Among major decisions to be made by the buyers dur ing the next several weeks are the following: How long I he hemline; which way the waist; what fabrics arc the most likely to succeod; and will milady from Main Street, U.S.A., favor prints more than solids, dots more than prints or what. Along Seventh avenue, you see, the buyers rule. By their selections, they decide which of the hundreds of creations hot off the drawing boards have the biggest chance of succeeding. Orders "Rule" They rule with the order book. The dresses with the greatest chance of attracting milady's fancy back home are ordered the most. A dress with a lot of orders becomes a "hot number." At stake in the garment district sessions about lo com mence are jobs --- and profits. A designer or dress-making house that gambles with the scissors, bolls of material, pins and needles loses if Ihe line goes over like a lead balloon. That's one reason most col lections usually contain a lit tle of everything in fashion's whirl. Sample of the smorgasbord: a few slightly restyled new i versions ot past "Hot num I hers": many of the slightly modified old faithful successes - classics that most any wo-; man can wear: and traces of ! avant garde styles. j The designers usually con sider the latter their pride and joy and would like to see such styles become "ho! numbers." But most buyers viewing the versions of tomorrow's way out styles today prefer to lake lilllc steps leaning nol too much on avanl garde. They know whal sells. They know one bad season and eir jobs arc lost. They all remember Ihe numbers of Ihe way out type that burned Ihein in the past. "That's tor the clearance rack." is their way of saying a new style jusl won't make the grade with their custom, ers no matter how highly Ihe designer thinks of It "Remember the sack." is Ihe battle cry along Seventh avenue. More than a few buy ers "got burned" when that hoi number made It to Ihe clearance racks post haste. - - Mutlttoa Camp To Hold Meeting Mistletoe camp.
