GILMORE (United Pre Staff Corrmpondtnt) ROME (IB Italy is about the "tippingesf country in the world. You can't win. It's not beggars, of whom there are many, but the legitimate and illegitimate persons who always lurk around expecting a tip. Take the restaurant. You figure ten per cent is adequate. You're wrong. Your bill arrives with notations that bring the "mancia" as it is called here, to astronomical pro portions. There's the "bread and cover" charge. It amounts to about seven per cent whether you eat bread or not. There's the "bollo," or gov ernment stamp, which adds some more. More Chiselersi Even if you're not in a plush place where entertainment is pro vided plus amusement tax, you get it anyway. Itinerant musicians there are thousands in Rome barge in, hack and saw away, and the "mancia" again. Then, of course, there is a tip to the boy who pours sour wine. There's a tip to the doorman.

(IPi Although the Grand Prix road race held hero annually is strict ly an amateur affair, a report by the finance committee revealed that staging the event involved $18,619 and that assets exceeded liabilities.

Coordinating color and pattern in suits, shirts and Nies poses a new problem for the average shop per. What to wear with what is the question. Some, basic rules in ensembling fancy shirts and suits with ties as the connecting link are pointed out by the Men's Tie Foundation. The suit is the basic unit of a wardrobe. Use it as a guide in I selecting shirts and ties. Fancy shirt colors can be match ed ' or contrasted to the suit. If the shirt is matched to the suit color (blue shirt, blue suit) pick the tie color to contrast or highlight the suit and shirt color. If the shirt is contrasted (grey shirt, blue suit) pick up the suit color as the prin cipal color accent in the tie. Try to avoid small patterned ties with checked shirts, the Foun dation suggests. They tend to give too. busy an appearance to a checked shirt. Wear, instead, wide For Spring Parade She's all dressed up In her first Easter bonnet, and matching pin wale corduroy cout trimmed with hand made Irish lace. The snappiest little topper you'd ev er hope lo see! It's new as tomor row with its deep rolled collar, turn back cuffs and deep sleeves. And it's lined with fabulous Milium for all weather comfort. You'll be wearing it over everything you own! In lux urious all wool fleece natural, gold, red. S33.95 Bend Mercantile Co With Shirts Foundation stripes. An off center pattern, un der the knot patterns, panels with strong vertical lines complement the check. A striped tie can bo worn with a striped shirt. If the shirt is a narrow pin stripe, pick a large wide striped tie. If the shirt is a wide broad stripe, a pin stripe tie will go best. Ties with well spaced, regular patterns, such as geometric forms, polka dots, squares, triangles, cir cles, are especially good with strip ed shirts. Small regularly spaced figures, either in woven or prints, contrast better wun siripea smri ings than bold, sweeping panels. A Dlaid shirt pattern, because it is the most diffused of all fancy shirting patterns, lends itself per fectly to bold, paneiea or lancy neckwear. But care should be ta ken not to mix stripes with plaids. There is too much conflict of cross ed lines of design. Men on Carrier Eat Heartily SAN DIEGO, Calii.

GUNTER (United l'reu SUff CorwpoiuienU) .- BIRMINGHAM. Ala. (IB-Irene Jordan, who sang at the Metro politan Opera only seven weeks be fore her first baby came, says that while having a family she found a new voice which she hopes may make her a star. The soprano thinks she can re turn to American opera in leading roles. She said she wou.d go to Europe if she finds the door barred at the Metropolitan because she broke her former contract to. be come a mother. Miss Jordan said she owed her new, powerful voice of exceptional range to an obscure Spanish singer who bucked modern technique and taught her to expand her throat. Marti-Folgado passed on his ideas about muscular control of the throat to the young Alabamian be- tore ne died ot cancer a year ago.

Learned All Over "I had to learn -lo sing all over again and at first it sounded like the croaking of a frog," she said. Learning to make more room in side her throat where big rolling tones resound was a matter of de veloping muscles which are seldom used. She had to let out collars on her dresses which became too tight when her neck size grew. Miss Jordans next step is to show the new voice lo the critics. She plans a Town Hall recital in New York and Is willing to gamble on getting favorable reviews. Miss Jordan taught music at Judson College in Alabama for two years before She went to New York to study voice and dramatics. Alter an office job she found a spot in the chorus of a Broadway musical and worked her way into a radio program called "Songs by Irene." Announcing her own numbers and playing radio drama parts gave her a deep, round speaking voice.
