By KATY ATKINS IT HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL WEEK with peaple coming home and reunions everywhere from the

hairdressers’ and the grocery stores to informal gatherings at home. One lovely sunny afternoon I dropped into Mrs. Sylvester Johnson's and found a Canasta game on the terrace. Mrs. Harry Schlotzhauer was there, having just come home from six weeks in Buffalo. Part of the time she had her grandson while Bunny and George Burrows were off for their vacation in Michigan. Another evening~l saw Mr. and Mrs. Jullan Bobbs at the Landon Davises. They have come from Northport early this year and are deep in preparations for Ann Bobbs' wedding next month. Nancy and Peter Hackleman and Mrs. Ward Hackleman Sr. have motored to Leland where they have Mrs. William Taylor's cottage. The John Jamesons got back from Leland Wednesday and are in a whirl getting young Florence off to Smith.

Fabric Departments Become Busy Fashion Centers

Materials With New Surface Interest Are Ready for the Home Seamstress

By LOUISE FLETCHER, Times Woman's Editor HANKS TO 'YARD-GOODS departments, home seamstresses can whip up garments boasting as much fabric interest as those produced by professional designers. New types of materials are available across the fabric counters just about as soon as they make their . appearance in ready-made styles, And that—in a season when fashion news is built around fabrics—makes the yard-goods department an important style center, New textures and weaves appear in all types of fabrics, no matter what fiber goes into them; no matter whether they're intended for. sports, street or formal wear. Puffs, crinkles, nubs, dobby dots, Jacquard weaves, fleecy textures . . . all are represented. Some fabrics adopt weaves formerly used in entirely different types of material.. Thus satins and taffetas appear with dobby dots which used to be seen, for the most part, in woolens. And wool dress fabric shows up with a. Jacquard weave which is more usual in silk or rayon. The . ~ Jacquard wool, an imported 54-inch fabric, is at Ayres’ in an array of about 15 colors, from dark or muted shades to such uninhibited colors as royal blue, scarlet and Kelly green, It is $5.50 a yard. Last summer's nylon seersucker apparently started a rage for crinkled and pebbled surfaces in fabrics made of other fibers: “Cobblestone,” by Remond Holland, is a silk with a pebbly surface. In iridescent tones—navy, black, mauve, red, dark green, gray, copper, etc.—it is $495 a yard at Ayres’. Puffed nylon, .42 inches wide, is $3.95 in. ‘14 tones including black. Mal"mson’s’ Tisswe Put’ ds a0 tissue faille ‘crepe given a crinkled weave. Also 42 inches wide, it is $2.50 a yard. A beautifully crisp, almost stiff, dobby fallle at Ayres’ comes from the Amerjcan Silk Mills and would be perfect for late-day costumes. In 45-inch width, it is $2.50 a yard for iridescent tones; tig & $2 a yard for non-iridescent. From the same source comes dobby taffeta. ; The tiny, evenly spaced dots have a satiny gleam. This is $1.49 a yard. . : Customer demand for jersey and velveteen keeps every one hopping—from clerks to manufacturers. Jerseys at Ayres’ include not only solid colors ($3 a yard) but stripes, too. One of these, by Wyner, is pictured. The woven. design horizontal stripes is brown and coral against shades It's $3.50 a yard. Velveteens, 36 inches wide, are there's a cotton velvet by Cheney, 39-inch width, at price. (Difference between cotton velvet and velveteen the latter has a “up” and “down” to the fabric which be taken imto consideration in cutting a garment. The cotton velvet is erect so there is no such “up” and “down” length of the fabric.)

Fur Evening Dress Coming

(CORDUROY, WHICH OCCUPIES such a big spot in fall fashions, occupies a big spot in Block's yardgoods department. Juilliard’s “Cooleroy” at $1.79 a yard comes in a rainbow of colors: Camel, green, brown, Dubonnet, rose, scarlet, gray, ‘blue, royal, navy, black, etc. There's also a printed houndstooth check ($2.25) which looks like just the thing for weskits or jackets. Jufllard’s “Zepheroy” and ‘Featheroy,” washable and Sanforized, are $2.25 a yard. . Cheney velveteens at Block's, 39 inches wide and $2.98 a yard, are in a variety of colors and also in white. (One of the prettiest cocktall dresses shown this year by New York designers is Jo Copeland's white velveteen, perfectly simple emoept for two patch pockets embroidered with gold and pears.) = = = vse While we're on the subject of white dresacs, 5 fabulous one will be shown at Block's Wednesday and Thursday during the fashion teas sponsored by the Indiana State Symphony Soclety’s Women’s Committee. It is a fur evening gown . . . white Ras

sian caracul. A Ritter Origa), it's arriving especially for the two teas.

§E2s8 Sebel

” . . Home seaimstresses will be intrigued by a new spool holder (pictured) they have "in Block's notions department. It is a round plastic case big enough to hold 120yard spools (smaller ones, too). It keeps thread clean and on the spool so there are no loose ends to get tangled in sewing basket or machine drawer. A metal gadget on one side holds the loose ends * of the thread and also cuts off the length desired, Holes in top cap and bottom permit: its use on the sewing machine’s thread spindles. The spool holders are 10 cents « each. ~ . ~ » Tweeds at Block's come ‘In all weights; heavy for coats, featherweight for dresses. ‘ Juilliard’'s “Hearth Stone” coating is $6.95. The same firm's “Tipster Tweed” dress crepe is $4.50 and “Dimity” tweerl (another light, dressweight) is $5.50. The Julliard “Belbourne” tweeds are $3.95

Raw Silk Fabric Is Shown

HE COLORS THAT ARE POPULAR in ready-to-wear this fall are just as popular in yard goods, they say at Wasson's. An example is copper, sametimes known as bittersweet or rust. It is a best seller in any fabric, including taffeta. (They have it in one of those dobby dot taffetas called “Dimples,” which is extra wide ~—48 inches.) - Wasson’s taffetas also include a velvet-printed type at $1.49 a yard. An especially effective piece is emerald green with maple leaf motifs, outlined with velvet, “floating” all over it, Hobhail rayon satin, which has little, non-shiny polka dots against a gleaming background, is also at Wasson's—$1.98 &

yard; 42 inches in width. The dots, as in dobby dot taffeta, are the same color as the rest of the fabric. ’
