FOUR MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday, August 20. 1952 New Easy Going Male Autu m n Ait i re Ca I Bed 'American Silhouette' .An easy, new feeling is enter ing the Fall style picture for men. It is called the "American Silhouette" . and is tailored for the many men who prefer an un studied dress-up look, for both business and leisure, rather than a carelessly sloppy or starchy formal appearance. Suits, coats, hats,- shirts, even shoes are being made available with this new relaxed appear ance. Take the basic fabrics and col ors, for instance. Soft, textured shetlands, tweeds and flannels are all predicted to be numer ous. Patterns, such as under stated District checks. Glen plaids, stripes, diagonals and herringbones for sports apparel, and soft finish diagonals, tweeds and cheviots for town wear, are also plentiful. Color Mixtures Stronger richer colors will all be on hand to greet Fall with new informality. Typical, of the new color palette, are the many mixtures , of colors used to heighen the soft textures of fab rics, and the solid tones of char c o a 1 brown, neutral smoke brown and many gradations of grey. In keeping with the "comfort" trends, suits and overcoats are designed to conform with body lines. Single-breasted styles are predominant, featuring narrow er shoulders and a straighter hanging silhouette. Narrower Brims Complementing the straight hanging silhouettes, are the new hats, smaller from every view point, with their narrower brims and tapered lower crowns. Ex pected to be especially appealing to younge men, are the Tyrolean and Tyrolean-influenced hats, often featured in debonair Turtlenecks Appear Again in Menswear It's the revival of the turtle neck sweater for men, this Fall. And whether that turtleneck Is to be worn for raking leaves cr skiing, it is designed to offer warmth, both in its snug wool weave and wide choice of bright colors and patterns in which it is featured. Typical of the new turtleneck designs is a sweater with a pearl grey top, navy sleeves and bot tom and bright red stripe be tween. Another example, in a sweater with a trutleneck that can be worn up or down, is all white with red and navy stripes around the neck and just above the waist and wrists. FOR FALL the modern man chooses a textured all-wool worsted topcott with fly front, natural set-in sleeves and finely tailored detailing throughout. tweedy ' fabrics and complete with rope band and feather trim. Shirts for business, gain their informal attitudes, by, in many instances, incorporating style characteristics of sports shirts. Increasing emphasis is being placed on the short round point and bandless collars. Some of the latter "are . widespread and others are button-down types. Colors, too, lend a new relaxed air to dress shirts. Predicted to be pastel favorites for Fall shirts are greys, yellows, pinks and blues. Moccasins, and moccasin-type shoes, for both leisure and busi nes wear, as well as a preponder ance of details, like lacings, heavier soles and stiching, and such tones as warm russets and golden hues, all herald the in coming of the "American Silhou ette" in shoes, too. NO PLACE FOR BABIES? Hartford, Conn. (U.R) After several weeks of apartment hunt ing and encountering "adults only" signs, a Turkish visitor concluded, "Americans love babies on the street.. They love them in their cars. But they don't seem to like them in the home."

Handy, are the soft sided one, two and three suiters that can be had with companion bags. Some of these have snap-in, water proof toilet kits that are espe cially desirable for holding damp wash cloths , or shaving and tooth brushes. Newest brief bags are multi gusseted and roomy enough to hold a change of clothing as well as the usual business papers. En suring extra long wear are the brief bags that have a "cording" of plastic, in -the same color as the bag leather, all around the exposed edges. Also, sure to be appreciated by traveling men, are the gar ment carriers that offer a con venient way of carrying full length garments and suits for long periods of time with little wrinkling. These may be folded for carrying or left open when laying flat or hanging in the car. Most carriers have additional zippered pickets that hold fold ed articles. They come in a var iety of sturdy fabrics, like can vas, nylon or drill, often with companion bags, in a choice of sizes that allow for extras. Jewelry Twinkles ; With Fall Textures Texture for texture, color for color and line for line, .this is the jewelry story for Fall. The softened textures of fab rics featured for the new season, for example, can now be dressed up with jewelry that also has a textured appearance. Typical of the textures are grooved beads and filigreed and hammered surfaces. Providing a suitable accent for the rich colors seen every where in the Fall fashion pic ture are the many blue, topaz, bright sapphire and gold shades available in jewelry. Highlighting the color picture is the return of black jewelry, either alone or in combination with colored beads, to offset the many all black and touched with black Fall costumes. Jet beads and gleaming smooth beads will be on hand, sometimes dramati cally alone, often coupled with tiny rhinestones, faceted gold beads or rich looking baroque pearls. SUEDE KID and smooth kid brilliant new look to this pump. By Deb. FIRST CHOICE for the campus are these black suede flats with smooth , kid bands. By Vogue. "TOREADOR PUMP" by Joyce is fashioned in rich velvet with black and gold embroidery. THONG SANDAL by Bernardo combines black band with braid ed gold and powder blue kid strips. Teenage Footwear To Be Neat, Soft Fashion has a correlated cos tume plan that will go from head to toe, on a junior this fall. Her general appearance will be neat and feminine, and this applies to her softly tailored suits and coats, her close head hugging hats and her lighter, softer shoes. As every young girl knows, each succeeding season has brought forth more and more in teresting shoe styles on lower heels. Much has been said about the Cuban, the Louis and the Midway variations. This fall will be no exception to the rule, for the choice in lower heel heights is unusually great in color, fab ric and silhouette. Newest is the hooded heel. This heel is built on a wedge and covered to look like one piece with the back of the shoe. Classic Loafers For casual wear, the loafer shoe of the year will be the white, or dark toned bucks on cushion crepe soles. Shoes will be smartly accented with highly polished cobras in high lustre black, deep red or blue green and these will go with the poodle and lush pile fabrics for fall, ac cording to the National Shoe In stitute. Red as a bright contrast on navy and black shoes, on wedge heels, as tassel laces or smart whip stitched accents is proof that two tones are better than one. Important are the two and sometimes three tones added as contrasting or harmonizing mud guard trim. In addition to the popular grey and beige flannel pumps, juniors will now also find new novelty flannel flats or tweed pumps with perhaps an appli qued kid design on the vamp. Gala Pumps For derss up, black suede strapped sandals or black satin pumps are sparked with all-over gold designs, gold kid heel and mudguard. Draped failles are dotted with flashing stones and little colored velvet scoop shells or touches of velvet on suede will attend many a gala evening event. And for lounging, there will be checked corduroy flats, amus ing gingham and terry cloth scuffs. Portland AM.?) The body of Raymond H.

In everything, from pocket secretaries to glasses cases, there are new handy innovations. New men's pocket secretaries, for ex ample, are designed so they can double as a coat wallet and come with removable memo pads and pencil.

Some feature a sliding card file which all but disap pears when the secretary is fold ed. Others have a miniature in dexed card file with sections noted for each item to be car ried. A new slim pass case idea is said to work like a charm. It has a gusseted section which holds ten or more separate ace tate folders for photos or identi fication cards. As many or as few, of these folders, as desired can be used at one time. Re placements are available when the folders become discolored. 'Secret' Pockets New for men's wallets are easy to use "secret" pockets, some of which permit separation of paper money denominations.

Deft Manipulation Shown !n Furs for Fall Season Fur fashions this Fall show much excitement in silhouette, unusual trims and combinations of contrasting furs.
