Dyer The whirled, docile as a dummy, while Master Tailor Seymour Fox fitted shoulders and waist lines on $1,000 worth of suits and coats to the figure he de scribes effectively as a "wow! But she stamped when he reached for the hemline. "Fifteen inches, I think," said Fox, who first knew Miss Taylor as a little girl of 12. "Oh!" screamed the actress. "No!" She won. They'll be 13 inches off the floor. And it's a pleasure, Fox said to give in to such a charming customer. In a whirlwind three weeks between radio appear ances and dancing evenings with fiance Conrad H. Hilton Jr. the beauteous Elizabeth has bought so much trousseau she can't re member all of it, and charmed the clothes right out of the hands of everyone she s bought from. "She's so helpful and so appre ciative," said Fox. who first met the hour-glass figured actress when he was making costumes for the air forces "winged Vic tory."

"Two trunks, and some suit cases, of course, and hatboxes," guessed Elizabeth, will hold the trousseau for the grand tour of Europe. The honeymoon will start with a week "somewhere in the West" and a visit back home for Mother's day. "The hips will kind of stick out. won t they, asked the ac tress of her tailor, batting her big black eyelashes. "That kind of camouflages my own."

Is Comedy In describing the play, they stated "The Torchbearers" was written and first produced in 1922. It is a comedy and is a classic of American theater. A synopsis of the three-act play dis closes that it concerns what a Little theater should not be but often is. First act shows a re hearsal in unglamorous rawness and the second act brings the collapse of what had been in tended to be a play, caused by circumstances ranging from the outraged directress to the vil lain s unadhesive mustache. The result is an uproarious third act. Cast of the play takes six male and six female characters. Paula Ritter is described as a charming wife of that elusive age which is closest a woman ever gets to thirtv-five. intelligent but de lightfully irresponsible. Frederick Ritter. Paula's hus band, is both piqued and per plexed by his wife's thespian an tics and finally cans a nan to me whole farce. Other Cast Member Jennv is a plump and compla cent English maid.

Mr. Hossefrosse. a well fed man of 38. is the villain of the Droduction. Ralph Twiller and Ted Spearing are two long suffering young actors. Clara Shepherd is described as having a brief but priceless role and Mr. Stagemanager is a lack adaisical type whose unexcitable attitude is the final straw in de struction of the play.

Arnold Davis, director of the Garden Center, said much back breaking labor will be saved by using the seeds. He said trans planting and thinning is a thing of the past. Davis also claims that one package of the seed will cover twice the area of the old type, the birds notwithstanding.
