Following a tasty dessert lunch, the lovely models made their way onto the small stage at the front of the V.F.W. clubhouse and' latter onto the grounds to show the large crowd assembled the very latest, to fall and winter fashions. The rooms were attractively /de'c'o'r;ifed for the occasion with very unusual, and lovely floral ar- | rangements; both, at the rear of the ?stage and on the tables. They j we! e the work of Mrs; Norbert , Mauch-. j The models appeared in a wide j variety of casual and dressy j Slothes, featuring the latest trends. Black, grey and brown continued to be popular choices in suits and dresses, but there were also a number of very colorful costumes, with red "being a favorite in date dresses, coats and even accessories. Hats, for the most part, were small, but variety was such that one could scarcely be considered out of style in a number of choices. Collars, the bigger the better, were features of both the dresses and coats and probably more than any other single trend could be called the 1054 costume look. They were especially prominent on the middy-type necklines which were so evident in a num*> ber of dresses. Mrs. LeRoy Welter welcomed the guests, after which Miss Betty Nielsen took over' the micropnone to announce the models and describe what they were wearing. Miss Alice BykowskI furnished music throughout the show. As an intermission treat, Mrs. Nick Lopez of Island Lake danced and sang, winning the enthusiastic applause of an appreciative audience. She not only entertained within the clubhouse, but when the clouds lifted to Jet the sun shine, she also performed for those sitting outside the clubhouse.
