Tricolor Hues
For Summer
Are Prominent
Hurrah for the colors! Summer's
array surpasses the rainbow. The
two big headers are pastels and the
tricolor combination of our flag, the
good o1' red, white and blue.
Besides these leaders several other
odd, but lovely colors will be dotting
the streets and campuses as summer
swings in unusually early this year.
Colors are half the battle this sea-
son in keeping us military minded and
at the same time gay.
Dresses with hats and even shoes
to match will be shown in eggshell
(a new off-white), sand-d or toast
(beiges), and light green under such
descriptive, catchy names as sea,
apple, or water green. Aspen .blue
and ciel blue, pink, wood violet, and
aqua( which will be used with nearly
every color,) wind up the soft hues.
Chalk white combined with slighter
touches of red and navy blue will keep
the eternal triangle of spring in top
position for summer fashion. Among
summer's host of colors the browns
under the names of cocoa, moccasin,
and burnt wheat will be prevalent.
These shades will be used in dresses,
but are to be especially popular for
accessories.
Many colors will be used together
through the use of plaids and bright{
prints to portgty a gay summer pic-
ture.

Bright Platform Soles
Highlight Dark Dress
For Evening Wear
Evening slippers are featuring plat-
form soles again, in bright and lus-
trous colors, or in gay and daring
prints.
Wear with a black dinner dress a
sandal with a high platform sole, in
gold and silver kid, or in satin with
gold kid. Studded platforms flash on
the dancefloor.
Transparent heels and toes are del-
icate and diminutive for evening;
some slippers have no slipper at all
between the heel and the toe, mere-
ly a strap along the side of the foot.
These are recommended for health
and foot exercise.
Paisley evening slippers are stun-
ning with dark solid-color dresses.
Evening bags to match should be car-
ried with the ensemble. The same
tones can be carried out in the cos-
tume jewelry which is so popular.

Sure-Fire Stripes

Are

Latest Formal Highlights

S
Ly

By FRANCES GOLDBERG
Fashion decrees only one law for
her disciples this year: you must look
charming and comfortable. Otherwise
individuality is to reign in the king-
dom of fashion, and almost all laws
are broken by those who desire to be
just one of a kind in the court of
summer formals.
Dramatic effect can easily be
gained in this summer's formals, for
gowns are no longer limp and mildly
sweet; they are bold in color and de-
sign.
Cotton come to the front lines of
fashion and stands up well under the
artillery fire of hot summer evenings
and strong breezes. White pique is,
cheered for its crisp pertness and
practicality. It has a really feastive
look when a bit of Irish lace is added
to its shirtwaist lines, or black velvet
ribbon is cleverly drawn through its
simple bodice.
Cottors Po Floral
Though cottons are cool and dazz-
ling in white, many cotton gowns. es-
pecially the waffle piques, now shown
are riotous with their huge splashy
floral prints, plaids. or checks in
brilliant reds, greens, blues and yel-
lows. Cottons are effectively com-
bined with more fragile materials like
silk and jersey to create the more so-
phisticated dresses. An unusual dress
is that combining a full red and white
cotton skirt with a molded silk jer-
sey bodice and low throat line; a
huge lei of the skirt material fallsl
to the waist.I
For sheer sophistication and yet
a flavor of quaint demureness women
will like the dress of bouffant white
organdy sprinkled with black candle-
dick tufts and draped bodice of black
crepe. The sleeves come a bit below
the elbow and are graced by a ruching
of white the organdy.
. Some gowns leave off the feminine
frills and fur-belows, and have taken
up slim skirts and oriental motifs like
a symbolic embroidered Chinese drag-
on or some mysterious Chinese al-
phabet to decorate their tailored
lines.
Tango Dresses Are Here
Since the South American way has
come to stay, fashion designers have
especially created gowns appropriate
for the rhumba, tango, and conga.
These are the delicate white or pink
chiffons with broad bands of black
lace going around the skirt to give
it the air of an exotic senorita.
The Navy, too, has given inspira-

tion to dress designers. Many form-
als sport gold emblems of eagles and
stars, or they have adopted the sailor
collar and the Navy's colors and
stripes. Military influence has given
the full length wool, silk, or chiffon
capes their great importance. Many
dresses have these dramatic cape at-
tachments in shades that are bril-
liantly contrasted to the gown such
as orchid anda royal purple, or char-
treuse and purple.
With the more intense social in-
terest in the peasants of the Old
World, new fashion ideas have come
to birth. The peasant dress has been
glorified. The very vivid printed skirt
falls in folds from a low round necked
and long sleeved white blouse. To this
gypsy-like dress may be added a tight
laced jerkin. A variation of the pea-
sant dirndl dress is a white cotton
with narrow bands of embroidered
flowers winding around the dress, and
lacing in the bodice and sleeves.
Color Is The Thing
Decollete dresses have not been
censored, but they seem to be aban-
doned for the more covered up styles
which gain their appeal from their
nice fabric and gay color. Nets and
the more filmy materials have lost
their place to cottons, shantungs, silk
jersey, and cotton laces; fussiness has
given way to clean cut tailored lines
or simple embroidery.
Summer tans are teasingly given
real exposure in the bright jersey
prints that are all covered up save
for a bare midriff. Many of the sum-
mer cottons have brief Jackets which
element the necessity for wraps.

Da rk Linen Dresses
Are Cool And Trim
Practical for right now and for
that late-summer season when light
colors looked washed out and heavy
dresses are uncomfortable are thel
dark linen models, cool and trim.
A two-piece linen suit in chocolate
brown with a small white figure in.
the material is as smart with brown
and white spectators as it is with
darker shoes in late August. Of un-
crushable linen, the jacket is long and
fitted, with twelve tiny buttons run-
ning assumably down below the hip-
line.
The skirt, pleated all around, zips
into perfect taileur, and can be worn
with separate sweaters or blouses. A
suit of this type is an all-day joy,
to be worn with low heels or high, ac-
cording to the occasion.
