" SEWING THEIR OWN In the Congressional Club

their own spring costumes.

in Washington, CongressMrs. John Taber (second

from right), wife of the Congressman from New York, is wearing a navy changeable. taffeta evening gown of her own design. She is assisted by Mrs. Armstrong Rockwell who wears a cotton frock she designed and made.

By NEA Service . WASHINGTON, Apr. 5 — Scissors, pins and needles are all flashing busily at the Congressional Club these days, with wives of the members of Congress making their own spring costumes. Last year Congressional wives made their spring hats this year they're even more tious and are attempting, ] evening ) dresses and ‘afternoon dresses. Some have had little experiwhile - some of them. are experts; but the greatest fun in this class, say members, is the designing of theft own cost .

from New York. For a woman who admits that she knew little about sewing, Mre. Taber has designed a dress worthy of an expert. An evening dress in navy. changeable taffeta, with Intricate draping, her creation is destined for the first party on her calendar when it is completed.

“I'm going to wear it as soon as it's finished,” she says. “Maybe to the first party I'm invited to.” For the past month, Senators and Representatives’ wives have been studying dress designing with Magda, the Washington designer. At present, they are finishing their original designs preparatory to stepping out for spring. A Hoosier Fashions a Frock

Of Japanese Parachute Among the members of the class are Mrs. Robert A. Grant (R. Ind.), Mrs. Joe L. Evans (D. Tenn.), Mrs. John Taber (R. N. Y.), Mrs. Leroy Johnson (R. Cal), Mrs. Walter H. Judd (R. Minn.), Mrs. W. K. Granger (D. Utah), Mrs. A. L. Miller (R. Neb.), Mrs. Brooks Hays (D. Ark.), Mrs. John J. Williams (R. Del), Mrs. Wayne Morse (R. Ore.) and Mrs. Clifford Davis (D. Tenn.). : Mrs. Williams has designed and made an afternoon dress in a hand-blocked pure silk print of chartreuse and lemon, It has a scoop neckline, short rap sleeves and a slight bustle

kK. There is a definite air of mid-

Victorian days in the dress designed by Mrs. Taber, but it promotes the “new look” with a draped collar and swing back, A simple but smart design is the one created by Mrs. Judd. This dressmaker suit has a double “V” in pin tucks on the blouse and jacket and is in champagne colored silk pongee. Mrs. Leroy Johnson's creation is a cape suit in navy crepé. It has a six-yard skirt with only one seam, and a fingertip cape with no seams. Mrs. Morse and Mrs. Grant ‘have designed dinner dresses. Mrs. Morse's gown is in peacock blue crepe with a sweet heart neckline and a front drape. Mrs. Grant has created a tulip-skirted evening dress in white cocoon silk. The material for Mrs. Grant's dress was once a Japanese parachute. But designing their own costumes isn't the only activity that is keeping the congressional wives busy. Classes in Spanish and art are now being held for club members. Other members are busily working for the Red Cross. Classes in millinery and in-

Full-skin scarfs may have as few as two skins, which make smart ascot-like effects; as many as 10 skins, which provide spectacular drapery. You can buy a modest scarf of two skins now, if a budget is limited, and increase ‘size and showiness by adding matching skins when your funds permit. On this score, furriers who build up scarfs from modest beginnings by matching, re-blen and re‘larranging skins, caution you not

Fashion's Success

By LOUISE FLETCHER Times Woman's Editor FASHIONS in foundation garments nowadays ‘are as varied as in the clothing worn over them. Not only that, the choice of a foundation is pretty likely to determine HOW a woman's outer garments: fit and look. For instance, if a long-torso suit or frock is the wearer's choice, she's going to need a foundation which provides a long molded line. On the other hand, if she chooses a littlewaisted dress with a full, gathered ' skirt, another type of foundation is in order. These and a multitude of other factors in selection and fitting of foundations are being stressed this week at: a school for corsetieres which the Warner Brothers Co. is holding in the Hotel Lincoln. » ” ” IN THE CASE of the longtorso fashion, the foundation
