-: Autumn Styles Go For Glamor With Big "ll"

NEW YORK Oct. (AP) - vew York custom designers show- ngs cf the last few weeks have stressed heavily the theme of 'emiuine allure, with maximum es- iosure and kleig light glitter.

Lille Dache, exponent of giamor with it capital announces the .nsplration of her collection as the age of chivalry, when strong men went marching off to war. subsist- ing on memories of the languish- ing -.vomen they left behi.nd-wo- men attired. mind you. not in mi.- oreti suits and sensible slices, but in filmy floating draperies reveal- ing more than they concealed.

Such is the theme of the upper- crust designers. and such, conse- quciiilv, wlil be the theme of the mass-praductioii boys and girls as

Mme. Dache. who now dors head-to-toe costumes in addition

Her most dramatic hat is a strictly vampirish model with.n "portculIis” xczl, designed to sho- dcw the eyes in wicked mystery.

Miss Dorothy also likes one- -leevecl stolcs of such luxury furs as mink or ermine. worn over one shoulzier. exposing the other, which preferably is bare. The designer ad- vises women to wear their furs "any way except the way they are made.'

HOSPITAL STAY FOR OVER.- WEIGHT

O

I write frequently about over- weight because of its many dang- ers and disadvantages. Many over- welghts do not worry about the danger in weakening the blood vessels (heart and brain strokes). but they do worry about the dis- advantages 4 the fact that it spoils their appearance and inter- feres with their everyday actions.

Every case of overweight can be helped if the individual is willing to cut down on his daily intake of food. This sounds like an easy method of reducing weight. but overweights state that they feel very weak when they do not eat all they want at mealtime.

Where there is no underactivity of any of the glands of the body and the overweight cannot re- fiain from eating a full meal. scme physicians prescribe a drug to reduce the patient's desire for most popular drug for rediiclng the appetite and thus the weight is amplieta-nine or its deratives or close relations benzedrine sulfate and dexedrine sulfate. These drugs not only cut down the desire for food but have a bracing or lifting effect so that there is not the usual weak feel- ing. Ben7.cdi'ine sulfate is used with excellent results in the treat- ment of alcoholism tif the patient wants to be curedi. because it takes away the desire for alcohol and gives a inental and physical lift when it Is mos: needed.

Overweight is now cciisidered such an important ailment or dis- ease that the Mayo Foundation and Mayo Clinic have patients re- ferred to them for treatment. Even moderate overweight in the latter half of life increases the chances of developiiiq such de,c.veneralivc diseases as diabetes. cancer and heart disease. Because in hospital doctors and nurses have a better chance of watching an:l ial'-zlnsz to these overweights, they rarely find it necessary to use amphetamine or its deratives in reducing weight.

A patient willing to enter hos- pital just for reduction of weight Is takinz the matter seriously and will follow dirwtion-3 faithfully Also, he or she will not likely de-

in Charlottetown. Fashion Trend

Unmistakably 1950 are the fash-I ions iibat The Gloria displayed! in both shows. in dresses it's the; slim. s-traight, somewhat shorterl silhouette that is the most im-i poriant trend, and there arel enough variations on this theme' to make it a wearable one for" most figure types in Charlottetown.

Speaking of l'I1aI. trend to short-. or skirts. here is a comforting! note: While skirts are definitelyl shorter, the highly-stylized length is from l4 to 15 inches from the ground. fashion authorities agree; that the well-dressed woman will! still be quite tip-to-the-niinuie wcaring the length of skirt she feels to be the most becoming to her height and figure. ,

Deparlures from Uhe sveliel sheath that outlines the form withl richness of fabric include lLiiiics,l made with ap:on overskiris or' fi'ce-swinging panels that inodiiy the too severe line.

Plcals from shoulder to hem- line, 0: godeis that brcak at the knee to soften the pencil slim- ness provide a corrrpromisc on the basic theme.

The black dress, which most fashion authorities acknowledge to be the key garment in the well-l dressed woman's wardi-oibe' is modeled in fine rayon crepe. chosen because it handles casily' and provides an excellent foil for jewels or the "touch of velvet” that sparks this season.

That "velvet" is rayon this year. Soft and lush. it's fashions favor- ite. You will see it in exciting shades in the pcrkicst of hats to complement that basic black drrss. Rayon velvet is so reasonably priced that the wise woman of fashion is likely to have at least two vclvet hats to match or con- trast with the costume of the day.

svelte Sults

The most satisfying experience of the new fashion season has been looking at the suit styles the manufacturers have for you.

They are beautiful.

Every line has been planned to give a woman's figure the high- est degree of s-velte flattery.

Skirts are universally slim, but the fabric is cut to give adequate walking room. Jackets are shorter generally. Meaning that the long riding-coat style of jacket is not so new as it was last. year. Suit collars have more interest with horseshoe necklines and buttoned revere: among the new styles. Single and double-breasted .styles are both shown with the latter looking newer. Pockets, too. are an important part of the new suits. having trimming and an unusual cut to many of them.

