your top has a bow at the

SEAMS TO NE
By PATRICIA SCOTT
It's Not Too Hard to Mix
Patterns for q Perfect Fit

A few weeks ago, I decided
to make myself a very spe-
cial, very simple cocktail
dress. I knew the fabric and
style I wanted and it HAD
to say elegance"
So, of I went full speed
ahead, and started blowing
through pattern books. Then
came the blow. I couldn't
find a pattern that family
resembled the style I had in
mind or even one suitable
for the two fabrics I planned
to use. So, I bought two pat
terns-a dress with the top
I liked and a skirt pattern
and combined them. I
made the top in black silk
mat jersey and the skirt in
smoke grey ,ombre chiffon.
The only accessory was a
belt covered in the jersey.
At one time or another,
I'm sure all of you have run
into this problem and have
pocketed your inspiration
and given UP. Actually, COM
bining patterns is not diff
11cult and you'll find it great
fun designing" your clothes.
This is especially true if you
have a minor figure problem
such as hips larger than they
should be for your other
proportions.
In this case, you can use
a top and a skirt in two diff
ferent size patterns, giving
you a perfect fit. You can
take the top of one dress and

fabrics and colors. Combine
different fabrics - blend,
rather than match colors.
My dress would have looked
divine in soft pink jersey
with hot pink chiffon for
more formal wear.
BY using exciting fabric
and color combinations your
clothes can have the look of
Paris and Rome. Take ad-
vantage of your sewing abil-
ity and the style sense
you've acquired in making
your own clothes. Try it once
and I'm sure you'll do it
often-for fun rather than
out of necessity.

In his appraisal, Mr.. Holland
offers these additional impress
sions (Which, he stresses, are

!. Republican inroads in the
South will not be as great as
the Nixon people hope, and no
more than four Southern
States will go Republican.

8. Michigan will 60 for Ken
nedy despite substantial Nixon
gains there in recent days. But
Illinois. because of the down.
state Republican strength and
the religious issue, seems in
clined to Nixon"
MIR. Holla nd adds this
thought:
"The big question as we ar
rive at the election is this: Did
the Kennedy surge, which be-
came obvious two or three
weeks ago and which the Nixon
people are now admitting, build
up an advantage which the
G. o. p. cannot surmount? Mr.
Nixon has made some gains in
the last few weeks. And he has
said that it is the last two OF
three weeks that count. But
some Of his close advisers are
deeply worried that his timing
was of this time"
Kennedy Shows Zest
Mr.. Broder has been particu-
larly struck with the sense OF
ebullience Senator Kennedy is
demonstrating despite the pace
and tension of campaigning
He reports:
Kennedy is working very
hard, with very little sleep, but
he does it with zest rather than
q sense Of being forced into it.
His speeches are running longer
he is pressing his staff to sched-
ule more and more. At the
moment he appears to feel he
could lick his weight in Wild
cats. Also, it used to be that
a Kennedy speech was a non
stop monologue delivered at
breakneck speed. Now he is
communicating with his audi
ences and getting response from
them.
ALSO. he has managed to
keep the focus on his basic
theme: That America must dc
more, must do better. And in
so doing he has managed to
put Nixon in the position OF
appearing to defend the status
quo"
Foreign Issue Important
Mr.. Broder feels that the
economic decline of recent
months has probably helped
Senator Kennedy slightly, par
ticularly among Negro voters
and in depressed areas. But
the big breakthrough for Ken
nedy came, he feels, on the
foreign affairs issue.
"The Senator has," he goes
on. won great support, I be-
lieve, by identifying himself as
a realist on worl affairs and
putting Nixon on the defensive.
Early in the campaign I would
have said Kennedy had failed
to shake the natural compla-
cency and optimism of the
American people. Now he has
