Are Problems
Extra Material Needed for Matching
Plaids, so popular in the fashjon picture this fall, present a few special problems in home dressmaking, clothing specialists
agree, It 1s usually necessary to buy more material than the pattern calls for to make the plaid match at seams. Large plaids and those with up and down or right and left design take the most yardage. : When choosing a pattern to make up in plaid, look for simple lines and little decorative detail. plaid itself offers enough decoration so that faficy extra [touches are not needed, and the

THE TINIEST, quietest ball of fire in the fashion world is Adele Bimpson, whose clothes have a shape and character all their own, but who believes strongly in following the major shifts in fashion as they take place. Mrs, Simpson's miniature size is known to everybody, but that . . . contrasted with her super-efficiency as a partner in the successful firm of Mary Lee, Inc. , . . is a continuing surprise, She never seems like the executive she is. Her office is a tiny but well-furnished room at thé back of the company's quarters, And she does most of her work perched on a windowsill in the showroom. » » . HER private life is encompassed by her husband, Wesley Simpson, and two children, Jeffrey, 15, and Joan, 10. The family could model for a Model Family, for they work and play
er Jeffrey designs fabrics for his father to make and his mother to fashion. “Joanie” is very serious with suggestions to both parents. Last season she overheard her mother discussing a crisis in the office with one of her associates. Two days later Joan came to her mother with a set of 10 sketches, very professionally attached to swatches of fabric. “I know you are worried about the collection, Mummy, and I thought I'd help you out.” Just as seriously, Adele explained that it was already too late for this season, but invited her down to the staff previews, and listened to her suggestions for changing a belt or a sleeve, .

Charm
Is Vital
Thoughtfulines Plays Big Part THOUGHTFULNESS which stems from kindess is part and parcel of that elusive quality callel charm in a woman. To rate the compliment “charming” doesn’t mean a woman must be cloyingly-sweet but it does mean that any tendency towards bad manners or {ll-tem-
out of a woman's habits. A really charming woman looks for the good in people. She resists the temptation to ridicule friends or strangers. She would never exchange amused glances with her escort over another woman's plight of being overdressed, over-loud or over-con-spicuous in public. A display of contempt or ridicule indicates a lack of friendliness toward someone which a charming woman never lacks.
” . . * NOR DOES she complain loudly. in public about service, about bad food or about the people who may annoy her in a restaurant, | theater or gathering place. Loud aggressiveness is one of the best ways to tell that a woman lacks charm, Boasting is another charm-de-stroyer. If a friend mentions that she has a new small home, “Miss I-Can-Top-That” will count out the vast number of rooms her house has, the bigger car she is buying, the better school in which she has put her child and the better job her husband has. This kind of pointless boasting is not only an appalling display of bad taste but it can be actually harmful if, as it so often does, it makes| a woman's friends discontented or unhappy.

Big Pockets Fashion Trend
Some Drop Below Waist
pockets, on the big end of fashion this fall, come in assorted shapes and sizes, invariably becoming to the figure. Generally, designers have used big, standout pockets for slim skirts and big, soft pockets for fullish skirts. In either case, the dress-with-big-pockets makes its wearer look smaller through the waistline and hips rather than simply giving her something to put her hands into. Often, it's done by dropping the pockets to just below the waist, and either rounding or slanting them at the
Contrasting with big patch pockets right out in the open on many dresses are hidden pockets boldly-flapped at a provocative angle. Tailored pockets for spectator sports dresses, shirred or braided pockets for afternoon, and embroidered pockets for 5 o'clock run alike to width and depth and always-pleasing decor.
Pockets in Both
Frequently, the bodice of a dress is pocketed similarly to the skirt. Qne charming example, a New York dress of cafe au lait crepe with short, cuffed sleeves and front fullness, has largish flap patch pockets on a slant at the hips, and again, below the shoulders. Another dress, in two-toned wool jersey, has a smooth-fitting
blouse top without pockets, but|.
detailed with double tabs at the neckline to match the detail on the skirt pockets.
Red Corduroy
Several interesting dresses In still another New York collection are designed with a wide, backdipping band divided into pockets| set onto the skirt about midway down. One such dress, in bright red corduroy buttoned down the front, may also be worn without its tailored belt, as a coat. One enormous pocket on the side of a sheath skirt is a favored treatment for afternoon and 5 o'clock fashions. .For instance, there's a high-necked. dress of black wool with long, slim sleeves and a single immense draped pocket opening out with pointed flaps at one hip. Braided all over, the pocket is edged with wool fringe. x
