Backs Education Aid
He also backed tax deduc-

The Defense Education Act
he said, should be amended tc
provide Government guaran-

provides funds for classroom

PARIS, July 26.-Guy La
roche brought back every
thing today but the Charles
ton.
His ow-belted waistlesS
sheaths (silk crepe or bead
ed, cloche hats. duck-tail
shingles and spit curls
sharply evoked the f1apper
era as well as the 1930S.
There was one important
difference. Knees were COW
cred by a good inch or two.
Sailor Ties
Laroche has jumped over
board for sailor ties and loose
MILDLY tops. His typical sill
houette is a flattened tube
which is practically bustleSs,
WaistlesS and hipleSs - but
somehow SeXy.
The DESIGNERS must have
learned a thing or two since
the times they copy, for the
new creations are never saggy
and formless. They are,
however, strictly for slim,
trim figures.
An off-side jabot drape
that Laroche uses is pure
1880. From the same period
come bands of beaded edging.
The most repeated numbers
in his show are two-piece
dresses with loose MILDLY tops
and three-plece suits with
MILDLY blouse in matching
material under the jacket.
Most skirts are straight and
slim.
Clutch coats with turnover
collars are reversible and just
miss being capes. Some are
tWo-toned. scanned at the hip
with contrasting material
for the top. For instance,
a gray skirted coat had an
orange and gray plaid top.
Plaid Trims
Plaid trimmings appear on
many models, and plain color
envelopes are lined with plaid
to show at the wrapover.
Orange has always been La
roche's signature color, and
this time he uses just enough
to tighten a black, brown and
steel gray collection. Some
purple appears, too.
There is a sailors knot
tie on the tummy of a red
silk crepe untitled sheath.
The same adornment turns
up on the derriere of another
cocktail dress. There are
Slim -skirted shirt dresses
with four flap pockets and a
belt at the natural waiStline.
Laroche goes in for leather
cloche hats with tiny rolled
brims and leather cravats.
