brain now that spring is here, ;
you're not alone. Everyhody's
going some place or wants to
get to somewhere soon.
Women right now are get-
ting the biggest kick out Of
the way many airlines are
making it easy for them to
combine culture and chic
with their travel to such
fashion centers as Rome,
Madrid, Paris and London.
Usually Q fashion expert Is
along as the tour director.
Air France has had q neat
package deal working for
some time, and now comes
word that Alfalfa and
Glamour Magazine are l1av-
ing 9 19-day Grand Tour Of
Europe for young women
with fashion on their minds.
Departures are set for Aug
ust 26th, September I'd. 9th
and the 18th.
Three fashionable cities
London. Paris, and Rome are
on the itinerary, plus Flor.
ence. home Of some Of Italy'g
loveliest feathers. "
On April 10th Pan Ameri-
can Airways has q fashion
package to Japan and Hong
Kong with trips to fashion
shows, silk factories and the.
shops Of tailors, dressmakers,
shoemakers. and jewel-set-
ters as the piece deresistance.
WE KNEW TT-One Of the
best received bits Of spot
lighting we did recently on
our pages, had to do with
burlap taking on fashion airs.
Jane Kilbourne Of Pan
American World Always, en-
dorses the wrinkle-resista
cotton hopsackings printed
in paisley and multieolored
floral patterns in separates
and In one piece classic shirt
waist styles for the travelling
woman.
CERTAINLY there isn't b
woman around headed for
Europe who Is planning to
wear shorts, Stacks or other
beach-type clothes except at
a beach resort. We hope not.
Europeans more than
frown upon it--they absO-
lutely don't think its ladylike.
When in Rome. Paris Lon
don, Zurich, or where ere you
roam. do as they do. You'll
feel q lot more comfortable.
Though we had heard there
was q ban on bikinis in
Portugal, they were out In
full force in Estoril last June.
A troupe Of French and
German showgirls were on
tour in the show at The
Casino and breyity was the
order Of the swimming day.
Pauline Trigere is due to
receive some more accolades
for her designing talents IN
New York very shortly.
She's in Fashions Hall OF
Fame now. so we can't wait
to hear what's next.
In q recent note Pauline
says thanks for remember
ing one Of the Trjgere loves
and trademarks. You must
remind your readers that III
order to wear q sleeveless
dress, the arms should keep
their 'rcndeur ct ferrnete:..
Exercise Is the way Is keep
them that way and, as /
have little or no time. I do
mine in the taxi - you
should see the face Of the
driver. ! almost went through
the window once .a
That reminds US Of de-
signer Carolyn schnuref
who told us somebody had
told her, the way. to get rid
Of a double chin, other than
resorting plastic surgery, was
to stick your tongue out and
try to touch your nose thirty
times a day. Carolyn at
tempted same the next
morning on her way to work.
After about ten tries the cab
driver stopped the taxi and
said. Lady. would you mind
getting out. / don't want to
start the day this way" New
York cab drivers apparently
take a dim view Of the lazy
exercising Of busy careerists.
They don't mind toe wig
glers. however, since they
can't see the passengers
shoeless feet in the back.
