NEW YORK (CNS)- The new
ruling against players Of ex-
perience playing Latin American
baseball-unless they are natives

ruling as signed by Commission
er Ford Frick and the Latin
Leagues means that no American

below the border.

Floating back into fashion
is the f1lmy dress Of silk chif-
fon.
Designers are using the fab
rio in creating many lovely,
supple silhouettes.
Two designers. Cell Chap
man and Philip Hulitar are US
ing similar draped themes in
their evening dresses. Cell
titles her glamorous evening
silhouette 1.-THE Fatima" and
has borrowed sinuous harem
draperies and incorporated
them into really beautiful
lines.
Philip Hulitar's ancestry is
Greek. And his drapery is in
the flowing. soft manipulated
folds one sees on many ancient
statues.
The sheer fabric is used by
both to hide and yet reveal the
curves Of the figure by drawing
it in tiny folds across the boz
som. waist. and the hipline.
This full-length type even
ing gown proves perfect right
now for that fabulous New
Years Eve party, and it's ide-
ally suited for wear on your
winter vacation.
Whether in white or in a
mountaineering tropical color
like turquoise or coral, chiffon
is destined to be the favorite
fabric for the evening we
think.
One Of the jewelry .pieces
fascinating window shoppers
in New York right now is the
diamond and emerald ieweled
buckle created to match one of
the tiaras worn by the Empress
Josephine. Van Cleef and
Arpels acquired the tiara in
1854. The buckle was used to
emphasize the high waistline
that was popular in that fash
ion era. A current revival is
seen in the many dresses cut
along somewhat the same sill
houette today. Maybe the
jeweled buckle will find its way
into the jewel box again as an
important piece of jewelry, too.
