Paris Trend is For Natural Waislline In Winter Styles

By PEGGY MASSIN

PARIS tReutersl -- Paris fash- ion sliowings during the last week have established one facta this winter the fasliioiiablc waistline will be back in its nuriiial place.

The famous houses of Christian Dior and Balenciaga will give their verdict this week. But ltw- lngs so far have firmly established the waistline trend along with a series of others for the winter fashion sillititiette

Other new cont-cprittiis. as imit- cated in last week's showings. are; wider shoulders and detailed neck- line and sleeve treatments. Inter- est is centered at the top of the silhouette. and generally there is no belt.

Evening gowns for winter parties may vary from the slender tunic dress in some elaborate fabric. to the fuller skirted model with low decollete.

The Fath showing brought en- thusiastic applause from fashion buyers and writers as it brought forth the "column silhouette" - I name inspired by the columns of ancient Greek temples.

Like the Greek columns, the new Fath silhouette concentrates its or- namentation al the top to give full effect in swank restaurants. theat- res and other fashion showplaecs where the wearer is sitting down. Dresses ranged from it t r a i g ht sheatheit to a slightly wider. skirted "bell-shaped" shenthe whose bosom was emphasized with drap- ,ery. moulding and under-cut ef- fects. I WEARABLE SILHOEETTE

Madeleine de Rauch presented a wearable silhouette. with newest curve or dip slightly under the natural line behind. with blousing at the back of the bodice. and back interest in skirts.

The bustline is played up with ah-irring. draping and detailed cuts evolved from the neckline.

Madame Gres. an individualist. cares nothing for changing trends, but continues her unique and per- sonal signature. The clothes are shown without hats or jewelery.

fabrics that, while employing an untold number of yards. still fail close to the body. Colors are som- ber. with austere grays, browns and blacks.

Making your salad service look attractive is important. Eyc ap- peal creates taste appeal. Here are items most people like to have:

a harvest festival, a thanksgiving for the season's bounty. What is known in the Bible as a feast of in-gathering at the year's end. Lammas, really, is our older Thanksgiving Day. a custom known and faithfully observed by clergy and people centuries before the Pilgrims changed their Thanks- giving to the later date. In Britain the seasons come earlier than with us, but August reminds us that Autumn is on its way with now and then a bejeweled cobweb in the garden. Thoreau calls the

cobwebs "little napkins of the fairies spread on the grass." What an eye he had for seeing things. How great an understanding for what he saw.

Bart- onla. stocks and Snapdragon were transplanted from boxes sown early. Glads. and Dahllas are be- glrning and the long nnnual border is edged with sweet alyssum. This promises to be a good experiment and will give much color and flowers for cutting. In the peren- nial bordcrsvit was difficult to find room for annuals except along the outer edge. In sowing thet seed where it is to grow and bloom, much work is eliminated. The weather has been ideal for gardens lately and seed is still being sown of fast growing annuals and biennials for next year. The: moisture is so abundant that the; growth amazes me. The gerniiiumt slips grown in old tin cans have been planted here and there throughout the garden. No matter how many are grown there are never enough in a large garden. It is wonderful to have large planta covered with scarlet flowers to move into a drab spot where color is desperately needed when some occasion requires the garden to be looking its best.

This lily does very well in a shady part of the garden and can be divided so now there are dozens of large clumps. They are planted here in
