New Styles Make
You Appear Young
Designers Bend Energies to
Follow Trend.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

You are supposed to look your
youngest this season. To this end
designers are bending their energies
with utmost enthusiasm-to do Just
that for you, give you youth.
1t is of course an easy matter
for the young to look the youth of
their years in the new swing skirts,
the frilly-frilly petticoat hemlines,
the demure bonnets, the gay ribbons
and flowers and colorful vanities
that glorify the mode these days,
but the big news is that fashion is
giving a chance to each and every
one of her followers regardless of
years and "curves" to visit the foun-
tain of youth and partake.
To prove our argument, consider
the new pleated and multi-gored
skirts that center the stage this sea-
son. If you are slight and slim and
sweet sixteen" pleats are let go
flare from the waistline as turbu-
lently and frolicsome as they please,
but when it comes to the woman
who needs must give the impression
of being slender whether she is or
not, fashion has in nowise forgot
ten her. There are pleated skirts
that actually slenderize, in that the
pleats are adroitly stitched down to
proper depth so as to achieve
smooth fitted line.
The new hats are youthful, too,
and the gay colored accessories
fashion insists you must wear be
you young or not so young refuse
to keep record of birthday anniver-
saries and what with costumes pref
tied with utterly feminine frilly-frilly
lingerie touches there is no doubt
about it we will all be looking fresh

springtime days.
