(RTE. 120) • McHENRY, ILLINOIS OPEN EVERYDAY CALL ANYTIME G REALTOR tenty and blouson looks, and two-piece dresses with flyaway tops. Check out these details: square neck­ lines, draped cowl neck­ lines, bi-color schemes, and Moscow peasant effects. Many of the newest suits have longer, softly belted jackets to go with longer skirts. The long cape with its matching skirt is the latest way to be suited for fall. Coming on strong: three-piece suit looks in great fabric and pattern combinations such as vel­ vet and paisley, leather and tweed, prints and plaids. The big new addition to the separates wardrobe is the fuller skirt, worn be­ low the knee and carefully paired with a slim top. It comes wrapped, front-but­ toned, pleated or dirndl, in every fabric. While skirts have grown fuller, pants have slimmed down with straight legs, no cuffs, no flares. Above all else, the Moscow tunic makes news in lightweight sheers or knits. Blousons, sweatshirts, bow-tied blouses are other top con­ tenders. Casual toppers in­ clude lumberjack shirts, long cardigan coats, tenty jackets and tweedy knit sweaters. Other news­ worthy knits: the twin set in jacquards or patterns, the fur-trimmed sweater, the long sweaterdress. Evenings call for a touch of class, in feathers, se­ quins, lace or beading. New deep decolletages, es­ pecially the new low-cowl necklines, are a "look- again" look. But the idea is to look ladylike and fem­ inine, even at her most seductive. The little matte jersey dinner dress makes it big, especially in black. So do evening pajamas, newest in satin jacquard. Colors are also classy this fall: vintage reds, money greens, teal blues, muted oranges. The aris­ tocratic pales -- Newport grey, cream, camel, plati­ num, silver -- ride high. The head-to-toe mono­ chrome look is big, par­ ticularly for those under 5'6". Accessories are more important than ever -- but they've got to be the right ones. Proportion is the magic word, so the "big look" won't become a big mess. What to carry with big- coats and capes? Try a streamlined bag with ver­ satile, removable straps. Or maybe a leather shop­ ping bag or scaled-down doctor "bag. The soft look carries through in frame bags, knit bags and glove leather pouch bags. By all means wear a hat this fall . . . but no sloppy floppies, please! Pick a hat that hugs the head at the crown ... a beret, a knit­ ted cape, a ladylike fedora.

Simple classic necklaces, onyx, skinny snake chains and big cabo- chon stone pins arc gilt- edge investments. Wardrobe change reflected in American ready-to-wear The purpose of the re­ cent Fashion Group, Inc. presentation of "American Ready-to-Wear" was two­ fold: to highlight moder­ ate priced fashion and to reflect the direction of change in fall-winter wardrobes for women. The featured fashions: Capes are the upcoming alternate to coats over skirts, pants and pajamas for day and evening wear. Most were mid-calf length with a few long versions for evening. Double-tiers, poncho-looks and fur trims were especially stressed. Bigger coats -- looser, easier, tented, smock- shaped, flare-backed, ac­ cented with scarves or trimmed with furs; often double-faced, unlined and lighter than they look. Rain wardrobes -- newer ways to be ready for all sorts of weather. Pant and skirt suits, ponchos, capes, lots of cotton poplin re­ versing to tweed or loden cloth. Evening fashions treated to be storm-re­ sistant. Outem>ear sweatering -- fast * becoming a fashion classic, now recognized as such. Below-the-knee coats, wrap jackets and sweatshirt styles were fea­ tured with both skirts and pants. Skirt suits -- the return of the "real suit" with tai­ lored jacket, flip-flare skirt, often a bow-tied blouse. Daytiine dresses--easier, softer, more flowing, even the fairly tailored versions. Styles to watch: the wrap- dress, the coatdress, the two-piece blouson. "Don't-dress" dresses -- fussless fashions for eve­ nings out. Prime example: an emerald green matte jersey smock, to wear alone or spiced with jewelry. Chiffon glitter dresses and capes -- a floating, sparkling look for evening. Clingy, sexy silhouettes. Fox and maribou trim on big, wide circular capes. Shirt jacs and pants -- still essential, still good, especially topped with leather. On its way to newspapers... More Up-To-The-Minute Fall Fashion Coverage Because the Metro publication date for this Fall Lifestyle '74 Special Section coincided with New York's Press Week activities which are devoted to the fall fashion lines, Metro will provide addi­ tional fall fashion coverage to subscribers in a special four-page insert in the October issue of Plus Business, delivered with October shipments of Metro Newspaper Service. By assigning fashion reporters to cover more of the Press Week showings, Metro, via Plus Business, is making sure subscribers are provided with even more fashion material with which to round out their Lifestyle and Fall Fashion sections. Plus Business will inform its readers, advertis­ ing managers and staffers about the special insert, suggesting they deliver the up-to-the-minute fashion articles to editorial departments. The insert will contain such fashion features as: a review of the Bonnie Cashin showing for H. B. A. Furs; the Halston showing for A. C. Bang Furs; brief reports from the Men's Fashion Asso­ ciation; a report on the popular fashion-wise Deering-Milliken breakfast show. There's also an interview with Mildred Custin, grand dame of fashion and the first woman president of a major department store. Of great interest to many editors will be the handy index, a listing of sources used for many of the editorial features and photographs in the Fall Lifestyle '74 supplement. We hope you find this extra insert material helpful and, as always, we welcome your com­ ments regarding our fashion coverage. Since many editors would like to attend New York fashion showings personally but can not take time from busy schedules, we write these reviews and reports for them. RUTH GREENE, Director Special Sections. Cubulars make use of 'leftover' carpets Nearly everybody has a yen to use leftovers -- the cook in a casserole and the do-it-yourself decorator in a myriad of inventive ways with paint, fabric, wallcoverings and carpet. Cubulars are a very practical way to use left­ overs from the installation of a new carpet and cush­ ion Or start from scratch with carpet remnants pur­ chased on sale and an Omalon area rug founda­ tion that dealers stock in several sizes <4x6, 6x9, 9x12) in convenient tote- home packs. What are cubulars? Quite simply, they're ply­ wood cubes cushioned and covered with carpeting to provide seating, dining, storage and work space -- or to serve as the colorful base for a sculpture de­ serving prominent display. These multi-purpose cubes can be used singly or in a variety of combin­ ations to break up space and add bright accents to a room. They satisfy one's urge for instant redec- oration without having to move heavy pieces of fur­ niture. And as a do-it- yourself project, they're inexpensive. Omalon carpet or rug foundation is perfect for cubulars for several rea­ sons. One is the resiliency that makes it as comfort­ able to sit on as walk on. Another is that it's easy to work with. Since the polymeric foam product won't tear or shred when cut with scissors, the do- it-yourselfer can curve Omalon over a cube as easily as a professional can install it up and down the stairs.
