Festival Recalls Fashion Changes Of l00Years Ago

By Muriel Narrsway Canadian Press staff Writer

IONDON. - (CF) Britain's women of fashion are wondering which of today's styles will be re- membered ss typical of festival of Britain year.

Will it be pagoda flare given to figure-fitting evening dresses by Digby Morton or the bel'-be.-iqued

r suits with long revers and nipped j waist popular with Stiebel? E haps it may be the fan-shaped'line

Per-

givcn to afternoon dresses Hardy Amies. of the line favored by Mattll.

Whatever the styles ear-marked for posterity, it is doubtful wheth- er t.hey- could compete in fame with the marked major changes in women's wear recorded at the time of the 1551 exhibition-first British Arts and Trades Fair and forerunner of this year's Festival of Britain.

For instance, 1851 saw the launching of Mrs. Amelia Bloom- er's campaign for trousers for women. Her "bloomers" were mere- ly 8 voluminous, knee-covering forecast of today's short bloomer panties used for both play suits and beach wear, but they startled the fashion world of that day.

Waistcoats Too

Although afar cry from the neat slacks of later years. bloom- ere heralded female encroachment on masculine fashions. Elegant Victorian women soon wore em- broidered waistcoats. until then the exclusive property of the young male dandy.

Although the waistcoat is back in the forefront of fashion. an in. tegral part of this -year's suit de- signs. women no longer invade male fashion-preserves to such a marked extent. with a wartime experience of man-tailored suits, short skirts and squared should- ers. women today tend to con- centrate on ferninity.

The present shoulderline is soft.

waist and peplu cm-hasized, skirt-line slender and accessories soft and charming with delicate Victorian touch. The present neat-waisted suits might be worn over the laced cor- sets of 1551. Tight lacing had gone for the moment and the exhibit- ion introduced front-laced corsets with fewer ivhalebones.

Todayis apron skirts with plain font and zathered back and the deep V necklines filled with chem- isette are both traceable to the fashions of 100 years ago.

The exhibition also marked a change in hairstyles. Side ringlets gave place to a severe swept-back coiffure with centre parting end looped bendeaux over the ears. Todayls women are just switching from the severity of the short-cut

by asymmetric-

to soft curls and chlgnons.

"Small Unimportant Things” Are Important In Marriage

A wife wants to know what is the niuttcr with a husband who lomes his tcmpcr over "small un- important things."

It sounds as though she is, per- haps looking at the situation from only one side-her side.

she calls the things that upset her husband and make him cross and irritable "small, unimportant things.”

But they must not be "small. unimportant things" to him. They must be pretty important to him to cause anger and criticism.

Maybe she would be wise to make a list of the "small unim- portant things" that have been

causing her husband to lose his temper. The list may surprise her. she

may find. for instance. that it is small. even though the blow-ups have been frequent.

And if she takes a long, open. minded look at the list. she may find that some one failing in her- self is the underlying factor in all of these minor causes for her hus- hsnd's irritation.

If so. she has found the snswer to her problem. If she will over- for the small annoyances. she can come the fault which is responsible rule them out of the picture.

And just a final word of warn. ing to all wives. Never regard as small and unimportant the things that make your husband irritable.

They are important to him, and for that reason, they should be im-

portant to you.

IMOTIONAL DISTURBANCI8 . RAISE BLOOD PRESSURE

A few years ago a boxer with a slight heir! murmur was passed regularly as at by the Boxing Com- mission physician because there were no symptoms such as breath- ieuness and no ' rgement of. the heart. His blood pressure was normal. One morning, on his way. to box in I city zoo miles distant"; his car overturned twice. as was

niedicai examiner's office at 2.00 P. M.. the physician was doubtful about allowing him to box that evening as his blood pressure was high. The boxer reminded the physician that he had boxed in other cities and probably his motor accident had caused his blood pressure to rise. The physician finally decided to let him box. but promised to be there to watch the bout and stop it if he thought it wise. The boxer was so nervous. from nearly being rejected. that he lost the decision.
