The ‘Emancipated” Line ls Newest Paris Look

By ROSETTE HARGROVE Times Spealal Writer

PARIS, Aug. 2—Jacques Fath casts his vote for the “emancipated” line, liberating women from all constraint. This development is as revolutionary as the “New Look” was when it first crashed the fashion scene in this

style capital of the world under the auspcies.of Christian Dior. Bosom, hips and waistline are just barely perceptible under subtle draperies which make skillful use of bias cut. Hems remain at the prevaliling levels, usually about 14 inches from the ground.

A WIDE variety of skirts is presented at this house, ranging from the slender tubular sheath to accordion-pleated versions,*and including box pleats,

gores medium, full and umbrel- |

la type.

over stiffened petticoats. Bodices have straps, wide or narrow, in many of these gowns,

Colors here are “subtle this year, featuring ‘all the beiges, some with such names as “putty,” “chewing gum,” and “donkey gray.” Canasta reds are often combined with black. Hats worn with the Fath creation include quill-trimmed felts a la Adolphe Menjou, Neapolitan caps and turbans—all tilted to one side.

Knit Goods

Demand Care

Cover the top of a discarded card table with plastic screening. Spread your knits on it before “they're washed, and trace their outline with chalk, Then, when the rinsed sweater or other article is ready for drying, just lay it on the screen,

smooth it out to fit the chalkdrawn outline, and leave it to dry. Knit garments should be laid flat to dry, you know. Having a table prepared for the job saves work and clutter; besides, the screen mesh allows both sides to dry at once.

Buy Them Longer

For better wear, buy stockings a half size longer than your actual foot measurements.

PRECIOUS wools and furs share honors among Fath's topcoats. One interesting model is mannish in cut, slightly flared in back and buttons all the way down the front. There are swinging, belted redingotes, too. Still adhering to the “emancipated” line, Fath presents a

wide diversity of beltless jump-
