and woolens of many textures all
predict the casual, accented with

ness to this tailored fabric-
- Sheers will be seen in two-color
blouses, sometimes a light tone on
a dark tone; other times In con
trasting fall '50 colors.
The dress-up and" classic suit
blouse fabrics, such as rayon cre
pe, tissue faille, nylon crepe and
tricot sheer are easily tubbed at
home this year and will appear in
a myriad of colors, from delicate
pastels through sophisticated deep
tones. Many of the nylon crepe and
tricot sheer blouses will be styled
with tucked and frilled fronts
making them, especially good for
wear with the new lower-cut neck
lines on suits and jumpers.
Interesting to note on the ma
jority of this fall's blouses is the
variety and newness of the trim.
Ribbing, already mentioned for
use with wool jersey, is foremost
among the. unusual trims. Braid,
. insets worked in novel and tailor
ed ways, ribbon used as " edging,
bows and stripes, self appliques,
many, many buttons and antique
jewels are just a few of the many
blouse trims being introduced for
wear this fall.
Choose your furs. Select the "lit
tle pieces"; the muffs and the stoles
and the capes that lend sucn great
elegance to your every costume. Or
make yours one of the shorter
leneth. narrow-in-line coats oi
heavenly midnight blue Persian
Lamb with sleeves that pushup to
reveal dramatic up-to-the-elbow-and
- then - some crushed gloves,
with a lining in burnt orange con
trast to the blue of your coat.
Eveninr Searates
Choose your gala occasion ap
parel with an eye to the "sepa
rates.". Take, for instance, a clan
plaid pure wool floor-length skirt
(in a clan that complements) your
escort s dinner jacket or trousers)
with a linen blouse that carries out
one of the brillant colors in the
plaid of your skirt.
. Choose your country - time
clothes and include sweaters that
are designed as blouses and dryed-to-match
the banker's grey or
I vintage tones of your flannel ar
row-narrow -skirt.
Choose leisure-time wear, again
with: an eye to the "separates."
This time, you want a just-like
real zebra weskit; a vivid green
wool jersey blouse; a tartan plaid
smoking jacket with deep revers
of velvet, and a corduroy skirt
that billows and is in sharp dif
ference to the rest of your fashions
for Fall '50.
Knitted Dresses for
Fall Are Available
In Great Variety
The knitted dress, a favorite for
every hour of the day, is refresh
ingly new this fall in a variety of
novelty knit fabrics and stitches:
Fatfric patterns and unusual trim
mings also add appealing accents.
Plaids, "stripes, checks and twee
dy knitted fabrics plus a galaxy of
silk ribbon, velvet and metallic ny
lon thread are only a few of the
new innovations enlivening knit
ted fashions.
Slim-skirted, battle - jacketed
dresses are predicted to be top
fashion. Other interesting new fa
shion developments are "separ
ates" which may include a knitted
weskit with a knitted suit or a
detachable collar and peplum on a
softening influence to heretofore
severely tailored knitted garments,
are also new for fall '50. "

Horseshoe Neckline
Comes from Paris
'The horseshoe neckline Is the
fashionable curve and here from
Paris for-falL
' Youll find it cuffed for jumpers, I
filled with shirred net for - party
dresses, and bound with revers in
the smartest suits.
'For Juniors, the horseshoe line
is effected by welt outlined yokes
and dresses with button-on bibs.
REMOVE GLUE
To remove ' glue stains from
washable rayon fabrics, soak the
spot in warm water. If it is a
stubborn stain, you may have to
soak it for quite a -while. For
non-washable rayons, sponge the
spot with water, then with vine
gar. Then sponge again with clear
water.
