New Spring Styles
Reflect Bright Hues

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.

stripes, paisleys and other prints
arc the thing to wear especially
if accompanied by a shirt of con

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

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.

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.
