As' might be expected, there were many notable exceptions, such as the makeover suit job which ~ost a 14-year-old from Pleasant Plains, Ill, only half-a-dollar. \ An 11-year-old miss, Carol Martin of San Francisco, bought $14 worth of materials and made a splendid little boxy suit, that stood up just as beautifully in the national finals as the suit another youngster spent $60 to make. Contest judges had lots of girls’ spring coats to compare, too. And when entry blank {nformation was taken, later, to make comparisons, it was discovered that all coat material costs fell within the $13 to $25 range.

# » ” THE TIMES awards prizes of $50 first and $20 second in each group to the best garments sent in by our readers. We then send the first-prize winning garments on to New York, where they will be lined up and judged again, together with -first-prize winning garments from many local contests such as ours—and a grand first-prize winner from each garment classification will get an additional prize. Winning a first prize in the National includes a three-day holiday in New York. The two juniors who made the grade last year hailed from Portland,

IN GLAMOUR GROUP—Here is an example of the type of | garment that wins prizes in the National Sewing Contest. It's a lounging outfit which won first prize in the Glamour Group at Syracuse, N. Y., last year. It was created—without a pattern—by Ruth Mietzen, a home economics student at Syracuse University ... and it cost her only $16 to make.

Ore., and Cleveland, O. The Oregon miss—who was 17 at the time, is a young lady who learned to sew at mama's knee. She turned in a brown-and-white checked suit, made with typical teen-age expertness, just as if she had put in a long term as a tailor's apprentice.

The little lady from Cleveland, who was 16, won her way

dress, which she made for a friend.

Neither of these national prize winners set herself a very involved or difficult sewing task. They both chose simple stylings, becoming and not-too-expensive fabrics. But, the workmanship they put into their garments was meticulous and outstanding. Any bright girl among you Hoosier sub-

FASHIONS—

Adrian Puts the Accent on Slim Lines

look’ styles which you can’t successfully wear.” Since there are so many women to whom /slim-lined fashions -are more “becoming, his advice proved all to the good. » = » IN HIS spring and summer collection, Adrian still continues to put the accent on slim lines, ignoring the fuss ’'n’ feathers. Shoulders are wide. Skirts are at a 14-inch level above the floor. Tapered long lines abound. And buyers are hapny. Adrian has an explanation for the treatment (more complicated than it looks) which he gives to shoulders and bodice tops. He claims that women's clothes are most often seen and admired above the table top. So he provides “upper interest” in the jackets of suits. A navy wool in his new collection has triple rows of gray stripes extending in fin-like flaps across the upper part of the sleeves. The stripes are repeated in a three-quarter-length cape. A beige wool has “lapels” on the sleeves matching those at the neckline. A sea-green woolen suit is appliqued on one sleeve as well as down one side of the jacket with ribboned gingham strips. Other outfits have tiered shoulder capelets, short oversized sleeves puffed inches above the shoulder seams, and wide stoles. No matter what the jacket length (although most Adrian jackets are longish), skirts are slim and easy for daytime wear. ” » - AS IN ANY Adrian collection, there are bold or exaggerated prints. One is a bread-and-jug-of-wine photographic print on tablecloth checks. There's a “lamb frolic” print dinner dress, too. Fitting into the bold category of prints is a mammoth leaf motif, designed by an American Indian—Tom Two Arrows. The fabric was made up by Adrian with fringed detail in

Indian manner. In evening clothes, where functional wearability is not paramount, Adrian goes in for full-skirted ball dresses as well as India - inspired sari- like prints. One group of the evening clothes he calls “baby dresses,” inspired by high-waisted American fashions of 1812. These, done in pale chambrays and quaint cotton prints, have eyelet embroidered edges, fichus or deeply squared eyelet yokes. This type of dress, Adrian says, is “a whim not a fashfon,” and is meant for those who. can wear it.

LEAF PRINT—A mammoth leaf print in natural colored raw silk with henna and black is used by Adrian for an afternoon costume (right) in his new collection. The fabric was originated for the designer by an:Amer-

ican Indian and is handled in characteristic Indian manner with deep fringe edges on both the sleeves and the wide stole.
