Glamorous garments aglow
with glitter were paraded before

er Montgomery County Chapter
of HadaSsah last week as a
climax to the annual III Week
Membership Drive. The trunk
showing of styles designed and
made by Israeli students took
place during a membership meet.
ing at Montgomery Hills Junior
High School.
Marjabelle Young, the areas
first lady of fashion, commented
as Hadassah members modelled
the wide variety of hand-woven
outfits. Wide stoles (heavily
fringed in bright color combina-
tions), flying panels and elegant
evening coats created the most
comment.
Edna Roistacher was all ready
for cocktails in her navy blue
satin coat covered with a huge
gold floral print. Beneath it was
a strapless navy satin dress de-
signed with the new bell-shaped
harem skirt and a huge bow in
back.
Teenagers would have gone for
Marcia Felder's navy hand-loom-
ed cardigan jacket or the CHINA
mon-black striped lounging set
worn by Shirley Fig. The latter
featured a slashed neckline,
sleeves and trousers for easy
moving.
Stunning is the only adjective
to describe the voluminous bur
gundy theater coat worn over a
matching taffeta sheath by
Blanche Glickman.
Wool woven into shantung pro-
vided fabric news in Sara Freid-
mans black and white halter
cocktail sheath and boxy jacket.
Bette Fig, always a cutie in
whatever she wears was pretty
stay-at-home in white wool jer-
sey tapered Longing paiamas
trimmed in gold.
The best was saved for last
as exotic Airline Gordon closed
the show in a short formal of
champagne slipper satin decorat-
ed with embroidered golden
stalks of wheat, peoples and corn

and henline
