Well, we're not too fond of It, either, nd the lime i true of a lot of women, department (tore ownen say. But the women ARE buying it and it ia being credited with giving Pacific Northwest re tail trade a much needed shot in the arm this pre Easter season. Department itore sales, con trary to a national trend, have been holding at or about at last year'a level. Most sales manag era are bowing with thanks in the direction of dame fashion. Some of the improved samples have resulted from modification! of the original chemise styles, ayi the manager of one large Se attle department store. "Those designera who utayed at their drawing boards this winter instead of lolligagging off to Flor id i for a vacation are the ones who put the style on ita economic feet," he aaid. "They made those slight altera tions demanded by style and body conscious women, giving line and design where it was needed and taking aome of the monotony out of that long, unbroken drop from shoulder to hemline." Another aaid, "A lot of women come in to look at the chemise, turn away from it and buy some thing else. They want aomething NEW 1958 MERCURY "V-8" CLUB SEDAN Has heater and Jefrettar.

One exception was found to the generally high praise given tiie ef fect of the chemise. It came from a specialty store which deals in merchandise aimed at the higher income men and women. That store thus far has refused even to stock the article, although conceding pressure could eventu ally lorce it uj uu u.

Paymenti are particularly good, the store operators report unanimously, with old accounts in the best shape they have been in months. There is an upswing in credit buying, too, with the cash being used to keep customers up to date. As one store manager puts it: "The average customer is look ing around and deciding he had better get ready for a storm. As a consequence, he is saying to his wife, 'dammit, Mabel, we gotta clean up those old accounts." Apparently they are, too. Clean ing up the old accounts and charg ing a chemise on the new one.
