Milady's New Look Will Make New Holes
InPapa'sPockeibook During Coming Year
Telling
Br EPSIK KINARD
NEA Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, (NEAI Milady's
new look H going to cut 35 per cent
deeper Into father' pay envelop
next tprlng, If mother and the girls
Insist that their spring finery be
long and loopy and all cluttered up
with tucking and pleating and nich
ing and other detail.
Even If they are willing to be
conservative to get by with lower
hemline, extra fullness and more
decoration, but all In moderation
their new wardrobes-still will cost
at least 10 per cent more than the
wartime silhouette did.
The long, full-skirted dress takes
twice as much fabric as the wartime
version and more than that if the
atyle Is extravagant. Rayon, spring s
popular dress fabric. Is so scarce It
has become a speculator's dream,
and now It often costs the manu
facturer two and a half times the
pegged wartime price.
Labor costs for making dresses
have soared. One Seventh avenue
manufacturer In the New York gar
ment district is paying $90 to a cut
ter who got 50 a week during the
war, and $250 to a pattern-makei
who was getting $75.
The labor cost Is Increased also
because the intricacies of tucking,
pleating, niching and other fancy
detail slow down production by the
higher-paid workers.
In the words of one manufactur
er: "A ready-to-wear dress that
wed to roll off the machines may
now slow down production as much
as 35 per cent because of the band
work now involved.
These things help to explain why
a wartime street dress of rayon
crepe that cost J555 may sell for
I14J5, with the new look, next
spring and why another rayon
street dress that used to sell for $39
may set you back $59.
Spring suits and coats will not
be so hard hit. These took their
price rises earlier. Suits and coats
usually are more conservatively
adapted to the "new look" than
dresses, so they have not had their
yardage so drastically increased.
Also, the price of wool is better sta
bilized than that of rayon.
Look, however, for a higher price
tag on other items of feminine ap
parel. The rise in price of costume
slips and blouses Is explained by
scarce materials plus more expen
- aive workmanship. The so-called
"better slip" of lace-trimmed rayon
crepe, which in war years sold for
J1.98, and which went up to $3.98
last fall, will carry a $5.98 price tag
this spring, says a merchant who
buys for a Southwest department
(tore. He forecasts a comparable in
crease in the price of plain-tailored
ayon blouses.
Other Increases cited by this mer-ehant-buyer
will be in leather
goods for which materials are
scarce and higher-priced and pro
duction costs are rising. He says
shoes tagged $22.98 for spring were
marked (19.50 last fall and $12.98 in
wartime. He says the traditional $5
handbag of genuine calf, which has
been a wardrobe staple for years,
will bring $1355 next spring. This
Is a jump of $3.00 over the price
test fall.
According to buyers, who help
atock the nation's stores, luxury
merchandise which was always
higher-priced is not going much
higher. The biggest price jumps are
usually seen in the lower brackets,
which many manufacturers are
leaving for higher-priced categories.
There are notable exceptions,
however, and heartening examples
of manufacturers who are not only
maintaining their brackets but are
holding the price line. One firm Is
proud of Its ability to maintain 1946
prices the year It started in busi
ness to make "custom-look" fash
ions for women with lean pocket
books. Says Phil Barron, one of the
heads of the firm: "We've stayed In
our bracket, held our price line and
our customers, absorbed all the
rises in cost of production, and still

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. iTo the
Editor! Hardly a day passes
without some newspaper relating a
story f a teen-age child having
commuted some crime against so
ciety. Would It not be fur better lor
the people of this community to
place a tux on slot machines and
other gambling devices so this
money would contribute to the
building o f not one but several
youth recreation centers where the
natural artistic nature of our local
children could be developed Into
something useful to humanity, in
stead of letting all types of vices
inritience the future citizens of our
tuition.
Certain societies have always
fought the legalisation of gambling
In the state and everyone is familiar
with the fact that gambling
exists on a large scale. Therefore,
would It not be better to use this
tux money for our children's bene
fit rather than have a certain few
selfish people benefit entirely.
In the coming election let's force
our politicians to present a definite
view on this subject so we will know
Who is for thp ndvnni.ffnint.t nf
community and who is foe lining his
mi pocsets regardless of the disas
ter it may cause to many children
who are being denied the privileges
nvrj jouiig American should have.
