CHRISTMAS SUGGESTIONS
Accessories for the 1940 fall and winter season will emphasize subtle
good taste. Scarfs, jewelry, gloves, belts, bags, etc., all will lend touches
of refinement to the costume. Scarfs of the shawl type, of light woolen,
material in large triangles, with fringed edges, are-newest. In jewelry,
gold in dainty multi-colored designs will lead the parade. Pearls are
also popular. Discreet designs prevailing in gloves with appliques of
self-color leather on suede or fabric are high in favor. Handbags will
be seen in a w’ide variety of leather while broadcloth fabrics are the
newest arrival in bag material. Tailored types of belts in thinner widths
—often with some novelty idea in buckle or fastening—will be in good
taste.
