Mannequins In
London Are In
Uniform Now
LONDON (U.R) — Londjn fash-
ion establishments have been hard
hit by the war and are anticipat-
ing even more difficult times
ahead.
There is a lack of skilled labor.
Many mannequins have deserted
the fashion salons of Bond street;
to cover their slinky hips with the
brown corduroy trousers of the
Women's Lanl Army. The stwift:
fingers ot seamsteresses are em-
ployed milking cows. |
The war also took many women
from the drawing rooms of Park
Lane and into national service
therefore into uniform. A cam-
paign has been jwaged to get the
women back into evening gowns,
but night clubs and restaurants
are still sprinkled Iwith girls who
prefer the stailorejd blue o,f the
W.R.E.N, or the khaki of the
A.T.S.
Finally London expects no nor-
mal "season" this year. The "
son" in London is in the summer,
because the weather is more kind
at that time to racing, the concert
stage and the theater.
This year there twill be no
Courts, on racing at Ascot, 110
Royal Garden Party and probably
few concerts. Large public gath-
erings are frowned upon by air
raid precaution authorities.
The theater probably (will con-
tinue its current boom but 'dress-
up" parties are not the rule, but
the exception.
Labor and women in uniform is
not the only problem confronting
fashion designers. Every inch of
available shipping space is de-
manded for the necessities of war
and so-called luxury products no
longer are imported.
Sequins for trimmings an,d other
accessories cannot be obtained.
Greater and greater quantities of
•■wool are needed for uniforms.
Eventually it may be necessary to
ration silk.
PRISON TO TRADE GOODS
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah <U.R)—
Wardens of the Utah Wyoming
and Nebraska penitentiaries have
worked out a project of exchange
of convict made goods. Utah wi'l
specialize in supplying the other
prisons with canned goods and
vegetables; Nebraska will go it*
for heavy clothing and matresses
while Wyoming will furnish bed-
ding equipment.
