The display is being held in con- junction with an exhibition of Raoul Dufy paintings. Curators said they believed the fashion dis- play is the largest collection of Poiret creations ever assembled. It was presented with the Dufy ex- hibition because both men worked as textile designers and influenced one another. U. S. savings have grown from less than 69 billion dollars in 1940 to an estimated 250 billion today. Star In New Fall Collections By DOROTHY ROE NEW YORK #—The American woman’s first love, the suit, gains new glamor as presented by that old master tailor Ben Zuckerman in a trend-setting collection for fall. The longer (wrist-length) semi- fitted suit, in high-color tweed, with matching satin lining, weskit, revers or Ascot, is the star of the collection. It is shown in vivid cer- amic blue, ruby red, jade green and purple, as well as in the less sensational vicuna and steel gray tones. The flat round collar is a "| signature this season. The semifitted, carefully shaped silhouette emerges at its best in this collection in both coats and suits. There is an ease and smooth- ness to the line that denotes pee- fect fit and room to breathe. Next to the long-jacket suit in importance is the suit with tapered loose jacket that gently hugs the hips. Many of the dressier suits are collared in white -mink or dark sable, while a number of fur scarfs are shown with coats, Dressmaker touches such as jeweled buttons and pins add a feminine touch to many of the suits. The “Blouson” suit is starred by Harry Frechtel, who shows it in many fabrics and versions, along with the wide-collared corseted midriff suit and the costume con- sisting of seven-eighths coat and coordinated dress. Open, stand-away collars, flat and wide, give a new look to many of the suits. Some are horseshoe- shaped, others square or portrait in linen es + e Herb Sondheim places his hets on “palomino” beige and “burnt sugar” brown as favorite colors for everything from suits to eve- ning gowns. He also spotlights a new rustic slub weave of a blend of Dacron, worsted and silk in a group of outfits perfect for travel or office wear. An outstanding collection 0 to- DOLL HOUSE ON DISPLAY—at Poinciana School during “open house” yesterday afternoon.

Free ’n Easy Line Is The Latest In Fashions For Fall | By DOROTHY ROE NEW YORK ® — With aching feet and bulging notebooks, mem- bers of the international fashion press today wound up a hectic | week of style showings which) promises that American women can breathe easy next fall. | From the welter of collections | by New York’s top designers, vis- iting editors formed a picture of | the shape of things to come, the | gist of which is that women can | loosen their belts a notch next fall, take off their waist cinchers and | enjoy life. : | “Free-and-easy” silhouette is the big news of the fall collections, unde “written by such trend setters as Vincent Monte-Sano, Hattie Car- negie, Christian Dior, Adele Simp- son, Pauline Trigere, Nettie Ros- enstein, Claire McCardell, Vera Maxwell, Ben Zuckerman and others, The bloused silhouette is the newest thing on the fashion hori- zon; it is seen in suits, dresses and | coats in practically every collec- tion. This is the casual, easy line of the beloved shirtwaist dress, which conceals waistline bulges, gives room for action and allows the wearer to breathe without fear of splitting a seam. Fashion editors are taking home | an exciting story of new and col- orful tweeds in every weight and | tone, shown in everything from | Suits and coats to cocktail gowns, | combined dramatically with satins for dress-up wear. Tweed suits have satin linings and weskits, are | worn with matching satin hats, Tweed coats sometimes have de- tachable satin lapels or scarfs, And satin touches are found on | wool daytime dresses of every | variety. | The costume story takes top headlines for fall. American wom- | en have taken to their hearts the | Versatile outfit of dress-up dress and cover-up jacket or coat, which looks like a suit during business | hours, “peels” to become a cock- | tail or dinner dress after 5, This | outfit is done in every conceivable | fabric and color for fall, some. | times with fur-trimmed or revers. | ible fur-lined jacket, sometimes with full-length coat, sometimes with skirt, jacket and matching dressy blouse. In any case the head-to-toe costume look is all im- portant, accessories are carefully keyed to the total effect and a woman can dress in the morning for a busy day which might in- | clude shopping, office work, cock- | tails, dinner and the theater, | Big collars are a third identifi- | cation mark of fall fashions. They | are seen in many versions, from | buttoned-on cape collars to outsize | sailor collars on suits, coats and | dresses. Some stand up and away from the neck, some are wide and open, some are cut in one with the sleeve. Skirt lengths in some cases are slightly shorter than at Present, in most cases unchanged. Skirts | are slim for daytime, with new ease achieved through Straight- hanging unpressed Pleats in soft | fabrics, sleek pleats and low- placed, inconspicuous fullness. _ Hats follow the new casual feel- ing of fashion, with slouch-brim felts and flapper cloches much in evidence, usually worn flat, straight and forward on the head. It’s a season to bring joy to the! hearts of the hard-to-fit, relief to tortured waistlines and new ease to the feminine population. Experts estimate that Americans have twice the spending power they had in 1940, CARD OF THANKS For thoughtfulness shown in every way and for sympathy ex- pressed by our friends and neigh- bors in the hours of bereavement occasioned by the death of our be- loved mother, the late Mrs. Gazelle Saunders, we desire to express our appreciation.
