Jeri Holmes Stop worrying
about paying for excess luggage.
Wear your wardrobe on your
back.
This dynamic designer, for
mer teacher. model. buyer of
coats and suits, and q fabric
creator, gave us a woman
show Of her new line. Using a
clothes rack and modelling
herself, she succeeded in bring
ing down the house with her
casual design concepts Of
elegant clothes for working
women. Today that's just about
all women.
These women are frequently
frustrated designers at heart,
she feels. With her basic jumper
sheaths, box jackets, boleros
edged with white fur, skirts and
jackets, sheath coats, you can
create your own personal kind.
Of wardrobe. It's easy since the
basic dresses and other designs
are available in linen, jersey,
donegal tweed, checked wool,
and hopsacking fabrics. The diff
ferent look a similar style can
take on when made up in varied
fabrics is something unbeliev-
able. From Jeri Holmes come
California colors like pink. lilac,
coral, blue. lime, shocking, tur-
quoise, gold, plenty of white
teamed with other colors, and
lots of orange.
More about Jeri when she
visits Washington soon.
Citrus Colors
The citrus color clicks
throughout in many of the SUM-
shine fashions we're seeing. So
does coral. A costume designed
by Spectator of a mandarin
orange moygashel linen sheath
dress with a jacket lined in
striped silk was quite effective.
Do a fashion check on the
blazer look. It's a cruise delight.
Not only is it beautiful in white
doeskin with navy piping on the
shaped loose jacket but it looks
good, too, in a blazer type suit
variation with a vest.
Out here they are showing a
new Italian fabric called POM
ezia that is wrinkle-proof. Also
lots of cotton tablecloth checks.
A resort fashion destined for

Maryland House Votes
For More Home Rule
by the Assoeioted Press

ANNAPOLIS. Feb. 20.-State
Senators are to be asked again
to release Maryland municipal
officials from the necessity of
running to them for almost every
little local law.
The House yesterday passed,
with only one dissenting vote by
Delegate Reed, Republican, of
AIlegany, a bill setting up more
home rule. It would be &C
complished by classifying cities
into four groups according to
population and permitting the
legislature to pass a law relat-
ing only to one or more of the
classes.
The same bill was introduced
in the Senate last year. The
Senate recommended it be given
more study by the Legislative
Council but nothing came out Of
it for this session.
It has been estimated that the
number Of bills at the General
Assembly would drop off 20 per
cent ifNthe home rule bill were
enacted. It would make unnec-
essary decisions by the General
Assembly. for instance, whether
"the mayor Of a given town
should own $500 or 1000 worth
Of property as. q qualification for
