Ship Theme Used For Bridal Shower Miss Joyce (Joy) Mae Holmes of Portland, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Holmes of Eugene, was honored Monday evening with a bridal shower at the home of Mrs. B. M.

Miss Holmes ,a Eugene High School graduate, has lived in Portland for the last five years, where she has attended Portland University and has taught piano. She is engaged to Robert Hughitt, who is stationed with Ihe United States Navy at Moffott Field, Calif. The Bond home represented "Ship of Matrimony", for the shower party and was decorated with lifesavers, anchors, rope, and other items characteristic of a ship. Guests were assigned positions aboard ship as they ar rived and were pinned with an anchor giving the title of that position such as captain, purser, mate, engineer, chief cook, etc. The honored guest and her mo ther, Mrs. W. F. Holmes, and Mrs. Claude Nadeau, mother of Miss Holmes' fiance, each was presented with a corsage. Refreshments were served and games were played in keeping with the ship theme. The guest then was presented with gifts from friends and relatives, some of whom were unable to attend. The gifts were presented by Den nis and Richard Bond, dressed in sailor suits.

LOOK THIS WAY LADIES (AND Gentlemen Will) PLAID plus PIQUE of the tailored suit, the man- inspired influence that's felt in coats as well. This comeback of the tailleur is a near-paradox in that this is a year in which fashion is charac terized by soft, easy lines and a true femininity. The tailleur, therefore, gets 'gentle handling. Designers have used pin-slriped flannels and satin-faced broad cloth for this suit and particular ly like showing it in black, brown and oxford gray. The very lightweight suit (feather-weight tweed), box and semi-fitted box suit and the bloused suit create fashion fire works this year. Nettie Rosen stein favors the boxy suit but gives it easy lines. Tweeds, im portant in all collections for coats, suits and dresses, are soft and light in this fall's suits. These are ideal for wear under coats and many have been de signed with companion coats. Very short jackets, cropped Designer Claire McCardell likes this brief jacket set off by skirt in contrasting color. Blousing is always at the back with a smooth front and belt below the blous ing. This is an easy, graceful line typical of fall fashions. Shoulder lines in all fall suits are narrower and natural. This includes the tailleur, made femi nine by hand-picked edges and shawl collars. Cut-away suits that copy a man's dinner jacket, the corselet suit and the waistcoat suit - are dressy for town. These follow a slim and molded silhouette, sometimes have gracefully pleat ed skirts. Skirt lengths, incidentally, are about 14 inches in most collec tions. But generally, designers feel that American women will continue to wear the length most individually becoming to them.
