Then there are new clothes to see and to buy, new trends to sense and savor, new colors to lift your spirits high, delight ful new wools to love and cher ish! Spring wools tell an especial ly exciting and lovely story both in fabrics and fashion. There's news in many cloud-light, even gossamer weaves and weights in wools fashioned into dresses, costumes, suits, also airy mesh es in coats. There are changes In styling, too, not drastic enough to out-date your present wardrobe, but sufficiently new to stimulate your appetite for Spring, 1962. The newsiest trend in wools and worsteds is in the light and airy constructions, which have been called "the naked wools", truly year-around weights that may be worn comfortably under coats or with small furs on cool er days and most pleasantly even in mid summer. Their open weaves admit the air, the natural absorbency of wool eliminates any damp or sticky feeling, its resilience keeps clothing looking fresh and unwrinkled. There are weights from nun's veiling, about 3'k oz. to the yard, through worsted voiles, various leno or meshy Annual Dinner Planned By Five Service Clubs The annual combined dinner of the five service clubs for women of Eugene and Spring field has been set for Monday evening, Jan. 29, and will be in wmw!iwj!)i''a r V1" MRS.

The story of changes in shapes is one of variety, indeed. One important trend is to skirts with hemline width that ema nates gently from a low hipline, well liked in both dresses and suits. Gored skirts that swirl low into moderate width look new; unpressed pleats continue; the trend to eased fullness at the waistline of slim dresses and suits also continue. Rising waistlines increase in importance in coats, suits and dresses, ranging all the way from the true princess to very slight suggestions achieved through manipulations of the fabric, stitching, especially slot seaming, dartings. Waistlines tend to come clos er to the figure, some actually fitted. Not a few still have the figure-skimming look, notably in real and simulated two-piece styles which are of considerable interest for the new season, the yl-jJi4 II im.iiimii rir i nn Y r r il lK i ' i?'".
