Othorwiso, Boar Out
Early Forocast
A general look ground at the
uress shops in Gladewater uncov-
ered some very fetching fashions.
After the look a companion was
made with the forecast for spring
Inshions made quite a few weeks
back—or further than that—by
the Women’s Wear Daily and most
of the predictions are exactly
nght.
Perhaps the most sensible and
must effective style trend is that
of flexibility. The styles are so
..daptable to individual wear, es-
peeially dress lengths, that ward
robe refurbishing is made very
easy.
This is what the Women’s Wear
Daily has to say:
The general effect of clothes (or
this year is more simple, less fus
sy. After exhaustive reviews of
manufacturers’ spring lines, the
fashion editors of Women's Wear
Daily find that there are many
good-looking suits for spring wear,
tailored, but not too rigid looking,
the quality of more suppleness is
salient in all 1950 spring fashions.
The short, fitted jacket appears
to be headed for top popularity in
suits. There is crispness, too, in
bolder checks, in snbrt hounds-
tooth toppers, and suits in neat
geometric patterns. Better-price
suits ure oiten boxy, but keep the
careful balance of jacket-blue
above a stem-slim skirt. Long
re vers with low-buttoned closing
arc a 11*50 identification, usually
with a deeply cut blouse neckline.
The cinched-in belted line is an-
other point to wnlch for Easter
-■iiit- Mon it imattc. these suits
I have hip-bone or longer jackets,
'.•cited in; but which can also be
worn straight. Back-bloused lines
appeal on these and some have
modified dolman sleeves. The ma-
jority of shoulders follow through
with set-in sleeves — slightly
iounded. but with a definite crisp
angle.
It's generally acknowledged a
short "topper spring” and the ul-
tra-short ones or the belted-in ver-
sions arc best right now and prob-
ably will continue In full length
styles, the titled coat with bloused
bodice lines, the dress with while
bloused bodice lines, the dress
coat with white pique accents and
the checked reefer arc all goot

pine green
A "color-mulched look" is the
dominant fashion trend in acces-
sories this spring. Pink is being
suggested us an accent for pink,
and yellow for yellow, sometimes
perfectly color-matched, often dif-
ferent shades of the same color
tone. This is especially true of the
whole blonde-to-auburn range
which is getting a great deui of
play in all accessories These arc
linked with natural color linen
and shantung dresses White neck
wear—pique or linen—with euffs
to match, is due for a big revival.
Handbags that arc long with "in
hand’’ charac-.er 'usually with a
small loop with which to grip
them with the fingers' will be seen
with spring gloves. Straw bags,
too. to match straw or wheat col-
ored gloves in fabric or leather.
Many more long gloves are slated
for this spring in double cotton.
‘ Breath of Spring" flowei show
will be presented by die Lufkin
City Council of Garden Clubs on
March II from 3 to 5 p m. The
show will be held in the Shands
Gymnasium, South Raguet Street,
Lufkin.
Five Lufkin clubs are members
of the Council. They aie The Luf-
