Miss Reeder and
Lt. Bala speak Vows
Colonel and Mrs. William
a Reeder of Langley AFB, Vir
ginia, announce the marriage of
their daughter, Susan, to Lt.
Walter Andrew Bala, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Walter F, Bala of
Riverside, Illinois. The cere

Fashion Takes On
New Dimension
In California couture collections, spring’s ele
gantly ladylike fashions take on a new dimension.
For daytime, the ensemble’s the thing . . . and
dress plus jacket costumes are in the forefront of
fashion. Silhouettes are soft and fluid. Jackets are
either long and belted or cropped to show a wide
belt on the softly shaped dress underneath.
Where there is fullness, it’s controlled. Where
there are pleats for movement and flare, they are
inverted and soft rather than razor-sharp. Hem
lines are pegged at a ladylike level: at the top of
the knee to a few inches above.
The subtle silhouettes naturally focus interest
on the fabrics—and especially those with extra di
mension. Cotton, the fabric of a thousand faces,
rises to the occasion with surfaces that are ribbed
or nubby . . . puckered or tweedy . . . waffled or
sculptured. Prints-on-textures add further interest
in the form of eye-pleasing plaids and checks, flor
als, abstracts, and geometries.
What it all adds up to are spring costumes that
are pretty, feminine, and flattering —a look the
ladies like and the men applaud.
The couple left Immediately for a
honeymoon in Williamsburg,.Va.
The bride is a Junior at the
Illinois Institute of Technology.
Lt. Bala is a graduate of the
Illinois Institute of Technology
with a B,S degree. At present,
Lt. Bala is in Aviation training
in the Air Force at Langley
AFB, Del Rio, Texas. Mrs.
Reeder is the granddaughter of
Mrs. F. P. Davis, Sr., Blakely.
