r m mm r Middie Style Findv Favor in Blouse Fashions for Fall The middy style has captured the blouse fashion scene for Fall end appears true to traditional form with torso-hugging lines, a V-neck sometimes accented by a jaunty bow and large back col lar. However, in many instances, new fashion notes have been in troduced to accentuate the close fitting middy line and give it a fresh for '52 outlook. Necklines appear in stand away suff designs, called "har nesses." Turtle necks, usually knit for a sweater -effect, are either folded over to resemble a double collar or stand straight up around the neck. They may be very low or exaggeratedly high. Tapered Sleeves Sleeves, for new middy blouses, are often wide at the op then tapered at the wrist, and appear with and without cuffs. Push-up sleeves, that sometimes extend well below the wrist when pulled down, are also popular for new middy creations. Also new for' Fall blouses are the classic shirts with a reminis cent air of grandpa's day about them. Collars on newly re-styled shirts have, in some instances, grown smaller until only a de mure buttoned collarband is toff AnH simnlv tailored bosoms have been replaced by rows of dainty tucked fronts. T.iVa GrandDa's Typical example of the new "grandpa" shirt has long rrencu cuffed sleeves, a tucked bosom and buttoned collarband neck line. It appears in pure silk that can be worn for bom casual dress-up occasions. The Gibson Girl blouse, with its full-blown sleeves and high, frilly neckline, is expected to re tain its tioDularity in Fall blouse fashions, as are classic boy shirts with trimly tailored but ton-down collars, and pure silk nrinted blouses that often ac company costume dresses suits. Jerseys, cottons in a wide va riety of weaves, pure silks and the many new science-devised fabrics are all predicted to be popular for Fall blouses, as are an abundance of sporty knit trims. or Young Guys Wear Mix-Match Apparel More than ever, mothers of boys of grammar grade age are choosing wardrobes for their young sons that can be mixed and matched to achieve neat, well dressed outfits for school as well as "Sunday Best." And, this Fall promises to be o exception. For slacks, sport suirts, sweaters and jackets, .styled just like the older boys' are all in order as new wardrobe additions. And often they will be selected in colors and fabrics that offer a maximum number of co-ordinating possibilities with one another. Newest of the separates ideas for boys is the slip-over sweater vest. Made with a knit back and a reversible front, it often comes in a suit that has two pairs of trousers in different fabrics, so the outfit can be changed around for many combinations. This outfit is often made in solid tone gabardine and a plaid or checked rayon suiting.

Quite the contrary, Fall-time will find men sporting narrower hat brims than ever before. This narrow-brim trend hasn't just happened. Men have been wearing narrow-brim hats for several years. But, this year, spontaneously, men in all parts of the country, all walks of life have taken the narrow brims to heart. Too, the national swing toward two-button, single-breasted suits has had its influence on men. They found the narrow brim styles fitted right in and complemented their new ap pearance. Take the traditional center crease hat, for example. This model is on its way towards capturing a lion's share of the hat market. Hatters are turning it out in a Homburg-curled, back-bow, narrow-brim style. And the more formal Homburg is staging a comeback, too, for dress and business. - The "casual" side of the narrow-brim picture comes in for its share of attention, also. This year's tyrolean hats, for in. stance, will have less brim and more vim. and yodel appeal. And, of course, their eye-catching rope bands and ornament will be more colorful than evel Along with center-creased hats, : new Fall fashions for younger men include: low crowned telescopes, traditionally the sign of a "big man on cam pus," with extra-wide bands, perky feathers, narrow brims: scratch-finish telescopes with rope hat-bands and brightly-col ored feathers.
