PARIS, Jan. 20 (AP).-
Yves Saint-Laurent tried to
make a comeback in the
fashion world today with a
collection that showed he
had not abandoned the sack
look he loved so when he
designed for Dior.
This time the young de-
irsigner, opening his own fash
ion house 18 months after
the army took him away
from Dior, gave the sack a
tunic effect with straight
skirt beneath, never longer
than just below the knee.
The overblouse was belted
loosely at the waist with a
sash or fell straight from
shoulder to below the hip.
Hips were accented loosely
in good little suits whose
blouses peeked out from
under short jackets in fabric
or fringe.
Skirts pretended to be
straight cut and folded into
one big envelope pleat in the
front for ease and fullness.
Impish Side
The 25-year-old designer
showed his impish side with
rakish little dresses ending
lin harem pants at the knee.
!Scarves were tied under the
: head Bardot-style. One scarf,
for afternoon wear. had
ostrich feathers attached
to it.
One suit was in a cherry
check with an olive green
blouse putting out under the
J jacket waist. Other check
suits were trimmed in tool
braid which formed a small
Chinese stand-up collar
around the neck.
Saint-Laurent introduced a
sailor look with three-quarter
coats that looked like mid
dies. The sailors buttons were
replaced by silver and gold
metal braided buttons.
The most successful models
were often the plainest. One
was a black suit with what
will be Saint-Laurent's trade
marks this season: An ochre
blouse peeking out from I'M
der a short jacket, an easy
skirt with a fold in front, a
big black Panama hat and an
ochre scarf tied around the
neck, cowboy style.
Dresses had kimono tops
and short sleeves. They often
looked ree-tiered-loosely
tied at the waist, coming to
their next stop at the hip
with the end of the tunic, and
the skirt peeking out from
under.
For cocktails and early
evening Saint Laurent
showed a ruffled knockout of
black chiffon. Flat and
straight in front like any re-
spectacle chemise, it began to
ruffle in tiers above thSKf4ee
Ruffles went up higher in
back ending like a hustle with
a satin bow behind.
The bust was allowed to
appear in what Saint-Laurent

Star Staff Writer

How many women work at
their profession seven days a
week, at least 48 weeks of
every year?
Irma Thomas does, and
she's "a years old, approach
ing IS.
Mrs. Thomas looks we'll -
and lovely, feels well and has
missed work only a few times
in her 20-year career with
the Ice CapadeS.
She is the feminine half
of "The Old Smoothies," a
graceful, act in waltz time
that comes as a pleasant
change of pace in the spec
tacular on ice.
Mrs. Thomas, the mother
of three daughters and the
grandmother of seven, took
up skating in 1885, when she
was 38 years old.
She was urged to do so, as
a hobby, by the man who is
still her skating partner, Mr..
Orrin Markhus.
Within months she was
skilled enough to appear in
the corps de ballet of Mr..
Markhus' little carnivals"
on ice, which played in the
Midwest for several years.
A few years later she and
Mr.. Markhus went to Holly
wood and there, in 1941, they
were discovered" by the Ice
Capades, then barely two
years old.
Mrs. Thomas has been 60
ing strong ever since on her
seven-days- -a-week schedule.
The only times she gets a
might off" are when the
troupe travels some distance
by train to the next engage

to give an airing later this

Sponsors Of the subject de-
clared that agriculture Is the
third largest item in the

So billion.
Delegates to the 25th ma
tional convention turned
down Q number Of other sug-
gested topics. These included
some on foreign policy, arms
control and disarmament,

Mrs. Phillips warned that
"a few individuals and groups

the fears and anxieties of
other people are making q
mockery Of democratic pro-
cedureS."
She said such individuals
or organizations are using
tactics similar to those they
