Fall Styles as
Observed in
New York
By Wilma La Vile

NEW YORK, July 25.-Have
you thought about the decided
change that has taken place in
fashions during the past year?
From the chaos of last July,
I!e have evolved a stabilized
mode that is not radically diff.
ferent, but is so much more
beautiful and becoming.
This time last year the whole
world was excited about the
new fashions which were sup
posed to be so different and
which most worhen resented
with a fervor that was almost
fanatic. This distrust was un-
necessary. for the Paris de-
signers never intended their
fashions to be so exaggerated
as they were for a while in
America.
Hemlines dashed suddenly
downward. Women who didn't
like such q decided change
tried to compromise by means
of an uneven hem. WaiStlines
were uncertain about where
they belonged. Clothes were
supposed to be feminine but
many of them were merely
fussy. Figures were a strange
combination of the boyish and
the dignified feminine figure
that finally won.
This July sees a new and
more favorable condition. Hem
lines have finally decided on
their lengths. The waiStline
is normal for all times. Figures
are always feminine. Further
more every woman has
achieved a grace and roiSe
that is so much more charming
than the uncertainty Of other
seasons.
We can look forward to the
fall season with the assurance
that fashions will be more sure
of themselves and that what
eyer we buy we can find some
thing becoming and individual.
This article is written from
New York during a busy week
of reviewing late summer and
fall fashions. Next week we
will be glad to answer any
questions you might like to
ask about fashions, present or
future, at The Times Fashion
Office. Just call Miss LaVille
at District $3.50, Extension, 165.
