2 MAIL TRIBUNE. Medford, Oregon, Tueiday. August 12, 1938 I Clothing Manufacturers Gamble On New Contour By HELEN B. SHAFFER every American woman how Washington You may; ever little she may have to think that the chemise-trap- j spend on clothing herself, eze type dress is on the way j Unable to prevent pirating out, along with the infamous j of its creations, for reproduc sack. but American manufac-1 tion in low-priced models in turers of women's clothing think differently. They have committed themselves to a huge gamble on wide accept ance this fall and winter of style changes based on these recent Paris creations style changes which radically alter the contour of the fashionable woman. The stakes are high and the outcome in doubt: there is always a fair chance of a fashion boycott. Joined in the gamble are the makers of brassieres, shoes, hats and women's ac cessories in general most of whom have' revised their lines in step with the new styles in dresses. Trade sources estimate that success for a radical change in fash ion lifts purchases of wom en's clothing and accessories by five to 10 per cent. Last year's sales of female raiment in the United States totaled S12 billion. Whatever the immediate reaction to the new modes, experts in the field see many indications that fashion is tak ing one of its decisive turns this one to result in giving women a new silhouette. The wide diversity of cut in the garments to appear in the shops this fall is characteris tic of times in which women have tired of the old look and want a new one. Change Welcomed Despite the mixed recep tion of the chemise when brought over from fans a year ago, and the trapeze when it turned up in Janu ary, American women seem to have welcomed a new loosness of fit. and to be glad to get away from the form hugging garments of preced ing seasons. Not for a genera tion have the new styles had such fullness of fabric above the hips; not for years has the normal waistline been in such disfavor. The exaggerations of the first chemise and trapeze models have been toned down in current Paris and New York collections. After the modifications, however, what remains is still a new shape, or rather a number of new shapes. This i$ the way fash ion usually moves: first the startling, attention-getting in novation then numerous va riations, finally the settling down to something less ex treme but still quite differ ent from the earlier vogue. Paris Challenged The primacy of Paris in or iginating fashions has often been challenged but French creations continue to. exert a major influence on the wom en's apparel industry. In re cent years the growing pres tige of American designers, and the emergence of famous couturiers in other countries, has loosened the hold of Paris, but it still sets the pace for women of high fashion and its concepts are respected by the American manufacturer of ready-to-wear clothes. The Clothing worn by the Ameri-. can woman today is the end product of an effort, largely successful, to reproduce by machine methods for mass distribution the original work of designers for an in dustry devoted to an elite cli entele. Fashionable garments are now available to virtually F Infants' Good Play etc. CLOSE-OUT BABY Corner 6th & Central Ml a the United States, the haute couture of Paris has come to terms with the mass produc er. It will now sell its origin als to the American manufac turer for copying at prices 50 to 100 per cent above the usual sky - high quotations. The manufacturer must agree not to offer copies outside his usual clientele, not to sell or sub-let the model to an unau thorized manufacturer, not to turn out more than a certain number of the most exclusive creations. A number of American de signers have succeeded in es tablishing their own haute couture, closely patterned alter that of France. The eclipse of Paris during the German occupation of World War II did much to. promote American careers. Since the war, Italy has vied with Paris for the attention of wealthy, fashionable women. For the average American woman, however, the entry of creative talent into designing for the mass market is of far greater importance than the rise of a native couture to serve the rich and powerful of the land. Style Show Announced "Desks, Dresses and Dates" will be the theme of the an nual style show of Horizon club members of Jackson county. The show is set for Saturday, August 23, at Rogue Valley Country club, and will be preceded by luncheon at 12:30 o'clock. Horizon club is the senior organization for Camp Fire Girls. The style show is given each year to raise funds for the club's service projects, and this year the money will be turned over to the special education school at Talent.

No big decis ions to make concerning the high waistline, the low waist line or the no waistline. For the happy male, it's mostly a matter of deciding which stripes. This fall, the man who dresses to the min ute will wear more of them than a convict, although the stripes will be subtle and not cell-block bold. "The man in the gray flan- uci sua ia uuuugu, aaui i stylist for the men's and boy's wear inter - industry council. "This will be a striped year." Favorite combinations are black and brown. A narrow black stripe, for instance, runs through a brown suit brown is a leading suit color for fall. Or, a brown stripe is used on a black background. The men don't suffer through all the fluctuations in fashion we women do. But this fall there are some changes. First, a slight alter ation in shape. The council said the Ivy League straight lines have given way to a silhouette it called the "American Ambas sador" with some inden tation in the suit jacket at the waist, closer spacing of jacket buttons and some shoulder padding. Plus, pleat ed trousers which the' true Ivy Leaguer disdains but which help camouflage any waistline bulge. The new silhouette is gen erally slim, with narrow la pels and narrow trousers. And any hat with a brim wider than two inches is old hat. This fall, hats are to be worn pinched at the front "centre-dent," the industry calls the crease. Hatband bows are on the side, not the back. Topcoats Shorter Topcoats, both with the cas ual raglan shoulder and more in a new length. They come just below the knee on a size 40 male, which is about two inches shprter than last seas on. Manufacturers feature navy blue as the leading topcoat shade. One coat called the "American Warmer" is in navy wool velour with a bright red wool lining. Tweeds abound, but with a flat surface instead of a rough and nubby one. And colors are more subdued burnt orange on brown, and bur gundy on gray. Johnsons Visit Relatives Here; Dinner Is Given Mr. and Mrs. Wallace John son have left Medford after spending a vacation here with Mrs. Johnson's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Icel Johnson, Delta Waters road, and her brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. C.

