hanced the lovely possibilities, of
pure silk organza. The four tier
ed sleeves and balloon skirt was
flattering on Miss Watson's tall
loneliness. Marilyn Watson was
also seen IN net and lace gown
with Aura stole-like net collar
which covered the shoulders, and
fastened at the front under a
flower. An enormously full skirt
rose and blue net topped the full
taffeta slip. The square cut sa-
rhire blue jeWelry by Kramer
flashed the blue accent of the
net.
A Miami fashion by Alma
modelled by Mrs. c. c. Adell was
an outstanding number. OF black
polished cotton with gold de-
sign, it's two-way dress which
may be worn buttoned diagon-
ally down the front, or unbut-
toned to show the pink under
skirt with hide away pocket.
With matching stole, a perfect
party or cocktail dress.
1t would be impossible in any
available space to write about all
the models and all the dresses,
beautiful jewelry and hairstySes,
SO we are merely attempting to
give you a quick look at the most
outstanding
Il short intermission featured
two of our Arthur Murray in
structors Miss Jackson and Mr..
Rude who danced under ex-
tremely difficult conditions
around the pool-side to a stirring
tango.
One of the loveliest party
frocks shown was of polished
cotton. A strange intermixture,
not grey, not brown, and still
not taupe, rather like very
light creamed coffee. Strapless,
with petalled line across the
back. The front frosted with
scrolls of appliqued lace. Rrin-
cess style, dress for a. Belle,
and deserved to be worn by one.
This dress was also modelled by
petite Ann Barber, whose dark
beauty was enhanced by the
truly dazzeling white necklace of
flashing irridescence. Heavy as
is the fashion, its frosted beauty
|set off the stark simplicity OF
the dress. AIMS hairstyle by
Donald's was also unique and
beautiful. A light blond streak
accented the brunette CLEAN OF
her sleek couture which was
simply and rlainly combed back
10 huge chignon.
Florence Haupt modelled
fashion sweet and guaranteed to
charm white waffle pique. The
large collar and pockets extend
ing around the back Of the skirt
had a heavy lace edging. TINS
was truly the very essence OF
Spring. Jessie Michael wore
Doris Dodson Chartreuse linen,
iced with all-over embroidery.
This one could be worn proudly
from dawn till dark Beach
comber spiced it with hand
made white porcelain bead jew
elry,
The cutest event Of the whole
afternoon came when our high
school models appeared on the
arms Of their young escorts IN
their Prom clothes, June Yates
in d white embroidered eyelet
ballerina length formal over full
aqua taffeta slip. The very full
circle skirt had scalloped hem
line. The bolero length Jacket
was entirely edged in white lace.
Al necklace Of uniform cultured
rearls was Beachcombcr's seiec-
ton. June's escort in white DIM
ner jacket was James Baker, The
next Prom Belle was Ray Wrinkle
in a very sweet looking new or
candle date, graduation or
bridesmaids dress with all over
embroidered eyelet. II had the
round low scooped neckllne, yell
low taffeta slip and velvet sash
about the waist, The escort was
Bill Neblett, as was especially
noted by our NJ. c. Bob YOU
mans who likes to keep his fash
ION shows in the family.
Betty Cooper was chick in an
imported Swiss organdy with
ROYAL blue embroidered accent
about the neckline which made
the entire gown. This with tiny
drop sleeves. The full. full or
candy skirt over the full taffeta
underslip was charming. A beau
tiul dainty style for graduation
dance, especially when accom-
named by Billy Ousterhoudt.
The grand finale came when
Bob Youmans and Ramona
stampfl alfred in a lovely violet
colored Easter dress with match
inr hat sang Easter Parade,
and the last group OF models and
escorts strolied slowly around
the lovely turquoise pool as the
sun made long shadows behind
the cabanas,
