JACKET ENSEMBLE WILL BE SMARTEST DAYTIME OUTFIT

Accessories to Provide Gay Touch BY ROSETTE HARGROVE NEA Service Writer PARIS, April 17.—The jacket ensemble certainly is going to be the smartest and at the same time most practical daytime outfit this spring. The forms in which it has been presented by the leading couturiers of Paris are legion, so. that the risk of monotony will be nonexistent, but all women with a claim to dressing well are including at least one of these ensembles in their spring wardrobes. In spite of the couturiers’ efforts to induce women to abandon sobercolored clothes for town wear, the idea has been gently but definitely set aside. There will be much vivid coloring at beach and country resorts, but so far as city wear is concerned, the well-dressed woman knows that discretion, after all, is synonymous of good taste, and bright colors, however, are apt to be a little too conspicuous. For early spring wear, therefore, we shall see still the same amount o t black, brown, navy blue, grey and beige, and the gay touches will be supplied by accessories, blouses and hats. Contrasting Colors The jacket ensemble can be of the type that comprises a dress and epat or else the skirt and coat worn with a blouse. Jackets of a contrasting sha£e, either light or dark, Will be very smart, but the light jacket on the dark skirt is perhaps the better looking. The straight, jaunty Jacket vies in favor with the semi-fitted cutaway type and there are innumerable models that are belted. The severe, man-tailored tailleur will also be in fashion, provided it is impeccably cut. Skirts have just enough fullness to insure comfort and while some are pleated either front and back, leaving the sides perfectly plain, others have just godets or are cut Just slightly circular. They also are inclined to be a little shorter than last year. Blouses are a very important feature this season in the fashion scheme of things. A whole collection of contrasting blouses is necessary, because in a suit they impart the degree of formality, or not, as desired. The informal blouse tucks in under the skirt or just reaches the top, while the formal one is as long, and sometimes longer, than the Jacket. Sleeves Add Distinction Sleeves of both jackets and blouses also will have to be watched this season. Some jackets have almost elbow length sleeves and the blouse show's below. Short sleeves are seen on both formal and informal blouses, as well as on dresses, which these are used for a jacket ensemble. Washable collars, cuffs, belts and even lower sleeves will help to liven up street clothes, and cotton pique and organdie are faced with an era of unprecedented popularity. While white is always the Parisienne’s favorite, so far as relieving touches are concerned, pale pink, pale blue, green and yellow will be equally as smart and newer. Pique ■waistcoats, sleeveless, will accompany many a strictly tailored suit, and pique flowers will adorn buttonholes. If a jacket ensemble Is preferred for smart afternoon functions, Paris has a wealth of ideas to offer along this line. Chanel has a number of wool suits trimmed with eyelet embroidery at the hem of the 6kirt, jacket and cuffs. Fagotting and hemstitching trim many of the daytime ensembles that will be worn by the world’s most fashionable women and this work is usually enhanced by a light blouse or dress top that shows through the openwork of the coat. Although very inconspicuous, these trimming details impart a great deal of chic to an outfit. SORORITY TO HOLD INITIATION SERVICE Informal initiation services for Misses Rosemary Shay and Mildred Rhoe will be held by Alpha chapter, Theta Sigma Delta sorority following the business meeting at 8 Monday night at the Spink-Arms. A dinner in honor of the new members will be held Wednesday night at the home of Miss Katharine Moore, 44 South Denny street. Entertainment will be provided by Miss Peggy Oran.

Just Every Day Sense

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

IT’S been a long, hard struggle, sisters, but victory is ours at last. The Methodist Episcopal church has announced that in 1934 it probably will grant women the right to be ordained. Few will mount the pulpit, I feel sure, but it's something to know that you could if you felt the urge. The history of the Christian churches has been one long record of the stubbornness of men. Reluctantly and with deadly slowness they have relinquished their pi’ejudices, and that instilled by religion is the last to go. In the first place the early Christian fathers did not take their attitude toward women from Jesus Christ, who preached the gospel of real equality—that of morals. They did not get it from the Jews, who gave much honor to their women. They took it from St. Paul, who himself delved back into the barbaric ages and dug up a lot of superstitions about the malignant influence of the female. Christians, therefore, never yet have practiced the doctrine of real equality for women. They have gone to the ridiculous extreme of worshiping us as angels or cursing us as devils. a a tt YOU can’t blame yesterday’s men for that sort of attitude exactly, because they were all brought up to believe that God meant men to preach and women to cook for the preachers. And, if we count by centuries, it was not until recently that the desire for church equality occurred to women. Between the years of 1875 and 1841, Anna Howard Shaw made a gallant struggle for such rights. And it is amazing and incredible the gibes and jeers that greeted her demands. The remarks by political and religious leaders of that day are unbelievable. So here’s to the men! They’re coming along. Some day they'll be big enough to leave God out of this question. When they do, woman not only will be the equal of man, but man himself will be cast in a diviner mold. \

What’s in Fashion?

Discreetly Trimmed Shoes Directed By AMOS PARRISH

NEW YORK, April 17. Are fashionable shoes plain or trimmed. But—and this is an important but —they’re trimmed so subtly and discreetly that often, when you first look at them, you think they’re not trimmed at all. And how does this happen? Well —let’s lok at some fashionable shoe types and the way they’re trimmed. Here's one. It’s a walking pump with a comfortable built-up leather heel. It's trimmed with perforations. Under the perforations is an underlay of contrasting leather.

Walking Pump

Notice how the perforations are put on. Not in wild, crazy designs, but following the natural lines of the shoe. Around the top. Outlining the tip and quarters. Dressier Fump This next is a dressier pump The trimming is a narrow band of contrasting leather around the top and across the side and an applique of a simulated bow loop. Neat, isn’t it? Not a bit conspicuous, yet definitely a trimmed, dressy shoe. Now let’s examine some oxfords-. You’re going to see lots of oxfords w'orn with suits this season. The first one obviously is a walking oxford. And, like the walking pump, its trimming consists of perforations and underlay.

Dressjr Pump

And they follow the natural lines of the shoe, just as did the perforations in the pump. But here’s a more formal oxford. One that looks well with most any kind of daytime costume. It’s cut lower and ties with two pairs of eyelets instead of three or four, as the higher-cut walking oxford ties. Its only trimming is the narrow stripping of a contrasting leather in a blending tone. It’s applied right around the shoe, a little down from the top, to give a collar effect.

Walking Oxford

Next we’ve shown a walking shoe with a strap. You almost wouldn’t call that trimmed, would you? But it is. Its trimmed by combining two kinds of leather, onq in the tip and quarter and around the collar; the otherin the main body of the shoe.

And last is a step-in pump—almost like an opera, but cut a little higher in the front. How is it trimmed? With just a narrow piping of contrasting leather along the front quarter and a neat, small bow that's piped the same way. Now that we've looked at these six fashionable shoes, what do we find about trimming? Several things.

• : .; _. ■ ’ : ' ;

Formal Oxford

1. That fashionable shoe trimmings follow the natural lines of the shoe, instead of making crazy patterns all over it. They outline

the tip, quarters or upper edge of the shoe. 2. That fashionable shoe trimmings include perforations, narrow strappings and pipings, appliques, combinations of contrasting leathers, bows and buckles. 3. That when two different colors are combined they are colors that blend harmoniously instead of contrasting sharply.

Step-in Pump

4. And above all that these trimmings are simple, discreet and not at all conspicuous when fashionably used.
