Ensembles Step
For New Season
"A costume season" can be
sweet music to the ears of
fashion conscious women.
It's good news now as cos
tumes and ensembles step out
with real swing for the new
season.
Worth talking about are the
two - and - three part fashions,
usually starting with a hand
somely - shaped sheath that
can "go it alone" anywhere
and everywhere in smart
style.
Add to this a bright coat
dramatized by a matched - to
the - dress lining, a demi fit
jacket, a bolera or a sweater
and the dress becomes doub
ly impdrtant in any setting .
Smart basic dresses, inter
esting and exciting by them
selves are often enhanced this
season by capes, and jackets
with a cape - effect. At smart
late - day and evening gath
erings these ensembles are des
tined to make a grand en
trance. , ' , '
Two-Piec Ensembles
i, Two-piece ensembles of ov
erblouse and skirt are often
topped with casual cardigan
jackets, lined and unlined.
Many of these take printed
tops that coordinate with the

Attention Focused
On Legs This Year
These days a gal hasn't a
leg to stand on, from a fash
ionplate standpoint, unless
her gams are scrupulously
groomed! Sheer hosiery,
dainty shoe styles and shorter
skirts focus attention on legs.
So, here are some quick
tips from the Lady Reming
ton Beauty Institute: Once a
week give yourself a pedicure
from toes to knee-cap. Use
all the trimmings: fragrant
bath oil,; pumice stone, nail
polish and skin cream. And,
be sure to defuzz legs. Use an
electric shaver, of your own.
to ellmlnalte nicks and
scrapes that can mar the good
looks of marble-smooth legs.
Take advantage, too, of new
spring hosiery shades to flat
ter your limbs. Rosy shades,
warm beiges and tan tones
will round out the shape of a
thin leg visually. Darker
tones will tend to minimize
plumper limbs;
Lastly, keep snoes in snip-
shape condition to complete
that bandbox appearance
from foot to head. -

Just For Fun i
The playwear world of
girls up to subteens is bright
with "mad, mad, mad" prints
and hotter than hot colors
in new leisure - wear fashions
and culottes (these are seen
in both dress and skirt styles),
plus standard playtime wear.
Textured and patterned
knits, woven plaids and other,
cottons are all making a big
splash In bathing suits and all
have a very feminine look
about them, with ruffles and
pleats, trimmings of laces and
eyelets. Single piece suits are
seen most, with baby bikinis
and three-quarter styles avail
able for the more "daring" of
the young fun set.
Color Interest in bathing
suits Is centered on gold and
lavender . . . while still very
much in the picture, are the
brighter hues and the new,
off-color, exciting pastels, ,

Four Steps Listed
To Dramatize Eyes
The woman who receives
lavish attention is the woman
whose eyes are bewitchingly
beautiful because she subtly
enhances them with eye make
up, and lovely eyes are focal
points for spring.
There are four steps, say
Coty cosmetologists, that will
damatlze a woman s eyes.
First, select a subtle eye
shadow color that blends with
the color of your gown. Stroke
the shadow in a wide swath
just above the lashes, then
blend with fingertiDs, up
ward and outward but not
beyond the edge of the brow,
For a more exotic effect, use
iridescent eye shadow in con
junction with eye shadow
chosen, and lightly blend in
for a luminous effect.
The second step is to line
the eyes with liquid liner.
Hold your mirror below your
face so that eyes are half-
closed; Starting at the inner
corner, draw a fine line along
the .base of the upper lashes
Finish with a short, fine, up
tilted stroke at the corners to
give them a longer look.
.: The third; step fdarken
Drows to cuauuiuny accent
the eyes. Apply pencil In
feather strokes to, the hairs
of the brows, touching the
skin only to , fill in sparse
places or to reshape or arch
the brows. Then, gently blend
in with the little finger or
brush. ' ' , :
The fo-:rth step, which
gives a deep, romantic luster
to eyes, Is to sweep over the
lashes from base to tip using
a wand-type mascara applica
tor. When the- lashes appear
thick and luxurious, tip the
ends with an exotic iridescent
shade.
If you buy modern furni
ture piece by piece from the
same group, be sure that the
other pieces will he in stock
for the time you are ready to
add to your set.

Fiesta of Spring Color Couples
With Mood Suggestive of Past
There's a fiesta of color in
the fashion showings for
spring that's coupled with a
mood suggestive of the past
revisited. . ,. i
Contemporary versions ot
silhouettes from the Thirties
are newly and excitingly ex
pressed for '61 in long-walst-ed,
overblouse dresses - in
provincial themes (remember
the. dirndl rage?) - culottes for
at - home and everywhere -and
in the "vamp" look! There
is also a special focus in this
season's ras'nlons on "back in
terest" themes.
Much more important and
twice as stimulating for the
coming season is fashion's dra
matic, new concern with col
or. ,
Come into Focus -. -,
Picture an entire spectrum
of bold, exciting color. Elec
trify the rainbow with shock
after shock of high voltage
hues '-.- then, only then, can
this veritable kaleidoscope
come into focus.
There are intense pinks and
posh purples, polished orang
es and ripe ' peaches, hot pi
miento and cool shrimp, sun
ny lemons and golden apri
cots, terrific turquois hues and
sparkling periwinkles, cool
limes and grass-bright greens,
- this is the glamor gamut of
Spring's fashion palette.
It was in the '30's when
shocking pink first caught
fashion's fancy for its startling
value. Since then,, "shock''
colors have come and gone.

MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON
but this season marshals an
entire shock brigade into a
fabulous parade. !
Big Salute :
There's a big salute too for
the nautically - nice tricolor
- red, white and blue. And,
the staccato notes of black and
white, or white with black
creates a spring tone poem of
their own.
The jigsaw puzzle pieces of
the fashion picture fall into
place smoothly - held togeth
er with a frame of fabulous
fabric.
Look at this wondrous line
up: softer - than - a - whisper
woolen mixtures that weigh a
whispy . 4-ounces, dramatic
drapables such as chiffon,
crepe and matte jersey, ele
gantly - ribbed ottomans,
failles, gabardines and new
looking twills .and piques,
light but textured nubby
tweeds and spankin' new bas
ket weaves.
A lacy look enlivens all fab
rics, and linen is important,
too. Silk, however, is the real
news, in authentic weaves and
in miracle blends that "out
silk" the real, thing.
Borrowed from Artists
Borrowed from the avant
garde artists of the Thirties
are flights of fancy rendered
in impressionist and abstract
prints. :
Blazer stripes are eminent
ly important . . . there's a
quaint but not necessarily
"cute" charm to provincial
prints, and - a discreet ele
gance to restrained geomet
ries of silk-look fabrics.
So, with a wide choice of
exciting,' stimulating color -a
fabulous -variety of flatter
ing silhouette and price tags
of course, to please' every bud
get - shopping for fashions
for spring can't help but be
thrilling, fun - filled adven
ture: :.)...-...
Follow the new directions
and head for a gala, well
groomed season. .
FOR TOWN AND COUNTRY

leather looks crispy-elegant in
a subtle bone shade. Its wide

look, according to the Leather
Industries, of America..
