I thought perhaps all our readers would like to see the fore cast for spring so here it is: ABOUT FASHIONS FOR 1959 l.What is the single most im portant fashion change for 1959? The return of the natural waist line. There will be lots of easy waisted clothes around, but the Sherry Lindsay Has Birthday Party Saturday afternoon, Miss Sherry Lindsay entertained on the occasion of her birthday at her home with "sacks" as the theme.

YOUR PATRONAGE cinched waist Get ready for the big wide belts. 2. What fashions from 1958 will continue to be strong in the coming year? The chanel suit is still going strong (straight narrow skirt, short straight jack etbest worn with a soft blouse, plenty of jewelry). High-waisted dresses will continue to be worn simply because slender, small bosomed women look great In them. Wide collars, blouson waists, and touches of Oriental influence. The Walking Suit. 3. Is the chemise completely dead? Yes. 4. What kind of figure will be best for the 1959 clothes? The tall slender figure is still the best "clothes shape" but the gaunt look Is out. Small waists and slightly rounded hips are in and the petite "junior fig ure" will have a season in the sun. 5. Will the trapeze still be In fashion? Yes and no. The exag gerated trapeze dress is out, but the trapeze skirt slim and bell shaped, attached to a camisole or high waistband, is durable fashion. Ditto the modified tra peze coat narrow at the should ers, belling out from bosom to hem. (It may just replace that tired classis, the "princess coat.") 6. What is the present state of the empire? The well-defined, flattering versions of the empire silhouette continue to be in fash ion. The high-waisted dresses with full, full skirts that thicken over the waist are as "gone" as the chemise. 7. How short should a new spring coat be? A street-length coat should cover the knee and then some. (Coats should hang one-half inch below the dress hem.) 8. What chance is there that skirt lengths will drop down again in 1959? Skirts will stay short through spring and sum mer and it is most unlikely that they will go down for fall. 9. What Is the ideal skirt length for the first six months of 1959? How short Is "too short?" Just under the knee cap is properly in fashion; any thing shorter than the bottom of the knee Is "too short." 10. What are the three safest, sure-fire wear-for-years outfits to buy in 1959? The 1959 classic buys are: the shirtwaist dress In an interesting fabric, the chanel type suit, the cardigan collared coat or jacket. And, if any of these are in checks, so much the better. 11. Are the deep clothes worn by many women this fall going to be important as spring hat shapes? No. 12. Whatever happened to the fluffy,' whipped-cream Easter hat? Will it be around this year? What about handbags and gloves and tapered clothes? Flower wigs were the fashion able confection last year. They will be around again this spring along with flower-sprigged veils. Also roller brims. Handbags re flect femininity. There's news in shape. The smaller bag is high-style for late hours, width is emphasized, rather than length. Smart wrist-hug g i n g gloves in natural string or stretch yarns are smart with cas uals and suits. A classic short "dancing school" glove in crisp white cotton or butter soft kid turns the simplest dress Into a going-places outfit! 13. Is anything going to hap pen to the shoe this year? The news for shoes this year is color and more color. The pointed toe will remain. Toes, with blunted points will look newsier. Shoes with round toes not baby dol lish but elegantly narrow and rounded just at the tip will appear in fall, '59 and will be smart. Costume color echoed in your stockings. 14. How "girdled will women be in 1959? This is a waist-cinch year. The results of the shirt waist's new popularity. The bosom will be rounded, hips will be rounded in back, rather than flat. (Those who developed a "chemise slump" last year will unlearn it . . . flat middles and neat waistlines are what it takes to look fetching in most of the new clothes.) 15. What will be the three most sway; NEW YORK CUT TOP SIRLOIN BONELESS PRIME RIB Baked Potato, Tossed Green Salad, French Fried Onion Rings. Garlic Toast ALSO PAN FRIED CHICKEN MEXICAN SPECIALS AND COMPLETE DINNER MENU AT POPULAR PRICES Children Welcome Important fashion colors for 1959? Coffee a well-creamed brown; a tan -toned green that looks like an olive seen through a dry martini; a definite pink the color of strawberry ice. 16. What are the new fash ions that won't last forever but will be great for 1959? The har em skirt is popular. The very wide belt that Is slightly above the waist in front; dresses or suits with waists raised in front; normal in back; fabrics with huge, shock-colored checks, giant size flowers and polka dots 17. What's new in jewelry? Is anything going to replace the gold circle pin and the charm bracelet? They're too good to be replaced. The new jewelry buy for the new season would be a gold-and-enamel flower pin or a gold bracelet band for your wrist watch. Pearl chockers are due for a come back (and lots of women will discover that cult ured pearls are an extravagance that pays off in long faithful service). 18. What fashion mistake will most women make in 1959? Many women will fail to pass the correct hemline test. . . by wearing skirts that are too long or too short. 19. What new fashion is worth spending the most time upon? 1959 colors. We warn you, they're tricky as well as beautiful. It's no fair sticking to just the "safe ty colors" (navy blue, white, grey or black) . . . the new pungent Conlioued on Page 5 MONEY-SAVING IN QUALITY Floor Covering 81 DECORATIVE Wide selection of new decorator colors in rich texture pat terns that go all the way through to the base.
