JV?DNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 21, 1960 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, ORE Tamper, Flatter, Please' Aim of Fall 1960 Styles jFasalon aims not to startle pr shock fc'it to pampor, flat to arid please, with its fall t0 array of appealing, De faming wearables. No radical ghanges in style take place -the focus is all on helping ev ery yoman look her prettiest. In teach of a great variety Bjt silhouettes, there's more femininity, and in every price fange. there's more emphasis ttn quality of fabric, tailoring, trim. : A feeling of luxury domi nates. Fur and fur facsimilies enhance coats, dresses, suits and sportswear. The glow of sequins, beads and gold threads lights up the late- day - into - evening scene. ). Fabrics, whether lustrous, textured or smooth surfaced, quietly insist on elegance. Colors glow richly - "jewel tones" and "vintage hues" are frequently mentioned, t; Though silhouettes vary, they unite in a preference for the more fluid line. Bodices and jackets blouse gently. Waistlines often are marked by easy, self-fabric belts. Skirts ripple with pleats, flare prettily, fall in soft ga thers. Some of the shapes fashion takes are: the long torso, with lowered waistline, and, echo ing this, the longer - jacket suit; the tunic, slim or flared; id the pleasingly feminine princess. K Trend to more bountiful skirts continues, especially for Jewelry Reflects Prosperous Aspect Jewelry, in line with the fashion of the times, reflects the prosperous look this fall. Huge pins, necklaces, ear rings and bracelets employ colors' to the striking advan tage of fall clothing. A royal awareness is evidenced by real looking "court dia monds," fine settings and jeweled headpieces. The feel ing is resplendent. Long and many - stranded necklaces are predominant. Heaps of stones, sometimes combined with Beads in varie gated shades for fall, do won ders to a dress of complemen tary color. Coin -spangled gold chains add vibrance to the sweater look. Coin bracelets and large, hoop. earrings do the same for evening wear. Collars, bibs and woven, bead berthas give neckline opulence. Thfere is no chance of fall ing into a single jewelry hab it, however. Large earrings and bold, stone studded pins can effect a new look, doing away with the necklace alto gether. Glittering tiaras, crowns, combs and pins switch emphasis to the hair. Unusual pieces can win many friends, but most im portant jewelry news of the fall season is apt to be color. Topaz, jet, plum and sapphire appear pure, shaded or alter nating with beads or rhine ItoneS. ; Red, blue, green and their tributary shades are promi nent, as well. In fact, it may be safe to say that an orna ment can be found in every popular color to accentuate any fall outfit most effective ly. ' festive dressing, while the sheath, though remaining slim, relaxes intocasier lines. A touch of draping distin guishes many shirtwaist types. Shape Impressive Coals Simple fluid lines and full er skirts call for impressive coats. Cape shaping is a strong influence most often seen in coats with cape backs and flat or semi - fitted fronts. Others follow with a modified barrel line. Following the new rule of fashion diversity, coat choice includes slim styles with top width, fitted styles, princess and long torso mod els. Diversity within a ward robe is provided by an im portant number of reversible coats. With the lavish use of fur and the late-day glitter of bead and sequin embroidery, designers have wisely kept other details modest. An in stance is the treatment of collars. Collars Vanish Often, they vanish entire ly, giving way to jewel neck lines or soft draping. Some times fur trim combines with the no-collar look, as a cir clet of fur is placed away from a high and rounded neckline. Scarf ties, plain and fring ed, are favorites - either as an integral part of the dress or jacket or as a detachable addition. Costumes Flourish Sleeves, too, are less flam buoyant, slimming down from last season's styles. The easy funnel, however, retains its importance as a sleeve shape. Costumery not only contin ues ml increases its scope. Suits appear in three parts jacket, skirt, blouse, and sometimes weskits mgke a fourth. Overblouses, scarf tied at the hem, pair with jacket linings, in solids and superlative prints. Dress and jacket costumes earn fashion dividends from morn to mid night and after. Maternity Clothes Follow Fall Styles It's news in the fashion field, and it's news in ma ternity wear - and it's the tunic again - .'or any and all occasions and in every con ceivable fabric.

Junior Favorites Available for Youth Junior editions of Mom's and Dad's favorites are shoe ing young feet this fall. Girls favor pumps or strap shoes, and delight in styles that create the illusion of ta pered toes "just like Mom's," according to Shoe Fashion Service of Leather Industries of America. Gleaming black patent lea ther pumps step into the sea son as a year-round favorite. Luster leather shell pumps, with or without strap effects, are a treasured party shoe.
