Pretty Hats


If you are one of the major
ity (59%o) of American women
who wear eyeglasses, can you
also wear the smart new hats?
The Millinery Institute of
America in checking with lead
ing designers, found that wear
ing eyeglasses has very little to
do with what styles Of hats a
woman can wear.
II you wear glasses. milliners
say, your only consideration
should be to coordinate the
design Of your hat with the de-
sign Of your eyeglass frames.
With appropriate frames,
you can wear almost any hat.
OF course you may desire
more than one pair of eye
glasses.
With sportswear, sturdy,
practical frames are what you
may want.
Depending on the size and
shape Of your face. these may
be bold and dark or made of
bright-colored plastic.
With such frames, your casu-
al hat should be one with clean,
simple lines and interesting
color.
Trimmings, If any. should be
bold enough to balance the
optical weight Of the frames
making the eyeglasses part of
the decorative scheme.
A brimleSs or off-face hat is
best with prominent frames
as it avoids distracting sha-
dows to the face.

afternoon dresses you might
choose . pair Of eyeglasses

'57 Homes Seen Ringing
On Credit Situotion

months of 1856. Their figures
show 8,704 homes sold and ac-
|cupied through July, compared
to S.489 sold and occupied dur
ling the same seven-month period
in 1855.
These figures are somewhat
under the postwar record years,
and they reflect several factors
now working to depress activity
in the housing market.
The 1856 area housing market
has been characterized by an in
creased cost of fiancing. The dis
count rate generally experienced
in this area is 8 percentage
points.
This means the seller of a
home must pay a discount Of this
much to the lending agency, and
unless the builder-seller figures
this into his price, it sometimes
makes him question whether or
not he should wait out what
may be a temporary condition in
the mortgage market.
Builders are prepared to con-
struct large volume of houses.
But this depends on the avail
ability of credit, and in certain
local sections of the community
builders are awaiting the con-
struction of sewer facilities that
are, expected to be completed by
January. This has particular re-
ference to treatment plants now
underway at Dogue Creek and
Hunting Greek in Fairfax
County.
There have been some localized
delays in sewer construction in
parts of the Washington Subur-
ban Sanitary District, but the
solutions for providing these
facilities are under discussion in
the local governing bodies.
The Home Builders Association
OF Metropolitan Washington has,
IN every instance, offered the
services of its technical depart
ment to assist these county
agencies in whatever way they
desire.
Builders have noted through
out the year steady improve
ment in their relationships with
the Federal Housing Administra-
ton and the Veterans Admins
tration. At the moment it seems
that conventional loans are
generally the most convenient
and most readily obtained. from
the buyers point of view. al
though the interest rate is
slightly higher than under the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-09-08
BY LEWIS T. BREUNINGER

President. Home Builders. Association Of
Metropolitan washington
The experience of home
builders and mortgage bankers
in the Metropolitan Area OF
Washington seems to indicate
that the more luxurious type of
house will get a larger play from
home buyers next year.
Area builders are finding the
greatest market activity this
year in homes in the $4,000 to
$27, 900 price bracket.
This has meant a lessening in
the number of homes available
in the $4,000 to $4,000 price
bracket, but there are still plenty
of these being built in suburban
Maryland and Virginia.
While It's a bit early to forecast
the number of homes that will
be constructed in 1856, the best
estimate available at this point
is 1900 single-family units.
This projection is based on
utility company connections
made during the first seven
