Dinner and fashions made up an
agenda for an enjoyable Sunday af
ternoon when the Portland Chapter
o f Jack and Jill o f A m erica. Inc.
presented ‘ ‘ The Portland C ollec
tion” to some 3(X) persons on De
cember 5.
The affair, staged in the Cascade
ballroom at the Red Lion Inn at
I loyd Center, was to beneift the
Stars and Stripes drill team, a 10-
tnember team of girls o f middle-
school age, who performed with
snap and precision during the even
ing.
After dinner. Fashion, as present
ed by Gerri Ward, commentator for
the Clothes Horse and by Cora
Sm ith, commentator for Cora
Smith Hair Designs, commanded at
tention.
Against a mood-setting back
ground o f winter white tree
branchings and tiny tw inkling
lights, a dozen models showed the
glamorous Portland Collection of
Clothes to be found at the Clothes
Horse. Choreography and timing on
the runway were smooth and profes
sional, the clothes were beautiful
and wearable for life in Portland.
Commentary was helpful.
Seven different scenes were o f
fered from “ The Town and Country
l ook” through ‘ ‘Tuxedo Dressing”
to “ Elegant Holiday" wear.
Noted were earth tones. Beiges
and greens were given importance in
the fashion base, but also noted was
the use of strong, primary colors to
accent.
Velours, called "functional and
sensational” by Gerri, were worn by
both male and female models. Some
velour garments were for outdoor
activities and some were for indoor
lounging and leisure lime— right up
to shower and bathtime.
A very pretty and dressy jacket
made of a flu ffy light gtey fu r,
shown over an ivory afternoon
dress, drew a ripple of special atten
tion
when G erri
mentioned
"Coyote" as the fur’s origin. There
was a silky mauve “ bubble” dress
with hem line right out of the har
em, a black and smoke organza con
coction with huge sleeves, a body-
clinging gown of sleek black velvet,
shiny jet jew elry, coq-fcather cap
sleeves on an emerald green satin
gown, and velvet dinner jackets for
men—and more.
Elaine Jamison, president o f
Portland Chapter Jack and Jill, in
troduced members o f the local
group. Her husband, Alonzo Jami
son, acted as the evening’s general
master of ceremonies for this fam
ily-oriented organization.
Among several winners o f door
prizes offered were: Genevieve M ar
tin, Helen Rawlins, Kay Kennedy,
Jerry Duckett, Rosa Bouchet. Keva
M oore selected the prize winning
tickets.
