About midway through
Handel's lode for st. Ce-
elias Day" the trumpets
blare, the kettledrum booms
and Tenor John McCollum
peals out this ringing decla-
ration.

Zation has dawned that here

Wummer, Cellist LaSzlo Var

Distinguished Product
That's the cast Of this dis

product that blesSes the good

in arias tender and melan-
choly. There's the song Of
1.-THE soft complaining flute
and warbling lute," the song
that sharp violins proclaim"
and that which praises "the
sacred organ"
The instrumental inter-
ludes and accompaniments
by cello, flute, lutte and
strings are angel-tinted.
If Miss Addison's voice
seems smoky at first (too
near the mike?). despair not,
for to come are pure, sweet
tones Of exqnisitely sustained
high notes and lovely trills.
In the end, there is q lofty
fugue, with Miss Addison and
the Rutgers choir triumph

Records like this make it
all worth while. The Schwann

so will the music lover who
buy it. Nice to hear some

"In SpOrtSwear, look
as III you haven't

SYDrEY WRAGGEs Here's a picture of
a woman | like to think design for: She's very
demanding. She wants to be inspired She's too
bright for flash in the PAM fads or overdone
designs that bore her in few weeks. She likes
informally mixed with elegance. She can't stand
fuss or frills She wants fabrics that perform and
colors with character. She wants clothes that mix
well whether they're FIVE days five years old.
She's collector, gathering clothes the same way
she selects choice china or new friend.
Many women 60 a little wild in their color
schemes. Rather than settle on two three pre-
dominating colors for a season, they snap up little
red, little peach little gold, lot of hot pink
smattering of olive and electric blue. This makes
her closet look like stereophonic color, but heaven
help her when she wants to coordinate it with just
two coats three bags and half dozen pairs of shoes
The incest thing one of our customers can say to
us is, II feel so right in these Clothes" That's
because well-dressed women want to feel comfort
able, not overpowered by their clothes. We try to
leave as much as possible off our clothes, to leave
room for personal expression.
l don't believe in heavy makeup for daytime,
especially with sports clothes. And think only
part of the face should be accentuated. If it's the
eyes, play down the lips. If it's the lips, then easy
on the eyes.
SpOrtswear should be mobile,
not too bulky or tight. 1t should hang well but
never cling. One should look casual in sportswear,
very relaxed, if you haven't really been trying.
Casual clothes give woman a chance to express
herself in color, because she doesn't have to play
safe with black navy. When you shop for some
thing for specific activity, find out what costume
is acceptable. If you're off to play tennis, for
example, never show up in pink toreador pants.
In your own home, wear the loudest fun clothes
you want to, but when you go to someone else's
home try to get idea beforehand of what is worn
there. I think pants - Continued on page %
