Paris Fashion Trends Soon to Be Adopted by Milady in the States By Cynthia Lowry AP Newsf eatures Writers PARIS Well, the great Dior has spoken so most people are ready now to express their opin ions on what our own American clothes are going to look like a few months hence. It takes a few months, you know, for Paris "in spiration" to get translated from a custom-made masterpiece into a dress you and I can afford, plus time for us to get our point of view educated to the new mode. You'll probably be hearing quite a bit about what Paris decrees. I think it boils down to only a few things and here's what they are: Generally speaking, Paris dress makers are keeping hemlines around 13 and 14 inches from the floor. Dior, that quiet little man who precipitated the "New Look," has about the shortest skirts of any of them IS and 13 Vi inches from the floor. There are lots of full skirts In all the collections, but on a per centage basis, I'd say that the very slim skirt was the winner. Some of the suit skirts are so slender it's been necessary to slash them so the mannequins can slither about the showrooms. Then, of course, there is the shoulder business and I think that is what's going to make the news. The rarest thing in Paris today, with the possible exception of American coffee, is a shoulder pad. Everybody, from the small est dressmaker to the biggest, has gone back to the natural shoulder line., Jean Desses, the young Greek designer who shot up like a comet a season or so back, has a whole collection based on a side drape he calls a "kite" line and a spiral sort of drape ht calls a "lasso." He has carried these super struc tures up until you find his dress es with winged effects rising from the shoulder, or shooting off to one side. Pierre Balmain also is fooling around with shoulders some times putting a separate strip of material over them or staging effects that carry the eye around to the back, where he often puts a graceful little pouch which most of us decided looked like a pa poose pouch but handsome. Dior has moved shoulder seams off the shoulder to ' somewhere down the arm near the elbow, and then has gone in for all sorts of fancy sleeve effects mostly out size and the effect Is a new up per silhouette. Another thing which everyone refers to as a "trend' Is collars. The inescapable conclusion is that coat collars are going to be very high. From Balmain, whose col lection opened the two weeks' of fashion showings, through Desses, Lanvin, Piquet, Patou, Schiapar- Christmas Packascs lovely as your cifts witli Matching papers tags and scats gay colorful ribbons to Make your packages bring Obs and Ab on Cbristnas ssorniafj xUA t f MUSIC elli, and all the rest, designers show top coats and fur coats with collars that come up, the ears and conceal most of the face. This, of course, means that big hats 'are out. Everyone shows little hats. Some of them fit tight ly like helmets. Others sit square ly on top of the head and heaven alone knows how they are kept on, because short hair is the vogue. Jewelry Is big, glittering and splashy. There are great heavy rings, ropes of fake pearls wound like a collar around the neck, col lars of rhinestones. But, except for rings, there seems to be a tendency to keep away from jewelry until at least tea-time. They are doing Interesting things with gloves. A number of the houses show gloves that are bulky and loose fitting, with square finger-ends. Dior presents gloves of cloth and leather which continue up the arm right to the shoulder, and sometimes uses single one as a sort of sleeve In some of his asymmetrical bodice effects. For evening. youU be Interest ed to know, anything goes as long as it's strapless or has only one strap. As to fabric, velvet Is pop ular, and so are luxurious satins, brocades and wonderful lace and embroideries. And finally, if you really want to startle the local citzenry, Bal main has an idea which we can adopt easily. He figures people have been wearing their corsages and jewels in front too long. So on a large number of his eve ning things, he puts the jewelry and the flowers In back with the logical explanation it will permit girls to make a sensational exit instead of an entrance. r Governor and Mrs. Do arias Mc Kay will leave this afternoon for Seattle and Olympia to spend a few days, Governor McKay to confer with Governors Arthur Langlie and Earl Warren of Cal ifornia. Saturday the McKays will be guests of the Langlies at the Notre Dame-University of Wash ington grid classic in Seattle.

All of which brings up a ques tion of how to iron these fused fabrics. This fusing, which Is a stiffening and at the same time a bonding of different layers of fabrics, is done with a synthetic that is meeted or fused under the application of heat. The fus ed fabrics are laundered in the usual way. according to the de mand of the garment. However, after laundering, no starching? is necessary. Instead th fused fabric is ironed while it is quite damp with consider ably more moisture in it than for ironing either a starched or un starched fabric. In order to achievi the best results, iron from the front point of each side of the collar toward the back, first shaping the collar careful ly. Use about the same heat as you would for a rayon fabric. (Copyright IMS.
