Modern Screen (Jul-Dec 1945)

WW -?jr&j9y — Sunnyfe Washday ABC's "The class will come to order, please," Says Sunny to her scholars. "Today we'll learn how Linit starch Will save you time and dollars. Now watch me, children, while I wash And rinse and starch and press. You'll see how cotton, Linit starched, Ix>oks like a linen dress. To half a cup of water, cold, Add half a cup of Linit And then two quarts of water, hot, Is just enough to thin it. Shirts and sheets and curtains, too, When starched the Linit way, Will iron like a summer breeze And clean much longer stay." grey_green-and-white houndstooth check. Zippered of placket, slick of fit, their good clean lines make them nattering even to the gals on whom a pair of short shorts is a minor catastrophe. Prices: Blazer about $15. Pedalpushers about $9. Sweatei about $4. Belt by Criterion. Slick slacks: Find a pair of slacks that the guys approve of, and you've got something. Which is why we're so proud of ourselves for uncovering these magnificent beige wool gabardine jobs. These get the nod — not to mention the old eye — from the boys. The Korday tailoring is what sets them apart, makes 'em slick where run-of-the-mill ones are slack, makes 'em flatten you where most slacks fatten you. To work in, to play in, to loaf in, these are your babies. Wear them with our beige shirt in Crown-Tested washable "Tattertooth," a kitten soft fabric in a tiny check. To accentuate that ring-size waistline, add a narrow brown calfskin belt by Criterion. Prices: Shirt about $5. Slacks about $11. Lassie: Brighten up the Chem lab, the office, or your own cozy fireside in our pet shirt 'n' skirt combination. Smart as a quiz kid, flattering as your first corsage, it's an outfit you'll take to your heart. The black shirt of soft, soft Arlingcrest flannel is man-tailored, with hard-to-find two button cuffs, an easy fitting action back. The all-wool kiltie skirt in a soft red-green-black-and-white plaid is cut along generous, practically pre-war lines. We love the trimming of fringe, you'll love the look in his eye the first time he sees it. Nope, every time he sees it. Shirt and skirt about $8 each. Wonder suit: This angel of a suit is at home in the world. It's sophisticated enough for a junior executive, naive enough for an Andy Russell fan. It is all things to all gals — which is a lot of suit, don't you think? It comes in a warm pussywillow gray in Merrimac Cordwale. and it is cut as only Korday can cut a suit. Soft natural shoulders, nipped-in waist six-gored skirt. None of the earmarks of a good suit have been by-passed: viz. the carefully sewed-in lining, the stunning leather ball buttons, the flat, well-turned lapels and the zippered placket. It's a suit your man will love, one you'll live in this year and next year and the one after that. Prices: Jacket about $11. Skirt about $6. The darling Mandarin collared blouse is by Vicki Lynn— it's a butterfly print and its tiny price is abouv '$3. Stunning red belt by Criterion. All the fashion pages we've ever done for you have been fun, but this month's was a hunk of heaven, because everything we found was so impossibly perfect. No reprocessed wools, or buttoned plackets or skimpy wartime jackets. Everything the Korday people showed us had a milliondollar look about it. We hope they give vou the same sort of thrill.
