Direct Appeal To English Women To Dress Up for the Coronation By MURIEL NARRAWAY Canadian Press Staff Writer LONDON (CP)--Will British wo- men avail themselves of the many attractive fashions designed for Coronation year? This question has been raised more than once as London's fashion press prepare for the first big couture shows of a royal year. Newspaper articles warn women they will be letting their country down if they fail to pep up their individual wardrobes for Corona- tion festivities in June. Britain's clothing trade is 6ut to show overseas visitors just how good British designs can be--and they emphasize that the best ad- vertisement is the impression given by women in shops and offices, underground trains, or in the rush and bustle of the shopping throngs. Tourist bookings have already reached six figures and an average of 40 new applications for Corona- tion accommodation daily reaches the Mayfair office dealing with such queries. Fashion experts say that Corona- tion year is no time for comfortable shabbiness. There is wide scope for smart silhouettes at reasonable prices. . Such well-known designers as the Queen's dressmaker, Norman Hart- nell, France's Christian Dior and Pierre Balmain, now are producing couture designs for reproduction at prices acceptable to the average buyer. Long before June it will be |N.J., is visiting Sydney as the possible for typists and shopgirls |8uest of the New South Wales So- to buy clothes designed and label- | ciety for Crippled Children. led by these designers, whose customers include Princess Mar- places stick to the tried and trusted styles. "1 want a coat just like my last one." This, says fashion writer | Peggy Briggs, is the sort of state- | ment that gives encouragement to drab colors and out-moded styles. "Seen from the streets, fashion in Birmingham might have been at a standstill since the war," she writes in one article. Swinging coats, slim skirts, wide-sleeved blouses and dresses with swirling skirts may be acceptable to the lowest-paid junior in a London office, but the provinces stick grimly to the old belief that "'cloth- ing is meant to cover." Coronation fashion shows given ahead of the big couture parades show that colors are warm and exhilirating, styles easy and grace- ful and materials, the best that British mills can offer. . The fashion world hopes the Coronation will jerk provincial women out of their fashion com- placency. New Hope Brought To Australian Girl SYDNEY, Australia (CP)--Dr. Henry Kessler, noted American or- thopaedic surgeon, has brought new hope to an Australian girl born 12 years ago without arms.
