Women's News New York High fashion grows top-heavy for spring, 1960, with exaggerated sleeve lines, sloping shoulders and tiny midriffs giving a girl plenty of room at the top. Mollie Parnis designed this sheer white wool with a graceful circular skirt. A narrow black calf belt ties at the waist for accent. UPI Telephoto) Coat, Tunic Dresses Good Los Angeles - Here comes Spring, 1960, and with it a strong emphasis on dresses that interpret the clean, un cluttered, youthful American Look. A softly tailored look even in quite feminine styles is noted. The coat dress ap pears in many different ver sions; tunics are important, newest extending to within three or four inches of the hemline of the dress; the shirt frock wil continue to be a favorite. Dresses -with matching jackets or coats will be especially popular for the new season. The delightful sheer, crease resisting, smoothly crisp wor steds lend themselves both to the tailored trend and the many moods of the weather, cozy under coats, just right without wraps on those balmy, sunny days of early Spring. Crepes have staged an al most dramatic return in all sorts of surfaces from semi smooth to crinkly and peb bled. Another of the worsted favorites back, after quite an absence is gabardine, perfect for the tailored feeling, non wrinkling, fine for travel, and just . about as long-lived as an armadillo. Mens wear worsteds and flannels are to be noted in the new trend to crisper fabrics. Soft - hand woolens are considerably in evidence, also, among them the soft, sheer weight tweeds; light weight sheers with a fine frosting of boucle or mo hair loops, or a bit of fur con tent. Sleeve Detail Sleeves lend a lot of new ness to Spring dresses and costumes with emphasis on shoulder width achieved through sleeve detail. There are batwing and semi-dolman cuts with underarm fullness, kimono styles, funnel shapes, belled types, even capelike widths in dressier fashions. Waistlines take a stand, but not a single one - some dress es have wide, fitted inserts which may be beltless or cir cled with wide to very nar row belts; there . seems a bit of a trend to lower waistlines again: bodices bloused out over fitted waistlines show up both on dresses and jackets posed over them. The slim line dress continues well in the lead, but there is a gen eral easing away from the form -fitting sheath. Pleated skirts are increasing in im portance, notably firmly creased in keeping with the more tailored trend. The so- called Chanel look continues, ----- V : : ' "M especially in jacket costumes with loose, hipbone length cardigans over slim dresses with narrow or pleated skirts.

Decorating With Fruit A fruit bowl or a bounti ful basket placed in a spot where it's easy for the fam ily to help themselves is a decorative as well as a health ful element to the home. Mar garet Spader, home service consultant of the Gas Appli ance Manufacturers Associa tion, says fresh fruit is an ideal snack for weight watch ers and persistent nibblers. Frosty grapes, red and gold en apples, packaged sunshine of citrus fruit and the grace ful form of bananas add col or, aroma and hospitality to the home. 4 FOR THE SALAD SET Los Angeles UPD Perk up salads with new and unex pected ingredients.

Hop kins, Old Military road, Cen tral Point, returned last week after a visit with their son, M a j. Curtis E. Hopkins, USAF, at Minot, N.D. Mr. and Mrs. Hopkins drove to Portland where they took the Great Northern rail road Empire Builder through Glacier National park to Mi not. At Minot' they were met by Major Hopkins and his wife Betty Jane, who is for merly of Medford, and their children Cherry, 13, Curt in, 9, Janelle, 5, and Steven, 6 months. Major Hopkins is squadron operations officer at the Mi not air base. He is responsible for training crews in the jet refueling squadron. He is a Medford high school gradu ate. 1 While visiting in Minot the Hopkins saw one of the huge refueling aircraft and attend ed' a squadron New Year's Eve party. The Major , and his family live in Minot and the major commutes to the field 15 miles away. Housing has been completed for the enlisted men at the newly expanded Air Force base but not for the officers, Mrs. Hopkins said. While visiting Minot the Hopkins experienced temper atures ranging from 20 de grees above zero to 25 degrees below zero and winds one week blew from 50 to 75 miles an hour. Citizens of Mi not, who are mainly of Swe dish, Norwegian and German origin, were generous with their Christmas cookies, Mrs. Hopkins said. These are made on special Sandmavian cook ie irons. For Spring vorite and also combinations of jersey dresses with light weight woven wool coats. - Pale beige, bone, off-whites and white are right out in front in the color story, also pale and medium greys, clay to brown tones, lots of greens from mint to light olive, al ways blues from clear sky to gentian and bright navy. Pale tones of amethyst, lilac and violet are shown. Among the brights are pinks of the shock ing family, clear yellow, reds and corals.

FOOD WARMER An automatic baby food warmer is designed to make feeding time easier and more pleasant for both mother and baby. The warmer holds a three-course meal and keeps it hot through an entire meal.

A light on the cord shows when food has reached the desired tem perature.

All can be reconstituted with milk or formula and come in eight-ounce boxes. New York -(CP&- Wild tur keys were an important food source for American Indians long before European settlers arrived. But today's turkeys are far different than their ancestors. The early birds were wiry, tough and sinewy because they had to fly to survive. It took many hours of careful cooking to make the meat tender enough to eat. skirts but Seventh Avenue manufacturers skip the Paris hobble of last season, hem lines remain the same as last spring, shoulders remain rounded but sleeves never have been bigger or breezier. Sleeves are caped. kimo noed, cut waistline deep, dol maned, fluted, funneled and flared. And many of them on suits and coats are chopped off at the elbow and above. The wide, airy sleeve treat ments so dominate the New York collections being shown this week to some 250 visiting reporters that Jane Arend, showroom director for Lord's Sportswear, composed this bit of doggerel: Styles in Change "Last season, my collars concerned me; "Before that, I sagged in the sack; "Between these, I floated winged panels "With streamers from both side and back. "Now, these things are no longer vital, "It's almost too much to be lieve "That all of the chic that I constantly seek "Now depends on the size of my sleeve." Helping to create the top heavy look also are bloused effects in suits, dresses and costumes. The New York couture group, with 55 designer mem bers and auxiliary groups, sponsors the semi - annual shows. The group's "watch for" roundup suggested the woman shopper watch for these other major trends for spring: - A tendency to longer jackets in suits, although there still will be plenty of latitude in choice. Some suit jackets will come well below the hipbone for a tunic ef fect. An increase in the num ber of belted and collarless suits and the continued popu larity for the semi-fitted suit jacket. Fitted Capes - In coats, the cape back with flat front is a new sil houette; fitted, semi-fitted and belted; coats continue, and there are many of the double breasted, coachman types. -In dresses, slim silhouettes dominate for daytime, but there is a resurgence of the full-cut dirndl of another day. -The coat dress is a favorite spring costume; runner - up, the full length coat and dress of matching silk or silk and wool. . - Double skirts with the tunic almost as narrow as the underl a y e r; oriental over- skirts slashed at the sides; skirts box, knife and accor dion-pleated. Drastically low-cut strap less evening dresses dominate, and there are sleeveless day time and sports dresses throughout the collections. The slender evening dress and the full-skirted, short formal share honors for dressy occa sions. - In fabrics, chiffon runs throughout the collections and designers talk in terms of vardaee in a skirt: one manu facturer showed an afternoon chiffon using 16 yards of ma terial. Mesh and knit-like tex tures are important; silk prints abound in dresses ana costumes. - Grey looms large as a soring basic shade: the vari ous tones of beige to bone are popular; strong violet is a favorite with many design-1 ers! and white is used for coats and suits as well as dresses.
