Etaoin Shrdlu—The Pied T per Dress

T By ‘LOUISE FLETCHER

Times Woman's Editor

THEY UNPACKED a dress down at Block's the

other day which might well be called “Five Star Final”-

or maybe even ‘The Front Page.” ‘Because the print from which it's made smacks of the newspaper world. Scattered at random all over the white crepe background are the words ETAOIN SHRDLU which are part and parcel of newspapering. ETAOIN SHRDLU is the pi line that a linotyper sets when he's made a mistake, or when some fact or part of the copy is missing. He makes these nonsense words by running his fin. gers down the two left hand banks on the linotype keyboard, » t J »

BECAUSE of the etaoin shrdlu boners that pi a paper (they do get in sometimes), the name is a favorite newspaper gag. The

" comic strip, Barnaby, has a pixy

called SHRDLU. The gremlins

..who haunt the type boxes are

Etaoin Shrdlus. It's even been claimed that in the pi line, ETAOIN SHRDLU, the letters in that sequence are the most frequently used in the English language. . » » THERE'S a story in how the words happened to get into a fabric print. Hope Skillman of the Skilimill Fabrios firm visited Richmond, Va., where she met

" Polly Daffron, newspaperwoman.

And Polly said, “I've : always wanted to do a special textile design. Now here’s my idea... 80 Miss Skillman produced the febric and Herbert Sondheim designed the frock that's now at

Block's. It is a super in the way

of dresses for resort wear. It has simple lines, cap sleeves, and a pulled up as a hood to shield hairdos ey vagrant breezes. And on the tab of the red leather belt is the final touch that makes it completely of the newspaper world. The letters applied to the vertical tab spel “EXTRA”

Hollywood Designers Come in: for Some Panning.

By JACK GAVER United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, April 5-—Style-conscious women would do very well in the matter of Americandesigned clothing if it were not for the heavy hand of the Hollywood designers, in’ the opinion of Virginia Burns of Kansas ony, Mo. She honestly thinks that the people who dream up the movie clothing must be kidding at times. I ran into Virginia making the rounds of some of the better dress firms locking for merchandise for her fashionable Kansas City shop which goes under the name of Cricket West, Seems she named it after the heroine of a Saturday Evening Post story. “American designers are pretty good on the whole,” she said, “but those in Hollywood are an exception, Take a good look at the styles in the next movie you see.” . Strictly Clothes Horse “The designers for the studios turn out stuff that is overdone and artificial; strictly clotheshorse articles. Now how can you expect that stuff to look good on the average woman? “The trouble is that the movies are so influential. Women see these gowns and whatnot on the screen, worn by Joan Crawford or Claudette Colbert or some other star, and they go out and want to get gmething like it. “When they come into my store with such requests we just tell them we don't handle that type of thing and try to explain why we don’t believe in it.” New York designers, Miss Burns feels, get too elaborate in some cases, but for the most part they use good sense and avoid what she regards as the errors of the Hollywood crowd,

Taste in Millinery Varies With Towns

By ROBERT RICHARDS | United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, April 5—Albert E. Schimmel, who is experienced and should know better, claimed today that he can predict how any American city will react to a woman's new hat. You pick the bonnet and the town, come Easter or .Christmas, and Mr; Schimmel—who still describes himself as a “boy wonder” at 42—will tell you just what'll happen when the two come toe gether. He operates his own wholesale millinery business in Manhattan, and he said he has to know what chapeau appeals to the babes in different towns, or he'll go broke trying. “Not only that, but some cities share a kindred feeling for hats,” Schimmel sald, “and you have to watch out for that.” For instance if he makes a little flowered number that's a wow in Philadelphia, Schimmel knows that . it'll be a smasheroo in Chicago or St. Louis. Black for New York “Why?” Schimmel asked. “Now don't ask me why, but it's a fact,” Also, if the same hat flops in Buffalo, Schimmel takes it off of his list headed for Trenton, N. J. “I just know it won't sell there” he explained, “The women in Buffalo and the women in Trenton like the same things—even when they don't know each other.” Schimmel said New Yorkers like black hats the best, while New Orleans is known in the trade as a “white hat” town. In Atlanta, he claims, the gals choose blue hats the most, while in Baltimore they pay on the line for pink. Schimmel said that the new hats will be big, romantic and glamorous. “After al] those matter-of-fact hats worn during the war,” he said, “women are really ready to step out.” Schimmel has one severe test which he always gives to any radically new hats before he sends them out to face the nation. “I give 'em a trial in Brooklyn* he said. “If they make a go of it
