* J WOMAN'S WORLD Neighbors W ill W a n t Collar Fashions Rule New Fall Clothes By Erttd Haley •PIIR H E ARE MANY change« but lew upieta In the foil und win ter fashion picture, advance pre view« Indicate, Your Inst year'« wardrobe w ill not look outlandish, but you may find yourself wishing for the new basic slimness that new clothes show, as well as some of the new neckline Interest. Skirt lengths, too, are some thing women alwuys ask about first when talk gets around to new clothes Hems for fall ore going up an Inch or two, but It should always be remembered that smayt designers and wise women Insist that the woman wear the length best suited to each Individual Favored length Is fourteen Inches from ground. As you see the new clothes, you'll be Impressed with the lack of trim m ing used on them tor the very simple reason that so much Interest Is centered on fabrics. Decor Is provided mostly by but tons or Interesting pockets. Fabric dominates every costume becuuse so mnny lovely new mate rials are now available, and so much can be done with each one os well ns a combination of two of them. m Youth, Movement Are Reflected In New Silhouette Slenderness and movement, youth and grace might all be used to describe the currently populur silhouette. This does not mean that Set of These Shelves and shoulder lines. You’ll be seeing large collars of arresting shapes everywhere on suits, dresses, coats and evening gowns. Forward fly ing collars und big, pointed cuffs give the clothes the movement for which the silhouette Is distin guished. Normal shoulders are still fash Ion-wise, but that doesn't mean they look poor or droopy. The secret of the new and exciting line is the "ris in g ” shoulder line, an optical illusion made by flanges and points shooting up from the bodice. Bias-cut shoulder folds and draped halter necklines w ill be popular. Other bodice Interests include high-laced, out-curving pockets, bows, points and twists of fabric. Tuxedo treatments are coming to the fore in the new clothes, as well as the shorter length jackets and young-looking, short, boxy coats. One of the more popular neck line treatments seen thus tar is called the two-way closing neck line which may be buttoned high or left unbuttoned to form a collar. This is seen on both coats and dresses. Benzedrine Banned If you’re buying a bag now, you'll want to choose one which will serve you In the fall, too. A revival which will serve you Just as well now as later is the beaded bag or the metal mesh hag that gives a beaded effect. There’s newness In their soft, crushed look that looks equally well w i t h summery print dresses or th e semi-dark dresses which you’ll be choos ing for fall. Another trick which you’ll appreciate for two-season use Is the black bag which Is touched with white in place of all-white bags of the earlier summer. KATHLEEN NORRIS Leopard Doesn't Change Spots t n i l Y DO HUSBANDS, so often, ” after marriage, want to change the women they found so complete ly perfect in pre-marriage days? And why do so many engaged girls speak with assurance of the alter ations they expect to make in their mates, once they are sure of them? Early m arried life consists, for such couples, in an unending war between D ick’s preconceived ideas of what a wife should be. and Betty-Lou’ s i r o n determination that he shall abandon all his old ways, friends, amusements, in terests. Whatever threatens successful marriage is of vital national impor tancc in these domestically-shaken days, and this is one of the most serious threats. It seems to me that any mother or father who wants the future of a daughter or son to be somewhat secure, could do worse than warn that daughter or son of this particular danger. Here are some quotations from the letters of two June brides of 1M7; one written from Montreal, one from Tuscon, Arizona, and both with the same com plaint T H E HALT of America's new A dope craze when manufactur ers withdrew benzedrine inhalers from the m arket was the culmina tion of a long publicity campaign by Drew Pearson. W o r k in g with Congressman George Grant of Montgomery, Ala., Pearson published a series of col umns and broadcasts beginning last February, which pointed to the manner In which prison inmates, dope addicts and even high-school children were tearing the benze. drine-treated paper from the in halers and using it as a cheap dope. Simultaneously, Rep. Grant introduced a b ill banning the in halers. Final result came when manu facturers stopped the sale of ben zedrine inhalers. Instead they w ill sell benzedrex, a new inhaler con taining a non-stimulating con.- pound.
