Evening Wraps of Rayon Velvet; Color Lends Beauty to Lace ill - - WlTl . > II ■ libS i i i jSrße ssin r —

DOUBT, fash- ’ ionables of the long ago would consider with disfavor an announcement of a velvet vogue during midsummer days, But then that was before the exquisitely sheer and transparent velvets, which are the pride of the textile arts, were invented. Modern velvet is a joy to behold, a joy to wear, a fabric to be rnveted for all-the-year-round-wear. At the very moment, fashion is staging a prologue to a velvet vogue which promises to attain a high crescendo

with the coming of autumn and winter. Already the style horizon is being crowded with an imposing array of charming velvet wraps and gowns. The favorite coat to wear with the filmy flowery or plain chiffon frocks is sheer velvet, either in black, white or colors. Many of the most alluring transparent Velvets are of rayon weave. These new velvets which are growing more and more popular, and which promise to arouse as much enthusiasm in the world of fashion as have the gay silk prints which “everybody” is wearing, show striking diversity in their patterning. The designs include multicolor dots, rings, large disks, squares, spots, stripes, plaids, checks, some conventional florals and above all novel modernistic motifs. Indeed they are designed very much after the manner of the silk prints which have held the center of the stage for so long a time. The appeal of velvet is felt as keenly in the realm of wraps as it is tn that of frocks. Now that such pretentious fetes of open air opera, garden parties and formal after-six-o’clock country club affairs so fill the midsummer night social calendar, women ot fashion are becoming more and more Interested in the evening wrap as a summer as well as a winter Item.

Linen for Country Frocks Linen has definitely registered itself as an important material for country wear. Many of the French houses have revived plain and printed hand kerchief linens, as well as piques. Irish dimity, and other charming cotton fabrics and given them a new and important place in the summer mode. !

WA Beautiful Evening Wrap. Yes, there is no doubt about the dyed all-over laces now in vogue being among the loveliest media the mode has to offer for dine, dance and afternoon frocks. Still another thing which glorifies these flattering lacy confections with super-charm, is the manner of their styling. The very beauty of these cobweblike colorful textures is a challenge to/stylists to bring into play their firfest and most ingenious creative ideas. There is, per example, the lovely dinner gown in this picture—an original Chanel model of lavender lace. With what beguiling simplicity is it fashioned. The sleevelike drape over one arm only, is individual in its treatment. Os course the hemline is artistically uneven, as it must be to comply with the dictates of the formal evening mode. The ablest couturiers are doing some fetching things with lace these days, omitting no intriguing detail such as mark the season’s styling. They employ flounces, ' tiers, capelets, deep berthas, fluttering scarfs, fitted hiplines which slope to the back, most of them accenting either scallops or points, and so the list might be continued, for the subtleties of the mod-

ernists’ dressmaking art are more than words can convey. Pale beige is a favorite shade for the lace dress of cobweb texture. Amber is another color which is very smart. In fact the brownish tones for sheer evening frocks are very much in the limelight of fashion. On the theory that “one cannot have too much of a good thing,” fashionista are complementing garden party and dinner frocks with wraps of matching lace. Some take the form of graceful capes, others of handsome three-quar-ter length coats. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (©. 1928. Western Newspaper Union.! of black, which are worn with a blouse of white satin.

i lift! United States Now Has j 40,000,000 Radio Fans Nearly 12,000,000 standard radio receiving sets are in use in the United States. They serve an audience of no less than 40,000,000 persons. These figures are the result of a nation-wide survey made at the request of the national radio commission. Figures upon which the survey was based were obtained from all trade bodies, trade publications and others Interested in the radio industry. These figures show that 7,500.000 sets are standard in that they deliver loud speaker volume. The figures do not Include the onetube crystal sets, the report of the survey states. There seems no way of obtaining any accurate figures on the numbers of these obsolete sets but they are conservatively estimated at between 11,000,000 and 12.000.006. Few persons even in the radio industry realize the large number of these small crystal outfits which “have been put into circulation, particularly as premiums. One group of banking has distributed 200,000 of these little sets, combined with customers’ savings banks. Other large quantities have been sold direct to customers by chain stores and mail order houses. Such sets usually whet their owners’ desires to purchase loud speaker outfits, sooner or later. Income taxes paid, as might be expected, proved to be the dominating influence in the size of the local radio audience, the number of sets in use corresponding much more closely to this money total than to the population figure. Sales of receiving sets by dealer? were also found jo follow sharply the proportions of sets in use; that is, it> communities already well supplied with radio sets, the current sales of sets were found to be greatest, while in the states having few sets in use, sales ot new sets were correspondingly smah. - Says Piezo Oscillators Will Help Clear Air Special piezo oscillators, which will bV>ld a station so close to its frequency that several such stations can operate on the same wave length without interference, is a possibility of the very near future, according to Dr. J. H. Dellinger, of the radio laboratory of the • bureau of standards. “Radio-frequency standardization, ofi hithertofore laboratory character only, has been of first importance in reducing radio interference.” says Mr. Dellinger. “The recent International Radio conference recognized frequency, as the cornerstone in the radio structure by devoting its major attennori to a frequency development of all radio # services. “Because of the increasing Use of all available radio channels, particularly those for broadcasting, and the very high frequencies, the requirements of frequency measurement are a hundred times more rigorous than they were five years ago. The perfection of standards and measurements to the necessary accuracy requires the most intensive work by the government and by various large organizations to produce standards and instruments that can be used to keep radio stations each operating on its own channel. “Piezo oscillators are now available to hold radio station frequencies extremely constant. For instruments of this type equipped with temperaturecontrol, national international comparisons have shown that they ure reliable to a few parts in 100.900. “This brings in sight the possibility of the use of special piezo oscillators in broadcasting stations which will hold the frequency so close that several such stations can operate simultaneously without heterodyne interference on the same frequency.” Good R. F. Chokes Needed for Low Wave Reception The comparatively recent interest aroused in short wave reception by the broadcast listener has focused the attention of many engineers on the development of apparatus for use at these wave lengths. One very difficult problem is the design of a good radiofrequency choke which will be satisfactory over the very great frequency * range used. A British product has recently appeared in which the choke is made by winding a series of “pies” on a conical section so each section has a different inductance and distrilmted capacitance resulting In what amounts to a series of chokes having different natural periods. Tne same effect is gotten in a recent American product by using slots of 'different widths Experimenters working at high frequencies should find an Investigation of these types very valuable. Adjusting Grid Bias and Avoiding Harmonics The attention of the experimenter has recently been drawn to the fact that even at normal biasing potentials there may be considerable grid current In the 350-type tube. This Is very naturally increased as the grid approaches zero potential, and may for this reason introduce second harmonics in the output. While this is somewhat objectionable it should not result tn general condemnation of the tube. The manufacturers of this type of tube have pointed out the advantage of using low impedance input circuits looking into the 350. If this impedance is of the order ot 10.000 to 20,000 ohms the variation in input resistance of the tube itself may be neglected. This low Impedance may be obtained very easily in a resistance coupled amplifier or one of the “double impedance” type. j Keep Battery Watered Particularly during warm weather keep plenty of distilled water In stor-tge-batteries. t’ I '. ‘ •
