That's what many a youthful wearer is getting from such simple and unassuming fabrics like chintz for the coming sea-son. A designer for college wardrobes uses a quaint sprig-ged pattern for the skirt and sets it off with a solid colored green or white top. The wonder-ful swing of the silhouette is re-peated in the full collar, the points of the westklt-typ- e jack-et and the deep pockets. WOMAN'S WORLD Plan Your Fashion Wardrobe Carefully Washable Crepe like to choose fashions which fea-ture some of the new large collars, choir boy and shawl effects. For formal blouses where the interest is In the fabric, and especially if the material is ornate as plisse taffeta or glittering lame, simple lines will enhance the beauty of effect. Skirts for semi-dres- s and formal occasions may be full, in contrast to the slim and tailored lines worn for daytime. Gathered or pleated skirts are extremely effec-tive. Good Construction Gives Satisfactory Wear Whether blouses are bought or made at home, they should be well constructed to give satisfactory as well as comfortable wear. A blouse which requires constant mending soon becomes too much of an ef-fort to keep in condition and will end in the deep recesses of the closet. When buying a blouse, check to see whether the blouse should be washed or Blouses for everyday wear should be wash-able so they can be laundered fre-quently to keep in immaculate con-dition. By Eftta Haley THE POPULARITY of sep-arate AS skirts grows for every occasion, the blouse is acquiring a fashion significance of its own. A woman can get through a sea-son with a well chosen blouse and skirt wardrobe if she is really clever about choice as to style, and thus save considerably on ward-robe expense. Naturally this requires her to shop wisely for the skirts and blouses in her wardrobe for each Item will have to lead a double or triple life. But, women do it every day, and manage to look smart and fashionable, too! The number of skirts a woman needs in her wardrobe will depend greatly on her various activities. Those who work will want at least two or three skirts with several blouses to take them through their business week, while the woman who stays at home can probably get along with one tailored skirt and one or two blouses for shop-ping and such. Those whose social activities are numerous will want two or more skirts of a dressy nature with ap-propriate blouses. Skirts can seldom be washed at home successfully so you'll have to plan cleaning for them. If you're economy-minde- however, with With fashion interest high in blouses and skirts, you'U find this gleaming white blouse in rayon crepe a good choice for suits or separate skirts. The smart button-dow- n bow at the neck of the blouse, echoed at the cuffs, is a practical fash-ion and the washable rayon crepe, made with Avisco yarns, gives long wear and complete washability. inset. Pay as much attention to the neckline interest of a blouse as you would a dress neckline. Bony neck-lines require something frilly to cover and soften them, while those which are well padded can stand a slightly more open neck. With a suit, the neckline should never be too low or bare. If you want a blouse to wear with warm" weather sports clothes, choose a sturdy, washable fabric that will take plenty of hard wear. Simple lines are best, "with sleeve-less and collarless styles being the most popular. There's a wonderful selection of gay, bright colors in these simple blouses. They may be chosen to Choose an appropriate blouse . . . this type ef wardrobe, choose wash-able blouses that will look well after careful home laundering. Have enough blouses, too, so that if laundering lags behind schedule, you'll still have enough on which to fall back when the need arises. Appropriate decorative touches can do much to liven the blouse and skirt wardrobe. Choose your jewelry, scarves and accessories with as much fashion sense as you would dresses and suits, and you need never feel that a skirt and blouse wardrobe is dull or unflat-tering.

If you want a blouse that goes with a tailored skirt or a spring suit, select a fabric such as washable rayoa crepe or, perhaps, tissue faille that wom't be too heavy under a suit jacket.

