SOUTHAMPTON AGAIN IS REVEALING LATEST IN FASHIONS

Everything Is Right Up to \Minute ' BY BETSY BCHIYiER NEA Service Writer! SOUTHAMPTON, L. I.,fjuly 8 jwnys a comfortable, casual, enjoyable resort, Southampton has added charm this summer in the perfectly lovely clothes everybody Is wearing. Southampton just never was so dressy as it is this Reason! For the favored all-white costume, Mrs. William M. Duryea, the lormer Marjorie Simonds, wore the sweetest little hand-made white crepe while lunching with her husband and others on the attractive Beach Club dining room that looks out over the water. Her costume was a sleeveless frock and long-sleeved jacket, with self-tucks running diagonally for the body of the frock, and the front, back and cuffs of the coat. The neck, cuffs and skirt hem were finished in points. New Beach Costume Newer than pajamas for beach tvear at Southampton is the wraparound skirt and bolero jacket ensemble that slips on over the bathing suit. Mrs. Fenton Taylor, stepping out pf the handsome pool at the club, Slipped a white crash suit, heavily embroidered in black wool, over her black bathing suit. After the morning dip is over, Jf you aren’t off for tennis, golf t>r sailing, it’s the thing to don ftuite pretty togs for lunch, cards tor gossip. Audrey Jaeckel looked lovely one Clay in a pale blue frock with rich embroidery edging the circular cape bertha. It had double ruffles outlining the low hip-line, and with it she (Wore a halo hat of rough straw with Jome posies in front. Picking Plainest Suita Backless bathing suits are seen Everywhere, but not the brassiere 6nd panties type you see on bathing eauties and ads. It is amazing bow the best swimmers pick the fdainest suits for their active paricipation. Mrs. Robert L. Stevens has a cute ltohite monogram on her black suit nnd slips a white terry cloth long fcoat with standing collar on when phe emerges dripping. Many Southamptonites lent their presence to Mrs. Payne Whitney’s annual milk fund fair at Greentree, at Manhasset. They might have drawn straws to see who would wear gay printed frocks and who would stick to all-white, so evenly Were these two styles divided. Polka Dots Popular Mrs. Dodge Sloan accomplished a most effective compromise in her white frock with its cool navy blue and white polka-dotted cowl neckline and short-sleeved jacket. Others who used touches of polkadots on white costumes included Mrs. James Russell Lowell, who chose brown and white, and Mrs. Thomas M. Bancroft, who sponsored red and white. Both used the print only on the collar, the former for a half-collar that tucked into a revers of white, the latter for a scarf that wove in and out around a square neckline. Os course, it always is the children you notice most at this annual event of Mrs. Whitney’s. Nancy’s a ‘Riot’ Nothing could be cuter than little Nancy Whitney driving Ijer goat cart dressed in a beautiful little white batiste frock tied on the shoulders in bows and topped by a brimmed hat of the batiste, all frilled around the edge. Tailored in a masculine fashion was the crisp white linen suit worn by little Master Michael Forrestal, guardian for a time of the nice old piule “Old Brick.” Mrs. Van Devanter Crisp’s wee daughter, Lucetta, almost carried along by the huge balloon she held aloft, wore a white frock, with tiny aleeves, round yoke and bands of two-inch lace insertions running through the skirt. Her bonnet was made to match, tritli a cute poke kind of trim. They're Still Reducing All the talk about curves coming into fashion again doesn't peem to give smart women much respite from their ever-present reducing. Jane Cowl, resting at her Long Island place before a trip to Holly - wod. breakfasts on grilled tomatoes before taking her morning hour of bicycling. Bicycles, in fact, are growing In popularity as a nice way of getting exercise in a nice, oid-fash-loned, charming manner. To date there seems to be no unanimity in bicycle costume, with women wearing pajamas, shorts and bathing putts or whatever they choose. Miss Cain Hostess Miss Kathleen Cain, 4108 East Michigan street, will be hostess to the meeting of the Delta Tau soTity at her home tonight. Rush Party Slated lota Xi Omega sorority will hold B rush party tonight at the home of Miss Mary Rick on Brookside parkway.

Hoover Drive Is Started by Woman s Group

Directing her remarks against the prohibition repeal “agitation,” Mrs. Louis J. Brooks, St. Louis, national organization director for Daughters of the American Constitution, opened the “Hoover for President" drive in Indiana at the opening luncheon and organization meeting today at the Columbia Club of Daughters of the American Constitution. Mrs. Brooks decried the “smear Hoover” propaganda campaign, attacking the chief executive of the nation with falsehoods and inuendoes, saying that such a thing was possible only in a nation of warped and dwarfed moral consciences. The members of the organization will pledge their support to Hoover, to uphold the courts and suppress crime. “We recognize today we are facing grave times, and no small groups can individually meet these issues,” Mrs. Brooks said. “We believe the great mass of God-fearing, law-abid-ing men and women of America stand firmly behind President Hoover in his stand against prohibition repeal, and with them, we pledge our loyal support.” Commending Hoover on his wise handling of farm relief with the revolving fund; public building and public work program as an aid to industry; treaty limiting naval armaments and aid to draught sufferers, Mrs. Brooks said that his debt moratorium proposal would mark him as one Os America’s greatest Presidents. Lace Curtains Popular Lace curtains of the bobinette and point d’esprit varieties are growing more popular every day. They’re used ruffled or tailored and seem to go with any kind of room you have — the formal eighteenth century or the informal Early American.

