RITAIN is fast becoming n

swollen warchouso clothes that nobody wants -oldlook clothes that were made before women knew their own minds, or manufacturers knew their minds for them.

Reports indicate that women have now succumbed to the New Look.

Favourite style is the "bal- lerina"--the full, long skirt, the tight, trim bodice, in frock or cont or suit.

It trips prettily enough on a slim young figure; alas, it nei- ther trips nor is it pretty on a comfortable, bulky, 40-inch spread.

But who cares? It's new. It's different. It's smart. To wear it is to move with the times (even if that means moving backwards).

The old brigado

O the manufactures and buyers ▷ who risked their all on large stocks of ballerina beauties are pardonably smug.

And the buyers who banked on the conservative, taste of English- women are left looking in deep dejection at rails full of clothes that are scorned by all but the old brigade.

And the old brigade, taking a last stand, still spend their 18 coupons on a "good, plain tweed suit with none of your fancy fal-lals," and wistfully watch their numbers shrinking.
