Fresh Pretty Styles
Ready for Junior's
Choice This Spring
Fashions, as fresh and pretty
as spring itself, are ready for a
Junior's selection this season.
Dresses, suits and coats, design
ed for this set, offer the same
romantic Empire and elongat
ed torso-line outlook that is so
predominant in new fashions
for her older or misses' size sis
ter. Tiny Jackets, full skirts ac
cented by crisp petticoats, a
wealth of trim that often cen
ters about the hipline, full deep
set sleeves or softened effects
in brief sleeves and a wide va
riety of surface interest in fab
rics all help to land complete
new interest to the junior's
spring parade fashions.
The Empire silhouette is
stressed in new spring dresses,
by high smooth midriffs, often
emphasized by tiny figure-hugging
Spencer jackets or cropped
boleros. Elongated torso lines ap
pear on dresses that may be
belted, but have smoothed-down
effects to the mid-hip where
there is all-around button ac
cent. It can also be seen on
dresses that are snugly fitted
from neckline to mid-hip, then
swirl into full-pleated skirts.
Costume Types
Expected to hold an important
place in a Junior's daytime ward
robe are the costume-type dress
es. These often have coats, fitted
on top and bouffant skirted, with
Along with a basie fashion ward
robe, there is also a basic cos

seasonal colors, is one of the cos

linings to match the color of the
dress beneath.
Other costume ensembles offer
tiny curved or straight-cut bo
lero tops or the new popular
figure-molding Spencer jackets.
There are also classic redingote
combinations, enlivened for
spring '52, with giant bows,
touches of rhinestone glitter and
bright linings.
For dress-up, newest frocks
come . with diminutive sleeves
softened' in a gentle puffed-out
manner, with eyelet or other
lacy trims or in curved and rip
pling sleeve-on-sleeve capelet
effects. Decollete necklines, on
these gala occasion fashions, are
dressed up with all-around fences
of fabric, stand-away portrait
frames and notched fronts on the
more formal strapless models.
Petticoats
While, for the most part, skirts
billow out crisp and wide with
petticoats beneath to help
heighten the look of fullness.
Suits, too, present a pretty pic
ture of femininity for juniors,
this spring. Their skirts have
exaggerated fullness, with petti
coats below to increase the bil
lowing outlook, or their skirts
are slim and eased for long
striding by low-placed pleats.
Complementing the very full
or very slim line of skirts to per
fection are little Empire jackets
that hug the figure and stop
short of the waist, debonair Eton
jackets, capes that are trim and
tailored and often detailed with
sham pockets or capes in more
of a dressmaker mood lined in a
gaily colored crisp fabric such as
taffeta, and middy-like box jack
ets that present a long torso
effect.
To define the over-all look of
femininity, hiplines are stressed
by flange, button and pocket
treatments.
Costume effects in suits, as in
dresses, are predicted to be a
popular junior selection for
spring. Costume suits often com
bine removable capes over slim
cardigan jackets, neat, tailored
blouses with suits or petticoats
in colors to match jacket linings.
From the excitement of sur
face interest in fabrics to the
long torso effects produced by
shortie styles, there is news in
spring coats for juniors.
Fabrics, like basket and waffle
weaves, nubby tweeds, boucles
and soft fleeces in a joyous vari
ety of new colors, that include
vivid reds, bold checks, clearest
yellows, soft lilac and strong
blues, are featured with linings
in vivid stripes or in colors to
match or contrast with new
dresses.

Men's Shoes
Simplicity in
Style Featured
Shoes, featured for men, this
Spring, place emphasis on light
er weight comfort and simplicity
of styling.
Dress shoes appear with light
er than ever soles and are called
"featherweights."
Soft, informal shoes take on
new appeal with foam, crepe
type soles. They are available in
lined and unlined soft, glove
like leathers with "spineless" de
sign, without counters or toe
boxing, in casual styles ranging
from moccasins to slip-ons and
ties.
Such new designs, as the En
velope Fold, that has a smooth
unseamed look from toe to
tongue; the Tobacco Pouch, on
hand with a variety of soles and
detailed with a drawstring
around the plug; and the Tassel
Oxford, a sophisticated version
of the classic moccasin, place
their styling accent on comfort
and simplicity.
Leathers, too, emphasize cool
comfort. For this season, mesh
is much in evidence combined
with smooth leathers. Soft,
brushed leathers and leathers
with reptile prints, like simu
lated ostrich grains, are also
abundant. And for warmer wea
ther days, there are many all
fabric shoes to be had, such as
linens and denims, as well as
fabrics combined with leathers.
Unusual styling details pre
sented for Spring include col
ored weltings, often matched by
the lacing, and brushed leather
laced oxfords in bright colors
like rust. Often these brushed
leather oxfords are trimmed
with reptile prints or smooth
leathers and come in matching
colors or contrasting tones, such
as cream beige with brown, grey
with black . or even red with
maroon trim.
