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

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

Fashion Decision
For Happy Male
By GAY PAULEY
UPI Women's Editor
New York OD Oh to
be a man shopping for a new
fall wardrobe. 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.

Mrs. C. G. Shouts, 633 Penn
sylvania avenue. Mrs. John
son is the former Carole
Johnson.

to Monmouth, Ore., where
Mr. Johnson will be on the

Education in the fall. He will
be an instructor in journal
ism and take charge of pub
lic relations for the . school.
He has been enrolled at the
University of Oregon and
studying towards his master's
degree in journalism.
Friday evening the visitors
were honored at a small din
ner party given by Mr. and

No Fiance on Horizon
For Princess Margaret
By MARGARET SAVILLE
United Press International !
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.

Margaret and her sister, the

A farmer friend of the
Princess is 38-year-old Tom
