Her clothes became matters of first importance. Her evening clothes presented another problem, since they had to be of light color and fabric to serve as eifective foils for the decorations and orders she must wear. Moreover, she faced figure problems, as every woman does, riers was shortness of stature. The fashion demands of her position had to be grafted on the demands of her silhouette. The Queen Blossoms Out Working with one of London's leading dressmakers she took up the difficult problem and so began the development and evolution of the wardrobe of a queen.

Soft powder blues, lilacs, grays and dusty rose supplemented the beige she had worn so much before. Flounces and draped effects gave way to simple smart cuts. Fluffy fox collars were pruned away to reveal that short graceful curve of her throat, and the ful was placed on other parts of her costumes to retain the richness they demand. Sharply rolled hat brims gave way to those which swept back with new chic and grace, and jeweled clips supplemented her necklace of pearls. Gradually a new "Elizabethan mode" evolved, but not one costume sacrificed the personality of a woman who was feminine to the crown of her head.

Then came the royal visit to Paris in July, 193S, when the queen captured even the fashion fancy of the French.

Modified Bustle lile Hints At New Silhouette By ADELAIDE KERR (AP Fashion Editor) A new "peacock mode" is being discussed in New York'as a possible important trend in fall fashions. Modified bustle effects and. back skirt uUness have been labelled "something to watch" by the fashion world.

Among these designers'is Sally Milgrim, couturiere to a number Manhattan sophisticates, who has designed her new evening dresses with hip drapings and bustle bows and her midseason day dresses with back skirt fullness. Such frocks, concentrating interest at the back of the skirt and giving the effect of careful design i and fit, will produce a new. mode i of elegance, she pea- mode in which women may strut a bit." Though it is too early for definite fall predictions e'itber as to line or color, more evidence of the peacock trend may appear, she thinks, in a green blue (softened and muted version, of the peacock's a dress i hue to contrast with brown furs. i Among summer dresses which 1 the designer has created with the new back influence, is a street- length black chiffon cocktail-dinner dress fashioned with a knife- pleated skirt and a top rounding upward like an apron at the back where it is caught with a big black chiffon bow. It was worn at a recent luncheon fashion I show with a toque covered with rich red roses.

The back influence appears again in an evening gown, whose skirt, alternating narjow rows of black and white mlenciennes lace, is fashioned to fan on "easy" lines in front- but sweep into quaint gathered fulness in the back. Its black faille.top extending to the hipbones, ends in a bustle bow. Bustle bows are. the Effects most often used by designers at present to indicate the new'interest in the back of dresses, but other effects appear. Fitted jackets of silk suits are designed'with brief psplum tails that flare-smartly behind.
