Now this fall, it 'seems they surely must have reached their peak of smartness! There are sweaters for wear- ing to sporting events, to the of- fice, to a movie -- even to a ball! There are sweaters to wear in place of a blouse, as a vest, in- stead of a coat -- they come in every length from cropped tops to below the hips -- with sleeves ranging from none to extra-long -- with necklines that are decol- Furniture To Give Room Warmth And Character Today many homes lack archi- bishing your home this fall, fab- tectyral features that help give ric, color and wood choice are a room warmth and character. |limited only by your imagina- Proper selection and arrange-|tion.

Sweaters sport exciting trims of fringe, beads, appliques, fur, pompoms, buttons 'n' bows. They are solid, striped, check- ed, even floral printed.

Each woan selects the clothes that she hopes will flat-| ter her figure in the direction | of the measurements that are her desire. This is one reason why foun- dation designers are now offer- ing girdles and bras which fol-| ; low the lines of major ready-| ; to-wear silhouettes, rather than| striving for a national "ideal] : figure".

Fabrics Rided By Lamination "Laminated"! It's an excit- ing word in fashion circles this season, and no wonder.

With lamination, now design- ers can create such styles as bell shaped skirts in jersey (a fabric which would be too soft and flexible to work in this way otherwise).
