Tailored Suits Return
For Fall Wardrobes
By GAILE DUGAS
NF.A Wnmfn', Eriltnr
Most significant highlight of: just at the waistline; share top
the fall suit picture is the return! billing with the Moused jacket.
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.
In any case, there's no drastic
change.

Two Home From Kappa
Mrs. Wayne Akers Has returned
to Eugene from attending the
40th biennial convention of Kap
pa Kappa Gamma fraternity at
Jasper Park, Alberta, Canada.
Mrs. Akers and Mrs. Alva Twohy,
housemother at the chapter house
on University of Oregon campus,
were the two official delegates of
Eugene Alumnae Assn. at the
convention, which was June 24
July 1.
The Eugene Alumnae Assn.
was one of four awarded honor
able mention for general excel
lence for groups of less than 100
members.
Eighty-two college chapters in
the United States and Canada and
more than 100 alumnae groups
sent delegates to the convention.
The women's fraternity reporte'd-
ly is cnieity concerned with the
education of young women. Each

graduate fellowships and foreign
study grants are made. This year's
Convention in Canada
foreign student grant will be
awarded to a Korean woman to
study in the United States.
Kappa Kappa Gamma Rehabili
tation Services are maintained
for aiding 300 local community
needs by the organized alumnae
groups. This is purely volunteer
work and each group does what
is needed most in its community.
Moths Thrive
On Soiled Fabrics
Clean fabrics are not fouid on
a moth's menu. Dirty, dusty ma
terials are the favorite foods of
this well-known insect who thrives
in the summer months. Fabrics
which have been laundered do not
whet Mr. Moth's appetite, and
laundries today mothproof wool
ens such as blankets and pack
them in cellophane or pliofilm
bags for, safe, clean summer
storage.
