By Ruth Dean

Fashions with an international
flavor took the spotlight yester-
day at the style show sponsored
by the Washington Region OF
Women's American ORT at the
B'nai Israel Synagogue.
The show was different in that
it featured the designs of 16 and
18 year olds who had had no
previous training in sewing or
design until their enrolment in
the schools maintained by the
Organization for Rehabilitation
through Training.
Intricate embroidery and mi
mute tailoring details were out
standing features of the collec-
ton of costumes for daytime and
evening wear, which were flown
from Italy for their first showing
last month at the 25th annual
convention of Women's Ameri-
can ORT in New York. They got
their first Washington preview
yesterday.
"TheSe costumes represent
girls and boys, who but for the
ORT program, would be name
less non-entities on the stockpile
of human waste" Mrs. Albert E.
Smith, co-chairman of the FASH
ion Show, declared. At the end
Of World War II, there were
10000 refugees in the displaced
persons camps of Italy, Mrs

Smith explained, and into these
camps ORT took its training
program ito rekindle the desire
for living"
To-day, these boys and girls,
as a result of ORT training,
have been raised to a position
that is respected" she declared.
More than 100 ORT members
and guests, who included wives
of diplomats from countries
where ORT schools are estab-
lished, viewed the fashion dis
play.
A black dressmaker suit OF
rough Italian silk. with fitted
jacket and slim skirt. worn with
a beautifully hand-embroidered
sheer blouse. was the work of a
16-year-old student. Another ap-
plause-getter was-a navy blue silk
polka dot print that looked as
though it had been designed by
an experienced coutourier in
stead of a 19-year-old second
year student.
One lovely silk print redingote
dress was the handiwork of q
15-year-old boy. Also drawing
attention were several blouses,
intricately embroidered in Israel
inspired designs. and a strapless
playsuit ensemble with skirt and
bolero.
The fashion show, for which
Miss Phyllis Bell was commenta-

children's dresses, hand shocked
by ORT students in Jerusalem.

event, introduced the distin-
