Plenty Good Room
In Fashion World
When the Spanish coutun
launched their first co-operativ<
fashion showing down in Madrk
a few weeks ago it focused inter
national attention on a new, un
explored fashion potential. Spai
has always been important as a
source o£ inspiration to American'
and Parisian fashion designers,
but the Spanish designers them
selves have never before at
tempted to market their wares In
the international fashion market.
Such familiar items of apparel
as sombrero, the bolero, the man
tilla, and now the matador trou
sers in lounge clothes owe their
existence and popularity in Amer
ica directly to the influence ol
Spain. So, if the American cou
turier is going to L ake annual
treks to thir Latin country, it is
only reasonable that th. Spanish
designer make his own niche in
the fashion market.
This venture, as frequently hap
pens with outstanding “firsts”, has
met with a number of criticisms
coming from the fashion report
ers and buyers who attended the
showings. The beautiful embroi
dery for which Spanish needle
women have long been famous
was reportedly used too lavishly.
Too much fabric, making the
styles impossible to reproduce by
American mass production meth
ods, and too much allegiance to
the past, such as bullfighter and
gypsy inspiration gave the clothes
a theatrical effect, were among
the opinions voiced.
Getting any major undertaking
started is hard. Our hat is off to
the House of Rodriguez and the
other four designers for making
the initial step. After all, no single
country has a monopoly on erea- !
tive ideas, nor on technical knew- 1
how. Just as other countries have
taken their places in the fashion
picture, we predict that Spain will
do likewise.
The fashion industry in Amer
ica as we know it now is a mere
50 years old, and it took a second
World War to really bring out its
! true color. England has virtually
‘ always been known for its ele
1 gantly tailored men’s wear, but
■ only recently has it received any
' recognition as a fashion center for
* j women.
i Italy as a fashion center Is even
more recent, for it has been only
within the last two years that it
has received any international
fashion attention. Now all three
1 countries take their places beside
' Paris, and the buyers and report
ers are equally anxious to see all
wares.
r Here in America the National
Association of Fashion and Acces
I sory Designers can take courage
from this step made by the Span
I ish Couture. Both should recog
s nize the fact that the fashion mar
j ket is not a static one.
( As long as there are women
there will be a need for new ideas
_ in clothes; for women will always
s enjoy wearing beautiful clothes
, and men will always enjoy seeing
them wear them.
, Yes, in the fashion fied there is
’ plenty of good room for fresh,
new ideas.

; Health in the School Box
By Betty Cook For ANP
1 Now that the children are back
• in school, let us be sure that their
» lunch is made up of health-giv
> ing foods. Raw fruits and vege
> tables, whole grain or enriched
f breads, cereal cookies, and other
wholesome sweets are storehouses
packed full of vitamins, minerals
and p roteins, all of which are im
portant to maintaining health. It
' is good to keep these things in
mind in packing the school lunch
| box. Here, then, are a few basic
rules to remember:
1. Make the sandwiches of
. whole-grain or enriched breads
I with moist, appetizing fillings that
, are high in protein. Here are a
. few suggestions: sliced boiled
I eggs, peanut butter, sliced cold
| meat loaf, tuna or salmon salad,
left-over meat salad, sliced liver -
, wurst or corned beef.
2. Include carrot or celery strips
or celery cut up in the sandwich
fillings frequently, because of
their vitamins and minerals.
3. Fruit also supplies vitamins
and minerals and should be in
cluded, preferably raw.
4. A drink made with milk
should be included, of course, be
cause of high mineral and vitamin
content.
5. Remember that sweets, such
as Raisin Bran Molasses Cookies*
or Bran Fruit Squares*, are not
only sure to make a hit with
youngsters butp rovide a welcome
and nutritious “sin-prise” feature.
So here are two recipes you will
surely want to try.
