Auxiliary Territorial Service, says Lon â€" don has discovered that women won‘t work their best unless they look their best. That‘s why Britain, in the thick of a fight for survival, is producing colourful clothes for its women to wear this autumn. Then, there‘s a quickenâ€" ing and a new vitality abroad, as strong as the "V for Victory" sign. Women, who sense such things first, are going to reflect it in their clothes. Pinally there‘s no tax on colour. The drab shades aren‘t any cheaper to produce than the gay, stirring ones. And whether you‘re in uniform or out of it, you‘ll find a bright shade for "walking out." as the army calls it, is a perfect foil for navy, khaki or air force blue." Look out for the new British tyreds of lime green or sky blue with a } lack thread woven in to give an autuianal richness. This year it appears to be a reversal cf the old orderâ€"black with a touch of colour, perhaps. This year it‘s colour, with a touch of black, maybe. The writer®refers to:â€"a Victory blue ssort suit, with black hat, shoes and gloves; a Burma ruby dinner .dress, with a little black jacket; a golden teige afterncoon ensemble, with insets of smoky blueâ€"black lace. Here are some suggestive paragraphs from the article by Carolyn Damin:â€" Make over your old black dress with a full yoke of royal blue edged with beige braid, and carry a blue bag with a big beige "V" sign cut out on it. Or the new Peruvian purple wiwen with deep violet and a bit of black. It‘s sriking, and you can choose any one of the three tones for your access@ries. Dcn‘t be afraid of a bright, clear red hat with an Empire green suit for sport (Empire green is a little lighter than emerald). Get a flame red, turquoise and beige â€"ito cool it offâ€"iplaid or striped jacket to wear with your black dress. Wear a beige jacket with a brown dress and pick them up with a vivid scarletâ€"throated blueâ€"winged bird on your lapel, another on your brown sport hat. Put yokes of all sorts of gay coloursâ€" one at a timeâ€"in your drab dresses, and add gold or brass or silver braid or embroidery that you repeat along the top seam of the sleeves. Wear an amber coloured dress with your dark brown fur coat. _ If you can afford to be really difâ€" ferent, line your dark cloth coat with a jade green pastel and wear a jJade pastel sweater, and a skirt to match the coat. Darken the tone of your stockings, by the way, and your accessories. If you‘re going to wear bright colours you want your accessories to be| a backâ€" ground for them, not a contestant for honours. Try one of these contrasts for new styling in every day street clothes or sports wear, by using one colour in the dress, another in the yoke or the sleeves. Natural with purple. Beige with black. Geranium with cocoa; corporal blue with fuchsia, pine leaf with fuchâ€" List to yon whirring wheels, Their surging sounds that ring like peals. From muted bells in praise Of them who build smoothâ€"paved highâ€" wayvs. Hark to yon whizzing wheels Through baselike notes to shifting reels, Their rhythmic huunming beats, In progress sure that naught defeats. Mark how the chuckling wheels Make butbbling laughter that time steals When pavements please them well, The wheels that spin where wise men dwell. Note how earâ€"minded wheels O‘er broken stone that cement seals Form a glad orchesitra Here‘s to the health of wheels, Lilting to our native ideals, Which tend to glorify Our lands where highways satisfy From yon wheels aâ€"spinning Listen to the murmur beating: "We stand on guard for thee" Encore: "We stand on guard for thee.‘ â€"R.
