HAVE YOU HEARD?


The engagement Of the young
woman who is destined to become
Queen Of England, Princess Eliz-
abeth and Lieut.. Philip Mountbat-
ten, is said to be truly a love
match. This is to BE- no marriage Of
convenience upon which the fate OF
a nation or an empire depends.
The young lieutenant is said to
be fine chap with a fine war re-
cord, and tall and handsome
enough to be every girls dream
man. They say too, that the Prin-
cess is much prettier than her pic
lures, and they'll make the hand
soonest royal couple in all Europe.
One Of the greatest modern ad-
vancements in infant care is the
seat devised to hold a young baby,
recently patented by prominent
pediatrician. It's made of light
weight plywood, weighing only
three pounds and can be fastened
securely to any stationary object.
1t can be tied to a crib railing, any
type chair, the back Of car, plane,
bus or train seats. Rubber tips on
the bottom keep the seat in any de-
sired position. Commercial airlines
think so highly of it that they are
now making it standard equipment
on many lines. Mothers say it is
worth it's weight in gold. 1t comes
in natural finish, pink or blue
enamel with waterproof pad in
amusing nursery print, and a
three-way webbing strap buckles
around infants waist leaving arms
and legs free to kick and stretch.
GLAMOR
If you've never worn a strapless
brassiere with playclothes or even
ing gowns you can't imagine how
comfortable they really are. The
styling of wired and boned bras
sieres has made strides since the
wired ones were first introduced
last year.
Girls no longer buy brassiere
in their bust measurement without
having fitting in the shop by an
expert filter. Some brassiere manu-
facturers are making a basic bra
in seven different cup measure
ments which eliminate bra altera-
tions for SO percent of the custom
ers. Newer bras have tubular straps
SO they won't cut or bind and the
back closings are adjustable.
There is a strapless uplift bra
with concealed boning creating
support which elimin-
ates uncomfortable wire pressure.
A drawstring thru the top adjusts
the bra to your figure. 1t can be
worn also with straps, if preferred,
which come with the bras, to be at
tached.
The Millinery Creators Guild of
New York has introduced line
of hats to conform with the radical
changes in 1947 fashions. Hats will
be created full instead of high to
go with the longer skirts.
. The silhouettes are radical
change from previous years. Hats
are now called "disc-line" (taking
their cue from flying saucers, no
doubt). There are puffy beret
crowns and soft turban draped
crowns in sharp contrast to the
severe simple head fitted crown of
the past.
To balance the longer skirts,
pill-boxes are elaborately draped,
turbans are elegant and berets are |
dramatically cOntoured. The hats
are mainly unadorned because of |
the elaborate and elegant fabrics |
IF which they are made, unless |
they have a feather trimming, and
feathers there are on nearly all
Feathers range from
,he large ostrich to the small curl
I'd ostrich, to long slender pleas
mt feathers, iridescent cog feath-
,rs, varieties of quills, both plain
and speckled, to brushes, POM
ooms and even complete birds.
Stardust yelling is popular, con-
,inuing the frenzy of sequins used
asst year, and wells with golden
,all fringe will be seen.
WOMEN
ConsOling news to the many
,oung hopefuls who look longingly
n the fashion magazines and
movie glamor magazines is that
,ou need not be beautiful to be a
model.
A good figure and refinement are
