Fabrics, Wall Some of the newest and most outstanding wallpaper and home fabrics designs this Fall will be reproductions of pieces used in homes almost 200 years ago. Fabric and wallpaper design ers are findnig a wealth of ideas in museums throughout the country. In many cases old homes dating from the 18th cen tury and set aside as historical landmarks provide an inspira tion for new designs. In other cases, individual art icles such as patchwork quilts made by hte early settlers, primitive paintings, and early reedlepoint designs provide the Coverings Inspired by Museum Pieces able in white, off-white shades, 1 a "modern art pattern in striK and a wide range of colors as ingly simple black and white. inspiration for . contemporary home fabrics and wallpapers. Most designers believe that good design is ageless, that those designs which were out standing in their -time, will be outstanding now. Many of these old-new prints appearing in this Fall's home decorating fashions are as adapt able to contemporary decor as to homes decorated in early American or Victorian periods. Translucent materials for wall-to-wall draperies ' are fea tured for the modern' home with wide expanses of glass to let in light and air, and yet as sure privacy. They are avail- well and are also a favorite choice for glass curtains and for traverse drapes. Richly textured surfaces, rus tic linen and shantung weaves, are repeated in many smart drapery fabrics in solid colors and a wealth of distinctive geo metric, modern print themes and abstract patterns. White and neutral grounds are preferred. A pattern in a sin gle color, or at most two colors, looks newer than the conven tional multi-color floral designs. If you like to do something that's really different, consider Patterned strikes lend them selves to a variety of decorating uses. A striped fabric as a slip cover for an extra chair provides pleasing contrast when other slipcovered pieces in the same room are done in solir color fabrics. SPOTS OUT ......

Hosiery shades have never achieved such a finely keyed harmony to the wonderful Fall colors. Four outstanding color ranges are the fashion-preferred tones: Spicy Beige. Golden Tan. Soft Taupe and Radiant Brown. To accent the dramatic col ors on Fall's palette there are: new iridescents, mauve-or-blue-tinted taupes, gray with bluish undertones, and vibrant liqueur shades. And never have hosiery man ufacturers beguiled women with such appealing names of hosiery colors! Styling in Fall hosiery is in fluenced by the footwear sil houettes. For the sling pump, there are heel-less styles with rainforced toe construction. The fashion-important banded shoe and sandal foot stocking with very little reinforcement. Mesh hosiery is particularly styled with the casual shoe in mind. Accessories are so important this season, that they are. also exerting tremendous influence on hosiery. Shades in hosiery will be keyed to handbags, hats, the fashion-wise waistline ac cent, such as the cummerbund, or gloves for a well-coordinated outfit. . New notes in hosiery design are heels which reflect and em- Dhasize the leg tone, a new type of weave by one manufae turer that gives hosiery a high luster - effect, and the introduc tion of the iridescent effect. Definitely its to be a sea son of striking, color-relaied outfits with hosiery adding the important' note of flattery! Wednesday, August 20, 1852 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE ELEVEN f -"'-'"- mm'-"'MiY:iji New Styles, Fabrics In Middy Slip Wear- Overshadowed in the past seasons by the tremendous pop ularity of petticoats, slips now come into their own with a new importance ... a new styling fabric manipulation. Here as in other phases of fashion, the elongated torso is newsworthy. Designed ,to play up the middy or soft fullness, slips stress the smooth line to just below the hips, and then flare from this point to the hem. Lightly trimmed with lace or net, long torso slips will be fa vored in nylon tricot or the ray on and nylon blended tricots Particularly noteworthy this season are lace slips either made completely of lace or with midriff insets of lace, or lace overlays. These are the slips that are deisgned "to show"! Other novelties are tucked bodice front slips . . . printed, woven nylon . . . shirred bustline effects . .' . and tiered skirts descending from elongated-torso, camisole type tops. PANELS OVER PANTS A new trick in sportswear is the panel over pants theme. These look like skirts but are slit all the way up the sides to reveal skirt-length trousers be neath. Destined to be a campus favorite, these will surely get wide response in the at-home fashion collections. DESIGNER JO COLLINS plays up the separate story for Fall in fine ribbed corduroy in this stunning vest and skirt, perfect change-abouts for campus or office. THE IMPORTANT JUMPER in this Fall's fashion picture is in terpreted by New Jaunty Sports wear in feather-weight tweed with black silk braid accents, pique blouse. Black Suede Pumps To Take 1st Place In Fall Fashions Pumps, the people's choice for Fall '52. ' Pumps with detail, with con trasting color trims.. Pumps with embroidered vamps and cutouts, with draping and tucking, with contrasting fabric and leather trims. Pumps with low heels, mid way heels, high heels, with open or closed toes, with open or clos ed backs. Each new style an ex citing fashion story to correlate with the complete costume this Fall. With the trend to the "little black dress," this Fall, the black suede pump, according to the National Shoe Institute, takes first place in the color parade. Rich Details The pump also assumes fash ion importance because of the rich deep textured coats and suits in the many cross-dyed wools with color on a black base. Suede pumps are handsomely decorated with jet and rhine stone beading, touches of pat ent, faille, valvet, satin and calf trims, fabric braids and appli ques, mesh inlays, buttons and bows. Black shoes are also news when combined with bright col ors such as red or black with green. The autumn harvest tol ors, from the palest beige to deep coppery tones, go with the new Fall costumes and these sombre shades are also smartly combined with black. The warm vibrant shade of Town Brown will step into Fall along with important hues, deep Ruby Red and bright lively ac cents of green. Grey is a growing color., especially when combined with black. Grey flannel goes well with calf and patent trims, and 'beige flannel and tweedy textures are now gaining in prominence. New Lines The shoe silhouette is a chang ing picture. Scalloped lines frame the foot, sling heels have the new higher halter style sling. Toe openings are varied in size and sometimes openings appear unexpectedly at the little toe or toward the side of the foot. Open shank pumps, these with closed toes and backs but open at the sides create a lighter look. Comfort goes with fashion as well as bacon with eggs these days. Newest innovations in clude the soft shoe tailored to fit and feel more like an old glove than a brand new shoe. Keeping pace on popularity with .pumps for Fall, are open banded shoes in a variety of strap styles as well as elasticiz ed bands, slings and pull-over type shoes which keep the foot comfortably and conveniently in just the right place.
