CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE iit Country Fair at Oak Brook Club ay Women's Unit Hears Story of War Fund Aims Look Forward iJi iF ir) Akt? no V'-J'Ws Newest Gloves Harmonize with Dress Fashions BY REA SEEGER Decorative handwork, such a fagoting, leather lacing, corde embroidery, and contrasting appliqu motifs makes the newest fall gloves unusually feminine and gives them a dressmaker look that harmonizes with the first dress fashions. Most of them are the long pull-on variety. They are worn wrinkled thickly, around the wrists and can be worn over dress sleeve, suit jacket, or coat cuff, since the cuff sections of the gloves are unusual in shape and width. Soft suedes, slightly thicker than heavy satin or soft velvet, ar used for the gloves in two and sometimes three colors which ar cleverly combined in decorative motifs and then sewed together witfi a fagot stitch or with one color ap pliqued onto the others. The scroll patterned cuffs have cavalier romanticism, having been copied from the hunting and riding" gloves of members of the French courts of the Louis period.

Powder blue with brown, cerise with navy or with brown, gold with brown, and ivory with deep brown are a hint of what you'll find in th newest glove collections. Nearly all have been designed for afternoon dresses and early fall suits with fur trim. Heavily embroidered gloves of fine, smooth kid or suede easily double for afternoon or evening wear, with plenty of soft beige shades also featuring this newer, more decorative trim. However, since many women still prefer fine glace leather, slipons of this smooth kidskin worked with the same sort of dressmaker details provide an excellent alternate choice. These, too, have the effective embroidery and hand stitchery that achieves such a distinctive fern- IfML ML to Pony and Pet Looking at Hedda A oR'' fx fx90im I Kp, ii'vi Miss Dona Jo Curran (left) and her mother, Mrs.

BY HARRIETT PRIBBLE Two hundred workers of the women's special gifts division of the Community and War Fund left the Grand ballroom of the Drake hotel following yesterday's luncheon re solved to fill their personal quotas toward raising the committee's goal of $330,000 before the general cam paign opens Oct. 1.

The details were explained by Mrs. Otto Madlener, chairman of the division with Mrs. rhilip Block Jr. as co-chairman; Walter P. Paepcke, general chairman of the entire drive, and Robert E.

Coburn, director of the Community and War Fund. But the inspiration was provided by Larry Adler, harmonica virtuoso, said to have given more hours to USO tours overseas than any other entertainer. He sketched an unforgettable picture of the accomplishments of that service, one of 187 charities and other war agencies supported Ly the fund. Mr. Adler told of taking part in a USO show in New Guinea which 7,500 service men had sat thru six hours of torrential rains to see, armed with two sets of rations The feminine performers, he said, had to be carried thru the downpour from their tents to the stage to protect their evening gowns.

Both Gen. MacArthur and Gen. Eisenhower told Mr. Adler when he met them on separate occasions that the USO shows were an invaluable link with home for the men overseas. According to its directors, the current campaign will be the last federated drive of the Community and War Fund, and the contributions collected this fall must cover a pe riod of 15 months, extending thru Dec.

31, 1946. Increased operating costs for the charities supported and the great numbers of service personnel remaining overseas who must be given recreation are two other factors which figure strongly in the fund's overall goal of 040,700.

She was too run down. Bette Davis' next will be "One Man's Street" by Rita Weiman. Charles Laughton's classic remark to Helen Broderlck while rehearsing "Because of Him" is worth repeating. She asked him why he always dropped his suspenders while rehearsing. Said Charles, "It's just like you women letting your hair down."

Charles Kemper wishes that Fritz Lang wouldn't be so realistic. Charley had to do a guzzling scene in "Scarlet Street." Usually you get only cold tea to guzzle on the screen.

A little more than a year ago she left Chicago for Texas by train end then took a plane for Balboa. Thus, Chicago-born Virginia Pochelski winged her way to a new and exciting career. The job in engineering In the Canal Zone came about this way: While Virginia was taking regular college work she became interested in a government-sponsored summer course in drafting, engineering materials, and production methods. It was a 15 week intensive course given at Illinois Institute of Technology. At first she wasn't certain she had any aptitude for such technical training, but she was good in math and had a flair for drawing.

