Rally Speaker Is a Veteran
Of the B.E.F.
By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff: Writer WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.—Besides being the No. 1 army wife of England, Lady Dill, who is scheduled to speak in Indianapolis Friday, is herself a veteran of the ill-fated B.E F. As -a member of the mechanical motor corps, she was driving an ambulance with the 7th army of the British expeditionary force in France when capitulation came. It was some time after the British soldiers were rescued from the beach at Dunkirk that she was able to return to England. ~There :she -enrolled at once as a nurse's aid and spent a year caring for the wounded in a hospital at Folkstone. It is this experience that equips her to speak with feeling at such meetings as the patriotic rally in Indianapolis, which is jointly sponsored by the American Red Cross and OCD. In addition, of course, she is the wife of Sir John Dill, fleld marshal of the British Imperial forces. Lady Dill, wearing a British uniform, has been stationed at the British embassy here for the last 3 months. Red Cross headquarters reports that she is “a good speaker, a good soldier, a good nurse and .a good mother.” She has one daughter now in school. Dr. Albert McCown, an A. E. F. veteran of world war I and now serving with the Red Cross medical division, also will address the meet-

of colors, Miss McCardell has designed frocks with a feminine look minus fluffiness. Although they are made according to Limitations Order L-85 regulating fashions, they do not have the skimped look one might éxpect. In designing a dress, Miss McCardell considers fabric first and ex-| periments with ideas suitable to her medium. Most of the dresses are soft wool jerseys. However, some are of rayon velvet and casual American tweeds hand-loomed in Kentucky. Suits with calico linings and cotton shirts defy the shortage of the formerly used silks. As to colors, Miss McCardell effectively employs the new ‘“butterfly” blue, purple and Chinese Ming and combines bright yellow with oxford black, dark brown with light blue and calico red with green. Calico red is one of jer favorite colors. Styling “Tricks” Swaggering hip pockets, fly fronts and skirts with full length unpressed vleats either in front or in back are among her clever styling tricks. ‘A number of the skirts are slightly gathered at the waistline
falling into: soft folds, dirndl style, creating a youthful effect. Definitely new are her “sissy” suits of rayon velvet—a reaction against the masculine type of suit. The short jackets, made with rippled Pierrot collar$, peplums and loose sleeves, are fastened with light blue buttons decorated by lions’ figures. The skirts have the full length pleats in front. In other suits Miss McCardell uses bold knit and jersey combinations and soft wools. One wool, a Chinese Ming color, is collarless and perfectly simple in line. It depends upon pockets with ‘draped tips and a deep unpressed pleat in back for its unusual silhouette.
Studied in Paris
Among attractive one-piece frocks in the collection is a rayon backed wool: jersey with a side swung neck, torso bodice and large hook and eye fasteners replacing the zipper. Another is made with an easy midriff and the popular slit pockets. ' In all costumes there is ‘perfection of line, color and fabric. Miss McCardell has been in the designing business for approximately 10 years. She attended a fashion school studying both in New York and Paris. Her clothes, however, always have been typically American and styled for. practicality and comfort.
