THE FASHION compass points South this time of year as sun-seekers

plan their winter vacation wardrobes. Arrival of some resort and cruisewear clothes is a little behind schedule here this season, but style trends already are apparent. Big néws is in sunbright colors as well as dazzling white « « «» in finer fabrics . . . and in unfussy, simpler styling. ¢ ©

WHITE IS SO popular that itis expected to carry over into spring for wear up here in the North. In resort wear it is white for crisp linen, shown in a Ben Reig strapless dress (black patent belt) and jacket, and in a messjacketed suit by De De Johnson. White serves as the background for a Carolyn Schnurer sunback in tie-motif print, a pure silk print and a maroon toile print on waffle pique. The Tattersall checks of a Miron flannel skirt are based on white and it's white again for the skirt of a knitted suit with striped blazer © Jacket to give it a nautical touch. More white appears in the cotton shirt or the evening sweater worn with hand-blocked cotton resort skirts. A terry beach coat by Carolyn Schnurer is pristine white, too. Prints, responsible for much of the color in sunny-skies fashions, range from tiny

motifs swiped from a man’s necktie to out size designs that would be at home on drapery fabrics. The tie-motif shown is printed in red. The confetti dots on a sunburst pleated skirt are organgey red, black and royal blue (the latter to match the shantung bodice of a oneplece dress which looks like a two-piecer). Jim Tillett of Mexico City puts bold, colorful hand-blocked designs on skirts of cotton with a linen texture. Bright red and navy make the plaid in. an off-shoulder cotton cocktail costume by Mollie Parnis. (Navy velvet collars the jacket.) ® * SWIMSUITS SHARE in fabric interest, whether they're two-piece or the one-plecer returning to favor. Cole of California uses a new water-marked velvet for one style and Rose Marie Reid makes a semi-classic onepiecer (with half-skirt in back and front) of woven raindrop patterned Lastex. Navy and red are favored colors, particularly when teamed with white as in the nautical look knitted suit and in the Tattersall checked skirt. Lots of pleats, that “nautical” look, low-cut or strapless dresses with coverup jackets for round-the-clock wear, cooltop (sleeveless) dresses . . . all are fashion highlights. See Page 27 for stores handling the fashions pictured. ’

Counter-Spy— Luggage Solves Twe Current Problems’

‘By LOUISE FLETCHER, Times Woman's Editor HERE'S A DOUBLE-BARRELED reason for look-

ing into luggage shops and departments at this time of year. In the first place, luggage is in high favor as Christmas gifts. And second, those lucky.enough to be California, Bermuda or south-bound frequently need additional space to cart sunny-clime clothes. These considerations sent us out to round-up today's Counter-8py report. Right off the bat it should be noted that the 20 per cent federal tax must be added to ALL LUGGAGE PRICES quoted.
