Lovely Luxury Fabrics
Are Staging q Comeback
BY PATRICIA SCOTT

Luxury fabrics are coming
back with a loud roar this
year. You'll see cocktail and
evening clothes in fabrics
ranging from sheerest chif-
fon to the heaviest gold en-
cTusted brocades. Laces with
gold metallic threads in She
design or else plain are both
In fashion.
If you're planning to make
a lace dress, these suggeS-
tions may help you achieve
that elegant look you want.
Pressing: Place material
right side down, and press
over heavy padding. Several
thicknesses Of Turkish towel
ing will do.
Fitting: Baste garment
together for fitting. Pins
will fall through lacey design
as fast as you put them in.
Innings and facings: Never
Use self facing. Instead Use
tulle or marquisette to retain
sheerness. For lining. use
taffeta. If lining entire dress,
treat lining and lace as one
piece. II dress has full skirt,
only join two fabrics at
waistline seam and leave side
seams free.
Wherever possible. use self
edge of lace if it has a seal
loped border. For instance,
Scooped neck and skirt bot
tom edge.
Baste each section to tissue
paper before machine stitch
ing. Use medium length
stitch 10-16 stitches per
inch). extra fine needle, and
No. 90 and No. 900 silk
thread.
Since lace is narrow, you'll
have to piece the skirt If 1t is
a full circle. Instead of max
ing a plain seam to sew piece
to skirt. applique sections to-
gether. To do this, overlap
two sections so design
matches perfectly. You'll
waste little lace this way,
but it's worth it. Basic pieces
together: then using an over
casting overhanding, or blan-
ket stitch, applique with fine
close stitches, following out

Fears Often Unfounded

1t worked. Nobody looks dig
nified or formidable in that
state. And the man was, of
course and you guessed it,
President Dwight D. Eisen-
hover.
There is a valid premise
underlying this story. Many
of us have a tendency to
think of other people as be-
ing more talented or secure
or knowledgeable than we
are. But chances are that
they may feel as inept and
insecure as we do.
The image we carry Of them
in our minds is unreal, and
in this we block our own
charm from coming to the
surface.
The List
The list of fears that peo-
pie can have is a long one.
Fear of the unknown, fear
of pain, fear of financial loss,
fear of unpleasantness, fear
of unpopularity, fear of
heights, depths, crowds, open
air, subways, streetcarS and
the common cold.
often, professional help is
required to dig them out and
get rid of them because they
are so deeply imbedded in
the unconscious. But much of
the time the core can be dis
cerned by the person him.
self and the fear uprooted
and cast out.
A friend of mine once
had an almost impossible
fear of riding in subway
trains. He had just about
reached the point where he
had to give up his job be-
cause he couldn't face the
prospect of the trip to the
Office each day. He finally
got over the hump by riding
in the front car and study
ing the track and block sig
nal system.
In other words, he got out
Of himself.
This is not the most effec-
tive way to tackle fears, be-
cause it doesn't get at the
root Of the matter. But for
minor, irritating, nagging
fears, the simple fact of get
ting interested in something
other than your own prob
lens can help-if you let it.
1t doesn't much matter what
it is; subway signal systems,
baseball, theater, guppies, or
SiX-day bike races. The re-
suit can be the same.
Since fear can do such a
devastating job and under
mine every vestige of charm,
the major fears should be
faced, brought to the surface,
and analyzed. This is impor-
tant because a lot of the time
you cannot, alone, recognize
the bubbling headwaterS of
your fear. If a fear is deep
and severe, and prevents you
from operating like a normal
person, the only thing to do
is to seek professional help.
No one can love at his full
est capacity or work at his
fullest capacity if some neu-
rosis is nagging at his coat
tails.
One of the best antidotes !
know for chasing fear is the
capacity to laugh at your
self. Even with large and ter
rifying fears. this capacity
can neutralize the damaging
paralyzing effect of fear.

A large percentage of the
time our fears are un-
founded. Especially in social
matters-or in matters where
charm, as the innate part
of our own makeup, can be
Of help.
The first and most reason
able step is to uproot our
own fears, look them in the
face, release them, and work
on replacing them with
something better.
Emerson said: He has not
learned the lesson of life
who does not every day sur
mount a fear" I agree with
y Ralph Waldo.
Psychiatrists tells us that
a majority of us go around
throwing BOBBY traps in our
own way. They also distin-
guish between real fear and
unjustified fear. Normal and
neurotic fear, If We want to
get technical about it.
Fears have a way of
popping up and running an
evening, a day, a year. a
friendship. They can make us
hate ourselves, others, and
the world in general. I've
never yet seen a genuinely
charming person who oper-
ated under fear. Dryden said:
Fear freezes minds, but love
like heat, exhales the soul
sublime. :"
Overcoming Fear
In other words, love itself
has a lot to do with over
coming fear and bringing
our perspective into human
focus. It's one answer to a
constant floating fear or
anxiety which too often runs
through the lives of a lot OF
people. l guess one reason is
that love gets us out of our
selves, and in doing so pre-
vents us from dwelling on our
real or imagined fears. Ten
nyson came up with the
same idea when he said:
Love casts out fears q. :"
You don't have to look far
to see this. With his lady
love to inspire him, a young
lover will face dragons he'd
never dream of facing other
wise. Let any kind Of harm
come anywhere near her
child, and a mother will for
get that anything like fear
ever existed. Fear is a power
full emotion - but love is
greater.
To hurdle fear, it's impor-
tant to become mature. Fully
mature-emotionally and in
tellectually. Real maturity
comes when we've learned to
face honestly ourselves, our
lives. and our times.
Maturity
We might, then, add ma
turity to love, and make con-
siderable headway in getting
around this thing called fear.
To say that superficial So
cial fears are just plain ri
diculous is not going to help,
because fears like this are
very real and very alive to a
lot of people. All are reflect
ing a very natural feeling
the feeling of insecurity. Some
Of this is normal, but most of
it is not.
One gentleman who GER
tainly cannot be considered
fear-ridden in any respect
did have a block about speak

De GouIIe Plan for Unity

The fresh drive for greater

leader.
But Gen. de Gaulle's initia-

his European colleagues into
accepting the challenge of

at least five years.
Eighteen months ago, Gen.
de Gaulle's ideas were spurned
by his allies as dangerous and

Now. they are accepted as the
basis on which a new, political
era in Europe will be built.
Positive Action Sought
/. Following the collapse Of the
summit conference, Gen. de

positive new Western policies
rather than mere responses to
Soviet presume. Political unity
was to be the positive answer
to Nikita Khrushchev just as
NATO had been the reply to
