Many of these garments are made of more than one type of fabric wool and fur blends lined with cotton, dacron or rayon. Before they can be cleaned, your cleaner must an alyze the exterior and the lin ing fabrics for fiber content to determine which method will be safe for both. .Most of the fabrics .used for sports car clothes and other casual outdoor wear have been given pre-shrinkage, water-re-pellency, and flame resistance treatments. These also must be taken into consideration when the article is dry clean ed. The simple truth of the matter is that we cannot afford to take chances. We must be sure before we go ahead.

The Khrushchev clan pappa, mamma, two grown daughters, a son and son-in-law all were put up in the Waldorf-Astoria's four bedroom presidential suite and a much smaller one next door for their two-day stay in the nation's largest city. We Pay Bill The hotel gets $150 a day for the presidential suite the other one is "hardly so expensive," said" F. Dell s Agnese, manager of the Waldorf Towers apartments. But since the Soviet family is a guest of this government, we taxpayers through the State Department will foot the bill. What is the presidential suite like? It is mostly American colonial in furnishings, is simply but ele gantly done, is light and airy, and high enough the 35th floor for the Khrushchevs to see most of the New York skyline. Former President Hoover lives four floors below; General of the Army Douglas MacArthur, two floors above. The Khrushchev suite consists of drawing room, about 25 by 30 feet long; dining room, with a stoveless kitchen and serving pantry adjoining; a large entrance foyer; the four bedrooms; and four baths, all with tub and stall shower. The master bedroom, done in pale blue and ivory tones, boasts a dressing room also in the same scheme, and its bath has a set of scales in case the portly Mr. and Mrs. K. want to check waist line expansion through all the PERRY BRIEFS Perry Girl Is Fashion Shop Model For Walla Walla Store By TWILLA CARSON Observer Staff Writer.

TV For K The drawing room also has a television set (black and white), in case the Khrushchev family has time for the late, late show. The reception foyer, dining room, drawing room and master bedroom all are colonial, of the 18O0's period, said Joseph Huston, whose firm was commissioned some six years ago to decorate the rooms. Other bedrooms are French and English, he said. "because a lot of European roylty uses the suite." Huston wouldn't reveal how much the furnishings had cost. But he must have had an ample budget to provide the pale beige wall-to-wall carpeting throughout for the brocade draperies and heavy silk bedspreads; for the reproductions of the elaborately carved desk and highboy in the drawing room; or for the hand made pictorial paper in the latter. showing Niagara Falls, the natur al bridge of Virginia, and New- York and Boston harbors in co lonial days.
