Freedom in spirit and design seem to be the theme for 1046. During the war we wore anything or everything, didn’t we, with fads like the Eisen hower battle jacket and the Church ill pea jacket being copied from sports clothes to evening wear. But with the peace, fashion is ringing in new things. From New York City, now the style center of the world, with Paris dropping back into second place, comes word that the stylish woman of 1946 must look disarmingly feminine. She will appear softly rounded in day time dressmaker suits, curvaceous in afternoon dresses, elegant to the extreme in evening wear, and luxurious in lounging clothes. De signers promise that female ap parel will reflect both lightness and buoyancy. The general sil houette has been called the “WINE BOTTLE SILHOUETTE.” Capelet sleeves is a characteristic treat ment of costumes and it looks as if skirts will come down in length too. Any color is smart, just so it is muted. Even the reds and greens are calm. As for fabrics, cottons are going strong. June in January is what topsy turvy fashion offers us. So, in the midst of cold and rain, when fur coats and woolens feel their best, the shop windows in the larger cities are filled with alluring cottons. And silly as it seems, the smart, provi dent woman has found that NOW is the time to get the best cottons. Sheer wools, silky textured wool gabardines, pure and raw silks. prints and linens, crepes and nylons, all have been used for the spring collection. Hiplines make headlines in the changing style scene.. OMAR KIAM says; “Clothes will be designed this year to sit and look pretty in.” JO COPELAND tells us; “Accent will now be on charm. Every kind of costume will be smart, as long as it does not look utilitarian.” LILLY DACHE brings forth the “high riding” feeling in her spring hats. This designer’s hats sit high on the head, molded over swept-up curls, and are proportioned to the width of the face. Miss Dache says; “Heads will look romantic and in the clouds, in high, pretty, colored hats, which will jutt decidedly for ward.” Practically the entire town has joined with Mr. and Mrs. Albert F. Perry in thankful rejoicing over the remarkable recovery of their young son, Arthur, who was badly injured by an automobile on New Year’s Eve, when returning to the city from Wrightsville Beach on his bicycle, with a companion, Oliver Hutaff, Jr. Bright, hand some, manly “Artie” who has been a model patient at James Walker Memorial hospital for almost four weeks, is beloved by young and old alike, who wish for him a speedy and painless convalescence. On Thursday, January 17, more than 250 members of St. James’ Episcopal church attended a parish supper at the parish house, inaugu rating their Reconstruction and Advance campaign. Robert Strange, junior warden of the church, pre sided, and Bishop Thomas C. Darst spoke on the opportunity present ed by the Reconstruction and Ad vance program. Mrs. Walker Tay lor, Jr., president of the parish council, acted as hostess, and six branches or guilds of the church were in charge of reservations, decorations, table arrangements, planning and preparing the dinner, serving and hospitality. The First Presbyterian church has, for more than a year now, had a church supper every Thursday night with USIiallv a irpr^T 1 orrfn oHnnJ-mn/i Mrs. L. B. Tillery is the populai secretary, of many year’s stand ing, in charge of reservations, while Mrs. Gilbert C. Dean is the capable cateress responsible for providing the excellent food for the weekly suppers. Mrs. P. R. Smith is the business manager. This practice of gathering informally at these two churches would seem to revert to olden days when ALL the churches were the center of religious, social, and civic activi ties. Surely this sort of thing is equally, if not more important, to day, in these troubled, tempestuous times. Mrs. Tom Stewart of Montreal, Canada, is visiting her sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Theo dore G. Empie at. their home 209 South Fifth street. A friend who is at Oberamer gau sent home this week a beauti ful little booklet with pictures from it’s famed Passion Play. In the book we read that at the request of the American Military govern ment of Germany the Passion Play will be given this summer for the first time since 1934. Mrs. Frederick Willetts is ex pected home this morning frorr Baltimore where she spent the pas ten days after undergoing a sligh operation. Friends will be delight ed to learn that she is recuperatinj very satisfactorily. If you want to see everybody you know in this city go marketinj in one of the big food stores, or gc to the sound for an oyster roast and you will run into the Smiths, the Jone’s the Browns, and the Greens. You stop to speak to s< many acquaintances at market tha your shopping suffers accordingly and you spend an hour doing wha would normally take ten mintues Oh well, it’s fun, and all in 4 lifetime, so what? The mad whirl of holiday en tertaining has gradually subsided into a peaceful round of <pne bridge bridge games (one table) at private homes in the afternoons, and small groups of friends go for oyster roasts in the evenings— just the most informal gatherings possible, which, after all, are by far the nicest kind. Our two leading department stores had nylons on sale this week —of course, not on the same day —and for once in my life, I was lucky. The line of patient, pros pective buyers was orderly and good natured, presenting a very different picture from the one we read about in big cities where the would be purchasers become viol ent after endless hours of waiting in block long lines and sometimes the victim is carried out on a stretcher and placed in an ambu lance. Calm, well mannered people, WILMINGTONLANS, con tent to quietly await their turn al ways. Mrs. William H. Pemberton had the misfortune to fall and break a bone in her shoulder last Mon day night and as a result is a patient at James Walker hospital, where the latest report is that her condition is painful though not serious. I know you will be happy to hear that Mrs. Robert Jewett is con valescing nicely following a recent operation at our hospital and that Mrs. Bonner H. Thomason expect to go home today, her condition be ing greatly improved, after an op eration at James Walker hospital two weeks ago. Word comes from Baltimore that Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius VanLeuven, both patients at John’s Hopkins hospital, are making splendid pro gress toward recovery and expect to leave the hospital in the near future. Mrs. Raymond H. Holland re turned on Wednesday from New York where she spent the past week with her lovely young daugh ter, Carolyn, who is a student this i;ilBI!!!fl!lilBllilBII[IB!!l!Bil!IB!l!IBIIilBI!!IB!!l!Bll!ll Rebekah Degree Entertains At Supper Party The Rebekah Degree IOOF, en tertained at a supper given In hon or of the winning group in an at tendance and enlistment contest on Thursday evening, at 6:30 o’clock in the IOOF building.

At each place was a small American flag and a flag in the colors of the Degree. Refreshments also carried out the color scheme.
