SORORITIES

‘Women Urged

To Help Plan

'Reconversion

By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON Scripps-Howard Staff Writer

MARGARET HICKEY, chairman

lof the war manpower commission, believes that women’s clubs should | begin plans for industrial conver{sion from war to civilian produc{tion — now.

| Mrs. Florence Free MacDonald will] She calls attention to a startling

'fact. In 1943, 11,000,000 women living in city areas and having no | children under 14 were doing noth-

ing but their own housework, while

many other millions with children | were working in industry. Chief (victims of such an‘ unbalance were

1 Hagler LeMasters, Franklin, and children, of course.

| Miss Hickey feels we cannot |settle feminine post-war problems |by the simple device of ordering women back home. And having (access to _ industrial facts, she |knows that were in for a lot of {trouble when the change comes. To prepare for meeting it is a worthwhile aim.

2 2 =n WOMEN'S CLUBS could be a great help. If a community committee, representing all organizations, would assume some responsi- | bility for smooth adjustment the {turnover might not be so painful. Now when the shortage of workers is still acute, something could also be done by organization effort to help older, childless women into jobs and induce the mothers of young children with incomes to stay at home. _The recruiting of women after Pearl Harbor was done too hastily. Emphasis was put upon jobs rather than service, and service in caring for one’s own babies is more essential to the national welfare than any other work. Margaret Hickey’s informative pamphlet called “The Wartime Responsibility of Women’s Organizations” should be required reading for every club president.

1. Cotton has grown so sophisticated that it ranks as a teammate for crepe . .. as in this crisp, white pique top above a short, straight black crepe skirt. The low, round neckline, the cap sleeves and the

flaring peplum are eyelet embroidered.

(Block’s.)

2. The word for cotton suits like this one of iridescent chambray is “sleek.” It is one of the examples that prove cottons have made their debut as town-wear styles. Relying on clean-cut lines for its style, the suit gives in to femininity with the ruff around the square neck. It's a Charles Armour model which will be available af Ayres’. (Cotton-Textile Institute photo.)

3. Designers show gingham for every summer occasion.

This one-piece afternoon style in checked

gingham, by Herbert Sondheim, has cool extended shoulder-sleeves and a three-tiered peplum in front only. The bodice buttons are jeweled, and the set-in waistband is grosgrain. (Wasson's.)

Cotton Fashions Acquire Worldly Airs

By LOUISE FLETCHER Times Women's Editor

THERE'S NOTHING “country cousin” about cotton styles nowadays. Since practically all the top bracket designers have taken them in hand, cottons have become “city slickers.” They've moved in among what stylists call the better dresses and are every whit as worldly as the pure silks, the satins and the rayon crepes with which they hobnob. This is good news for the townbound weman who spends summer in the heat that bounces up from the pavements. She fings cottons comfortable for their coolness; practical for their tubbability. And the fact that they have acquired sophistication is all to the good. s ” os PART OF THIS new-found sophisticgtion may be attributed to the new types of cotton with which the designers were able to work this year. There is balloon cloth, woven of long-staple cotton, making a soft and silky looking fabric. Four million yards of this were released by the government when it was decided the possible need for barrage balloons seemed remote. Cotton twill is another material released for civilian use and now is being made into numerous

styles, particularly into city suits |

in black or white, A more or less recent arrival is Guatemalan cotton in vivid colors. Old standbys which have taken on a city slant are iridescent chambray, gingham, poplin, pique and seersucker. Adding style interest to soft cot tons are the prints formerly used only for silks. They are handscreened as in silks and the designs range from paisleys and allover scroll effects to large spaced motifs, the latter frequently on dark backgrounds. Seen hereabouts is Joseph Halpert's afternoon dress in black Sea Island long-staple cotton with sizable pink roses scattered across it.

= 2 n THE SAME DRESSMAKER details that characterize silks are employed for cottons—draping, tucking, trimmings such as jew= eicd buttons and fabric flowers. Typical of the latter are a cou= ple of linen-finish cotton costumes shown by one of the local stores. Done in garnet or emerald green, they have the season's deep necklines and short sleeves and are ‘‘duded” up with fabric roses of identical shades tucked into belts or poised at shoulders, Many of the cottons are the deep-ton=d colors most suitable for town wear, and the newsiest of these is black—all black, black used to underlin2 the cool icok of pastels, black threaded through the designs of checked and plaid ginghams.

Wed April 22

Claire McCardell designs a “commuter’s suit” in lime, pink, blue or white which has a bareback weskit in black and narrow black pipings on the short onebutton jacket and down the side seams of the straight skirt. Evening dresses are in the front line of the cotton chorus, too— not just the ingenue-ish Southern

Belle type of thing but dresses with subtlety in their design. Most emphatic proof that cotton is no longer in the naive category is the aplomb with which it becomes a companion for more costly materials. There is the peplumed white

pique top of an outfit whose nether section is a short black

crepe skirt. On occasion, the top may be worn with a long skirt to make a dinner-dance costume. Designers who have placed their seals upon crepe-and-cotton duos include Adele Simpson, Rose Barrack and Hattie Carnegie, Miss Simpson introduced suits with crepe skirts and jackets of gingham, bright Guatemalan cotton or striped chambray. Carnegie's cotton suits are lined with crepe and a brown-and-white checked gingham she showed in New York is trimmed with brown satin.
