Coats With Golden Glamor Shown By Custom Designer
New York—(UP)-Irregular hemlines as startling as the ups and downs of the knee-baring 20's, cape-coats with the golden glamor of an opera stage, and daytime suits and dresses were presented this week by Castillo, Spanish-born Paris-taught custom designer for Elizabeth Arden.
For the majority of American women they are clothes to dream
on not clothes in which to live. But the imaginative beauty and originality of the Castillo creations are bound to have their influence on the dresses that do fit into busy lives.
The silhouette follows the accepted pattern—small waist, full skirt, narrow shoulders—with particular emphasis on backward fullness. A "Z" silhouette teams the back skirt drapery with forward juting cut in the front bobbie.
Emphasis On Fullness
A two-piece costume in navy tafeta points up the silhouette. The square-necked, narrow shoulder-strapped dress has a bustline built out with gathered fullness matching the wide ruffle at the back hemline. The jacket gets its built-out front with stand-out revers; its peplum is ruffled in back to match the skirt hem.
Stiffness of fabric and fullness is widely used -chiffon is laid over taffeta for a two-tiered evening skirt. A comparatively simple fitted beige wool coat has its flared skirt billed with crinoline.
browned.
Other draperies, however, are one of the loveliest and, to the most difficult to achieve runs a facing of crushed material horizontally in and out of vertical fullness. It is used as hipline treatment and around the neckline of a strappeless dress with the up and down fullness tidied into V clusters of tucks.
Irregular Hemlines
Irregular hemilines
Almost every dress designed for after dusk is shown with an irregular helmline. For cocktail and informal dinner hours, the dresses are a few inches below street length at front and dip their full gathered draperies to the ankle at back, usually from low dipping waistlines. In formal gowns the front is longer, the back dipping with full-naught caught between wing-shaped drapery. Other evening hemlines swirl irregularly all around—in irregular deep scallops or in handkerchief points.
Glamor wraps of the collection are the capes with waistlines shown in both hip and full-length versions. The wrap is cut like a cape but indented at the waistline with either gathers or tucks. The top is wrapped to the body to give the wearer the enviable, if, perhaps, impractical, feeling of a movie star descending the curving staircase of the marble palace with all the lights on full.

New Fuel Oil Line To Pipe Reserves
"The new fuel oil pipe line will be completed as soon as warm dry weather sets in," C. G. Bayles, superintendent of buildings and grounds, said today.
The pipe line will run from a 225-gallon reserve tank at 19th and Michigan streets to the power house. The tank is filled with fuel oil and ready for use when the gas supply is cut off.
Started last spring, the pipe line now extends about half-way across the intra-mural sports field and has a new fence built around it.
