me first excursion into the

at outdoors with paints and brushes is apt to be a disappoint- mg one, because the result falls so far short of the mental picture we have been cherishing; in oth- er words, our technique has let us down. We forg-et that in one respect painting is like playing constantlY- “

Of all the ma-ny and varied mistakes.a beginner can make, there are two which, though eas- ﬂy overcome, are hard for him 00 see in his own work. These are; the inclusion of too much detail, and the failure to see light as an important factor. Regard- ing the first, he must learn to simplify. In painting the fziage of a tree, for instance, he must ,h°w large masses of light and dark green rather than try to show individual leaves. Don’t try to show every brick in a

chimney, nor every shingle on_

the side of a barn. with regard to the second, this pmbxem, the study of light, is not

59 SimD1e._It is remarkable how {many beginners get their paint- ings too dark. The sky is lumin- ous. That is where our light comes from, and it is usually the lightest tone, or value. Those sur- faces which are turned to the Sky. 01‘ more particularly to the Sun. receive the most light.

Those turned from the sun, Such as the underside of trees etc. are usually the darkest tone. Watch out for medium tones on those surfaces turned obliquely to the source of light. Remember, too. that as things get farther ‘way from you. they get lighter in tone, and the color becomes greyer. That distant group of fir trees is never as dark as it appears to be.

On the other hand, there are those who use too much white, and 50 get a,_chaiky tone. This re- fers to painting in oils, of course.

The perception of tone, or light anddark, comes gradually, but it is first necessary to realize how important it is. '

Designers Give Variety

In Style, Clo’rh Ancl Color

The chemise shape has estab- ﬁshed itself so firmly in the fash- 1011 world that it has been adapt- ed even to bathing suits! The chemise has experienced all man her of modifications in fashions generally, but the essential line 15 still evident.

This was the story at the spring showings of the Incorporated So- ciety of London Fashion Design- ers just concluded in London. Hems are up, waists are ignored _ or merely hinted at — skirts are slim and colors are fresher and gayer than ever.

The new line demands a short- er skirt and lends itself amia- bly to deoollete necklines, stand- away collars, collars dropping low a-t the back, casual beltings and interesting treatment of but- tons and bows. Altogether there is an air of essential youth rad- iating from the new spring col- lections.

Some‘ designers carried this

theme further than others. Hardy

Amies even had his models wear-

ing a type of patent leather dan-

cing shoe to heighten the school- girl effect, while Lacliasse team- ed his m-iddy- suits with chic Bre- ton hats.

_Outside.of this general theme, however, the designers provided infinite variety in style, cloth and color. British woollens in all weights and colors were softly moulded into ﬂuid styles. Tweeds were seen everywhere, not only in the usual earthy shades but also in exciting colors such as pink, violet -and flalmingo. Tweed prints were given a crisp look travnslabcd into chiffons, satins and silks.

British mohair has really come irito its own this season with Ron- ald Paterson as a particular devotee. His sumptuous colors in this talmic reflect all the wonders of tropical deep-sea beds, often subtedly toned in huge ﬂoral prints.

John Cavanag‘h’s mannequins closely resembled a- class of en- chanting little schoolgirls. Hi s dresses fall straight from the shoulders, bypass the waist and with a pleated hem. He calls this look "Slipstream" —- a name that aptly describes the extreme grace It conveys in motion. This is a- chieved by drapings and loopings of very supple fabrics, particu-

ly effective in soft, lightweight

tish woolllens. His favorite col- Cm are all the imaginable shades of melon and coral.

An obvious favorite of Hardy Andes’ is a very simple suit that appeared again and. again with ‘light viazilat-ions during his show. The jacket is shortish with curv- ed or slightly bloused back and lust sufficient shaping to indicate the waist in ﬁront. The skirt, a fraction shorter than last season,

either very narrow or slightly bell-shaped.

Paterson's “Kite Line” has broad rounded shoulders and tap- ers through closely fitting hips to a very narrow hem just below the knee. He achieves great flu- ldlii’ of movement through use of Wer- t‘he- skirt panels, loopings, and casual drapes.

