Topcoats Take To Shower-Proofing, With Brevity ~

-Topcoats for spring feature amooth lightweight fabrics, many shower-proofed. New spring rainwear adds durable press to many fashion models, ‘and jengths go to new highs. ‘Gabardines in all-worsted and blends of. polyester and worsted yarns enter for the vernal season, Popular colors Tange from natural tans through grays and olives to deep blues and blacks. -

- Split -raglans, full- raglans and some with set-in sleeves mark the shoulder treatments of these lightweight toppers.

:Hopsack weaves, very simi- lar to those so popular in suits, are also AMONG he new tap- coat fabrics. These feature ‘blends of many colors.

The sporting look in top coats is expressed in checks and plaids worked in light- welzht tweeds, cheviots and -shetlands,. while the dressy “business look” is found in smooth worsted suiting-type fabrics:

In the handsome new rain- ‘| coats, clear untinted grays are the latest fashion color. Fash- ion grays range from medium to light-medium in shade. London Ten, a -color intro- duced last year, has made rap- ‘| id_ strides, too, :

Plaids and checks offer fur-

WwW. “Bill” ‘Symington, ms '_ All told there are 15 on staff, including “Big Jim" McKeown, who says with.a gleam in his eye, “I guess you ‘could call me a staff member too — but I'm far from new around here.” “Big Jim” got his start in Terrace quite a few years -back when his business was centred largely around a cable-splicing enterprise.

"In those days — we did all our splicing by hand,” he says with just a slight tinge of nos- tagala, Then with a quick flick of his hand he pushes a lever on an unobtrusive machine and shows us how cables are spliced these days. “Big Jim’ is pleased to show you how all the thing- amabobs and doomahickies work in his large business es- tablishment.

But parhaps his greatest pride and joy is a large trans- sistorized door that operates on a remote control system. . «.

Like the buckle, the bow be- longs in_the current fashion hicture, There are flat leather or ribbon bows, large satin or silk bows—floppy or rigid, and every size and material be- tween, :

Besides instep straps and: T’s, there are asymmetric straps, wish- bones, halters, -even ankle Straps, Getting down to the “bare” facts, strapped. styles may expose the side of the foot, or the heel — or be com- pletely clased except for the instep area which the strap spans. oo

Straps in contrasting color or leather, often. repeated on the heel, gain popularity, ;

Sandals are at their elegant best, whether slated for street wear, partying or patio. Styles include closed toe and sling- back, closed back and open toe and casuals that are little more than leather sole and a strap or two. ; Leather ties up the casual shoe package with a fetching assortment of walking shoes, flats and other sporty foot- wear.
