Pi'GE TWELVE' MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, MARCH 13, 1931 IS PARIS. (UP) Social event wt fashions, Is the opinion of M. Helm, who &as drawr some pretty accurate conclusions In proving bis remark. With an Imposing mt of social functions, very formal In their na ture, he found that "one conclusion was Immediately obvious that for mal, elegant evening gowns are again In favor a marked reaction against the casual Insignificant evening cos tumes of the past two seasons. The simple black satin or crepe frock, once seen as much for formal occa sions as for dinner, no longer hs any place In such brilliant surround ings. Instead, there are lames, heavy silks, ottomans and failles, Lyon vel vetall of which fall In rich folds and give a distinction that mediocre materials can never achieve. "Ermine and mink, after having been neglected for one or two years, have. In the parlance of the movie, 'staged a comeback,' and there are still fortunate women who can draw about their s&ouldera that most royal of all furs sable. Pur capes are more numerous than ever, and easily equal coats In favor. It Is a safe wager that both for spring and aum mer, fur capes will have an increas ing vogue." Capes seldom fall to flatter. They are a boon to the skinny-snoiuaerea and an asset to the woman with beautiful shoulders who can afford to drape expensive furs or fabrics In becoming manner about them. Ma terial falls gracefully over shoulders whether It be of fur, rich fabrics, line gauzes or the famous Lanvln span, gles. Spring Suits Go Feminine As Mannish Trend Fades FASHIONABLE FIXTURE FOR 1934 WARDROBE Br MARY KNIGHT United Press Staff Correspondent PARIS, France. (UP) We'vo been apporachlng It for some time, but bow we've actually arrived at the baby bonnet hat stage, tied under the chin et all Mile. Colette Rosambert. the pretty French tennis star. Is sponsoring the vogue. Hers Is a knitted affair In black with little turn-up tabs In front and back and a knitted bow tied directly under the chin. Other versions of this grownup hat fad are In straw, felt and straw combinations, and In fabrics match ing ensembles for spring. There is no argument about the comfort of thene bonnets even the Infants sel dom fret about them and w.hile we allow for a difference of opinion as to the efficacy of the chlntlea, the turn back effects of the forehead are becoming to manj we discussed the matter with one milliner here who hs arranged for the ties to turn back from the ears and make their bow ! at the nape of the neek. This Isn't! bad at all, and one or two butch j bonnet effects have met with real ! favor from the younger set. Berets and queer-shaped knitted bead coverings seem to have met with such complete success lsst sea son that there Is no outing them In 1934. Knitting and crocheting Is no longer a homely business, and the mode has worked Its way Into forma evening attire as well. Gold and sil ver threads, metal and allk work lnta delicate Juliette caps, evening bags, sweaters. Jackets and gloves. A black linen shirt, black paten t leather hat and belt and black snede gloves give the 1934 touch to this spring suit of helce wool flecked with black. Marcel Rochas designs It with the trimly tailored, though feminine, lines In vogue this season. The coat Is three-quarter length. By RITA FERRIS - Associated Press Fashion Editor PARIS. (UP) Femininity Is the essence of the new spring suit. Though a trimly tailored effect of simplicity Is still the rule, the hard mannish Una In vogue for several seasons has been tossed on fashion's scrap heap. Wools are often a little softer, silhouettes look less as though they had 3een sketched by hard black crayons on white paper, acces sories such as golden snail or silver seashell fastenings are decidedly fem inine. Square, padded, exaggerated shoul ders are no longer seen. Some de signers show the trimly squared shoulders always favored for tail ored suits; others display a much softer, almost sloping ahoulder line. Jacket lengths are a matter In which madam "may have her own way. The favorite Is the classic hip- length line, ending a little below the hip bones, but one designer shows suits with Jacket no longer than tie waist, and others display both belted and loose three-quarter length. Jack ets. Two-toned weaves are a heavy fa vorite In the suit world. Tweeds, shadow, plaids, herringbones, diamond-patterned plaids and stripes, as well as homespuns and hopsack lngs, are legion. Orelge and brown, black and gray, navy and horizon blue are the favorite mixtures. Soft black wools woven with Isin glass stripes to give a shiny finish, quilted satins, crisp taffetas and cra vat silks are much used for Jaunty little afternoon suits, cut with Jack ets which nip In to the waist and end In longer black talis.
