activities.
The hard working ladies "un-
der forty" (these are the active
members) represent q great
part of Washington's residen-
tial society. and befittingly they
chose the Chevy Chase Club for
the luncheon. This Is a mems
club but one look at 1t yester-
day would have made the
point questionable. The large
rooms teamed with about 800
Of the fairer sex, turned out
in their best fall finery.
One elderly member Of the
club braved the storm and

again.
The ladies gathered down
stairs in the club at about noon

tables in the upstairs dining
room with their fresh fruit
cups and creamed chicken, the

Mrs. Arnold Wilcox announced
that "the first order of busi-
ness Is the Outgrown fashion
show"
With that Mrs. John Horton
took over as commentator say
ing: "This afternoon we win
prove to you, you can be chic
for $2.98." This turned out to
be a slight exaggeration but
not much as Mrs. Harrison
Brand tripped forth in CLAM
orous cocktail dress, "size 10
and $780," and Mrs. James
Lizard showed pink satin Bal
enciaga ball grown for the
large sum of $25.
Following the luncheon Mrs.
Wilcox introduced Nine. van

NEW YORK, N. Y.-To a
fashion editor one spring suit
never made a season. One
''look" in a season, however, is
something else.
MAURICE RENTNER couples
the soft look" that Identifies
this fashion season with his
superb tailoring and achieves
the epitome of what fashion
should represent. it's the fem
mime. fine-fitting clothes that
every woman should enjoy wear
ing.
The American figure is rated
the prettiest in the world. It'll
have a chance to prove it's claim
to fame with the new styles.
The higher waistline, lowered
necklines, dropped backlines and
softly curved nodded appearance
created via the princess, empire,
regency or directoire lines
take your pick are all out
to prove this premise. GA hint
to those women who never let a
pastry tray go by, invest first in
a good foundation garment and
THEN go out and try on the
new stylesD
Most suits at RENTNER'S are
called "dress suits" Crushed
detachable cummerbund accent
some jacket lines to produce a
really soft look. A kerchief COL
lar on brown wool suit changes
it from a tailored suit to one
with really dress qualities. Col
lars of all shapes, sizes, and va
rieties all in dressmaker vein
give his suit jackets great de-
sign worth.
We liked 10 COPELAND'S
dress and jacket Of navy peau de
sole with its squared off revers-
ible. jacket composed of tiny val
lace rufhes. This designer says
the too obvious strapless dress
will have competition in the
dresses with their sunback lines
deep wedge cuts, and wide
square cutouts. A tiny strap
might be the only shoulder COW
