LOOKS AT THE DRESS THAT STOPPED THE CROWD IN GROSVENOR STREET

Have you ever seen a 'sack' walking?

The rack fine in, belge se

white mohale, with optional belt From Estrava,

IT'S arrived, it's in London shops the SACK LINE can

now be yours. Always provided that you want it And oddly enough I rather think you will.

They've rushed it through in record time-prototypes from Paris at the end of August-coples in the stores a week later.

Come on now-the feest you can do is consider it.

I've inspected the line in Its limited variety and--to quote one model girl-"Somehow it sort of grow on you."

Sze it static-straight, flat and utterly uninteresting. But see

a Back walking-now that's a very different matter.

TOEING A LINE

I now a straight belgs mohair sack containing a very for from straight model girl undulating up Grosvenor Street. One foot directly in front of the other as if toeing a line-shoulders very slightly forward, willing and willowy-thal's the way she went.

It stopped the traffic-pedestrian trade that is. "Oghs and

ths all over the place," the told me later,

Would she, 1 nsker, think of wearing it out of working hours? She already had one-and another on order.

What hus it goi that no other recent line has had? It's so different, they tell me.

Which, after all, is what matters most in fashion.

HOW TO WEAR YOUR SACK

・WITH

WITH o cloud of soft, curly hair, wirings una strings of beads

and a low neckline-that's the only way I see it.

A girl with the eyes and figure of Audrey Hepburn could wear it with a high, tight collar, long sleeves and a short, sleek haircut.

But, let's face it; there aren't many with Audrey's looks and shape about, are there?

GOING FAST!

The Soft, Svelte Look

COMING FAST!

The Furry. Feathery Look THERE'S

HERE'S a furry, feathery, hairy era in front of us. The fint, smooth, soft svelte look is going.... going ....gone.

Jerseys have taken a turn for the fluffy. Shetland is newer than cashmere. Angora is smarter than chunky knit. The most attractive coats in Paris this year weTO in a wonderful fluffy long mohair at Lanvin Castillo.

They looked as warm as an oven-and were. They looked ns heavy as a sealskin coat-and were not.

Even furs are wearing long hair. Newest cheap fur In Amoriea is made of racoon, in real American college- boy style. Newest linings for trappers' coats are lynx or opossum.

As for hats the return of the white ostrich feather at Dior: the snug baluclava helmet of ocelot; the plume that swayed from Gina Lollobrigida's hat at Milko's christening are all pointers to the furry, furry look.
