LACE COLLAR AND CUFF SETS; NEWEST IDEAS IN FELT HATS

THAT which the mode has these months been foretelling in the way of lavish lace neckwear sets is i cing happily realized in spring fashions. Too much emphasis cannot be placed upon the importance of handsome lace or, if it so please, dainty georgette accessories. Now that the vogue Is started. It is developing at such a rapid rate, one scarcely thinks of spring frocks, especially those of cloth and silk for daytime wear, which do not include fetching lace touches. As to the most popular items in lace adornment who can tell, \yith such a wealth of ideas making their appearance in fashion’s picture. An outstanding figure among neckwear novelties Is the collar which forms a deep cape-like effect at the back. In the

SOME OF THE NECKWEAR SETS

accompanying picture, Barbara Kent, whose face is so pleasantly familiar to every “movie fan," wears one ot the very ne’w deep collars, posing it before a mirror so those interested may view it hack and front. It seems that this modish collar develops a fichu tie at the front. This is a very proper thing for it to do considering that the mode at this moment is placing great stress on fichu effects. One sees many dark silks and satins made up with a fichu tie of fine ochre-tinted Alencon lace. One of the biggest successes of the lace mode is the plastron sets which are designed to wear over the dress, as is the handsome Vandyke (so called because of its pointed contour) model ip the picture. For these V-shaped

and often round yoke effects, a verl table medley of tine laces are worked j together in a most manner ( Styles with collars, as here pictured, vie with collarlSss The georgette plaited set in the picture is charming as you see it here, forming a deep collar effect with ties caught at the front with a pearl buckle. The b&auty of this model is that it can be worn in so many ways For instance, by turning it around so that the buckle Is positioned at the left shoulder with the streamers drop ping down to one side, an entirely new interpretation Is given, and one most youthful 'and becoming in that it de tines a girliy round neckline. This charming set u available in rose.

Matched Slippers More Important for Evening Satin or moire taffeta slippers dyed to match the gown are becoming more and more important for evening wear. Many women find them vastly more flattering than the popular gold and silver styles. If matching the dress, slippers should be a shade lighter than dttrker, so as to suggest the ethereal and airy. Black slippers are often smart with a cont! » r gown, acting as a sort

beige, flesh and In white georgette. The little self-trimmed felt hat is challenging the resourcefulness of the milliner to the limit this season. Many of the smartest hats are nothing more or less than a minimum of felt manipulated with a maximum of genius. To this end of imparting an aspect of newness which shall distinguish the immediate felt from the felt of the past, designers are playing up imagination to the limit, with results,that felts are still a yiatler of intensified interest in the fashionable world. Trimming felt with felt is a leading theme of the moment. One of the newest ideas which is taking very well is the felt flower trim on the hat of felt. For an example of this charm

Ing trend see the clever model centered in the picture. It is a late iru' port from Paris. The idea is interpreted in a different way by the model in the panel below to the right. This striking chapeau is developed in the new “dusty" almond green. Stitching and cording achieve an attractive leaf design for the side ot the draped felt lain shown at the top of the group to the right. A most unusual halo effect is given to the close-fitting navy blue velours hat illustrated in the lower left corner in the picture. The brimless beige hat ot felt shown first in this collection is trimmed with two bands of felt arranged skillfully around the back, coming to ruther

Large Wire Necessary i [ for A. C. Filaments f In the construction of sets that are i io be operated from batteries the question of the size of the filament > wire rarely enters This is due both : to the comparatively low current required for each tube and the fact that a slight difference in the voltage I applied to each tube makes little or no difference in the operation of the • receiver. > in the case of receivers using raw l A. C. tubes the situation is quite disI ferent. The current required by each tube is very much higher. The 226 type, for example, draws 1.05 amperes. if an attempt is made to operate several filaments in parallel with a single twisted conductor running successively to the five tubes several difficulties will arise and cause trouble. Due to the higher current there is a correspondingly higher voltage drop along the filament. This means thal quite a potential difference may exist between the first and the last tube. If the wire is small enough the reduced filament current may be of importance. The really serious trouble, however, is that this drop in the tila ment circuit is impressed as an alternating e. m. f. on the grids of the tubes in the usual circuit arrangement. i This trouble is quite noticeable in I the radio-frequency amplifier. The , set may be perfectly quiet with no incoming signal. A carrier will then be received and the hum immediatei ly becomes noticeable. This is due to I the A. C. e. m. f. modulating the carrier. This is then rectified by the I detector and becomes audible. To overcome this two things should ! be done. ‘ First large wire should be i used to make the drop very small. : Then to prevent the difference in drop f to different tubes occurring leads of approximately the same length should • be run from a common distribution ( point, if, say, three stages of radiofrequency amplification are used then the “feeder” should go to the second stage. From a common point perhaps six inches from the socket two pairs of twisted conductor should be run to the first and third stage tubes, respectively. Where the leads are of approximately the same length about No. 18 wire will be found satisfactory. In other eases about No. 14 should be used. Volume-Gontrol Means for Radio Receivers Experimenters who have attempted to adapt some of the volume-control methods used in D. C. receivers to A. C. sets nave found that; it was possible to get a good • miminmm or low volume point. This trouble occurs when the. volume control is used in the circuit of a radio-frequency tube ahead of the detector. This control usually consists of a variable resistance which is> shunted across one of the tuned circuits. The reason for inability to reduce ! the signal to “zero” is that the power ■ line is acting as a line of the carrieri current type (acting as the line does in “wired” wireless) and bringing the high-frequency signal into the set I through the plate-supply unit. There i may be sufficient signal impressed on the detector to give good reproduction even when the volume control is set for no signal. To overcome this it is necessary to offer a very high impedance to the radio-frequency currents to “choke” them out. A radio frequency choke should be inserted in the radio-fre-quency plate-supply lead at the receiver. A .01 or .02 mica condenser should then be connected from the receiver side of the choke to the grid return lead (potentiometer mid-tap). I i Speaker Should Not Be Placed Above Radio Set quality of programs now available deserves the best possible efficiency in reproduction. It is a wellknown fact that the tone quality obj tained is dependent not only on the | efficiency of the speaker, but on its position in the room. | Another well-known fact is that it i is undesirable to place the speaker directly above the radio set. This is easily tested by moving the speaker about over the top < f the set. when it will be noticed that distortion occurs as the speaker coils come within the radio-frequency field of the radiofrequency tuning units. The shortness of the usual speaker cord often interferees with placing the reproducer to best advantage in the room This is now easily overcome by means of efficient extension -ords specially prepared for this purpose and which are on sale at m%st any radio store.. Overcharge When in Doubt The set owner who uses a storage battery is often troubled by reminders that both overcharging and undercharging. may result In reduced life of the battery. While the former is true it is of considerable less importance than the latter, so “when in doubt overcharge." If the charging rate is moderate the effect on the battery life will be slight Corrosion Causes Noises Batteries are known to produce noises of their own. Corroded terminals in jacks and battery clips, corroded contacts and tube prongs are° likely to become vocal if neglected. An open circuit in the audio circuit will produce a fine imitation of a 60cycle hum. Damp Weather and Speakers I Because paper or wood becomes water logged during damp weather resulting in poor tone qualities, it is a wise plan to dry out the cone or balsam wood speaker neur the stove or radiator
