Fake Furs
Suitable for
Wardrobes

Fake furs are still the
fashion answer for many
women. Full-length coats,
jackets and all sorts of &C
cessories are shown for the
fall and winter seasons in a
range of synthetic weaves
that simulate many members
of the animal kingdom. A
reader writes:
Is poodlecloth still in style?
I have a jacket in this fabric
"a boXy silhouette. Also, I
have slim gray flannel suit
skirt. Would a red and gray
jacket be good with it?
Your poodlecloth jacket
can still be used for sports or
casual wear. If the collar or
edges are worn perhaps you
can add a knit edge in
matching colored wool. A red
and gray striped or plaid
jacket can be combined with
the slim flannel skirt. It can
be either a fitted or straight
jacket depending on which
you feel is most f1attering to
your figure.
Another query: have a
tan blouse, buttoned down
back with beads and pearls
around the front neckline.
Is this out of style? If not,
where can it be worn? Could
the beads be taken off sue
ceSsfully?
This type of blouse when
combined with the proper
skirt can be worn for special
luncheonS, cocktails, the
theater or any dreSSy &C.
casion. 1t would not be wise
to remove beads and pearls
for the material most likely
will be marked from the
thread. However, if you want
to remove them. sew some
velvet or ribbon around the
nrclline to replace the old
trimming and cover any
marks that might show.
Top fashion houses here
and abroad are definitely
raising hemlines but the raise
is a slow one and very subtle.
1t is a problem-which de-
signers recognize too-for
the individual to settle for
herself A reader writes:
Most of my clothes are
about IL inches from the
floor. I am really short and
anything higher than this
leaves me with little skirt.
Do you think I should
shorten my whole wardrobe?
I think at this point 1t
would be foolhardy for you
to attempt such a revision
of hem lengths in your ward
robe. Especially since you are
short, you will have to eval-
uate what is most becoming
on you. 1t is a fact that
women your size vary skirt
lengths within the quarter
and half-inch bracket while
really tall girls can raise
them two and even three
inches at times to get the
same effect. 1t is merely a
matter of relative size and
your own mirror will tell
you better than any one Just
where to stop.
y
Another reader asks: I am
of on a holiday to Florida
this winter and wonder if 1
should take warm clothes
with me?
1t is always wise to have
one or two warm outfits on
a winter holiday. I would
suggest you take a topcoat
and perhaps a thin wool
dress or suit in wool Jersey
or similar lightweight wool.
Take casual clothes for
sportswear-bathing suit and
a little jacket for the beach.
Include something dark II
you will be visiting in any Of
the larger cities.

On is it? Second thought -- and Of the
most sober variety reminds as Of occa-

clear water and nudged the bait temptingly
before his nose. said big one has shifted it
and distainfully passed on.
So maybe the fish need have no fear of
the electronic detectors, anyway They can
still exercise choice as to whose bait they'll
grab - and chances are it will be danged,
