Decorative Zippers Now
Used in Variety of Ways
New jeweled zippers are now be-
ing shown in use on women’s wear,
for fastening sweaters, bathing
suits, gloves, hand bags and many
other purposes. The new zippers
are bound on colored tape and
spaced at frequent intervals with
various colored catalin ornaments
resembling novelty buttons. When
the zipper is closed the catalin orna-
ments take the place of buttons.
When opened the ornaments assem-
ble at the base of the zipper with
the effect of being in a continuous
piece.
Variety in Hats
Little pillbox hats that attain new
summer heights indicate that the
width of a chapeau is no more cer-
tain than the depth of its crown.
No Monotones
Three and four bright colors are
combined for tailored cotton suits,
as well as summer evening gowns.

HAT are the secret ambitions

Mickey Mouse had to make a living
delivering mail. He had no chance
to express his creative genius un-
til after the World war, when he
obtained a job as a commercial
artist in Kansas City. In his garage,
he experimented with animated
newsreels called "Local Happen-
ings.”" which he sold to Kansas City
moving picture theaters. He fol-
lowed these with a series of fairy
tales for local clubs and church
gatherings.
This modest success prompted
him to try Hollywood, where he
started in an unpretentious little
building far from the big studios.
There he created “Oswald, the
Rabbit.” but after making 26 sub
jects, he and his backer separated
The backer owned the rights to
“Oswald, the Rabbit” which is still
being shown in the theaters, and
Disney was left without his most
promising character, Out of this
adversity was born “Mickey
Mouse” and the “Silly Sympho-

rich father's company: a month in

then general manager. But consid-
er the discouragement and heart-
aches of the boy too poor for an
adequate education, too poor for
nourishing food or decent clothing,
too poor to meet people with influ-
ence. That such boys, possessing
only courage, ambition and brains,
can still rise in America is this
country’s strongest defense against
fascism and communism.

Firestone has
done it again! All you
have to do is to examine the amazing new
Firestone Ground Grip Tractor Tire and you
will quickly understand why it provides still
greater traction, greater drawbar pull, and makes
greater savings in time and fuel. The basic
Firestone patented Ground Grip tread design
has been retained, but the extra heavy bars of
rubber are spaced wider and built higher. The
tire cleans itself still better, providing much
greater traction.
Farmers everywhere are welcoming this new
tire, for tests show that tractors equipped with
it consume up to 50% less fuel, as compared
with tractors equipped with steel lugged wheels.
With this amazing new tire you get up to 30%
more available drawbar pull on dry sod — up
to 40% more on stubble — and up to 50% more
on wet plowed ground, than with any other
tire made.
Only Firestone can build all this extra traction
into a tractor tire because only Firestone has the
patented extra construction features of Gum.
Dipped cords which are stronger to resist the
strain of heavy pulling, and two extra layers of
Gum-Dipped cords under the tread which bind

the tread and cord body into one

specially compounded rubber which
resists the action of sun, rain, and snow.
