Designer Predicts
Peek-a-boo Dresses
For 1950 Fashions
HOLLYWOOD, — (tf5) —You can
turn the page, men. This shouldn’t
interest you. It’s just about a
fashion prediction lhat women
will be wearing skin tight under
wear beneath transparent dresses
in 1950.
(Go on noto men, turn the page.)
It’s film designer Eloise Jenssen
doing the predicting and she claims
with apparent seriousness, that
“fashion has been enslaved by
worpen’s underwear.”
Miss Jenssen, through an alert
press agent, announced her belief
tha* slinky, full figured tights for
winter and thigh-length shorties
for summer will replace panties,
step-ins, brassieres and girdles.
The tights, she avers, will be
in shades of shocking pink, jet
black and flesh tones. She goes on
to predict that peek-a-boo, trans
parent dresses—filmy and wispy—
will be worn over the fancy tights.
“Let’s face it, women’s under
wear is gosh-awful,” said the 23
year-old movie designer. “A stock
ing attached to a garter belt is |
revolting. Your contemporary wo- i
man with a dozen itsy-bitsy un- ,
mentionables is as much a martyr !
to s'yle dictates as grandma was i
to her painful corset. Skin tights
will free style from the fetters of
ridiculous, ugly underwear.”
With a climactic bit of logic,
Miss Jenssen says the one-piece
foundation garment she envisions
will make outer garments sec
ondary for the first time in fash
ion history.

page now.)
.“Alaska Now" On
I /
i Local Bookstands
I
Local bookstores are featuring
i this week, Herbert Hilscher’s new
book in Alaska, named, “Alaska
, Now.”
i Unlike most Alaskan authors,
Mr. Hilscher is a real Alaskan,
having arrived in Alaska at the
age of four years.
He has been very active in the
Fairbanks area, where he has been :
j manager of the successful ^annual J
winter carnival. He is Fourth Div
ision member of the Alaska De
velopment Board. As editor of
the Alaska Life Magazine for four
years, he became well acquainted
with the various aspects of life
in the Territory, as well as his
experiences with army during the
war.
In his book, “Alaska Now” he
paints a not too flattering pic
ture of the various communi ies,
and political set-up in Alaska, but
quite reasonably factual in the
main. |
