Latest Fashions In Clothing Suggestions For Students
! Jackets and Hemlins Go to New Lengths
FALL FORECAST ? Here are highlights of new fall fashions whieh will arrive in stores in September.

Jackets, hemlines and costumes
are the big three in the fashion
news spotlight for fall.
Jackets may be any length, from
brief curved boleros snugged in
just beneath the bustline to tunic
lengths a few inches above the
hemline. In her fall collection,
Adele Simpson shows six separate
jacket silhouettes in suits and
costumes: the bolero, the fitted
hipbone length jacket, the short
boxy jacket, the little overcoat at
fingertip length, the tunic, reach
ing to mid-thigh, and the % length
slim tubular coat. All are worn
over slim skirts or sheath dresses.
Although the standard daytime
skirt length for fall is very slight
ly shorter than current styles,
averaging about 15 inches from
the Boor, variations make news tn
the fall fashion lineup. Pauline
Trigere shows a new intermission
length for dinner and theater-wear,
about three inches above the
ankle, in slim sheath costumes.
Cell Chapman's new Castle Walk
gown is reminiscent of the hobble
skirt era. ankle length in back,
slit to the knee in front, draped
about the hips, tight at the ankle
line.
Also the number of full-length
evening gowns presages more form
ality and elegance next winter.
The newest looking of these are
slim, sometimes with hip drapery,
often with tremendous sashes
forming a wide drape or a floating
back panel.
The costume look is, of course,
predominant in every major col
lection, with fehedth dresses and
matching or coordinated coats or
jackets. Often the coats are in the
same color but a heavier fabric.
Three piece outfits coordinate
jacket, skirt and overblouse, the
latter two teaming to be worn as
a dress.
The long torso line is much with
us, but it has been skillfully
adapted to the American figure,
and even though the belt may be
around the hip*, the waistline is
definitely in the picture, slim and
ntW," thf fibrie of tWdress faith
fully following the lines of the
figure.
Next fall will see more lavish
fabrics, more eleeance, more
dressing up and less dressing
?? vtatw ?
down than has been evident in
many seasons. The fur-trimmed
suit and coat are back with a bang.
Even cocktail dresses often have
mink collars or Jwrders at the
hemline. The fur-lined- jacket is
much in evidence in dressy suits
as well as the more casual sports
wear. Big fur collars are seen on
newly elegant cloth coats ? some
are big enough to form a parka,
and are shown in such luxury furs
as mutation mink and sable.
There's a lot of satin in all col
lections, both in complete evening
costumes and used as trimming on
wool or silk crepe dresses. The
little white satin collar and bow
tie is a favorite of Harvey Berin,
for instance, on slim dark wools
or velvets.
Velvet is widely used in dresses
and costumes for after 5, often
with satin accents. Newest looking
color in the velvet lineup is one
called White Wine, an ivory tone
most flattering to many types.
The new clothes are wearable, '
handsome, varied and made of the
most lavish assortment of fabrics (
available in many yeaA. Every
woman should be able to find some
thing to suit her type this fall.
