BY BETTY BLANCHARD

That American designers have made good their threat to divorce U. s. femininity from dungarees and mannish tailleurs was evidenced last night by showing of all that's new in fashion sponsored by the Junior Division of the Waterbury Council of Catholic Women. The presenta- ton, which was followed by card party, was made by Sugenheimer's
 To revive waning style-conscious- ness in the minds of their cherished customers, coutouriers have dived deep into their bag of tricks and brought forth every last bit of al- lure in decoration, used since time immemorial to create the femme fatale Doubtless, the new American charmer will be a welcome sight to our men who returned home to find women living in trousers.
 DecolletteS are daring, dresses are laden with glitter, hats drip with feathers, wide bands of fur border the hemS of coats with plenty of swish, and the form-hugging skirts of formal gowns are split to the knee.
 More Fabric
 The most welcome note in the sea- sons new offering is the more gen. erous use of fabric. Almost every dress boasts at least yard more of material than those of the wartime vintage. It is molded in billoWing bishop sleeves, deep skirt folds, and graceful side cascades from waist to hem.
 Taking tip from Parisian houses, the American sultans of style have added some six inches to their coat suits, which effectively camouflage those hideous hip bulges of the we'll fed American woman. One, model designed with the longer jacket in a pleasing green fabric striped with red, was topped with a three quart er-length coat, featuring the fish tale back.
 The wasp-waisted suit, so becom- ing to women with jeune file lines, is making a return appearance, and proved to be an eye-catcher to last nights spectators. One of the models shown was of soft grey wool, trimmed with double rows of brilliant gold buttons.
 Indicating the Sultans of style are combining imagination with practice ability, the popular black basic dress has acquired welcome appeal by the use of draped bodices, cape sleeves, and interesting peplums. To carry out the dominant note of glitter, sequinS are also used on an enormous pocket or pert red bow.
 Dramatic Gowns
 To heighten the long-awaited social whirl, designers have barred shoulders, split hobble skirts to the knee, and revived the billowing over skirt of the World War I era. One such dramatic gown was made of black crepe shot with gold thread Another of black taffeta relied for added allure, besides bizarre lines on two pink cabbage roses placed on the low deeollete
 Colors to watch are Bacarde Rhum warm brown well blended with beige; Mandarin red, usually con- bined with black, and Surf Green brilliant but not as blaring as Kelly Another attempt has been made to popularize royal blue, now toned
