SUNDAY, SEPT. 3, 19:
Keen a

how to select merchandise that will prove the best investment in
style and wearability.
But how can she tell which coat or suit or dress will five up
to her expectations? Is there any w. There is, according to Richa Silberstein Corp., makers of coat
offers some pointers on the subject of suits. | “There are certain details that spell the differences between a. really good suit and one that will be a disappointment. Ev ery woman can learn to watch for and check these fashion guideposts,”
says. “One of the most important the style itself of a suit. If it is extreme or too burdened with trimming, it quickly will become ‘dated’ and will not afford the period of wear that it should. “Therefore, the woman who shops wisely chooses a suit’ made, on classic, uncluttered lines that will ‘be smart and attractive as!
long as the fabric lasts. —
“The fabric itself is another

“Today, all suits are tagged as! to fabric and that very fact is ofien misleading. For the endur-
Ing style and wearability of al
suit depend as much upon the finish of the fabric—how it was ‘treated’ before the suit was cut—=| as upon the fabric-content Rtseir.”|
Look at Label “All suit fabrics should be pred shrunk before being cut, in order to assure the sizing and fit of} the suit. Careless or uneven] shrinking can result in a suit that looks beautiful until it goes] to the cleaner, but upon its return, bears a scant resemblance to its] original size. “A woman's best guarantee] that she is buying a suit in which the fabric has been properly pre-|
~ shrunk, lies in the label of a repu-
table manufacturer.” Buying the correct size is another point that Mr. Silberstein stresses. Many times a suit will

this expert advises. The shoulders | should ride comfortably on its|
wearer's shoulders and should be and a royal blue bengaline slim |
just wide “enough for the sleeves) to start directly at the top of the arm.
Average Figure The waistline button should hit just at the waistline and there should be no folds or creases under the arms, no ‘break’ in the back. All of these points will be automatically taken care of if a woman buys a suit in what really is her right size. But too few women know their own size, Mr. Silberstein says. “The average American woman is under five-feet-four inches tall and is short-waisted. Therefore, the average misses’ size suit is scaled too long for her. The waistline will not hit her in the right place. The sleeve will be
out of balance unless she indulges in costly alterations to have it remade to fit her properly.
that is scaled for the five-foot-four or less figure. Such a suit be. proportioned - especially; for her figure requirements.” Check Points If a suit requires costly alterations, it is a very definite sign
and it should ‘mot be purchased, Mr. Silberstein says. Other details he suggests checking are the way button holes are made, the way. the lining is put in, the size of the seams in the skirt. “While it is wise for every woman to know what details to watch, her greatest guarantee of value lies in buying from a reliable merchant and in buying merchandise carrying the label of Mr.
facturer,” Silberstein con-
cluded.

Budget Cl Class

Fall Fashions Fit
Figure and Purse
Now that the fall shopping season has started, almost all women find themselves trying on clothes they know they can’t afford, and a good many of them heave a sigh of relief when “the dream in the window” doesn’t look so well on the figure after all. That sort of brings them back to earth again, and into the realm of the majority of women whose aim in life is to spare the checkbook as well as to keep up with fashion. Fortunately, this fall's fashion
has something for everybody in|- \ connct!She..can-solve. most. .of these. tne way-of -sithouet -and-value:|-fitting problems by buying a suit
Most important of all the top couture trends which have many translations in .the budget class of clothes is the slim line dress. And many of the dresses that
are new in particular for such a|
silhouet are new, too, for the thin, interestingly-patterned wools and sleek men's wear fabrics that Niw York designers have used for them. The majority of these dresses are eased in effect with asymmetrical closings, = side-to-back drapery, low-placed flounces and soft-sleeved bodices . . . all trends in the news. One smart dress, on the other hand, has its slimness interrupted simply with narrow, brightcolored bands running across the bodice and again across the hipline. The dress itself is in heather gray wool jersey. - er —
Velvet Touch
Both ‘misses’ and junior fashfons with modest price tags come in much-talked-about velvet, and flattering velvet accents are’ general. One misses’ dress in black! velvet has this season's low “U” neckline “filled in” with a little white spun linen gilet, and short, cuffed sleeves. The skirt, slim in front, is little in back for {added becomingness. For junior figures, a black taffeta, has open sailor-shaped collar and brief sleeves piped with black velvet. The bodice fastens double-
