While days are still warm and lazy, and more than one afternoon has been spent relaxing in the heat, its interesting to think of cooler days, perhaps, and plan the wardrobe. Big news again this year, as last, is fabric. It is indeed the focal point of every costume, and there are many interesting aspects to the fashion picture just from the point of view of fabric alone. Fabulous brocaded silks are high fashion news, and are possibly surpassed only by one other item: dozens of astonishing wool textures. All of the woolens being shown are thick, many are downy, others are shaggy or hairy. This is in direct contrast to the years when the sheerest of woolens made such big news. Examples of the new woolens include baby blanket woolens now being used in the smartest dresses, reversible tweed and wool mixtures, poodle cloth, feather cloth and lions hair. Tweeds which have always been countrified now become citified with the aid of silky cashmere weaves and sophisticated handling. Flannel has taken on a satin finish, woolens have been frosted or crisped with silk. Silk faille, always before so heavy and crisp, has gone soft with new treatment and has a very sumptuous quality with the new technique. Cottons are being featured for Winter and are making fashion news, too. k Bold Spanish contrasts in color are used a great deal, and this ac- New Fall and Winter clothes will show considerable Spanish influence, as evidenced by this elaborate neckline treatment. Rich braiding combines with ' velvet to give a sumptuous to the gown, but shoulders bared less than in previous sons, another new fashion counts for the use of black, white and red. Also Spanish in influence are the toreador capes, sashes and square fringed shawls. The other strong period influence apparent in the new fashions is English, dating from 1815. In England this was known as the Regency period, while in France it was called the Restoration. Sleeves are Regency, and they are puffed and folded on both dresses and coats. Gored and boned bodices now being featured are also from the period just mentioned. Theyre worn over full skirts built out smooth over canvas linings and petticoats. Fitted Regency coats with big sleeves, to be featured take their inspiration from history. The princess line, as it is called, is destined to be popular. It is fitted but beltless, reflecting the Regency epoch. Inside Interest Reflected in Fashions look are Look inside when you buy a dress or coat, for theres bound to be a surprise in it for you.

Skirts will be more full than we have seen them before. Whirling is the adjective that can best be used to describe them. Surprise materials such as tweed, wool jersey and broadcloth are being used in skirts especially to make them look more full than even designing can do. Then, too, petticoats will be important as they, too, are designed to give them fullness that designing and material do not already accomplish. Winter crinolines will be important in the fashion picture. Suit outlines which in general remain slender, will have counterpoint for interest and temperate shoulders with rounded hips and a flat as a pasteboard box look both in back and in front. For coats, suits and dresses as well, sleeves will be full. Styles currently being shown include full types like the puffed up, folded or leg of mutton types. Theres a new forward slant being featured in the armhole, too, and this is combined with a slight fullness at the top of the sleeves which gives a faint, but pretty shrug to the top of the dress or suit when it one-piec- Fashion Flashes Give your navy blue shantung new life with red accessories.