Just Every Day Sense

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

THAT men really are the only competent housekeepers is the contention of Gretta Palmer of the New York World-Tele-gram. She asserts that bachelor apartments always are excellently run and that men use system and sense in regulation of their homes. This may all be true, but it bodes no good for the men, notwithstanding. For no woman wants a husband who is a better housekeeper than herself. The men who are loved most are those who fling things to the four winds and who have a supreme disregard for neatness. The more careless and messy a husband is around the home, the more surely will his wife adore him. She will regard him as incompetent and childish, but as the dearest creature alive. She honestly believes, too. that he never could manage without her. We delight in this lack of orderliness in the male. When we come home and find things in a frightful state, we epostulate and scold, but actually it fills our souls with happiness. B B B TAKE it from me, it will be a sad day for the men when they begin the cultivation of the housekeeping arts. They have bitter opponents in this field and best would get their laurels from other sources. It’s little enough we have to feel superior about, we poor women. We have grown used to the fact that men are smarter and stronger and more capable and ingenious than ourselves. We know that all the great thinkers and geniuses were men. But not without a struggle will we abandon the housekeeping palm. I have little doubt that if the male set his giant intellect to it he would only have to flit through the house and the work would be excellently and splendidly done. But I beg him for his otfn sake to forego this experiment. Leave us something in which to excel, gentlemen, I pray you,

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

boulevards throughout the country, you’ll quickly see how lots of welldressed women are solving this problem. By wearing georgette dresses in dark or bright colors. Dresses of navy blue, black or dark brown. And printed georgettes in these same colors, but bright red or green, or bright blue, too. With long sleeves, or with short sleeves covered by a long sleeved jacket of the same material. Georgette Smart Again These comfortably, appropriately dressed women are right in fashion. Because georgette, out of fashion for a while, is back in fashion again this season. But even though many of the colors are dark, these fashionable costumes aren’t too somber for this colorful summer. For two re a* sons. (1) There’s plenty of color in the prints—bright color on a dark background, or lots of white on dark or bright grounds, and (2) when they are plain dark colors, contrast is made by the color of accessories. For instance—look at the sketch of the plain navy georgette dress here. That scarf that looks like a sling—(it’s called the “sling-scarf” and was designed by Mme. Schiaparelli, the Paris dressmaker)—is of white georgette. Contrast Essential The whits scarf gives you color contrast. But you can do even more by wearing a red belt, red flower and carrying a red handbag. The same color combination could be used if the dress were black. If it were dark brown, beige or yellow could be used in the accessories. And, of course, these same color ideas can be carried out in any of the many good fashions in dark georgette street dresses. White in Prints When you look at dark prints you’ll find most of them have quite a bit of white in the design. And some lighter color, too, on the dark background. This white or color gives you the cue for your accessories color, though naturally a printed dress doesn’t need quite as much color in its accessories as a plain one. With the jacket dress shown at the left, for example, a necklace or a couple of bracelets in bright color would be about enough. Why? Because the print pattern and the white frill around the neck give almost enough contrast to the dark background. Combinations Brown and white, bright green and white, navy and white, brown and beige—these would all be good color combinations for a street costume of this sort. And the red and white

Clubs Fight for Women in Business By United Press RICHMOND, Va., July B.—A thorough study of alleged existing discriminations against women in the business world has been recommended to the annual convention here of the National Federation of Business and Professional Women s Clubs. The situation was discussed in a report by Martha Connolle, East St. Louis, 111., legislative chairman of the organization. Miss Connolle declared there was concerted action to do away with women, although “the unemployment crisis is no sound reason but is offered as an excuse for greater discrimination against women than existed before.” “An employer.” she said, “finds It easier to discharge a woman employe because of less likelihood of a demonstration against him.” One reason for failure of women to advance as quickly as men in business is because women permit the job “to weigh them down,” Catherine Oglesby, New York beauty expert, told the personal grooming class of the convention. Women have inherited a tendency for martrydom and try to see how much they can do, she asserted, while the men try to see how much can be dope for them. The end of each day finds the men ready to meet people, while the women are tired out, she said. Clothes, people, travel, vacation and hobbies she specified as means to ward off staleness in one’s work. Miss Johnson Is Speaker at Zonta Meeting Miss Eunice Johnson, director of training at L. S. Ayres & Cos., spoke Tuesday at the luncheon meeting of the Zonta Club at the Columbia Club, on "The Ideals of a Department Store.” Her subject dealt with the training of employes in the ideals of service to Mrs. Indianapolis. Miss Mrytle B. Munson, formerly of Jackson, Mich., and new manager of entertainment department at W. K. Stewart & Cos., was a guest of the club. Miss Sue Stuart, former president, is spending her vacation in Bermuda.