By the end of the course she found herself well advanced toward being a lady engineer." For a while she worked in Chicago as draftsman for a valve manufacturing company taking evening courses in metallurgy on the side, until the day she noticed a story in the White Collar Girl column about a Chicago girl who went to the Canal Zone in engineering work. It was a tempting tale! Remembering it, Virginia seized the next opportunity that came her way, packed a bulging suit case, and was Balboa-bound. And Steakt! Recently she has been home for a visit with her family but she leaves today for Balboa, where the girls go to work in informal cottons, stockings are a thing of the past, where the "Panama tan never fades, the moons are beautiful, and steaks are inches thick!" Awaiting her is her job in topography and a cool furnished apartment which she shares with another white collar girl and awaiting her Is a small pet, called a gato-solo a curious little animal with an unquenchable thirst for soft drinks.

There a restaurant is available, also a soda fountain, movie theater, bowling center, and a billiard room for their amusement. Life in the Canal Zone is not Another Chrittmat One of the pleasures, Virginia tells. Is swimming on Christmas day, a beautiful, warm day that makes 'an improvised Christmas tree seem strange indeed.

John Davidson, Rosina Galli, and Fred Essler. Presented at the Chicago. By Mae Tinee The boys were really having fun with the history book when they concocted this number, and the results draw a good many giggles from the audience. Fred MacMurray does another of his excellent portrayals in the part of an ordinary guy Bill Morgan, with the normal amount of clum siness and shyness, who, try as he will, can't eet into uniform. No branch of service will have him, and because he's big and husky looking, altho 4-F, he's pretty uncomfortable in his civvies.

The fact that the cute trick he adores June Haver spends all her time working on the morale of any man in uniform Hoesn't help a bit, so Bill is dolefully conducting a scrap drie, explaining why he's not in service, and washing dishes at the U. S. O. the last is a very funny sequence; when he washes dishes he stops at nothing! Joan Leslie is the girl who's happy to help swing a dish mop in Bill's company, but unfortunately she reminds him of his sister. Things are most unsatisfactory until the luckless hero rubs an old lamp in the scrap heap, and out pops a genial little genie.

The genie has a gadget which enables him to grant wishes, and when Bill says he'd like to be in the army presto! he's in. Unfortunately the genie's period fixer is out of whack, and the army George Washington's. Volun teering as a spy, Bill talks too much and ends up against a stone wall with a rifle squad facing him, but the late resident of the bottle comes to his rescue by transferring him to the navy, which Bill feels might be more comfortable. However, the time gadget is still off, and Bill goes back a couple of centuries and finds himself one of Christopher Columbus' crew. He talks the boys out of trouble by enumerating what will' be missed if good old America isn't discovered.

This sequence is done in operatic fashion, and some of the lyrics are pretty neat. The next stop is Manhattan, but the Indians sell it to him, which leads to further adventures, all silly. The faithful maiden and the glamor girl run true to form in all the various periods. It's fairly sophisticated nonsense, but it's a pretty big dose. The musical and dance sequences frequently seem superfluous, but Mac- Murray can carry a lot on his broad shoulders, and because of his performance it's not bad for light fare.

If you think there's even a slender chance that your soldier overseas may still be there when Christmas rolls around you'd better do your mailing right now. If he's in transit during the holiday season chances are the boxes may never catch up to him, or if they do, will be as battered as Berlin. Let him get them in his own hands as early as possible so he'll have them, np matter where he is on the big day. Remember, too, that thht will be the most trying Christmas he's ever had if he's stuck over there; restlessness and loneliness will reach new heights among the men who are just waiting to be shipped. So make your gifts gay.

The postoffice will be glad to accept them before the deadline, which is Oct. 1 for gifts to be mailed to the Pacific and CBI areas, Oct. 15 for the European bases.