London (UPI) Princess Margaret is approaching her 28th birthday on August 21 with no sign of marriage on the horizon. It's not because she lacks for interesting men in her life, or willing swains. She still continues to be friends but that's all with Peter Townsend, the hand some former RAF officer she renounced as husband ma terial in 1955, following the dictates of conscience, church and country. The friendship is close and constant. There will be flow ers from Peter on Margaret's birthday, and a gift too. Dur ing her recent tour of Canada, he sent her regular letters and they also had at least one telephone conversation. If is confidently expected the couple will meet in Lon don from time to time this fall. He may be invited to tea or dinner at Clarence House where the Princess lives with her Mother, the Queen Mother Elizabeth. But throughout this con tinuing and mostly long-distance association the stress is always that Peter and Marga ret simply continue friends. What other young men does the extremely feminine, at tractive Princess have among her admirers? One of the most attentive is Billy Wallace. Margaret has known him since they went to children's tea-parties to gether. He is the 32-year-old son of the late Captain Euan Wallace, who was a member of the British government of his day and extremely wealthy. Bill and the Princess share many interests such as music, drama and dancing. He works in the London offices of a large civil airlines company, though his career has been sometimes interrupted by ill health. Wallace frequently takes Princess Margaret to the thea ter, entertains her at his handsome apartment and works with her on behalf of several charitable causes, in cluding the Invalid Children's Association. ' Another bachelor in Prin- i cess Margaret s circle is a handsome Scotsman, Dominic Eliot, son of Lord Minto. He is an amateur painter and very fond of riding as is the Princess. His parents are friends of the Queen Mother. There is also Rory Mac Ewen, who owns large estates in eastern Scotland and has been the Princess's host at his ancestral castle home. Two bachelor peers often in Visitors Art Show sider the show to be the most outstanding of the many held by the societv over the vears. The attendance of so many t tourists, as well as valley members and many favorable comments on the show were a source of much encourage ment to the society. Tourists from 25 states and Alaska signed the guest book, as well as 265 from various Oregon towns and 213 persons from California. The Shakespearean Festi val trio. James Baker, Med ford: Miss Arlieta Knowles, Grants Pass and Lyman Pruitt, Roseburg, entertained the artists and guests each afternoon with English bal lads. Organ music by Mrs. W. A. Sousa, Ashland,, on Saturday and by Mrs. George Heide, Medford, Sunday, pro vided a continuous musical background for the event. Mr. Wrigglesworth, a musician as well as an artist, also played from time to time. The glade near the swan pond was the setting for the show. The beauty of the set ting, the music, the color of the paintings, hung between the trees, set up on easels or stakes on the grass, the artists at work on sketches, the sight of actors working at their lines or festival patrons read ing the next play and the con stant stream of visitors all made a colorful and pleasant scene. The committee states that both Ashland and Medford business men cooperated on the project. Purucker Piano house loaned an electric or gan, and the Ashland Cham ber of Commerce and police department assisted with mov ing and storing it. C. E. Corry; park superintendent, cooperr ated with the society and Ash land Woman's Civic club loan ed its clubhouse for storage of the pictures overnight. The society will meet at the Camp White domiciliary Wednesday, August 27, at 7:30 p.m. Guest artists and anyone interested is invited to attend. A full report of the show will be given by the committee and the ballot scores on all paintings will be available. her company are Lord Pat rick Beresford, whose home is in Ireland, and Lord Plun kett, who has a country man sion in Kent and is Deputy Master of the royal house hold. He has known Princess Margaret and her sister, the Queen, all his life. A farmer friend of the Princess is 38-year-old Tom Egerton, at whose parents' house she has several times been a weekend guest. Princess Margaret never has lacked admirers, and doesn't now. But the fact is there doesn't seem to be a husband for her in the lot.
