on flowers particularly roses and insects at close range most enjoyable evening was spent in viewing the wonderful world of nature She Looks better now than she did to years ago We all know few women of whom this is admiringly said What is meant very often is She dresses so much better now that she is more attractive than ever The corrective and rejuvenating powers of becom ing clothes should be kept in mind when resolving to Im prove our locks and wardrobes in 1962 What fashions has the new year in store for us Lots of flared flounced or pleated skirts loose middle and silver dresses tied with sashes or drawstrings plenty of strip es going every which way brilliant prints and fragile flouting fabrics for our ultra feminine moments DIVERSITY 0F STYLES Obviously great diversity oi styles fabrics and colors is available and its the wise no man who governs her selection according to her own coloring and figure proportions of course the woman who sews her own once she learns what is most becoming to her can combine fabrics and pat tems with flattering results Sewmg techniques pertaining to the camouflage of figure faults or the playing up of assets can be obtained from the experts at local sewing centres and from several sewing manuals Here are few basic rules The toll slim woman should choose horizontal lines full or doiman sleeves and large ac cessories Rich fabrics and col ors will add grace to her fig IIBr PETITE FIGURE Her short slim sister should keep trimming and accessories small and neat Simple tailor Bules Differ From Figure To Figure ed garments are the best choice for the short stout figure Suits may not be becoming unless they are made in Iiflitweight dark iabriu very simply tail bred and with mediumdength rather than long or cropped jackets Tight fitting garments should be avoided and belts too unless they are very row and of the same shade the dress The fullbusted figure should never no car in tightfitting skirt or louse or in raglan or dolmnn sleeves The flat chcsted figure however re quires draped or bloused front treatment Whether the arms are too thin or too heavy tight sleeves should be avoided in favor of some softer treatment We shaped arms and throats should be emphasized with trimming details Longhaired tors and high necklines are less attractive around thickshort neck but are wonderful for making thin neck look graceful Vcllshap ed legs can be emphasized with hemline detail but older wo men no matter how graceful their throats or legs should never wear very low necklines or very short skirts So in considering the new fashions choose styles that suit your own special type to your local sewing centre will teach you how to combine say neckline from one pattern and skirt from another to make dress that is both fash ionnble and flattering to you MANY SPECIES Virtually all the 500 varieties of cherries now cultivated origi nated with two European spe cies one sweet the other sour BaomR6cks Iet Age Baby mother
