Floating Panels in Fashion

—

LOATING PANELS are a Paris fashion detail already appearing in American-made styles. In Hannah Troy's summer collection shown recently in New York were these two French-inspired dresses. Flowing back panels (left) give motion to a slim silhouet which introduces funnel revers and jutting pockets. Adapted from a Balenciaga costume, the dress is of sheer black crepe. Diaphanous black chiffon (right), fashioned after Jacques Griffe, has a swirling side drape that spills from sbft shirring.

Unusual Designs Mark Line Of Kellogg Stationery

By LOUISE FLETCHER, Times Woman's Editor ORE GIFTS FOR GRADUATES: Some Kellogg stationery they're showing in Charles Mayer's stationery department could very well find itself among graduation gifts soon to be unwrapped. In addition to being attractive in itself, it comes in a variety of intriguing packages. Qpe is a square cardboard basket, rose-printed and with a ribbon handle, holding an assortment of note paper in white, gray, pale pink and blue. Then there's the “Booty Bag”’—a Roman-striped fabric drawstring bag holding white notepaper. After the paper's used, the bag might serve as a cosmetic carryall. Each of these is tagged at $1.50. There's also a chest of 48 crisp, white sheets and 48 envelopes called “A Hunting We Will Go.” The envelopes, instead of being lined, have a hunt scene printed inside. It's $4. Another Kellogg motif used as a print inside the envelope flap is ““Dixie Fiesta” and it has whole and quarter watermelons in the design. The paper itself is white—36 folded sheets and 36 envelopes at $3. “Tete-a-Tete,” another design, has a couple of frogs conversing from perchés on lly pads. Twenty-four sheets and 24 envelopes cost $3. There's a whole flock of pretty and whimsical designs in the line—feathers, flowers, etc. In an elfin mood is “Drollery,” 36 small note sheets and 36 envelopes ($2) with lobsters and crabs used in the envelope flap ornamentation.

It's a griddle meter which tells when the temperature is just right for batter pouring. The cakes sizzle to golden brown-ness at the ideal temperature and slip off without sticking. This is $1.50. It's made by the West Bend outfit which also turns out a 3-in-1 griddle-broiler-server which can be used for frying and broiling meats as well as making griddle cakes. $3.75.

A fashion fact which may have escaped a great many women is that their

ankles have become greater focal points of interest than before!

When knee length dresses were in vogue, the observant eye was some. how distracted from the ankle. Buf now, when the eye hits the hemline, the ankle is near the line of vision. If a woman's frock is in the finest fashion,

but her footwear is uncomplimentary, she might as well be wearing a smock!

Shoe designers have answered the challenge of the new “ankle attention” with significant style changes in almost every form of footwear. Today, the shoe shops and department stores of Indianapolis can outfit the fashionable

woman with footwear flattering to every modish ensemble in her wardrobe,

‘ Some of the newest styles are illustrated on this page. Many others appear frequently in advertisements in The Indianapolis Times. For many

. ~~ years The Indianapolis Times has been a leading newspaper through which In-

dianapolis shoe shops and department stores present their fashionable footwear,
