Fashion Tips For Milady "How can I appear taller and slimmer?" That's a ques­ tion asked by countless girls and women. One answer is to create an illusion with lines in garments knd accessories that will keep an onlooker's eye moving up- wark, says Susan Ross, Mc- Henry county assistant Exten­ sion adviser. Another technique is to use accessories to attract the eye to your best features and ther­ efore detract from the less at­ tractive features. Or, you can use accessories to camouflage the features you consider less attractive. Selection and how the acces­ sory is worn will determine how effectively the slimmer illusion is accomplished. Fashion us­ ually suggests the particular accessories that are "in" and how to wear them. But if s up to you to adapt your selections to your figure. Chains, beads and other types of necklaces generally rate a place among accessories. Long necklaces of fine or medium - sized chain or beads will carry the eye upward. A combination of short and long lengths will tend to hold the eye focus a- round the face. This style is particularly good for the wo­ man who has wide hips. The defined waistline is back in style with a renewed empha­ sis on belts. However, many wo­ men believe that belts make the figure appear shorter and wider. Miss Ross says that's not so. If you select the right belt and wear it correctly, you won't have a problem. For a slim look, select a narrow or medium-width belt that match­ es the garment color. Leave wide, tight belts in contrasting color to women who are tall and slim. Shoes and hose are impor­ tant for the "total look" in today's fashions and can help to make the figure look slim- iner. Avoid bright, contrasting hose. Select a shade similar to the garment and coordinated with the shoes. It is not neces­ sary to have everything the same tone. Keep the colors si­ milar, but vary the shades. Miss Ross emphasizes one important guide for creating a slim look: Keep everything in perspective. When selecting a garment or accessory, take a look at yourself in the mirror. Since no two figures are alike, if s important to adaptthe rules of fashion to your special needs. You probably already know that suede is genuine leather. But have you ever wondered how it acquired the rich, velvety texture that distinguishes it from other leathers? Actually, suede is leather turned inside out and buffed to its soft, velvety nap, explains Susan Ross, McHenry county assistant Extension adviser. Suede-from the French meaning Swede-was named originally for the strong supple gauntlets of reverse leather brought to France from Sweden during the middle ages. Pleasing to the eye and silken to the hand, suede is a sturdy fabric that thrives on use. As you wear your suede garments, you'll discover that they take on a richer patina, and mold to fit your body with a free and easy swing. Miss Ross offers some hints on the home care of your suede clothing: „ -Suede seldom needs dry cleaning. Brush it regularly to keep dust from settling in the nap. -You can easily remove most spots and light stains. If brushing doesn't do it, then try a soft gum eraser, emery board or chalk cleaner. You can purchase chalk cleaners--in stick-form or aerosol cans-in household or notions depart­ ments. -Have heavily soiled suedes dry cleaned professionally. If your suede garment has a label or tag suggesting special household or dry cleaning procedures, follow the in­ structions. -Suede is waterproof. If your suede garment gets wet or rain- spotted, dry it away from heat. After it's dry, brush it with a terry towel to restore its original appearance. Brush the nap in one direction. -Most wrinkles in suede will hang out overnight. If wrinkles persist, press with an iron at the "rayon" setting. Use heavy wrapping paper as a press cloth and press on the right side of the garment. Press with a light, quick hand. -When storing suede for an extended period of time, hang garments in a well ventilated closet. Cover them with a cloth to keep out the dust, but don't use plastic bags. Air is good for suede. Like all leather, it "breathes." Help your disabled by helping Goodwill Industries. Call your local representative. POETS CORNER RESTORATION There is a quiet little circle. A fairy ring-carpeted with purple. Shaded all around with lacy foliage. Soft sounds rustling. A place for communication. So restful to be there. It could be almost anytime. Not today-or yesterday, just anytime. So still and lonely is it here. You feel the mysteries moving subtly in the shadows. And yet-the sun beamed down into this fairy ring to bring warmth and renewal. The Spirit soars. Rushes and reaches-upward and outward. And even though no questions are answered, no miracles per­ formed. I feel fulfilled. It's good to come here once in a while, Just to be still, to be one's self alone. To be restored.
