(The Special News Service) Styles in women's clothing are being influenced far more than most persons realize by raw, undisguised, economic neces sity. Style experts ostensibly are doing business under the same old pretense that fashion caters to the vagaries and whimsies of woman's fancy but, as a matter of fact, fashion experts have a new job. Their new assignment is to make women like what they still can supply in the way of clothing.

That doesn't mean that new clothes are not attractive. They are and will continue to be so, fashion sources assure, but they do have definite features which are there because of economic necessity, not female whimsy. Here are a few of the changes in women's clothing, some already in effect, some not due until next spring or summer, in which the heavy hand of economic necessjty is plain to be seen. Shorter skirts Every woman knows that skirts are shorter. Every man who has watched his wife try on last year's dresses knows it too.

Maybe skirts are briefer because women have gotten tired of keeping their knees under cover. On the other hand, though, it might be in order to save cloth and cut ex-pensees in a period when supplies are none too plentiful and costs are rising. Simpler dresses: Perhaps the ladies have suddenly reverted to classic simplicity. On the other hand simpler styles save an appreciable amount of expensive cloth as much as a quarter of a yard in many cases and call for fewer metal and other ornaments, many of which are hard to obtain. Heavier fabrics: According to fashion advisers, heavier rayon and rayon mixed fabrics will be very popular next year.

Heavier mixed weaves will be used not only for suits and slacks but tailored dresses. Sheer rayon fabrics will take a back seat. Behind this style trend Is the fact that fine rayon yarns have become scarce because of defense priorities. Paler colors: Cloth manufacturers say that rayon, cotton and wool cloth next year will feature paler colors, white and natural hues. Rayon prints will be white or a pale shaded background.

Deep, full-colored backgrounds will be soft-pedaled. Dual fabrics and colors: YouH soon be noticing more coats, suits and dresses made of two different kinds of cloth or combining two or more colors. It's being done even in the most expensive clothes. But the idea originated, clothing sources say, in the lower price brackets where manufacturers tried it in order to- use up short lengths of cloth left over in cutting. cago, Dominic Bitetti, Rock Island, brother of the bride, and Anthony Renda of Des Moines, Frankie and Rose Ann Morrow of Des Moines, niece and nephew of the bridegroom-tlect will be ring bearer and flower girl, respectively.
