Center, tube silhouette appears in By DOROTHY ROE AP Women's Editor NEW YORK, July 9 tfh-Fall fashions fit to a tunic, the and the torso. New York designers, preparing to unveil fall collections to the nation's fashion press next week, have a bag of new tricks. There's plenty-of silhouette news no doubt'inspired by the hoopla in Paris last spring. But American designers, as usual, have succeed- IfiBiii ed in modifying and adapting fashion shockers into wearable, flattering clothes. Though hip belts are standard in every collection, waistlines have not'been forgotten.

The slim, fluid look of the new silhouette is more flattering to most women than the nipped-in look of last year. Bustlines are with us, also-not unduly exaggerated but subtly curved and definitely feminine. Slim lines are almost universal for daytime, with the costume of sheath dress and coordinated jacket, or full-length coat, the one most important outfit of the new season. Jackets go to all lengths, from the briefest of boleros to long tubular coats, over slim matching skirts or dresses. The tunic silhouette also is prominent.

The flared tunic jacket looks new and elegant in dressy suits of fabulous woolens, often fur trimmed. For those like a more casual look, there are loose, boxy jackets, 4n various lengths. Adele Simpson's "little overcoat" cos- sheath of blonde and black satin with matching coat by Oleg CassinL The double-breasted tunic suit, right in grey wool ottoman is by Christian tunic, consisting of fingertip-length Dior. bulky jacket and matching sheath dress in sheer wool, promises to be one of those favorite country outfits of the year. The tubular look is everywhere, and so is the long-torso look.

But there are no shapeless sacks in the Mew York collections. Hemlines also makes news. Daytime skirt lengths are about the same or slightly shorter--mid-calf is considered right for most women. But for after-5 wear, hemlines are up to new tricks. Pauline "intermission length" for theater and dinner wear is about three inches above ankle, shown in sheath dresses or-costumes, often fur-bordered, that have, a new and dramatic look.

Ceil Chapman, famous for formal fashions, shows a 1955 version of the hobble skirt which she calls the "Castle Walk." This is a peg- top, draped sheath hugging the ankles in back, slit to the knee in front, 'and the newest looking thing in town for evening wear. She does it in fabulous fabrics such as heavy slipper satin and gold and silver lames. It seems to call for ostrich feathers and dangling earrings. Fur trimmings are important in every type of costume, from fur- lined casual jackets to the dressiest cocktail suits. The fur-collared or bordered cloth coat looks strictly new'and flattering this year-and the bigger the fur collar the better.

Mutation mink and sable add touches of opulence to dresses, coats and suits, and there is a revival of interest in fox. Satin, velvet, metallic brocades and woolens from every corner of the earth vie for fabric honors. ruction Dicks MRS. FRANK W.
