Nil?" - I si Hosiery Has Become More Than A Covering For Legs m t. suk j THE DISCRIMINATING TOUCH of elegance and fashion with superb craftsmanship in a mid-heel, creation by Caressa is shown obove. The matching handbag is by Theodore. Handbag and shoes, in copper jubilee patent, are both an exclusive of Gimre's Shoe Store. Hosiery is an integral part of the coordinated fashion picture this fall. And the big news is texture for daytime, sexy by night. Legs that haven't worn textured stockings since they skipped to school will be clad this year in cable knits, in ribbed knits, in two tones and colors, ranging from heavy country-in-the-city weights to lighter stretchy seamless, but always thickly textured to coord inate with the sportive look that has swept the fashion field like an avalanche. For wear with tweed suits, for example, there are fuzzy mohairs, snowflake patterns, tweedy knits and stripes, as well as the classic ribs and cables. And added to the wide range of choice this fall are new tights and panty-hose, knee-highs and thigh- highs, in wild and wonderful col ors and weaves that add an ex citing, fresh new look to the over all hosiery picture. Some knee-highs go Oliverish, narrow ribbed and cuffed, copied from the English school boy and giving a real snap to boyish, vest ed suits for casual wear. Fall Robes Star In Exciting Galaxy Of Style And Fabric And with the skinny, slinky blacks that are so important in the fall fashion picture after five, there are even more Femme Fatale looks. Jet blacks and charcoals are the major colors for this mood, with jewelled clocks and butterflies, jet ornaments, tailored clocks and col ored clocks to add sparkle after dark. Another sophisticated way with hose, for either day or evening, will be the new lacy mesh stretch leotards, almost like dancer's tights that make the legs look utterly ravishing and beautiful. Added benefits with these mesh es in dark colors, is their slim ming effect on legs that are a little heavy. And even the woman who has discovered the comfort of support hose for busy legs will find de lightful new really sheer sheers just recently made possible by new textile developments and weaves. So no matter how you want to look this fall, sportive or sexy, there are interesting and truly ex citing new stockings to fit your costume and your mood.

'Easy Mobility' Fashion Keynote "Easy mobility", ... that is the keynote of the new suits. Ap propriate in town, perfect for trav el, a well-groomed look for the suburbs that fashionable suburban ites have long advocated. New fabrics tie in perfectly.

Sleeves are standouts, newly important, long and lovely. For little furs, the shorter sleeve shows up but adds shapely width example, a chincilla jacket with bubble sleeves. Tall-crowned fedoras take prece dence, some chin-strapped, some with interesting stitching details, some even foldable, but all giving the wearer an irresistable dash and nonchalance. The Garbo slouch is back, too, with its glamour and mystery, so provocative with the deeply curv ing brim, so very flattering to al most every face. And never have turbans been so rich, so opulent, as they are this year for late - day - in - to - eve ning wear.

Supporting a growing love affair between the American woman and garments of leather, fur and bulky fabrics are mid-heeled, beautifully textured leather boots, pumps, moccasins and oxfords. Leather sports even more sur face treatments for fall, reports Shoe Fashion Service of America. Brushed or crushed, smooth or suede, fine or heavily grained, leather textures spell out the new look in shoes whether you call it suburban, sportive, country or casual. corned by today's many younger than-evcr mothers. Equally welcome is the news that maternity wear is turning away from "discreet" and often dull colorings, toward the cur rently fashionable hues. Leading reds such as cranberry, hounds tooth checks and bold plaids, as well as soft browns, charcoal grays, menswear stripes and her ringbones, brighten waiting days. For the variety that a waiting wardrobe needs, maternity wear adopts autumn's layered look. Most smocks and jumpers are made to be worn with other fashion ingre- shirt-drcsses, shirts. Soft Leather Boots Girls' Best Friends For school or play, the ankle high or higher leather boot is a girl's best friend. Soft, light and pretty on the foot, the "sportive" leather boot gives her a sense of fashion while it protects her in changeable fall weather. As popular with little girls as with their teen sisters and mothers, leather boots come in every height to set off bright plaid skirts or long slim pants. At the low end of the scale is the bootlet with a high-rising tongue, one or two-eyelet tie and soft brushed or grained leather. The bootlet is as low in back as the oxford. The next size boot which reaches' for the ankle but doesn't quite make it is higher in back too and often has a folded cuff in a dif ferent shade or texture- of leather. The high boot with its natural wool shearling lining, leather sole and over-the ankle topline is an all-weather shoe. CHARMING REPTILES Reptile-charming is part of the art of fall fashion, as accessories utilize alligator and lizard, real or fake, for everything from shoes and handbags to jewelry and little vests. Standard-bearer of the suburban look is the leather boot, higher and handsomer than ever. In smooth, grained, brushed and waxy leath ers, the boot and its sister, the boot shoe, belong everywhere at home, outdoors, shopping, partying. Shearling lined, it's a buffer against wintry blasts. Lined in smooth leather, boots and demi boots brave the dements or relax indoors with equal comfort and grace. Among style features bringing great variation to the boot look are angled toplines, buckle-and-strap treatments, gored inserts, textures and colors. Leather demi boots, ending just at the ankle, come cuff-appliqucd, or laced up front or sides. 1 For daytime, footwear is as di verting as it is diverse. There are pert waxy leather moccasini; smooth leather spectator pumps, sprinkled with perforations; and grained leather ghillie-tics. These team up perfectly with plaids, tweeds, ghillio-ties and other ver sions of the suburban look. . Heels Are Mid High Dress shoes travel' down two paths. One group reflects the in fluence of the casual shoe in its construction and detailing. A more traditional feminine feeling is ex pressed in the second group, with cutouts, straps, stripping and up front detailing such as buckles and high-rising tongues. Here the shal low silhouette predominates, with lowered sides and back-part. ' Whether the treatment is casual or conventional, heels on dress shoes tend to mid-height, either set hack or curved. Favored finish es include smooth, suede, luster and patent leather and reptile. Shoe colors suggest earth, stone and woods. Browns and tans are important in all finishes, from honey shades through warm medi um browns to the reddish brown called "Bitters." Darkened greens and reds arc widely used, and mus tard, dashed with brown or green, is new in smooth and brushed leather and reptile. Leather ncutrnls on the order of putty, fawn and gray-green add subtle fashion accents to colorful fall costumes.
