At Hadassah Style Show
Israeli Designs Shine
At Hadassah Style Show

The most amazing sidelight
of the original fashion collec-
ton from Israel shown by and
for Greater Montgomery Coun-
ty Hadassah members last week
was that teen age girls design
ed and constructed the styles.
The elegantly tailored hand
doomed coats and skillfully en-
broidered cocktail and evening
wear were products of the
Alice Seligsberg Vocational
School, founded in Israel by
Hadassah in 1912. Each year
the students create a collection
which tours the United States
helping to raise funds for
Hadassah's network of vocation
al educational institutions in
Israel.
Opening the show at Temple
Enamel, Kensington, on a bright
note, Mrs. Charlotte Shulman
modelled an eye-catching red
wool tweed coat, designed with
massive collar and wide, button
ed belt over a matching sheath
dress.
Costume Look Popular
Dorothy Shapiro howe d
another hand-woven design-a
soft basketweave wool costume.
The brief, flared jacket was
highlighted with a wide stand
away collar, and the sheath
underneath featured an empire
draw-string waist.
Basic black looked smart on
Nora Lang, whose cocktail
dress of silk twill was designed
with soft shoulders and a wide
belt.
Another coStume-theSe were
popular-was the citrus yellow
tweed worn by Lee Zawatslxy.
Her classic collarless cardigan
light weight coat topped
matching dress with deep "
stitched bodice.
Nan Feldman chose a fall
favorite-Navy blue. The day
time ensemble consisted of a
soft hubby tweed jacket with
SETTLE bow and a high-waisted
sheath dress.
A jacket dress, this one of
olive wool jersey, was worn by
Ellie Berger, and Blanche Lip
man looked striking in a simple
glen plaid chiffon cocktail
design.
The audiences favorite was a
champagne oriental-like sheath,
slit skirted, and bordered with
gold and silver embroidery,
worn with a matching coat.

In Menoriam

w. C. HARDING - In loving
Memory of our Dear Father Viii
liam C. Harding who left us
A years ago, April 25th, 1857.
Like a ship that left it's moor
ing
And set bravely out to sea.
Someone Dear has sailed away
to eternity.
At night we look towards the
sky
When the stars are twinkling
bright
We wonder Dad which one is
yours.
AS they shine on through the
night.
We like to think when life is
done
Wherever heaven may be and
thus
That you will be waiting at the
door UP there to welcome us.