Costume Accent

All Miss Croni'n's fashions are complemented by the finest of jewelled pins and clips from Wellrier's and Taylor's stores. And you don't have to be either a crown princess or "the worlds richest rhaharnanee" to ivear these matched simulated pearl and

Opening the show the president of Alpha Chapter, Mrs. I... J. Mc- Lellan told how the sorority funds had helped to bring happiness to children at the Prince Edward Island Infirmary on special occasions througlhout the year. and how they had found the need of a wheel chair there and donated one. Proceeds in this show, she said, would be used to help in similar ways to support worthwhile appeals made

town's leading jewellers. One of the outstanding features of the Fall Fashion Show is the latest creations fashioned by Core and shown through the courtesy of G. H. Taylor, featuring necklels in gleaming rhinestone and baguettes for evening wear. For afternoon, the newest in pearl creations are shown. Chokers and necklets in gold and white in the newest styles for fall are set with rubies and emeralds and come in matching sets, neckleis, bracelets and ear- rings. Fur Costs

Popular opinion of ilhe audience seemed to elect the internationally known Northern Ontario Mus- rat as the leader for the 1950 fur scason. Versatile and flattering. with its various shades and ex- pert striping, it challenges its much envied sister. the Mink - if it were not for the fabulous difference in figures on the price tag. it would be difficult to tell them apart.

Persian Lamb. constant in ser- vice and rich appearance, is as popular now in grey as it has al- ways been in black.

Marmot, Kidskin. Raccoon. Per- sian Paw, and Mouton are a few of the many furs available in a wide choice of style and colors for the bank account limited to medium prices.

The island Furriers, with their own factory for repairs and stor- age. stands back of every gar- ment modeled in the show and is ever anxious to please and satisfy the customers who have made it the reliable firm if is today.

Highlight Hats

Never have Adellals hats been more of an adventure than in Fall 1950. The vibrant new colors, the yellows, oranges, tawny cop- pers . . . the bright reds, blues and violets that might have seem- ed flamboyant other seasons will be worn every day. by women everywhere. (Perhaps the vogue of plaids has made any one color seem understated. or penhaps the neat. slim dresses and suits de- mand exciiing hats.)

Hats must go fancy one way or another. and since the silhouettes are still rather simple and the trimming is not very elaborate, the excitement is centered in ”sur- face interest". There are deep pile velours, textured felts, rich mel- usines and merrisines, silky beavers, panne velvels. and plain felts embroidered or studded with jewels. jet, pearls.

There is" I subtle but certain trend toward atten- tion-gettlng hats. Crowns are higher; trimmings are on their way back. as evidenced by the wide use of feathers and the fas- cinating new feather effects.

Important Makeup

As color harmony of make-up and hat is more important this fall. the fashion-minded were warned to watch their lipstick and nail polish by Miss Mabel McCaw. Na- tional rcipreseniative of the Richard- Hudnut Co. Ltd., who came espe- cially from Toronto to prepare the stage make-up for the man- nequins. In her talk "Timely Tips on Fashion and Make-up" she sug- gested ways to highlight your face and get the most flattery from your ensemble.

Accent: in Casual

As in previous seasons. the staple handbag shades are black. navy and the brown color range. Turf and light tans are calf colors for casual wear. A winy. clear-red is slated for fall handfbag wear. Look for steel grey leathers and some grey suedes. Vintage colors, too, will be seen in many handbag collections.

Calf leads the handbag line-up for afternoon and casual wear . . . the dressy suede bag is the all- occasion bag, and the small clutch bag in velvets, satin or faille are bright notes for evening occasions.

With dresses. coats and suits wearing an easy casual air for Fall. the handbag industry has cited its new presentations with the same easy-going look.

Large squares and short neck- a-chiefs are emphasized in the new fall accessory collections. You'll see large squares - measuring lo 40" . . . and the l2" muffler-ty-pe scaives to lead versatile lives.

There were clever ways to twist them about your waist and throat. Shown especially in the smart fashion lesson in accessories changes given by Miss Dorothy Hughes. Scarves are shown in pure .silk crc-pee, satin twills. worsted jersey. woven stripe taffeta. pure silk satihs and other fine fabrics.

The mannequins during the show were: Mrs. J. M. Blake. Miss Velma Carmody, Miss Joanna Macdonald. Mrs. R. F. Norman. Miss Norecn MaePherson. Miss Frances Wilson. Miss Leah MacDonald. Miss Eleanor Mary Duffy, Mrs. S. Lan- caster, Miss Helen MacDonald. Miss Mary E. MacKenzie, Mrs. G. M. Chandler. Miss Dorothy Hughes. While the commentator was Mrs. K. S.

For Friday. October 6

AN exceptionally lively and strenuous day with all affairs moving along at high stress and

tension. All plans and construc- tive cffoi-ts aggressively thought out and instinctively pushed to de- sired goals should be prolific of satisfactory results. Mind and en- eergy should be keyed to high purpose, with shrewd insight as well as sound strategies well form- ulated. Push ahead with vim, coh- fldence as well as sound tactics.

For the Birthday

Those whose birthday it is. have excellent oppcrtuiilties for forging ahead. with energy. sound plans and aggressive tactics, These are sustained by well-organized strat- egies. astute and shrewd. While Zldhfllllllz strictly to sound princip- les. it is probable that the men- tality may be keyed to sane ideals as well as emotions and feelings, with undertones of the novel or original. Exceptional insight may he carried to pleasant and prac- tical crisis, illusions being trans- latetl into reality.
