Chic Knits Are a Way of Life
By HELEN HENNESSY
NEA Women's Editor
NEW YORK—(NEA)—De
signer Gianni Ferri gave up
creating high fashion in his
native Italy and turned to
’cnitwear.
“Haute couture is on the
way out,” he said. “Women
toaay are not comfortable in
dresses that cost a big lot of
money.
“They worry all the time
about making dirty the dress
and so they don’t enjoy the
evening.”
After leaving the high
fashion area, Gianni spent
seven years designing for
Maglificio Italiano, one of
the largest exporters of knit
wear in Italy. He designed
two collections a year for
them, 400 pieces in each.
Now he has come to New
York and created his first
American knitwear collec
tion for Banff.
Ferri doesn’t like Paris.
“It’s dead.” He thinks New
York is the most exciting
city m the world and says he
got many ideas for his cur
rent collection in Greenwich
Village instead of from Italy
or Paris.
This young designer has
faith in knits as away of
life. He knows many women
who didn’t believe in them
until they wore them and
now have knit wardrobes.
“Knits can be high fashion
but they are also functional
and easy to clean—no press
ing and always ready to
wear.”
For Fall ’69 he has created
a collection of unconserva
tive knitted clothes which
will enable women to wear
knits for every occasion.
Pants, he feels, are becom
ing more and more impor
tant and he has designed
j umpsuits, dresses over

It’s How You Don’t Play the Game
By BETTY CANARY
These are difficult times for those who blanch at the
thought of any activity more strenuous than beating others
in a race to the hammock. At this time of year, malevolent
forces gather, determined to include you in a fast game of
tennis. Benevolent neighbors, always the first with what
ever game the discount store is pushing (this year it’s bocci
or lawn bowling), struggle to include you in team sports
“for your own good.”
Getting Out of It is a game in itself (some play an
offensive game while others use defensive tactics) and
those actively engaged in this sport have shown great
ingenuity in winning out against almost inconceivable odds.
While I do not wish to detract from their victories, I
maintain that, although clever, crutches, back braces and
imitation plaster casts do have limitations. With the use
of such devices, life can soon become a mesh of lies.
Not that I am against telling lies. After saying. “No,
thank you,” to a nice sweaty game of volleyball and
twisting out of the iron grip of players (I must say volley
ball players have terrific handclasps), there’s not much
else left but to lie.
I do suggest that plausible lies do very little good and
tend to merely set you up later for a game of badminton.
After all, broken legs and arms heal; gallbladder attacks
either cease or an operation cures you for ALL TIME.
Remarking how your doctor advises against team games

For Lovelier Locks
Every woman needs two
kinds of social security: the
financial kind and the per
sonal kind. Personal “social
security” is the assurance
of good grooming to meet alt
social situations. And faithful
“deposits,” in terms of daily
baths and beauty treat
ments, will pay off in “bene
fits” of lovelier looks.

dresses, three-piece suits

are here to stay but likes the
maxi coat for cold weather.
As well as being a talented
designer, as his Banff collec
tion proves, Gianni Ferri is
delightful to talk with. And
in his conscious effort to
net usually calls for proof and necessitates falling to the
ground with stunning force, then staying there long enough
for the ants and gnats to set you to twitching convulsively.
Those who have used this method of Getting Out of It say
volleyball is easier.
All in all, the Implausible Lie is the best. Some for use
during future games encounters are:
“C’mon, just one game?”
“Sorry. NASA said after that last dose of radiation I'd
have to stay out of the sun.”
“Are you too lazy for bocci?”
“Well! If YOU don’t believe what Freud said about
bocci players, I DO.”
“WHY won’t you play volleyball?”
“I’d love to but, confidentially, every time I jump, IT
falls off.”
Workable lies for all-around use include:
“Frankly, the Secret Service won’t let me.”
“My guru commands no activities this month—except,
of course, eating my daily peck of avocados.”
“Gee, I’m too tired. If ONLY I could get a night nurse
for my sick gnu.”

Home Hints
Carpets Without Static
Are you easily shocked?
Well, here’s good news for
you. The old bugaboo of
static electricity in your
carpets has been grounded
with a new technique of run
ning stainless-steel fibers
through the yarn which are
indistinguishable in the fin
ished carpet. Another ad
vantage resulting from re
duced generation of static is
the carpet doesn't attract or
hold airborne dust to the
same degree as ordinary
carpet. It's easier to vacuum
and shampoo. It also in
creases the wear-life because
abrasive particles are not
ground into the face fibers
where they cut and damage
them.

IN MEMORIAM
In memory of our beloved
mother, Mrs. Ada P. Shivers,
who passed away six years
ago today, June 17, 1963.
Mother, God took you away
six years ago today,
But your beautiful memory is
here to stay.
We miss going home and
seeing you in the door,
To greet us with love like
always before.
There in Heaven you are
happy we know,
With all your loved ones
whom you love so.
The blow was hard, the
shock severe.
We little thought your death
was so near.
And only those who have
lost can tell,
The pain of parting without
farewell
Some day we will meet to
never say goodbye,
Where we will all live
together beyond the sky.
Sadly missed by
