GlatheA, Mat (latianed First it was tires and gas, then in quick succession came coffee, sugar, canned foods, and shoes—now the wise ones say clothes may be next on the ration list—c’est la guerre! But from the wealth of wearables we’ve seen lined up for spring and summer, we think the women will at least have a wide range from which to choose their new outfits. By MARGE CURTIS Lines are simple and tailored. Gone are the unnecessary pock ets, the wide revers and extra frills. This is manifest in the shorter, snugger suit jackets and pencil slim skirts which button —no more zippers, mind you— on the side. Slacks alsd have a new slender silhouette, very flat tering to the figure, with shal lower pockets, and dress skirts contain less material, but are made to look full with soft gath ers and unstitched pleats. On the all-star list of new fash ions we include: the pinafore or jumper dress, an up-and-coming style with the younger set which may be worn with white or col ored blouses and T shirts; the baby bonnet and helmet cap which is making history because it flatters and fits like a diving cap. Companion to the pinafore is the apron dress, a simple frock with extra material—the i: the brighter, the better—stitched on in front like an apron. Cotton for formals has our o.k. because it boasts the essential features of conservation, versa tility, and easy care. Watch for the new glazed chintz dresses which are leading the parade. Gray is seen everywhere nowa days. It fills the bill in suits, slacks, dresses, and hats, is per feet with snowy white and strik ing when combined with lime green, Kelly green, or courageous red. And speaking of colors, what is smarter than a bright red vest over your year-old dress, a pair of green shoes to accent your spring costume, or a lemon yellow liat contrasted with your new suit ? And so, although the fashion parade pays strict attention to Uncle Sam’s new rationing rules, it keeps right in step with style, Suit °i lllllllllllillllilllllllllllllltlllllllllillilliiMllillllililllllillllllllllilinillllllilli? a!llll!in!!!!l!!ll!!llll!!in!!!llillllin!!!lll!!!illll!l!nnlU)iq!i!!n:!!!!linilll!]l!llin!!ll!l!!]IHip Dan Cupid and spring vacati Jn formed a new corporation this year, their major business tran sactions being concerned with en gagements and marriages.
