Combinations In Fashions
Dress fashions appear for the new season in a happy combination of versatility and gentle femininity. With convertible necklines, jackets and other removable extras as well as a wealth of soft drapery creating comfortable wearability from morning to evening, in town or country.
Featured in a crisp array of fabrics, such as wool-and-rayon blends, corduroys, worsted-y looking cotton, jerseys and wools with repp, ribbed or shantung weaves, the star of newest frock fashions is the convertible dress with the coat style and sheath silhouette closely following in desirable appeal for fall.
With a cardigan-sweater style jacket, the ensemble looks jaunty and easy going. Teamed with a figure-molding tailored jacket, the pair give a "one-piece" outlook. And when combined with a tapered loose-hanging jacket, a costume suit effect is achieved.
Slim and neat in design, many of the most popular of the new convertible dress fashions have a trim decolleate or a high-rising neckline that sometimes is an exaggerated knitted turtle neck style and comes complete with a removable jacket.
Other dresses acquire their "convertibility" through the simple maneuverings of their necklines. For instance, glamorous decollete lines can be filled in with dainty scarfs, yokes button in or out to meet the occasion, high jewel necklines invite a variety of jewelry, while open necklines can be unfolded or untied with a mere flick of the wrist.
The coat dress, ever a season-to-season favorite, looks fresh, new and wonderfully feminine with a diagonal or off-side closing and an apron, tunic or overskirt easing of the skirt. The sheath dress, too, has brand new appeal emanating from softening tunics, aprons or overskirts.
Skirts on newest dresses. both convertible and otherwise, present a wider choice than ever. But whether full or slim, all are softened by deft touches of hipline drapery, stand-out peplums, tunics, all-around pleats or pleats confined to the hemline for ease in walking.
And providing a perfect complement to new, more detailed skirts are the simple three-quarter, push-up and balloon sleeves featured on dresses for fall.
Novelty Weaves Style New Look
A high fashion look, by means of high waistline emphasis, is news this fall in knitted suits and dresses. With novelty weaves, chain designs, vertical ribbing and stripe effects cleverly knitted into suits and dresses to create a lovely "empire" effect.
Striping, too, is employed, both in the sleeve itself or in blouse or jacket trim. Deep Dolman sleeves and novel stitching, like the alternating box and purl stitch, do much to pretty a simple knot frock.
Self belts, small peter pan collars plus dazzling metallic thread heraldic emblems add the final beautiful touches to this fall's knit suits and dresses.
The convertible dress becomes a feature fashion this fall. One example is the short sleeve dress with its own fitted and lined notched jacket, shown above. Designed for the 5'5" and under woman by Varden Petites.
Particularly flattering to the tall woman are new fall fashions. For contrary to last season's sheath slim lines, newest gracefully full skirts to make to the least of the distance between waist and ankle.
Fashions Flatter The Taller Girl
The present flurry of king sized buttons, generously flapped and asymmetrically placed pockets, full flared collars, big lapels and bat winged sleeves, dramatically cuffed all serve to cut the length of the torso, says Peg Newton who designs especially for the taller woman.
Even jewelry is scaled to tall girl dimensions this fall. Its big, chunky, dramatic, center of interest pieces are in perfect proportion to the tall girl's super footage.

Clean 'Em
To get soiled hankies really clean, put them in a porcelain pan and cover with cold water to which a third of a cup of soap and two tablespoons of bleach have been added. Heat the water to the boiling point and then rinse the handkerchiefs under warm running water and add them to the washing machine load.

The Kansas Power and Light Company, too, is at work building a better Kansas This year alone, The Kansas Power and Light Company, a self-supporting, investor-owned Kansas company, is spending $17,000,000 for the expansion and improvement of its facilities. Still more is planned for future years. All these expenditures and expansion of service is for one purpose . . . to provide more and better service to more and more Kansans . . . to keep ahead of the growing needs of our State.
The farming industry is rightfully referred to as the backbone of Kansas. The Kansas farmer works hard tilling the soil and growing crops to help feed the people of our State and Nation. His farming operations present the opportunity for other businesses and industries to develop and prosper. He is a typical example of the many Kansas citizens who are working together to build a better Kansas.
