pliis was a half-century ago,
way, in the Spring of 1950,
years later, ours is a fash
Id of marycls. Designs are
y rendered to meet - with
f well a feminine flattery,
ery busy day. . You wear
Jl fabrics that require nary
of the iron to retain their
lovely smooth aspects. Your choice
of folors is as gay and varied as
me Diooms onnut you. Ana lanric
texture selections vary with your
very moods.
This Spring, the functionalism
of fashions is more prevalent than
ever. There arc dresses that can be
worn with oi without their jackets
of a slightly heavier fabric. Coats
are hort anJ-fd the point. -They're
ready to be tossed over suits for
lightning-speed plane trips or worn
with casual elegance over Summer
gowns. Suits are slim as a reed, in
many instances of a rayon fabric
every season of the year.
Slimmer.Shorter
And with our fashions, designed
for quick stepping moments here,
there, and elsewhere, comes the
shorter silhouette, 14-inches high
is the popular prediction for this
Spring's skirt lengths.
Over-all lines are slimmer, sleek
er but femininely softened by
bloused jacket backs or bodices.
Dropped shoulders, easy-moving
sleeves or pone at all are promin
ent. The sleeve fashions that often
stop at bracelet or Just below-the-elbow
length tome In designs that
are opulently flounced, extrava
gantly cuffed or wide as a kimono's.
Spicy accents are loaned to
fashions for Spring '30 by buttons
in all shapes, sizes and fabrics.
There are also profusions of pock
ets, placed high and low, front and
back, and shaped to add pleasant
contrast to the lines of your ap
parel. Crisp touches of ice- white
linen or pique and sleek streaks
of patent leather also add to tthe
over-all look of 1950 modernityv "
Nylon, the magic fabric of the
century raptures fashion complete
ly this momentous mid-century
Spring. Easy to find and lovely to
wear is nylon as nylon, nylon as
rustling taffeta, sbft crepe, worsted
and many of your other favorite
fabrics. Nylon too, will appear In
opaque as well as trauslucent In-
terpertations, in sold is and gay
printsBlouses, dresses, even wed
ding gowns will be created of this
wonder fabric.
And because this is an exciting
year and an exciting season, colors
follow suit. They're clear, true,
honest as the season, abundant with
checks of all sizes and small prints
many of which are reminiscent of
the Orient. Although navy blue is
still the Number One color for
Spring, the entire range of of gol
den, sun-kissed colors from demure
apricot to gently tan also holds
fashion atention. Cherry red comes
in for a mid-century bow as do the
blues of all hues, Royal blue in
particular. -
Yes fashions of Spring 19!d are
not just an overpowering potpourri
of available fabrics, Spring '50
fashions arc a vital ever-changing
part of our atom-paced, cver-chang

This Spring, bras will be more

pretty effects beneath, they will
