NEW YORK — (NEA) —Once
again the curtain rings down on
the most celebrated fashion show
In the -world — the Paris haute
couture collections for spring.
And, once again, there was little
news in the designs shown.
Space-age costumes and the
chain-mail image were gone.
But they were also conspicuous
by their absence in the New
York corture showings a few
months ago.
Women will look like women
once more — even like clinging
vines. Softness, curves, the na
tural waist and fluttery skirts

PARIS SETS THE PACE FOR SPRING—soft femininity. From Pierre Balmain (left) comes the return to fitted
jackets. Called “Fillbustier,” the fashion is styled with a long, straight skirt. Girard Pipart for Nina Ricci offers the
slender navy coat (center) cinched with a wide webbed belt and adds a striped jersey dress. The dress shows the
trend to the long torso look with pleated skirt. From the Lanvin collection is the sleeveless, belted top (right) over
a ribbed turtleneck sweater and striped skirt. Several strands of necklaces add a new note to daytime wear.

POLLY’S POINTERS
DEAR POLLY — We recently
bought a king-sized bed and de
cided that an electric blanket
would be cheaper than several
blankets of that large size. Af
ter shopping around, we discov
ered that it would be less expen
sive to purchase two twin-sized
electric blankets than one king
sized one. I sewed them toge
ther and we now have a king
sized blanket with dual controls.
DEAR POLLY — Our kit
chen table used to stand close to
the wall and as a result there
are grease marks on the wood
paneling. Perhaps someone kn
ows how I can remove these st
ains. — MRS. M.W. Sr.
DEAR POLLY — I enjoy
reading the Pointers in your

But fashion news they did not

der phonograph records. There
are thousands of these around
and only very certain ones are
desired by collectors. Swarms
of people buy these old records
but pay little for them. Most old
78s are not worth anything ex
cept wha tyou can get for them.
Many junk shops sell them for
about a dime each. Among all
the accumulators, there are
some actual collectors going af
ter rare records and some of
these rare ones do bring good
prices. It is a needle-in-the-hay
stack affair and record collect
ing is so esoteric that there just
cannot be any guidelines for the
outsiders. — WILLIAM
DEAR READERS — A large
dealer in old records told me
that Harry Lauder records do
not sell at all. On the average,
they pay about a quarter each
for Caruso records. If one has a
great quantity that could amount
to something, you might look In

antiques magazines. There is al
ways the chance of an exception

In memory of my dear

Sr., who passed away April 1,
1965.
It’s been three long lone

wisdom, called yon home.
A precious one is gone but
not forgotten. You were al

tent, thoughtful and kind. A
voice I loved is still but in
my heart your memory lives.
A vacant chair and place at
the table can never be filled.
Sadly missed by your wife.

Confusion', Isn't It?
Jj, By BETTY CANARY
“There I was, on the highway of life,” my
friend Herman said, “and the middle of the
road disappeared.”
“How’s that?” I asked.
“As a young man I always said I was a
middle-of-the-roader,” he said. “I wasn’t
a member of the Old Guard nor could you
have called me a Parlor Pink.”
“This isn’t possible any more?”
“No, and, as a matter of fact, I’m so con
fused now I don’t know what I don’t belong
to, but I call myself a member-at-large in
the antiestablishment establishment."
“You mean you want to go on record as
being dissatisfied with the status quo?”
“Who is Status Quo? See, I never can keep
up with all this! Did he replace Ho Chi Minh?
“Calm yourself,” I said. “Am I right in
assuming you are having difficulty under
standing the war in Vietnam?”
“That’s part of it."
“What would you say your position was?"
“You could say I feel I’m a Dead Duck
being torn between the Hawks and the Doves.
But that isn’t the only thing . .
“Tell me."

because I read where psychologists say I’m

FASHION TIPS
Well in Fashion
Small bags opening two and
three ways into separate com
partments, bright Bonnie
berets, vivid felt Clyde
fedoras as well as the Aussie
and sombrero, to tie under the
chin or not, are well in
fashion. “Jewels” of wood,
bamboo or mock tortoise will
be gracing wrists, earlobes
and the necklines of dresses.
