NEW YORK, N. Y.-Fashion
would be fun if only women would
realize that every style is not fo1
every woman. I lunched with Peg
Fischer, leading New York milliner,
the other day. Discussing the fash
ion world, as was inevitable, she
came out with the bright saying
that if women would only get the
feeling of fashion they would be
a lot better off than just adopting
everything that came along. you
know, there's a lot of bad fash
ion," Peg said.
With the coming Of spring. Peg
feels that though there will be
tremendous hats being worn, wom-
en- who can't do them justice
should just leave them alone. The
main thing a fashion should do is
to really be f1attering part of
you, not something just stuck on
for the startling effect. Regard
ing the hooded menace" as last
seasons fashion rage has been titled
by so many millinery people, Peg
had this to say: 'The women that
never wore hats, who simply tied
kerchiefs over their heads Babuska
fashion, were the women who took
keenly to this hood idea" There's
no substitute for the hat that is
becoming and that successfully
compliments costume -.
I t.otted over tc see Brooke Cad
wallader's new spring scarf coliec-
ton at his studio day before yes
terday. The artistry of design and
beauty of the coloring of his scarfs
are probably the most fashion fun
for the money that you can buy.
The mans scarfs are original not
only in subject matter, but in the
creation of new shapes and new
uses for scarfs. Some of his de-
signs are on rectangles instead of
squares. diversified ascotS and
four-in-hands were shown, too
One of his most fascinating scarfs
is one that has complete (and
guaranteeO recipe for Bouilliabaisse
Marseillaise exquisitely drawn on it.
The border is equally succulent
with things to eat surrounding the
recipe. Mr.. Cadwallader suggests
that his stoles be worn to dress up
dark summer cottons and to be
worn with dinner clothes. Destined
to be conversation pieces are an
other scarf series by Mr.. Cadwallad-
er. These scarfs are treated in
the manner of French waiter aprons
with bib fronts and workmanlike
strap ties. These are to be worn
for "at-home" wear and are made
up in lush flower patterns. =.
Here's what two well-known men
In the industry. have to say con-
corning miladys shoes for spring.
Larry Horan Of a company famous
in the shoe world, feels that this
spring American women will find
themselves wearing magic" slip
pers of emerald green, rose, pigeon
gray, Tyrol blue, cognac brown and
hydrangea colors. The return of
the pastel colored shoe is the first
since before the war. Now dyes
and feathers are once more avail
able. Simplicity of line in a shoe
is going to win out for spring. And
Mr.. Koran is fond of saying, "a
pretty shoe will always sell" ;"
Women are hungry for this type
of shoe because of the uplift quality
of the colors and because these
shoes tie in with the romantic feel
ing of the new spring clothes.
Seymour Troy of the famous baby
doll" last, is of the opinion that
there is strong return in the
present picture to the closed shoe.
He also feels that shoe silhouette
can be launched. In some cases it
catches on. In other sections not
even a murmur is heard. He at
tributes this to the fact the geog-
raphy is an important part Of buy
ing Southern stores will buy more
open shoes than will Northern ones.
