"MILADY WILL BE A ‘LADY’ AGAIN,” STYLE EXPERT SAYS Bobbed Hair Taboo—Winter Wardrobe Will Include Lines, Loops, Laces, Per- fum:. powder and pearls. . BY ADELAIDE KERR. By the Associated Pi . NEW YORK, August 16.—Feminine frills are going to reek of romance this Fall and Winter. Bobbed hair is out, soft voices are back and- a curve is once more in its place; lines and loops and laces, per- fumes and powder and pearis—these are the stuff of which Winter wardrobes will be fashioned, designed subtly around furs and velvets. To be in style may cost more money than in years gone by. But instead of being sad news to les Americaines and the men who pay the bills, .it's going to gladden their hearts, New York fash- ion: experts back from- Paris say, for it will make milady & “lady” again. If one feminine dress costs a bit more, she can have one less—but femi- nine it must be. “Romance in clothes has come to stay for a while,” one of the buyers said to- day. “When we saw the first collections we thought them a bit too expensive. We marched out—but we marched right back again, and that's- just what the woman who wears them will do.” ‘Fhe ‘role’ that romance plays this year has been ‘inspired by woman's weariness with “the jazz vogue, says Miss Ferle Heller, Néw' York ' fashionist, who re- turned yesterday from Paris. “Women have gone back to being women again,” she said. “Look at their hair! hair just long enough to curl up at the nape of the neck or to make a very | flat coll at the nape of the neck. “And the hats are designed for such hair. They are pert little tricorns, worn to one side of the head to reveal mueh hair on the other, and draped with & veil that just misses the nose. Or :m'rc berets or bicorns, tilted from thle “The clothes look as though they might have been inspired by the paint- ings of Garvani. - They refiect elegance and charm—they’re made of rich ma- Smart Parisian_women don't | wear bobs any more. ‘They wear their| terials and they're luxuriously furred.” ‘The smart woman's Winter coat will likely be black or tete-de-negre (dark brown), the buyers say. It's going to snug her waist and flare gently at the bottom. Its fur collar will b large and its fur cuffs will often reach her elbows. Her evening gown will be more decol- lette than it has been in years. Pink lace, green chiffon and ivory satin are the materials of which it will be made, | and its lines will fit closely about her | hips and flare at her knees. Even her gloves reflect romance. Dark ones for daytime wear, reaching above her elbows, may be banded in wide stripes of fur, while her evening gloves, matching her dress in color, may be topped by a rhinestone pattern. And the length of her skirt? Longer than ever, say the buyers. It will be 6 to 8 inches above the street by day and clearing the floor by 2 inches by night. o ASK BREAD PRICE PROBE City Councils in Ontario Appeal to Minister of Labor.
