Dress Transition Features
tonger Skirts, Says Specialist
“Longer skirts—which wi.l get longer—are one indication oi a cur.
rent transition period in women’s fashion,” said Miss Doris Myers, vis.
iting professor cf bonne economics from Carnegie Institute of Tech
notogy.
Miss Myers has no consolation to offer “praatioally IQO percent
M the College men” who, according to a recent Summer Collegian ar
ticle, are protesting the lengthen- •
ing-skirt trend.
“Skirts will reach a length of
12 to 14 inches from the floor,”
she predicted. (Three to six
[inches lower that coeds’ skirts
last year.)
More Feminine
Fall skirts will be fuller and
more feminine in contour, ac
cording to Miss Myers, with
pleats, bustles, and other effects
of skirt fullness featured.
Interviewed in the clothing
laboratory, 112 Home Economics,
the instructor had magazine clip
pings handy to illustrate the new
silhouette. She pointed out the
models’ recently popular broad
shoulders, narrow waist, and nar
row skirt. , . .
“Since 1900 the cycle has been
at-the tubular form, recently var
ied by heavily padded shoulders
msVing an inverted triangle ef
fect, flattering to most women’s
figures.
“Cycles usually last about 85
years,” she explained, “but the
wartime regulations on yardage
helped lengthen this cycle.”
Bell Shape Returns
The new cycle being ushered
in will highlight a bell-shaped
silhouette producing a broad tn-
Sloop Speaks
To Workshop
“Christianized education holds
the secret of world peace,” Dr.
Mary Sloop, director of Crossnore
Inc. of Crossnore, N. C., told edu
cators attending the special Penn
sylvania Workshop lecture this
“Whether or not religion, as
such, is taught in our schools,”
Dr. Sloop said, “we must give our
children character as well as edu
cation by teaching them the prin
ciples of ti»e Bible.”
Dr. Sloop explained that she
took up her work in the moun
tains of North Carolina to give an
education to people who “would
have been remarkable if they had
been educated.”
Dr. Sloop attributes her success
in winning over these mountain
people to the surgery that she and
her husband, both medical doc
tors, performed. After they had
been won over to the idea of bet
tering their living conditions, Dr.
Sloop said, these people never
tired of giving any material they
owned or their labor to the young
couple who had come into their
midst to organize a school, a hos
pital, sewing classes, and to lead
them to more wholesome lives.

THE SUMMER
angle with the base at the hem of
the skirt and the point at the
neckline, according to the stylist.
“Shoulders will be rounded,
not padded, giving softer lines.
Acceptance of unpadded should
ers will depend, of course, on the
individual woman’s figure,” Miss
Myers said.
“Although many custom-made
fashions still come from Paris,
the United States is now the lead
er in ready-to-wear styles. The
advantage of living in a demo
cratic society is that our method
of production has made a variety
of fashions available to all wo
men, giving her the emotional
satisfaction of being fashion-wise
and budget-wise,” she concluded.
