Fashion Picks
Bouquet of Roses
Running the gamut, from
tiny buds to big, splashy
blooms, fashion-favored prints
feature roses in every size,
shape and shade of red or
pink!
The newly - favored print
dress, solid coat costume is
beautifully-coordinated with
the coat lining and dress tail
ored of the same gay rose
print.
Accessories are also abloom,
with roses, roses, and more
roses appearing on belts and
cummerbunds to contrast with
solid skirts; on chiffon scarves
to twist at neck or waist, and
as dainty embroidery motifs
on gloves and hankies.
Even rainwater takes on a
frivolous look, despite its prac
ticality, with matching rain
coat and umbrella both adorn
ed with spring and fashion's
favorite roses.
Gloves and Color
Go Hand-in-Hand
The spring leather glove for
1958 will provide a blaze of
color in tropical hue or in the
fresh spectator look of red,
white and blue tri-colors.
Pale, off-shades will har
monize with the blaze of color
predicted for handbags in
bone, oyster, willow and al
mond tones.
Softness and washability
too, are stressed for spring.
Brilliant blues and tropical
reds are the top "bright"
shades.
Soft, subdued tints will ex
press the beige tones in such
neutrals as "bone," "flax,"
taupe, malacca, "blonde mo
cha" and "burned toast."
With such color variations,
classic styles with button clos
ing and elastic shirring in
shortie fitted styles are offer
ed, with flared cuff treatment
is new looking in the more
styled gloves.
Discreet touches of rows of
pearl buttons, twin bows end
embroidery provide detail in
terest with ceramic motifs and
pearl jewel-set buttons for eye
catching appeal.
Longer lengths are classic,
and range up to the 16-button
length.
Tiny bows and vents touch
the simple styles in capeskin
and kid which make up many
spring lines. Pale watercolor
pastels, a wide range of neu
trals and hot bright oranges
and greens appear in shorties
and up to 16-button lengths.
v Classic styles come in fine
suedes and doeskins, while the
pigskin line is newly pale and
interestng in off-whites, bone
and willow shades.
Detailing is restrained and
delicate with tiny gilt buckles,
buttonholes, thong lacings,
gentle embroidery and tabs.
New Petticoat Has
Shape Built Right In
Skirts on the new back-dipping,
"up-lifted front" ball
room and cocktail dresses will
have a petticoat all of their
very own this season.
Petticoat designers have de
signed a style with this special
shape "built-in."
They may be found in ny
lon tulle, and nylon over
parchment taffeta for an in
triguing rustle.

Scarfs Dramatize
Necklines for Spring
Spring and gay scarves al
ways seems to go together in
a mood of happy harmony.
This season too, there are
many, many fresh colors and
new design treatments to
spark new silk squares and as
cots. Fruit prints, paisley and
large florals are the fashion
leaders in brilliant-hued silk
squares.
Dots from dainty to dra
maticcome to the fore on
white grounds or on color. Ab
stracts, spaced geometries and
stripes continue to hold their
own in spring's newest hues of
sea, sand and surf.
Softest crepes, silk chiffons,
crisp foulards and twill, and
whisper-weight satins .are the
fabrics shaping the scarves of
the season.
Color-Matched
Coordinates Still
News for Spring
Trimmed - to - match outfits,
so successful in the winter of
'56, are receiving even
stronger endorsement for
spring and summer in new
follow-up designs.
These dyed-to-match skirt
and sweater sets are predicted
to be a "hot" item on the mar
ket and therefore manufac
turers are making an attempt
to give the ladies just what
they want in this new style
setter. Typical of this is the dyed-to-match
short sleeved cardi
gan with the border and collar
in the same fabric as the slim
skirt.
Also effective is a set con
sisting of the short-sleeved
slipon that has narrow bands
of skirt fabric plaited through
hand crocheted detail on V
plunge collar.
A real classic this spring, is
the raglan-sleeved shorty car
digan with the wing collar and
the straight skirt to match.
Waistlines Change
To Hiplines in Fashions
If there s one spot in the
daytime silhouette that draws
attention this year it is the hip,
and mostly because it is so dif
ferent from hippy hips of re
cent past. Now everything is
done to make hips look nar
row and flat.
Jackets are wider at top to
make hips dwindle; belts
placed at hips are loose so that
hips almost disappear; bloused
bodices make hips look small
er, and chemise dresses hang
straight from the shoulders at
back, again making hips invisible.
Color Clash Is Bold
New Fashion Note
Go ahead and let your col
ors "clash" this spring let
'em go head-on into their oppo
sites, and know you're fashion
right. Orange particularly, is a
wonderful, fashion color for
dramatic impact.
There's a real "smash" to
orange in combination with
reds and pinks, in vibrant op
position to bamboo, ivory and
bone tones, or to offset the
palest neutral, string."
Good news for new moth
ers! More and more miracle
fabrics are appearing in in
fants' clothing this spring.

Lively Colors
And Flowers
Headline Hats
As fashion's total look sums
up an ease of silhouette, and
a lean, uncluttered simplicity
millinery makers look
downward, upward and out
ward to put fashion emphasis
on top of the costume.
There's a f lambuoyant
mood in millinery interpert
ed in high color; fine soft
millinery fabrics and in the
widest variety of shapes.
In most showings, depth
and height are keynoted to
complement chemise lines.
