My mother called a new doc

ambulance. I was frightened
almost to death. thought they
were going to take me to an
insane asylum.
They told me afterward that
on the way to the hospital I
broke away from the ambulance
twice, and once I hid in some
woods, and it tok the ambu-
lance men and several police
men more than three hours to
find me.
At the hospital they lanced
my hip and that pain i'm
proved, but in a few days I
was a wild woman, because my
nerves were screaming for my
dope, and my mother had to
take me home again.
AS soon as I got home I got
in touch with a woman who
sold me some Of my precious
snow. I kissed the package she
sold me. I knelt down on my
knees and prayed to it, like
poor demented woman.

I was just crazy enough to

Then out of a clear sky came

Such a dress would probably
have it's own iacket-one that
matches the skirt. And when
the jacket is worn, the costume
looks like a suit.
You can't tell from the pic,
lures whether the other two
dresses are skirts and over
blouSes or made in one piece.
Well-they might be either. If
you like a certain style but
want it in two pieces, you can
probably duplicate it in a one
piece dress.
The dress at the right illus
trates two things at least-the
use of the tWo-piece mode in a
sports type dress and the other
of a skirt with a jacket.
The dress at the left suggests
a short tunic oVerblouse, doesn't
it? 1t may be an overblouse.

NEW YORK-This spring
you're going to have a chance
to greet an old friend you
haven't seen for quite some
time. The two-piece dress.
And there's also a new kind
of dress-one that looks two
piece but is really one-piece-
that's just as much in fashion
as the real two-piece dress.
You're going to see this two
piece effect in all kinds of day
time dreSseS-street and gen.
eral wear dresses, sports dresses,
even in dressier afternoon types.
And they'll look like one Of
three things-either like a skirt
and short tunic blouse or a
skirt and jacket or like a skirt
and tuck-in blouse.
Some of these dresses that
look like a skirt and tuck-in
blouse actually are just that.
Others are really One-piece
dresses but made to look like a
blouse and skirt. And one IA
vorite way of doing this is
shown in the center sketch-a
dress with skirt Of one color
and bodice Of another shade.