The chances are they have had French lessons, but don't speak any language but their own; that much money has been spent on music lessons, but practice aban-doned years ago; that if they have had any lessons in cooking these lessons were given in classes, and embraced such essential dishes as fudge, Bechamel sauce, and ca-napes. Or else they are taught by chart, and instructed as to the chemical elements of potatoes and aspara-gus, and the exact time in which a roast is cooked, with an oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. These statistics naturally mean nothing to the group of pretty girls, whose immediate concern is their hair, their and their next date. But American girls are smart, adaptable, proud. Most of them learn to be good cooks in those in-fatuated weeks that follow mar-riage, when beauty, youth and love cast a glamor over burned white sauce and crab meat that has been absent-mindedl- y left too long in the sun on the back porch, and by the time Jim begins to grow a little critical of his meals, Nancy has be-come a really good cook. The days of waste and extrava-gance and burning and spilling are over. Nancy moves capably about her kitchen, her spattered cook-book open at the mushroom dress-ing or the lemon pudding Jim likes, and her economical eye already fixed on the refrigerator's contents with plans for tomorrow. Innocent Questions So, perhaps it isn't necessary that Mother take her engaged daughter into the kitchen some portant, all through the long years of marriage. A man comes home grimy, tired and hungry from the office, and the prettiest wife in the world, if she closes her magazine as he comes in the door, yawns, lifts her face for a kiss, and ex-claims; "Oh, it isn't six? Goodness. Well, what would you like? I have the cold pot-roa- Mama brought and there are artichokes. How long do they cook? Or there are eggs. Or we could go downtown," is risk-ing the security of her marriage. It may not come to actual jeopardy for months but it is in danger from the start. "Bless them," said the fond mother of one bride, "if Thelma can't cook, Will can always take her downtown to dinner." But that's not the same thing. Men don't come home just to be told to freshen up and change that shirt, we're going to the Clifton. Husbands don't bring bachelor friends home only to inform them that the little woman has decided that we'll have our cocktails here, and then "go somewhere." There are moods of office discourage-ment or tedium or failure when just the effort to select that "some-where" is wearying. As for the guest, he is so sick of printed menus, and "choice of and "the price of the entree." Over that downtown dinner table, in one of the long waits, quarreling starts. The man may not be smart enough to know that his wife has failed him; the wife herself may not dream it. But failure to take home comfort, good hot meals, a dainty table, home fires and home welcome seriously is a great mis-take. Men can run away from the pos-ses-of the pretty face. But a man doesn't run away when his dream of love and welcome, a happy din-ner table with a happy woman op-posite him, comes true. . . learn to he good cooks . . weeks before the wedding and ter-rify her with lectures on the bur-dens of housekeeping, of how to judge a naked chicken's tender-ness in the market, or prevent fungus from forming on bread. Nancy's innocent questions as to why almost-decaye- d ducks and mouldy Roquefort cheese are con-sidered delicacies, and the slight-est suggestions of age in eggs is re-- - garded with horror will answer themselves long before she can price ducks or Roquefort, and as soon as she tastes an addled egg. Her equally naive demand la the market for a hind shoulder of lamb, or her. comment that no wonder French chops are expensive If they have to come all that distance, will only be made once. It was a bride, years ago, who asked her dinner guests if the eggs of flies were good eating. They looked so clean and white on the fish, she said, before she had baked it. Even though the answer of her choking elders was &a amiable negative, I remember that we all ate the fish, closing our eyes, minds and sensibilities. It was her main course, and she had baked her w pretty face watching it. Good Meals Important But even if Mother hasn't been teaching her to cook since her seventh year, and doesn't feel UP t it in all the wedding flurry, IJ sin-cerely do believe that every girl should be impressed, and by )Uaig reminder all through her girlhood, that cooking is no joke.

A bachelor got a little drunk one night, and decided to pay a visit to a certain young widow friend. As she opened the door, he asked for a kiss. She refused. He stepped in-side and repeated his request. Again she said no. Then he got down en his knees, beside her - chair, and begged for a kiss. She said na once more, and moved to the cuch. He followed her there, A man sued his wife for divorce on grounds of adultery. At the trial, a private detective took the witness stand and testified as to the wife's misconduct. But he didn't stop there. He added that he had dis-covered, in the course of his in-vestigation, that the husband was guilty of the same thing! The court thereupon refused to grant a di-vorce to either party, saying: "The divorce laws were intended for the relief of injured innocence not to encourage persons of loose morals to live in scandalous way." Does the Law Ever Encourage "Back Seat Driving?" A man took an friend for a ride one Sunday morning to show him the sights of the city-So- on they came to a busy intersec-tion. The motorist, not noticing the red signal on the corner, kept right on driving at full speed. His passenger realized the situation, asked again, and was turned down agaui. Then they returned t the chair and went through the same routine. In despair at last, the man left. The widow later had him ar-rested an an assault charge, but the court found him hot guilty. Pointing out that the poor fellow hadn't even touched the woman, the judge decided that he had al-ready been punished enoughl A broker went to the barber shop one morning to get a shave and a haircut. During the shave, the bar-ber inflicted a nasty nick on the man's Adam's apple. Later the man developed a case of barber's Itch, and filed suit for damages. At the trial, one of the barber's em-ployees admitted that razors were not always sterilized between shave. Th c u r t thereupon granted the broker's claim. The judge said that while occasional cuts might be unavoidable, the lack of sanitation wasn't but didn't say a word. Sure enough, the car crashed into another auto-mobile that was just emerging from the side street. The friend was injured in the collision, and later sued his host for damages on grounds of careless driving. How-ever, the court ruled that the friend had been equally at fault for not speaking up. The judge said that, under the circumstances, a little "back seat driving" was definitely called for! Weird Object Puzzles Airmen Revives Discussion Of 'Flying Saucers' HAMLET, N. C A mysterious object moving southwestward through the sky had scores of Caro-linians agog. The object, on which descriptions varied, first was spotted at about 59 miles northeast of Hamlet, at about 4:30 p.m. It was sighted again over Hamlet at about 4:45- - p.m and reports came from Greenwood. S. C. that the mysterious object had passed west-ward over that city shortly after t p.m. Greenwood is about 180 miles southwest of Hamlet. Scores of residents in afl three cities reported sighting the object. And at Hamlet and Greenwood It was chased for several minutes by four pilots. Hamlet observers said it resem-bled a balloon or blimp, and ap-peared to be about 20 or 30 feet in diameter. At Fayetteville, one ob-server said it looked more like vertical neon lighting tube. At Greenwood, two pilots said it appeared to be a streak of smoke about 15 or 20 feet long coming from an unseen plane. But the ob-ject, the pilots said, retained its shape during the 10 or 15 minutes that they followed it. Ground observers all said that it drifted into the directio of the set-ting sun. But the four pilots who chased It at Hnlet and Greenwoed said they were unable to gain on it in their light planes. At Greenwood, Joe Pole, one of the pilots, reported that the thing appeared to be flying at about 6,000 feet. He and W. C.