Close - fitting cloches and
back-posing turbans come into
fashion focus.
Draping and manipulation
are the 'soft touches to these
shapes soft silks, easily
manipulated straws, straw
cloths take to new hats in the
gayest of colors . . . the smart
est of trims.
Whatever the shape of the
hat, "softness" is its theme.
The youthful, natty-looking
Breton or roller is back!
they go to all sizes from small
to impressivejy-wide and are
marked by a show of elegant
starws. Worn straight on or
back of the hairline, no other
style has such youthful flat
tery. - V
Big, Bold Brims
From the modified crat
wheel, to the rippling-brim
garden hat, there's a suave,
sophisticated undulation to
these big-brim charmers.
There are bicornes and tri
cornes, bumper brims and
full-blown disks all are en
hanced with vivid, oversize
flowers, pirate drapes of chif
fon or jersey, or dramatic
bows.
There's a fresh flower look
to this season's millinery.
Flowers "bloom" everywhere.
Silk geraniums, poppies, a
variety of roses, sweet peas
and cascades of chrysanthem
ums glow brightly atop bre
tons, bloused-crown cloches,
wide-brimmed beauties and of
course, are made-up into
gentle, little head-hugging
caps and toques.
A smart variety of straws
sparkle the entire hat scene:
the accent of course, on the
softest, most-pliable types.
Leading contenders for star
honors are baku soie, panama-
lac,. toyo, balibuntl, tuscan,
milan and their first cousin,
straw cloth.
Shirred mat jersey is used
for turbans . . . silk prints . ..
braided, twisted and saped or
gandy ... as well as some
soft-as-a-whisper felts are
the other fabrics that shape
spring millinery.
No one style is decreed for
the new season. The . deep
headhugger or high fashion . .
for youthfulness the bre
ton ... the towering turban
for drama . . . and a bevy of
beautiful slouch hat styles,
crisp derbies . . . floppy- brim
med and softly-draped styles
are all shown to suit your
every fancy and fashion.
Dramatic Hat Colors'
White often serves as the
focal point for color . . . with
bold-hued accents in draping,
trimming and florals all
lending emphasis to the white,
Yellows, oranges, and apri
cots in fact all the citrus
shades s well as spicy
pinks, blues greens, beige
tones will be seen everywhere.
Colored Hosiery
Continues For Spring
The impact of color in hos
iery made this fall will not be
dissipated for spring.
Of all the shades introduced,
greens are considered by many
the most flattering on the leg.
The new greens introduced for
spring also have a chameleon
quality, toning in with other
colors.
They will be promoted for
wear, with beiges and reds as
well as with green shoes and
costumes and are considered
"the new neutral." .
Jewelry Liven
Spring Fashions
Jewelry comes into its own
this Spring. No longer can it
bs regarded as a mere costume
accessory, it is now an integral
part of the new fashion
"look." Furthermore, Spring's
new bright, clear colors are
rendered clear in Spring's new
prints? with a minimum of
greying or chalking down.
The whole color picture is
based upon the" clarity and
brightness of precious gem
tones, the Fashion Coordina
tion Institute reports.
Colored jewelry whether
precious, semi - precious, or
handsomely simulated copies
of the real thing assumes
stature for day as well as eve
ning wear with handsomely
tailored stone necklaces and
bracelets. The "Ensemble
Look," achieved by matching
jewelry color to costume color
is an important spring trend. '
Pendants and longer neck
laces become increasingly im
portant to give vertical bal
ance to he relaxed costume
lines and lower necklines.
Bibs dip lower to add greater
depth and bulk. Many varia
tions are seen .in chains and
ropes.
Classic jewelry is used in a
new manner to attract and fo
cus attention. For exmaple,
several small gold pins are
grouped together on a lapel or
shoulder, or near a neckline to
spot a focal point. The tiny
fine gold heart, charm or lock
et on a slender gold chain is
worn in contrast with a hand
some tailored costume neck
lace. -
The suit glove will be a neat
leather shortie. Blue is the fa
vored hue.
Second Hand Boal
Deals Available
You'll see lots of sleek,
fancy new boats out at the
Crater Lions' Sportsfair Sat
urday and Sunday, April. 12
and 13. Now, if you are one
of those in the market for a
boat these displays may be
just the final push and send
you out to buy one of your
own.
Perhaps you feel you lack
the money for a new one, so
you will probably go shop
ping for a second-hand one.
You can save a lot of money
that way, but, unless you're
careful, you can also end up
with a lot of trouble. Here
are a few helpful hints with
which to look a second-hand
boat over.
If the boat you're interested
in has a wooden hull, check
every board, planks, timbers
and all, with an ice pick. Just
lean gently on the pick. If
the board is sound, it'll ac
cept a little bit of the pick,
but if it's rotten, the -pick
may go clear through.
It it's a steel hull, look over
every inch for the ravages of
electrolysis and rust.
After you've satisfied your
self, get an expert to look it
over. This may cost you $25
or $30, but it may save a re
pair job of several hundred
dollars later. You may have
to make a compromise by
balancing the boat's good
points against the bad and
putting the result up against
the price. The choice is yours.
Predicted for the Play Pen
Set: Brother and sister duets
in diaper sets and play-clothes.
Sometimes only the color dif
fers; sometimes the addition
of ruffles denotes the feminine
attire.
