throughout the spectacular prod
by well known local models.
Mrs. Elgin Baylor, mistress of
ceremonies, welcomed guests and
introduced Mrs. Addie C. Few,
president of the st. Paul branch
of the NAACP, who gave a few
welcoming remarks.
The show, sparked by beauteous
Mrs. Belafonte, featured lounging,
daytime, casual and sportswear,
cocktail and evening formal wear.
In the "at home" or lounging scene,
Mrs. Belafonte was dazzling in a
brilliant combination of pink and
red in spun cotton hostess outfit.
A one piece coverall with slim
tapered lines beginning with bodice
of pink and ending with red pencil
thin legs that came to a point over
the heels, and dipping low to the
waistline in back and built-up front
giving a covered up effect. The
overskirt of tulle started with lay
ers of pink and ended with layers
of red and was removable. 1t
featured a wide cumberland belt.
Her shoes were red floral silk
pumps.
Sarah Fletcher in white tore
ador trousers with blue jacket and
Toni Allen in a pink and white
check, both from Newman Apparel
Shop in st. Paul, added dash and
color. For sun and carefree days
Mrs. Belafonte was petite in shirts
and shorts created by McNab of
the West Indies, that featured the
big brothers shirt of Dacron with
the shorts made right into it. She
wore terry cloth and straw slip
pers from Milan, Italy.
A butcher boys coat Of olive
drab cotton pin-wale worn over
white stretch showed something
new for the lass who likes to go
sailing and was an eye-catcher
when worn by Mrs. Belafonte with
nautical headgear with visor
front.
Ready for the gang for a back
yard barbecue or picnic, Mrs. Bel
afonte chose coulottes. The pants
legs were very full giving the ap-
pearance of circular skirt and an
outfit that will carry one through
many carefree hours.
In the scene showing daytime
wear Richelle Session was charm
/ ing in a white and black coin dot
on white ground shirtwaist dress
with black patent belt and white
hat and Viola Madden in a black
cotton frock trimmed in white
was very smart. A powder blue
nylon frock featuring full skirt
and enhanced with matching
gloves and bag was shown to ad-
vantage by Elveeda Bellamy and
all of the outfits were from New
mans Apparel Shop in st. Paul.

dressed male will be wearing was
modelled by Gordon Kirk, Fred
Ewing, Clarence Anderson Jr., and
Gene Moore in fashions from Lie
mandt's in Minneapolis.
For the theatre and cocktail
hour, Mrs. Belafonte was stunning
in a white silk organdy hand en-
broidered in scarlet flowers with
which she wore silk pumps and
gloves. Sarah Fletcher in a black
silk chiffon from Newman's was
oh so chic. The bodice featured
tiny straps and the skirt was en-
hanced with a black lace ruffle at
the hemline and chiffon stole ex-
tending to the hemline in back. 1t
was from Newman's in st. Paul.
Bernadine Foster in imported silk
chiffon and Viola Madden beige
silk organza showed what the we'll
dressed woman will be wearing for
dress-up.
For that very special date, Mrs.
Belafonte in a very special crea-
tion by Estevez, made of white
imported French lace in the latest
tunic design, featured a short mar
row cut sheath with a flaired over
