^ BUSINESS: Mark Mooring
prescribes simple gray flan

Save your glamor for after
dark.
This is the advice of Mark
Mooring, designer for one of
Fifth Avenue’s r^ost famous
shops, who has been dressing
some of New York’s best-dressed
.women for the last ten years.
^ Mr. Mooring, a Texas boy who
made good in the big city, di
vides his fall collection into two
distinct parts—for daytime, aus
tere little suits, discreetly tailor
ed; for evening, elegance that
evokes nosalgic memories of Lil
lian Russell.
The designer is a little worried
over the current hoopla about
dressing to the teeth this season.
He approves of the idea—after
five o’clock. But he doesn’t want
to see women running around in
sequins and ostrich plumes to do
the morning marketing. Says he:
< "Suits and plain hats are still
bast for daytime. Tha bast dress
ed woman are those who dress
appropriately in clothes suitable
to their activities. You wouldn't
for instance, wear a tea-gown
for a horseback ride. Neither
should you wear sports clothes
^to tea.
‘"The dress is only the begin
ning of any costume. Choosing
the correct accessories is much
more important. Any woman who
wants to be well-dressed must
plan her costumes as a whole, in
cluding every detail of hat, shoes,
gloves, handbag and jewelry.
^Then she 'will present an inte
grated picture to the world—not
a hodge-podg$a;of • afterthoughts:*’■■

The lovely legends of Christmas day.
the stories and the songs and the half fairy
lore that gathers around it; the ancient trad
ition of dusk woods and mystic rites;
the magnificence or simplicity of Christian
observance; the lighting of Christmas trees
and hanging up of stockings, the profuse giv
ing, the happy family meetings, the dinner,
the game, the dance — they are all the nat
ural signs and symbols, the flower and fruit,
of Christmas. For Christmas is the day of
days which declares the universal human
consciousness that peace on earth comes only
from good will to men.
