TWO MEDFOHD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday. August 20, 19S2 - A: .' 1 s....;..:l '52 Softer, Natural Look Teen Styles Will Enhance Every Pretty Young Miss Texture is the fashion key to new Fall fabrics. This season it is softer, ' more luxurious with j fur mixed right in with the fab ric, in many instances, to lend an even greater degree of soft ness. Also exciting, in the Fall fab ric picture, are the brushed and furry surfaces of fabrics intend ed for coats, the cottons that look like everything but cotton and. the rich, creamy feel of dressy fabrics like silks and many of the new synthetics. With the addition of fur fibres, curly surfaced woolens achieve a distinctive luster and an even closer resemblance to Persian lamb. Woolens, designed for suits and the jerseys, so popular for dresses, offer a more downy feel than ever with fur included in their weaves. While fur. like weasel, mink or musk rat, used generously over new furry and long hair coat wool ens, lends an all-over sprinkling of shining elegance to the fabric surface. Tweeds, always a Fall fabric favorite, have lost their rough and rugged outlook. This season they're spongy and gentle, often with a hand-made look. Small, all-over effects and striking di mensional patterns do much to make tweeds more outstanding. And, in many instances, woven in fur heightens tweed's soften ed expression of luxury. Cotton, as of this Fall, holds the possibility of becoming a ver satile year 'round fabric. For now it is offered with the very same appearance and similar drape of wool suitings, complete to the darker colors, stripes and checks. Many of the new corduroys employed tweed designs that again lend versatility to the use of cotton. Denim, once a special ty "down on the farm," now ap pears as a smart winter fabric in plaids, checks and even tweedy effects. Fabrics, designed to dress-up occasions, are lavish to the look as well as the hand, this Fall. Many have appearances, elegant raised sur faces, shiny and dull contrasts within the same fabric or plush quilted and embroidered effects. Crepes, for afternoon frocks, attain an easy-to-drape manner. Chiffons and georgettes, magni ficient with pleats, are ready to float through a Fall and Winter's evening. WASH 'EM HOME A houseful of kiddies means a houseful of pretty little house coats and robes to keep clean. Cotton quilted, chenille, and ter ry cloth robes can go in the washing machine; so can cord uroys if grouped according to colors. Even wool flannel robes can be safely washed if squeez ed through luke-warm soapsuds and rinsed by hand. Rayon crepe and quilted robes can be washed like fine lingerie in cool soapsuds. Press lightly with a low-rheat iron while damp. ON OR OFF Excitingly new, for Fall, are the cloth coats designed with dramatically large, long hair fur cuffs that can be removed at will, from the sleeves, and used as single or double muffs. Wider Use of Metal Stressed in Autumn Furniture Stylings The growing-. importance of meial in furniture and furnish ings accessories is perhaps the biggest news from out -of the new-for-Fall showings... Metal is used with distinction and fair grace on prestige cases . . . seating furniture . U as stretchers on tables ... as orna mentation on' contemporary pieces, and serves to highlight traditional wood furniture. Black., steel rods, polished brass, brass-plated steel,., and silver-plated wrought . iron are tops in the novelty metals seen in the newest furniture showing. In olden days, the master fur niture craftsman was a hand carver, now the furniture indus try turns to the blacksmith and silversmith for new inspiration. At the present time, made with-metal pieces are generally shown in the ultra-quality lines, but the swing to more metal in more furniture will come about as more and more of these pieces are shown and seen. In the same high fashion mood for metal, come the metal-based GILLCRAFT OF LOS ANGELES, features their new "Forecaster" coordinated grouping. It gives versatility and functionalism through add-on units. Made of solid birch, in natural or cordovan finish, the group has three, different-sized benches which serve as three-dimensional bases for various-sized chests. tela MEDFORD Presenting Adele Simpson de Michel Greta Plattrey Wilson Suedes Adlon Courtshire Vivian Baker Nardis of Dallas Junior House Copeland Joan Marie SMART AND VERSATILE is this off-balance sofa (in' rights and lefts) which offers many possibilities for interesting arrangements.

Other highlights from current at home lingerie collections show dress-type fashions in hostess coats and robes with fitted bodices and billowing circle skirts and are translated into many of the dramatic new fabrics. Sweep - skirted hostese gowns are pointed up with black velvet trimmings, and many of ihem boast elegant and even ornate jeweled, and embroidered trims for prestige-occasion wear. And, dual - purpose pajamas are best liked when they are pre sented in broadcloth with shorty quilted jackets. Tone and tone, or small prints combined with solids are prime favorites in this line.
