TF you want to sell yourself as a little girl with "person-

I low want to sell yourse, break into print!

For the authenticity of print is recognized every- where. It is bound to impress that boss of yours, that beau of yours, all your friends, and the world in general.

Prints are fresh-looking. They are chic, colorful and as varied as flowers in an old-fashioned garden. There

is much more lift in a gay-printed frock than in a plain

colored one. Whatever your coloring. your personal slant un life or whatever your job, I am sure you can find appro- prite printed costumes that help you to be what you want

to be.

I have selected a rounded wardrobe for you this week.

Julia

For I consider no girl gets the most out of life who wears only office' clothes.

For daytime wear I have given you a selection of materials, foulard, printed necktie silk and printed flat crepe.

I. I HOPE each and all of you are planning to participate in some week-end parties this year, which will mean you must have an after noon dress. Get one that likewise serves the purpose of the "Sunday evening frock. By that I mean a dressy one that is informal, yet dec- orative.

I looked at mousseline, organdie, dotted Swisses and lace, and I de- cided that a pale yellow chiffon, with the new outline flowers in emerald green, blue and beige couldn't be beat. It has lovely lady lines for you. And graceful lace yake, jabot and cuffs.

•

You will hold your head a little higher, too, if you put on a picture hat of natural balibunt, with its crown all banded prettily with yellow, brown, peach and green taffeta. And a pair of T-strap sandals in parch- ment kid, with beige and tan trim seem to me to be a good understand- ing for this outfit.

II. IF you would relish being sophisticated-looking in a stunning way. glance at the little triple-tiered foulard frock in a thistle pattern of black and white lines on a lacquer red background. There's grace and graciousness in every line of it, and an indefinite feeling that the woman who wears it knows what it's all about.

The long-limbed line is accentuated by a slightly high.belt line, and the sleeves blouse slightly above a tall cuff. This is an easy dress to wear, for it has a flattering neckline of fluted white silk pique that bastes inside a narrow banding of plain red outlined with white.

A lacquer red bangkok from Rebous, with one side wider than the other and the front cut away to show the forehead, is an ideal hat for this frock, just big enough to add a note of dressiness to it and little enough to be comfortable if you wear it on the street or in can. Red lizard shoes with a fine little yoke' design in the same material can be had, too.

III. IF you are demure and want to be chic, look at the little Goupy- cape suit of printed flat crepe. It has a navy blue background with tiny flowers of green, brown and white. It frock has a double- tiered skirt, below a princess-fitted waistline and hips. The frock has long sleeves and a neat little neckline of pleated self-material, a life- saver if you have many frocks with white collars to be washed daily.

The cape of this little outfit fits you well through the shoulders so it won't irritate you by slipping around. I has a flounce of pleated material like the skirt. and is jacket length,

Being a fine printed pattern, you won't soon tire of this unusual cut. It is calculated to set you up. Put it on, along with a little navy blue straw beret with white and navy blue grosgrain ribbon trimming it, and a pair of navy blue kid pumps, piped in white, and see how set up you feel.

IV. IF you are the practical girl who demands style plus utility, I have chosen a Carette import that will give you something absolutely new, the printed long coat and the plain frock making an ensemble.

You can see at a glance what an ideal combination it is. The flow- ered coat of quaint necktie silk in beige, brown, yellow and orange, gives you a chance to wear four different plain-colored dresses with it and be chic in every one.

The Frock I show with it is its own beige flat crepe with cute short sleeves, a petalled collar and jabot and fine rows of fagotting around the waist to the hipline where the accordion pleating starts. The dress has the new short sleeves and is belted with brown, and the racella mush- toom hat is brown, too, banded in a slightly darker tone. But I want you especially to look at the coat, for it is tailored, long-sleeved, full. length and unlined. Wear it with or without a belt..

V NOW for the party dress. Shall it be chiffon or shall it be taf fela? There is summer delicacy in chiffons and there is youth in taffeta. Which do you want?

Roses do not wait for June to bloom this year, but all the new Paris things picture them. So 1 picked a lovely rose printed taffeta evening gown as a first choice for you. You'll feel like a million dancing in such a gown! It has a tight bodice, wide girdle and full, flounced skirt. It fastens up one side under the arm.

And remember, you had better invest in one of those nice foundations that go by the old-fashioned name of corsets, but are really supple as a silk shirt.

THERE is something refreshing about a print that makes it sparkle

with hopefulness and raises sagging spirits accordingly. Maybe it is" a raise in pay you crave. Maybe it is a little more attention for which you yearn. Maybe it is social recognition that you desire. Why not try the old fascinating game of dressing up to the part you want to play and taking a chance?

You will be surprised how your clothes will carry you instead of you having to carry them.

It is wise to avoid a bizarre design and an original cut in the same costume, as the combination will pall on you. When you are choosing a dress, remember that you are going to live with it for a while,

Accordingly, it is almost always better to choose one whose attrac tion will last instead of fading like a shooting star or last week's salary, That poise which results from a well-dressed feeling may send you striding ahead socially or professionally in a way that will be surprising. Mybe clothes don't make the woman, but they certainly help considerably.

V. If you have an extra bit of fat on you, it's worth losing for this rose,
