As much as the stores would
like 1t and we'd be terribly fiat
tered, too. we really don't expect
you to rush right out and go on
o mad buying spree for fall and
winter clothes just because our
New York reports on the latest
fashions are going to start ap-
pearing on these pages.
What we'd really like you to
do is as you sit reading on your
patio, in your aforementioned
apartment, or any place you've
discovered where you can escape
the heat, is to note the trends
that appeal to you and consider
them carefully when your own
fall wardrobe time makes its
appearance on the calendar.
Our pictures will indicate spe-
cific trends from individual de-
signers. There will be plenty of
general trends noted, too. The
clothes themselves won't be
available for some time locally,
but should one style really "hit"
you cut out the picture and let
1t serve as a handy guide when
you do go shopping.
AS the highlights unfold them
selves they'll be duly reported on
our fashion pages.
However, already certain
trends are shaping up for the
fall and winter 1853 season.
DON'T BE SURPRISED if you
see printed woods and lace .
LEATHER used as a fabric .
FEWER belts FUZZY coat
ings EMPIRE silhouettes

bosom to the thigh I. . WIDEN

BE SURPRISED if you see lot
of petticoats and full skirts.
SHAPE to be all important and
the figure to be the main attrac-
ton in nearly all designs.
Those contours will have to be
pared down if you really want to
do justice to the many slim
silhouetted fashion fancieS that
will be about. 80.
