Note the sailor influence. New Spring Styles Reflect Bright Hues By LINDA MEIERJURGEN Emerald Staff Writer Spring fashions have taken a turn for the wild. The influence of English mods and California hippies is apparent in almost every garment that comes off the rack and in patterns too. Major colors this spring are lime, yellow and orange, but the classic pastels arc also big. The biggest trend is toward cutouts, in everything. Local stores are featuring cut out shoes, bags, dresses, swim suits and almost every other type of wearing apparel. The dress below is a good example. This yellow and green strip ped mini-dress features cutout - shoulder, back and front and horizontal trim. Made by Alvin Duskin of San Francisco it is a knit, costing about $25. The tent dress is also popular in fashion this spring and it is made in many different fabrics and colors. It can be worn for a wide variety of occasions rang ing from formal to sports. Coats have adopted the wide flare and have moved from more Playboy Says . . . 'Men Wear Paisley and Plaids Just as women's clothes are becoming more vivid, so are men's, at least for those brave enough to wear them. The out fit shown on this page is an ex ample of what’s new in spring fashions for men. It features a navy blue blazer, double breasted with gold but tons: reminiscent of 1930's and Cary Grant. Here it is worn with beige tattersall pants, but the new issue of Playboy shows it was orange and red paisley jeans. Zoot suits featuring plaid, stripes, paisleys and other prints arc the thing to wear especially if accompanied by a shirt of con trasting type, like print and plaid Photo by Bill Johnson for instance, and a four inch wide tie. In formal wear, however, men will stick close to tradition with the usual tux or colored dress jacket. For more informal, but still dressy occasions, the stand ard summer suit is in order. Men's leisure wear, according to the April issue of Playboy, will take on bold, bright looks in paisley, stripe, and plaid pat terns. Shouting, contrasting colors in shirts, sweaters, and casual slacks have replaced the stand ard tones of somber greys and greens characteristic of the dy ing Ivy League style. Sportswear also reflects the new, brighter look. MacGregor has an entire new line of golf wear of matching slacks and sweaters in colors of bright tur quoise, deep rust orange, deep gold, or kelly green. conservative solid colors to in genious prints and plaids. Many have matching dress or two-piece outfits underneath. The traditional matching of accessories to outfits seems to be going out too. In new shoe trends unique combinations like pink and yellow, or magenta and lime green are found. One small accessory getting a big play this spring is the pin, especially the flower pin Stores are showing a wide range in any thing from gold and silver, to paper mache, to porcelin. Other jewelry that is selling well are rings, and especially wild earrings. Flower rings in particular go well with the new prints. Earrings have gone from pearl drops for dress, to crea tions three inches long consist ing of 20 intricate pieces. One of the most striking com binations for the coming season will be culotte lounging and patio clothes made from flowing ma terials and accented with the new long earrings. With the Junior prom coming up girls have started to think about finding something to wear. The formal at the bottom of the page is a good example. Formals retain the somewhat subdued colors and styles that have been popular before. Photo by Bill Johnson THIS GREEN and yellow stripped mini-dress features cut in shoulders and horizontal trim.

Brides Must Consider Church Procedures Choosing a church and minister for her wedding is one of the most important decisions a bride can make. She must consider not only the physical features of the church, but also its religious teachings, which can affect the decorations, the music, and even the style of the bride’s and her attendants’ gowns. Most churches welcome altar (lowers, others prefer flowers to be elsewhere. Candles may only be white in some churches. Only vocal music is permitted in a few churches; others don't allow soloists. Some churches don’t permit short-sleeved dress es for any woman, a bride included. The ceremony itself differs considerably from church to church. For example, friends of the bride are usually seated on the left side of the church, and the groom’s friends on the right. In Orthodox and Con servative Jewish synagogues it is just the oppo site. In most ceremonies, the lather escorts the bride up the aisle. But the bride and groom walk to gether in some churches, and both parents escort the bride in others. When the father does escort his daughter, she is usually on his right side, but this varies, too. The processional and recessional order—who walks where, alone or paired, how far apart, and who actually is in the processional or recessional— has myriads of variations. Other factors affecting protocol depend on whether the wedding is a double ceremony, a re marriage, a double ring ceremony, a clergyman's own wedding, a military ceremony, or a mixed denominational wedding. The country also makes a difference. Churches in other countries may not do something the same way as the same church in the U.S. does it. The best way to find out the protocol for a par ticular church is to talk personally with the min ister. A good etiquette book can also be a great help. It gives not only most religious, but-also all social protocol for weddings. Amy Vanderbilt, whose book is available in all libraries, is the accepted authority for etiquette today.
