Plaids are the fashion for the
whole family this year. So it's only
to be expected that the very, young
lady of the house will be wearing
them too and wearing them more
charmingly and prettily than any
one else in the family!
: . Skirts, jumpers and ,tiny little
suits are all being made in color
ful clan 'plaids. Many of them
feature all-around pleated, skirts
and in most, the pleats are stitch-ed-in
so that the skirts stay trim
and neat no matter how energetic
the young lady's play. In many of
these 'suits, a demure bonnet or
Scotch' cap in a matching plaid
gives that extra touch of style.-
For birthday and other special
occasions, the plaid theme appears,
in diminutive little party dresses of
crisp rayon taffeta. Some have
. lace collars, some have smocking
across the shoulders and a few pert
little dresses come with tiny plaid
panties to match. .
A dress ust like mother's is
always a. favorite with the three-to-six-year-old,
so Mother-and-Daughter
combinations are another
popular style in d re-school fash-
Ions this year. One style that looks
particularly nice is the trim jum
per and blouse.
Bright young colors and fashions
are a natural compliment to bright
young faces. And your p re-school
daughter will be as pretty and
comfortable as can be in this fall's
. tiny fashion offerings.

Shoes More Important Than
Ever for 1950 Autumn Outfit
With skirt lengths inching up and
legs on view again, shoes are a
more important part of the fashion
picture than ever before.
The trend is toward simple fem
inine pumps with very low-cut
vamps often following D'Orsay
lines. These naked - looking shoesi
are nearly always closed although
there is an occasional open toe or
heel, never both at once in the
same shoe, i
New Trims '
Silk braid -and beading are the
favorite ornamentation of shoe de
signers this season, says the Na
tional Shoe Institute.
New tailored and walking and
suit shoes feature built-up leather
heels, walled lasts and extension
soles usually with closed toes,
which are comfortable with the
roomy walled-last construction.

Argyles Back on
Top of Demand
Sweaters and hose are being
matched up more than ever in re
cent years,- marking a trend re
miniscent of the all-Argyle craze
of the Twenties, with Argyle hose,
of course, riding high on the crest
of the plaid trend.
The long-sleeve V-neck sweater,
as usual, continued popular.
Boldly patterned . ski sweaters,
picturing everything from pine
trees and skiers to abstract designs
will be popular on the slopes this
year and some of the sweaters
come with matching wool stocking
caps with pompoms on top, gay
reminders of childhood types.
T-shirts are mostly woolen or
heavy cotton for this season and
are for the most part, in solid
solors.
FABRIC-FURS FUN
Today's siren'doesn't lounge on
a leopard skin; she wears it! Fab
rics spotted, brushed and crimped
to look like fur are featured in
belts, skirts, bags, jackets and
capes. Beaver, moleskin, zebra and
curly lamb appear in faithful re
production, as well as light, bright
unzoological colors. . 1

nose. Fill in the triangle lightly,
and blend it in so that you cant
see where it begins or ends.
The same color rules for your
foundation apply to your powder.
A clean puff or cotton pad is also
essential. Pat the powder onto
each cheek, the forehead, the chin
and the nose. This gives a more
natural appearance and makes
replenishing less frequent.
When applying lipstick, follow
the reneral contours of your lips,
beginning- in the middle of the
upper lip and working toward
the corners- far enough so there'll
be m naked spot whea yea smile.
Then fill in, and press yenr lips
together to carry some of the
color to the lower Up. Smooth out
the upper Up with year little fin
ger, and as a final -measure blot
of fany excess on a cleansing tis
sue. - Aa the finishing touch, a bit af
mascara will make your lashes
look darker and heavier, and a
bit af llqaefying cream an the
eyelids will brighten the eyes.
Platform soles are as thin as
possible, between one-eighth and
one-quarter of an inch in thick
ness. Velvet Pumps '
Carrying over from late summer
wear with prints into fall is al
most everybody's candidate for the
prettiest daytime dress -up and
party shoe, the black velvet pump.
The "velvet touch" is high fashion
in all accessories for autumn, glo
ves, bags, scarfs and little hats as
well as shoes.
The color story in fall shoes re
flects the color notes in dresses,
coats and suits. Wine will replace
bright red to a large extent Navy,
now an all-year-round color, will
be runner-up to black and the fa
shionable near-black browns and
charcoal greys.