Sherard’s spring theme is in- smiled by the wine waiters of F_‘1‘ance and called “The Somme- her Line.” All accent on fullness

L

is at the back, above or below the waist. A particularly attractive ensemble in his collec:tion is a heavenly pink British woollen dress with a pink checked tweed at

co .

Hairtnell's tweeds show all the flamboyant richness of purples, blues and greens, often exuber- antly draped with pale fox furs. His formal wear is the most breathtamng of all: sequin and jewel encrusted ball gowns, swir- ling navy blue and dramatic black which ﬂoats and trails in motion.

Dear Mai-y Haworth: Why can't I fit in with my husband’s friends: I seem simply to go to pieces around them, and can't register any warmth of personal- ity wliatsoeviem. How can I over- come this

Dick and I met in college. I was a‘ways rather and shy and he, a very extrovert young man, sought me out. We went to-' gather for about a year before we His ﬁriends on campus had the most money, nicest: clothes and most caireftree person- ality. My friends were the serious girls who had few clothes, little money and believed we had to work for what we. got.

Now we live -in my husband’: home town. He is trying to get launched in a Business of his own and -I help eight. hours daily as this he can at- ford paid. help.

We belong to the country dlulb. When we go to dinners or dances there, we go a1one—-and ﬁrom the momenltwveamnl-ve,Ibeglntoget very nervous. I tag along after Dick; stick to him like a lee-cli; and the longer I stay, the more like an outcast I feel. The other wives are all g-roupted together, talking gaily. None of them in- vites me in; in fgctt they don't seemtoseemeatall—a.ndI don’tf-eelIca:nbvur.sti1i. . .. WEARS MARTYRED AIR

Now I avoid the clulb, and Dick spends most of his spare time there, playing golf. H; wears a mostmacrtytredaii-lfIdon’tgo to the dinners and such with him. His sister is one of the socialites of the town. . . .

After some special event at the club,whtenIfeelt3hattIaimn complete social failure, I am mis- erable for weeks and pick at Dick trying to make him miserable, too. He is out of sympathy with me in the matter, and usually makes me feel more miser- able. . . .

I want to be accepted, liked and respected by his friends; but we arenﬂt invited to private part- ies in their homes. I see them only when we go to the club. I feel that I am holding my hus- band back socially. llf only I could ooiitrol my nervousness, and be calm and poised in the face of their seeming indiffer- ence, I think.

lget on a friendly footing with the ‘country club set. But maybe you

bore her, and annoy and alienate her, with your dreary timidity an-d shyness, and rigid assump- tion that others must build a bridge to you socially.

Maybe she feels, disapprov- ingly, that you are a millstone around your husband’s neck, with your helpless air of misery, in sit u a t i o ll s where you aren’t treated well. Because let’s be frank, the country club set is treating you badly.

As to why they are freezing you ou-t—well, it’s a small town (I see by the postmark) and you aren’t a native. Obviously Dick married a stranger to their crowd, and a girl on I different wave length besides — a stiififly serious sort, not gregarious.

Maybe somebody in the wives‘ group had years ago marked Dick for her own, and feels cheated. Maybe she is knifiug you vengefully, with the tacit support of provincial cronies, who haven't the social grace or real sophistication to be hospitable to the stranger in their midst.

burden at Dick. And don't shrink into as hell, in fear of humilia- tion.

Very likely the country club set isii’t your kind of people. If you could freely choose bosom friends you probably wouldn’t choose them. It may be a case of “oil and water won’.t mix.” So don't hang your head in shame be- cause they are primitively rude. 'I‘hat’.s their shortcomintg, not yours.

Rather, find your own ﬂeet, and stand on them. Enlist psychiatric help in storing up your self-es- teem, and getting solidly poised on a bedrock foundation of self- knowledge and self - acceptance. Then branch out on your own in- itiative, to make friends in the community who share your real interests. Don't rush at the job. Take it in stride, as a lifetime project. M.H.
