the winter predictions are

papers about this time Of

fluffy fur toque or a cloche or
don a new longer suit jacket
or one of the intric..te cape
like coats? And inevitably
there will be someone who
should have bought the
eloche but liked the idea Of
the fluffy fur toque.
The same thing happens In
the home fashion field. A
woman will see an advertise
ment of some tricky lamp or
the latest thing in curtains,
and whether it has the slight
est connection with the rest
of her home attire" she will
buy it Just because it is "the
latest thing"
Often the latest thing is
the LAST thing she should
have bought. Just because
everybody says, "Oh, laven-
der is the color this year"
doesn't mean that lavender
is for YOUR home. 1t may
