SEASON’S DRESS MODE TREND IS TOWARD ORIGINALITY

Styles Cut to Enhance Individual BY JEAN PATOU PARIS, July 9.—The afternoon mode acquires much of its character from a number of details of cut and trimming, all of which are enhanced when a woman lends them her own particular individuality. After the altogether too simple afternoon styles of late years, even those as recent as last summer, I believe the models I am showing this year offer an even greater fantasy in respect to details of cut as well as of trimming. Asa matter of fact, if one wished to draw a conclusion from these various characteristics, it inevitably would be that we are evolving, slowly but surely, toward an originality in dress we almost had forgotten, and in regard to which women were not very favorably disposed. This season’s modes are, I think, a step in the right direction. Charm in Afternoon Dress All the same, while women have protested loudly against any innovation in the general scheme of dress, few have been able to withstand the charm of formal afternoon clothes. The result is that today they have accepted and are wearing dresses which only last season they would have dismissed as altogether too eccentric. What is more, they now reluctantly admit that never was there such a charming, delightful and becoming mode when properly worn. Each detail of the present afternoon styles proves, by its very diversity, how great is the fantasy which presides at its creation. Take sleeves, for example. Sleeves Not Required No longer are they subjected to a rigid rule and, although the theme may appear somewhat undecided at times, they prove the suppleness of interpretation of modem fashions as applied to form, length and trinjmlng. A formal afternoon frock may be sleeveless or, on the other hand, the length may depend entirely on the personality of the wearer. Length of sleeve is neither hampered nor bound by any set rule. - You may have noticed, however, that although women seem to favor the short or sleeveless mode, this is almost invariably and completely offset by the longer length of glove, leaving little of the bare arm showing. Generally speaking, though, if a frock is sleeveless it usually is accompanied by a coat or jacket which which may have sleeves or else a short cape movement concealing the top of the arms. Variations Wide Lingerie accessories never have been so daintily feminine nor so varied of aspect as this season. They represent r.n important detail rather than an accessory of the afternoon frock. Other points that matter are necklines and belts. Length of skirt is a matter of personality and figure. One remarkable feature of the latest afternoon styles is that although their outstanding characteristics are delightfully fanciful and infinitely varied, they nevertheless retain a distinguished air and look unmistakably “lady-like.” This, in my opinion, is the principal attraction of the new formal afternoon mode, and one of paramount importance in regard to any trend of fashion.

“YTOU are all,” said the speaker X at. the high school graduation, “cogs in a vast machine. To do your duty, you must realize that unless you are faithful to your trust, unless you do your work willingly and well, the entire gigantic structure may be wrecked.” What a pitiful picture of life this speech offers to the boy who contemplates existence in a world that must seem to him beckoning with allure. Being a cog sounds the dullest of enterprises. Yet, over and over, this ideal of life is offered, not only to youth, but to adults, and is held up as the highest duty of theindividual. Perhaps this is one reason why our governmental structure seems often to be disintegrating. It is beyond reason that intelligent individuals should be content to anticipate a life in which their utmost in endeavor would be to represent and perform the functions of a cog, grinding, grinding and lost in a contraption without spirit or soul. a a a THE performance of a cog may be essential to the duration of a machine, but it can not help but be a monotonous and rather unpleasant existence, when viewed from the standpoint of the sane mortal. For that reason it is a poor sort of ambition to offer even to high school graduates. Yet throughout the extent of the land, our best conception of education seems to be this paltry one—that every little cog should do his duty. Learning, as a means to a better way of living, has been submerged entirely in its use as a means of material success. To Americans education means business. Yet surely we must desire something for our children more inspirational than a cog’s life. We must hope for them a sight of the stars now and then. We must dream that with their hands and their brains they will create more beauty for the earth. Better that the machine should perish than that individuals should be content to remain cogs and nothing more. Bonne Amie Club Meets Bonne Amie Club met this afternoon with Mrs. Carl R. Fox, 51< >lcfth Denny, street.

WHAT’S IN FASHION?

NEW YORK, July 9.—ls you’ve been noticing the so-called modern furniture lately, you must have seen how it has changed from those first bizarre pieces that so shocked established furniture traditions a few years ago. And doubtlessly you’ve said to yourself, as thousands of other fash-ion-knowning people have said — ‘‘Why, that’s good looking! And how practicall I think I could use some of that in my home.” Os course you could. There isn’t any home that can’t use at least one or two pieces of the new modem furniture to advantage, no matter what its present decorative scheme. To be sure, modern furniture looks very different from the Early American, the Queen Anne or the Jacobean you find in so many fashionable homes. Provide Contrast It’s characterized by extreme simplicity of line. And for this reason a piece or two can be put with any other kind of furniture without clashing. Asa matter of fact, the very difference in its design makes just that contrast note that puts interest into a room and saves it from becoming monotonous. Some of the first modern furniture was comfortable and useful. These new pieces are even more so. Built for Comfort Sofas and chairs are designed with ease as their first thought. You’ll find them built at the right comfortable height from the floor, with their backs at the right comfortable angle, their upholsteries inviting to rest. Modern cabinets are definitely designed to hold things—and lots of things. And combination pieces that take up little room but serve more than one purpose are some of the best ways of introducing modern into your home—especially if your home is one where space is at a premium. For instance. There are very simple tables that are bridge table size, large enough for four to play

Modern table with storage space or serve dinner on. But this convenient size table also serves as a table for the lamp and magazine beside the easy chair. Revolving Shelves There’s a lower round table, drum shaped, that also holds a lamp and books. Inside, made to revolve before an opening, are shelves of all sizes where books, magazines, glassware and other objects can be stored. The table shown here has storage space, too, though in this piece it’s open instead of concealed. Combination magazine racks and smoking stands—book tables and

telephone stands with the phone hidden inside —are another modern idea. Another end table pictured is not only a table —it has space for magazines and books as well. The other sketch shows three simple modern pieces that make a fine piece of wall furniture. One section is a desk, the center one a bookcase and the third a radio cabinet. These can be used separately as they are merely fitted, not built together. Or two sections of bookcases can be place dtogether. Much of the decorative interest in this modern furniture comes from the unusual woods used. Grained woods are favorites, worked so every bit of the beauty of the grain is brought out. Crotch mahogany and thuya are two of the loveliest. Hare wood is another in a soft gray tone. (CoDvrlsrht. 1931. by Amos Parrish) Next: Fashions in sports coats are reported by Amos Parrish.
