The golf minded girl may carry a country club course on her back this season if she keeps an eye on new prints manufacturers are introducing. Topping the list is the fairways print ornamented with an entire 18 hole golf course. Designers also draw from sea and sky to offer figured cottons and silks with fish prints and zodiac signs.
Kelly green is widely used by Parisian dressmakers as a color accent in mid season outfits. It is commonly combined with black or with black and white and often appears at the neckline.
Cherie Nicholas notes that fashion today favors dark blouses worn with light suits, pairing navy brown black or red linen tops with plaids to unify the ensemble. The Chicago wholesale market shows this three-fabric trend, matching blouse color to the jacket’s leading shade.
Summer fashion embraces bags that resemble hats. A flat round black straw purse mimics a pancake beret with edge flowers. A bright green straw bag styled as a floppy garden hat hangs from the arm with ribbons, drawing applause.
Federal rules from the Bureau of Navigation and Steamboat Inspection mandate loud speaker warning systems on ships alongside existing alarm bells.

John D. McDougall of Chicago markets relays a tale from A. J. Sundberg of Hillsboro about ripe wheat and a string of odd events.
