Ee -------------- . SATURDAY, DECEMBER: 18, 1948 THE -DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE FIVE Introduce Novelty In New Clothes Wet-Weather Rainy-day wear, Cinderella of 'British wardrobes for 10 years, has leaped right into the center of the spring fashion picture, Melita Sproggs, Christian Science Monitor corduroy and worsteds, georget and tweeds. To be "show d is thus no longer the moopoly of a ¥amited range of coats. This, and a gen easing clothes rationing, makes it possible for more Britons to buy new rain- coats, And it is certainly time, since many of them have been managing with drab old "trench" coats bought before the war, De- signers have thus been encouraged by increased sales on the home market to bring these designs more into line with those for export models. Gay Colors Come Back Gay colors, new materials, flow- ing lines of mew season styles re- place the austerity of wartime pat- terns. When these new "showerproof" models are retailed in shops next February, it will not be possible #0 tell them from ordinary coats, except perhaps their wearers will remain calm and unruffled when raindrops begin to fall. : The spring range of Delby Coats, pioneers of clothesproofing, inclydes coats and suits for town, tweed swaggers and fitted coats for the country, and a gay selection of new styles in proofed cotton, art silk, crepe, and other materials. Delby Coats claim also te be the only firm which proofs the season's miost-sought-after material here-- corduroy. A range of Delby-proofed cor- duroy coats is sold in most of the larger London and provincial stores for about £12. Wool georgette spring coats in this collection make news. We have not seen any quantities of this ma- terial since wartime restrictions y ed it from the home market. It is now used in Empire-line spring coats with upstanding collar, stylized pockets, dolman sleeves, and shaped belts. And it can be showerproofed. Never Mind the Rain Fine gray or green worsted is used for "Cabriolet," a fitted showerproofed town coat which has an elbow-length detachable cape. The coat, slim-fitting with princess lines and high Jastening collar, makes a smart town when the cape is removed. A The showerproofed suits, how- ever, are the novelty of the col- lection. These have the latest de- --pencil-sim or pleated skirts, dolman or inset sleeves. dark gray and donkey brown, has: a fitted packet with tab fastening. traight, Skirt "Claret," another worsted suit in navy blue, black, or chocolate, has straight slim skirt, slit and round- ed at the center front and back. Proofing of the new spring coats and suits does not add to the re- tail priee. They sell at prices rang- ing from £12 to £21 in most large stores. Most recent and exciting venture from 'the Delby house is the use of a new French nylon material called "Cracknyl" io make the lightest- weight raincoats it is. possible to imagine. Since coats made of this material cannot be sold on the home market the manufacturers are introducing them to the United States through 'Wanamaker's of New York. In a warm climate where a light mackintosh is a necessity, these shimmering creations should meet the need for shower jackets, slightly flared . basques, {.

Garon for the Liberal government and 48-year-old Mrs."Barle Keating for the C.C.F., takes place Monday after a cam- paign hindered by the worst winter storms of year. The by-election, one of three to be held Monday, was made when Resources Minister J. A. Glen resigned the seat to pave the way for the entry of Mrs. Garson, 50- year old lawyer and former Mani- toba Premier into the House of Commons. 4 Throughout his campaign, Mr. Garson has expounded policies of the Federal government and de- fended his leadership of Manitoba's coalition government of the Liberal Progressive and Progressive Conser- vative parties against attacks by the C.C.F. candidate. DON'T LIKE PAIN Washington, Dec. 18 -- (AP) -- George Becraft, 31-year-old sales- man says he doesn't like the sight of pain. So today he's going to let surgeons strip 100 square inches of skin from his back and thighs. The reason? He just wants to ease the pain "of a tough. game little kid I like." The "kid" is four-year-old Michael Rector who suffered third and fourth degree burns over three- fourths of his body a month ago after his clothing caught fire when he was playing with matches. 3 AL... i.e. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN A lot of people already accustomed to pictures of the Marquess of Milford- Haven On-The-Town with young ladies in the news, are in for a bit of a shock.

They could be worn happily over an evening dress since the material has the curved like taffeta. Warmth Provided, Too In England, where the need is most often for a warm coat which willl keep off the odd shower, the proofed tweed is'a welcome addi- tion to the coat range. A swag- ger in pastel shaded plaids with plain tuxedo front should be a favorite with the larger woman who needs a coat of generous full- ness, | Gay tartan raincoats with bon- net-shaped hoods, full skirts, ca- pacious enough to go over another coat, are already popular with the younger set, When cotton is proofed, the re- sult is Linette, a material which looks rather like thick linen and lends itself well to dainty pastel colorings. Then there is proofed spun crepe whiéh does not crease and is done in blue, maroon and green; there is rubberized art silk in white, royal, blue, black, brown and fawn. 'The rainy-day scene should cer- t | tainly be gayer this spring than for many a long day.

Investi- gatior. disclosed the drug had been shipped here from Oshawa. nection with a narcotics seizure in that city. . They also started investigating possible Toronto connections of three men and a woman now fac- ing "possession" charges in Van- couver. Police said one reason Toronto peddlers are suspected of taking their drugs to the west coast is be- cause prices are higher there than in Toronto. They said haroin, for instance, sells in Vancouver for four times what Toronto 'addicts pay. Toronto police recently intensi- fied their investigations into drug traffic. They attributed gun battles and "gang wars" to rivalry among underworld narcotics rings. break that will lead to a general clean-up of the racket," said a vet- eran police officer.
