New Ways to Wear Glamorous Scarfs That ‘Dash of Color’ Added By Bright Silken Prints.

By CHERIE NICHOLAS

It is said by those in position to know, that current scarf sales are breaking all previous records. Of course, there’s a “reason why.” In fact there are two reasons why scarf sales are “terrific,” as one dealer expressed it. The surpassing loveliness and chic, charm and versatility of the 1945 scarf is certainly one of the reasons. The many excitingly new ways of wearing gorgeous scarfs is the other. It seems that we are just beginning to discover the endless possibilities that a scarf offers to give striking accent to one’s costume. In those colorful printed silken squares that fashion-alert women are clamoring for this season, designers are finding endless inspiration to do most amazing things. This year one sees the gorgeous designfully patterned scarf worn in every conceivable way. For thal wanted “dash of color” designers find the answer in a glamorous scarf worn as a gypsy girdle about tht hips. They are also worn as fichus that tuck in at the waistlins under the belt, forming a pepluir frill. You tie a scarf halter-fashion about the throat, belt it in at the waist and you have a blouse fronl that, worn with your suit jacket, is ■tunning. r Tuck a flamboyant scarf in undei your belt so that it streams oul with nonchalant grace, and youi simplest gown will go utterly dramatic. On the beach as a protection from sunrays fling an exotic gay print scarf across your shoulders so that it falls in square lines instead of a shawl-like folded triangle. Bring the two ends at the top to the front where it ties in a knol with short pointed ends. If you are wearing a sunback dress, you can tuck the ends under the camisole straps of your gown and your scari can be made to form a short sleeve effect over each arm. Scarfs worn on the head are bringing new drama into the picture. A rectangle plaid taflfeta scarf is tied very casually at the top so that the crisp self-fringed ends stand up sprightly at the front.
