at the new clothes. and others are
quite as emphatic in saying that
back fullness will not be so im-
portant. at least for the time being,
but that the srnart silhouette will
continue to be that of a woman
standing with her back to the wind!
The truth is that in the new tash-
ions there will be room tor back
dates and trout flares and that the 1,
really only important thing is that
there must. be a dare oi some.sort.
