Cherie Nicholas notes a sum mer fashion trend as hand crochet outfits gain high fashion approval. Easy to make with basic supplies, the hats and bags feature turban shapes, star trimmed pill boxes, berets, Gibson sailors, pigtail calots, and lace trims, all in mercerized or rug yarn.
A smart frock in rough crepe Celanese rayon and silk uses a splash effect twist in the yarn for an uneven ripple surface. The design features a new accented hipline and aims at attractive appearance plus dependable wear.
Blouses feature the open-throat turn-back collar while dresses show very low V shapes. Necklines across styles trend toward low cuts this summer, whether square, rotund, or heartshape.
Cotton fabrics dominate summer fashion with crinkly seersucker suits and chambray gains. Striped chambray inspires monotone dresses with matching hat and bag. Bright yellow denim appears for play clothes while flowered chintz features in formal and casual dresses. Evening cottons showcase gingham party frocks and peasant skirts.
A new allover patterned cotton lace enters the fashion scene this summer. The fabric is described as practical for dresses redingotes and various summer ensembles including suits tailored from starched cotton lace in white or color.
Five-piece matchmate cottons offered nationwide include pajamas or slacks, shorts, bra-top, butcher-bey smock, and knee-deep cuat. Practical and attractive ensembles sold in stores across the country.

A frazzled dress shop clerk coping with a critical customer delivers a sharp jab. The prowling shopper compares frocks to skimpy garments, then declares flowing attire would suit her better. The clerk seizes the moment with the dry retort about trying the river.
Despite violent disturbance and nesting damage at St Pauls Cathedral and Trafalgar Square, pigeons remain plentiful in London. Gulls along the Thames embankment, starlings under city church eaves, and Cockney sparrows also stay. Evacuations in fall were habit driven, not fear. Migratory birds returned in spring regardless of bombs.
