On Tu esday evening the w
S. c. S met at the church. Our
president, Mrs. Kennard Shuts
presided over a short business
meeting which was followed by
a very fine program and slides
by Miss Anne Carman. Miss

has just returned home from
Tangier, Morocco. She is home
for a year. At the close of this
program a surprise stork show

Due to the severe snow storm
and the drifting of the snow,

was unable to get home. There
will be services at the regular

Mrs. Herbert Butts spent last
Monday evening with Mr.. and

The beautiful white snow
which blanketed much of the
Eastern part of the United Stat
es did not miss us, but with the
beauty came hardships for many.
Some folks spent a great deal
OF time digging out driveways
and lanes only to have them fill
in with the drifting snow. Some
are just getting dug out now
and some of the secondary roads
were just being opened as late
as Sunday afternoon. Those
who have enjoyed it most of all
are the school children who
have had a two day vacation
plus the weekend.

One of the worst electrical
storms ever witnessed in March
passed over this vicinity short

Three houses on Main Street
known as Vermillion Row were
partially destroyed by fire about
ii o'clock Tuesday night. The
houses had recently been pur-
chased by Wilson Cabinet Com

to be carried for several blocks.
Smyrna firemen responded to
the alarm, with assistance from
the Clayton company. The vol

about two hours. Cause of the
fire was not determined.

NINETEEN HU ND r E D
AND SIXTY WAS THE

Wore your hair In a bee
hive. Made no bones
about wearing frankly fake
furs, they were considered
SO chic. Norman Norell
introduced the trOuser skirt
for daytime city wear and
released his work patterns
in a historic Seventh Ave-
nue. move to actually help
copyists interpret his trouser-
skirt correctly.
Young girls the world over
took up the Brigitte BardOt
mussed-up little girl look
with long touseled hair, short
full skirts, and pouting faces.
In Washington, French
fashion visitors included B.

press conference in q sweater,
open-necked shirt and play
ing a guitar 8. and Jules
Crahay Of Nina Ricci who
charmed the audience at
Julius Garfinckel's Shore

Laurent was drafted, got
sick, and then it was an
nounced at Christian Dior
that Marc BOhan would sue
coed him.
Culottes kicked UP a fash
ion storm in California where
in the early '40s DeDe john
son had first sponsored them
and designers like Addie
Masters were again creating
glamorous at-home culottes
plus culottes for cocktail time
wear :. Eve Merriam's book
"Figleaf" razzed the fashion
industy and her dictionary Of
fashion terms proved hilari-
Gus reading.
The bikini showed up but
the darling Of the Riviera
bathing beauties was the
more covered up one piece
swimsuit.
The big fashion story was
the Kennedy Nixon clothes

to drop the subject was the
who paid what to whom for
what" issue ended Oleg
Cassini, glamour boy Of Sew
enth avenue, consulted with
Mrs. John F. Kennedy at
Georgetown H ospital and
emerged the winner Of the
design contest as to who will
be the future First Lady's
clothes counselor.
In 1860 there were more
foreign imports it seemed
than ever before. Couturer-

clothes were featured by
every fine store.

In 1850 you wore fabulous
fur hats. knit trims on
suits. dresses and knit hats.
E. Skirts were shorter than
ever. The demi-flt jacket
was it. Fashion gimmickS
even hit the campaign trail
with Sayeled elephants and
donkeys printed fabrics
with the candidates names,
and little cage wells. Corn
ball gimmickS were out. Good
taste was in.
Beaded dresses were the
hit Of the fashion evening
scene. They were fabulous
and fabulously expensive with
$1,000 the going price fol-
any number Of the beaded
beauties. .. The covered up"
look was another strong con-
tender for the high fashion
look for evening. Ball
gowns with sleeves were very

Bell shaped sleeves on
