MacLachlan, with his wife, daugh.
ter, and three grandchildren are
here today, having just returned
from business and pleasure tour of
European offices of the Mercantile
Stores Corporation, and of the most
noted style-makers of London, Paris,
Berlin and Brussels.
He says he%looks for the biggest
department store business the United
States has ever known during the
coming twelve months.
Blouse to Return
Perhaps one of the most startling
return styles" Of the coming
season, according to Mr.. Mac.
Lachlan, will be the temperance
of the knit blouse, which hasn't
been the vogue for some time. He
looks for quite a craze" in this
line. 1t will be greatly of the
sweater type but a bit more tailored.
Here are few other style hints
which this veteran middle western
department store head brought back
with him:
Hats will continue smaIl-up
straight in front, or down sharply
ut sides and back.
Knees are to be strictly Out-nOt
shown-for skirts are to be from
four to five inches longer.
Curves (meaning greater plump
nessl are more and more ''in trend"
All suits and gowns are to have
more "dressmaker touches" the
strictly mode trend is very much
away from the rigid tailored effect.
There will be more Of laces and
chiffons than for quite some time.
Tweed is very, very fashionable,
especially in ensembles, and Of
course, the English product has top
place. @
Flat pumps, with high heels that
are much studded with rainbow
hued stones for evening wear are
all the rage. There are few buckles
shoes.
Evening bags of tiny beads of
fantastic pattern are now and will
be all the go.
Bare, Legs Out
Few bare legs are seen. abroad,
and the flare here for that sort of
thing is dying out. Stocking
favorites are nude and gray.
Hair is still bobbed abroad AMI
will stay that way.
There will be furs and furs and
furs for everything.
And, oh, yes, many foreign shops
are showing the, Quickest of cock
tail napkins" OF course. as was
remarked. that shouldn't interest
