FASHION NOTEBOOK
An Austrian Beginning
Has an American End
By ELENI
Where a fashion begins and
ends is alwaya fascinating to
discover.
About a quarter of a century
ago in Salzburg, home of the
famous music festival, Sepp
Lanz opened a ahop that fea
tured colorful peasant cos
tumes with their delightful
bright fabrics and delicate em
broidery and handwork.
The women from all over the
world who visited Salzburg
took home these charming
Lanz designs. American wom
en were among the most en
chanted with the full dirndl
skirts, tiny wants, and the
flattering bodice lines of the
Lanz of Salzburg designs.
Back in 1932 an outlet shop
was opened in New York and
that date was the kickoff for
the popularity of the dirndl
In America, and other Sepp
Lanz’ creations.
The story of Lanz continues
with two brothers who came
from Bavaria and settled in
California. Brought up within
a hundred miles of Salzburg
the brothers were familiar with
the Tyrolean-Inspired clothes
and thought them charming
ideas for California’s casual
minded women.
They opened the second
Lanz shop in America.
In 1946 with the retirement
of Sepp Lanz. the two brothers.
Kurt and Werner Scharff,
launched their own designing
firm specializing in gay, young
clothes based on the old-world
Tyrolean folk styles. So now
the fashions that were bom in
Austria are finding themselves
raised in California and being
worn throughout the United
States.
This season's collection has
come to town and the cotton
prints from Austria, the
checked wool challls from
Switzerland, and the other
fabrics used to fashion the dis
tinctive young-looking styles
are even more delectable due
to the narrow self bindings,
perky bows, the rick-rack and
unusual button trims that are
on them.
•* * *
We saw a check list that one
of the stores put out as re
quired reading for back-to
schoolers. One really fine re
minder for the campus-bound
noted that going back to school
with a neat wardrobe also
meant that It would stay that
way if the student also took
along garment bags, shoe
bags/ boxes, hangers, hat boxes,
a laundry bag and mailing
cases if they’re necessary.
** * *
Back In those days that
some refer to as the good
old ones a big man on campus
was the guy with the rumble
seat car and a coonskin coat.
Times have changed since
the 20's. Now college boys
would like to sport a Jaguar
and a short coat of camel
colored wool to earn that big
man on campus accolade.
** * *
Here’s good news for par
ents worried about traffic and
their youngsters being out
after dark. A new fabric
woven with a new reflective
yam acta as a signal light.
When the direct beams of a
car’s headlights hit the fab
ric,'the light is reflected back
to its source and the wearer
becomes brilliantly visible.
Except, in direct rays of light
the fabric la Indistinguishable
from ordinary fabric.
Fashion Notes
From AH Over
FALL PARTY NOTE to be
filed away for a Thanksgiving
Day table decoration. At one
of the millinery showings the
tables were decorated with
bowls of autumn flowers with
autumn-colored satin ribbons
streaming from each side of
the bowl. Acorns and walnuts
were scotch-taped to the rib
bons. The effect... very festive
. . . and thought up by Bea
trice-Martin the milliner.

A widespread observance of
Constitution Week Septem
ber 17-23 is being planned
by the Daughter of the Amer

Mias Gertrude 8. Carraway, t
president general of the Na

stead of one day, for the study,
teaching and publicizing of
the provisions, principles and
advantages of the United
Btatea Constltuion.
In line with the DAR reso
lution, both houses of the
•United States Congress ap
proved a resolution in July
under which President Eisesn
hower is authorized and re
quested to designate the per
iod from September 17
through September 23, as Con
stitution Week, Miss Carraway
pointed out. This resolution
was introduced on Flag Day
by Senator Knowland, Repub
lican of California.
All 2.784 chapters of the
DAR are being urged to co
operate. The society has 180,-
000 members in this country
and abroad.
'Diversified programs will be
arranged for the various com
munities, many In co-operation

ernors of all the States and
mayors of a number of cities
have been asked to proclaim
Constitution Week.
