THE CUSTOMER can’ walk "into almost any store and get attention, Clerks are once again more

You cannot only get delivery these days, but prompt delivery. And no one looks outraged when you ask for some special service.’

Many a woman who grew to hate shopping during the war years, and the scarcity years that followed, is waking up to find that happy shopping days are here again. . The customer may not always be right, but she's usually welcome. She's an important person, whether she pays cash, says “charge it, please,” or admits she is “just looking.”

TOUCH OF PIQUI

» » » » . s By LOUISE FLETCHER, Times Woman's Editor HILE THE VERY full skirt is on the decline in daytime fashions, there still will be plenty of whirl in the dresses set to make their bow at spring and summer dances. This became apparent as the New York Dress Institute held its semi-annual press showings in Manhattan this week. Four typical examples of party frocks are pictured. ke j An evening dress of navy blue silk taffeta with wide-spread-ing skirt is designed by Joseph Whitehead for spring and sum-

mer. White Alencon lace is appliqued in festoons on a separate |

navy blue taffeta apron. The choker is of white roses. Cell Chapman's evening gown of absinthe green silk rep Sains skirt fullness by way of godets. There is a boned and molded bodice with a bias fold forming a swag across the bustline. Still more width is given a dotted faille (white on gray) evening dress by a deep inverted pleat running full-length in the center of the. skirt, Designed by Bruno, of Spectajor Sports, the dress has an off-shoulder neckline collared in faille with an overlay of white pique, From the William Bass firm is the black lace cofktall dress with a full, tiered skirt over a black taffeta petticoat. Fleshtoned marquiset goes beneath the shirtwaist top with its line of rhinestone buttons.

mistreated by the bosses, their folks and their friends are poor husbands. They whine at every set-back—they buck every responsibility.
