DOZENS AND DOZENS OF BUTTONS
INVADE THE REALM OF THE BLOUSE
f~\NE, two, three buttons, four, live,
six buttons, seven—anyway but-
tons by the dozens and dozens have ar-
rived ou the scene. Looks as if it’s
going to be. a case of “buttons all over
’em” for the new frocks and coats
nnd the blouse.
Trimming with buttons is becoming
as fascinating a pastime for the de-
signer as a game of backgammon or
bridge - is for the smart set. It is not
«<nly that buttons are being used in a
utilitarian way for the very chic sm-
gle-brensted and double-breasted fas-
tenings, for buttons as ornate ns the
occasion permits are positioned In
most designful ways.
One among many evidences of the
’rogue for buttons, is the blouse which
buttons up the front, after the manner
of the handsome model shown in the
picture. The biitlon-iip-tho-front Mouse
is apt to be developed of almost any
material, satin, crepe or rafi'eta. it
is especially charming when made of
(ace with glittering glass or rhine-
stone lint tons running up and dowt
the front.
Of course this matter of the hi mis*
which buttons In a single row down
the front is only one aspect of Uu
mode. Boltons placed in unusual
ways distinguish Uds season’s Mouse
fashions. Note the clever little blouse
in the inset. A diagonal slant for but-
tons is a favored treatment.
Waistcoats and mannish vests which
have two rows of buttons in double-
breasted fashion, reghtter among styles
in the blouse reulm. With the spring
suit they are quite the correct thing.
Mother-of-pearl buttons are used
not only In the natural color, but in
ones to match or hnrmonlze with the
costume or to accent a direct con-
trast. Large glass buttons uiso fre-
quently ado a touch of color. Many
of the new print frocks are enlivened
with either pearl or glass buttons in
complementary colors.

| Hard times frighten your
| competitors. And their sales-
t people are licked before they
t.
| start because the “boss” is blue.
I .
| But it’s an ill wind that blows
$ nobody good. If a business de-
li pression makes your competi-
| tors lie down, then business de-
pression is an opportunity for
you.
The right sort of business
man tries to turn obstacles into
opportunities—and hard times
are no exception.
You have the store. You
have your salespeople. Add to
these the vitalizing power of
newspaper advertising and you
have a time-tested formula for
turning hard times into good
times.
