Colored buttons of glass or wood are good on Net, lace, linen Cotton, silk and rayon Rhinestone buttons on evening gowns will remain ultra-modern Link-button-fasteners are "in" and a smart all-around blouse will be trimmed with them Crystal buttons with a diameter of two to four inches with either a high polish or the natural finish Patriotic buttons-wooden American flag buttons of red, white and blue Odd little buttons of colored glass with floral designs As to the durability of these novelty buttons, it is interesting to note that a large majority of them are washable. The imported buttons as a general rule respond better to careful treatment. If they are washed, lukewarm water and a mild soap are the essentials. When laundering a washable material-covered button, the fact that should be known is whether the foundation of the button will rust after contact with the water. Most buttons on the market today are washable. The few that are not are those made of celluloid, certain wood compositions, and heavy card-board foundations and compositions. The style and novelty added to the dress or outfit by a good looking set of buttons is well worth the consideration of the purchaser when she buys them. A clever new button set can do much for an old dress. April, 1938
