There is a $36 men's handker chief, for instance. It is neither gold plated nor inscribed with a treasure map just a plain, white cotton handkerchief to be folded neatly in the breast pocket. ..'" .. . And how about a pair of men's ribbed lisle socks for $8.50? Not many women, even the most budget-free bride, would spend more than $2.00 for a pair of stockings.

Quality a Word "Quality is a word that has little meaning today," Peter Knize,' 29, the owner of the ex clusive tailoring company, said as he escorted his vistor around his two-story shop. "But when we say quality, we mean quality." That's when he got to the handkerchief counter. "We do not buy these by the dozen but by the piece," he said, displaying one of the $36 hand kerchiefs. "They are made in France from hand spun cotton." , The $8.50 lisle 'socks are hand made abroad too. Then there are other wardrobe items which cus tomers as varied as the Shah of Iran and Marlon Brando order made 'up iby Knize's own crafts men. Marlon Brando, did you says? Knize, who pronounces his name Kuh-nee'-zha, smiled at the surprise Brando's name caused on the customer list. "He dresses very well now," he said. "He got tired of his T-shirt and blue jeans reputa tion." Vests Cost Extra Brando and the Iranian ruler and any other customers who can afford it choose suits that cost from $290 up. That's just for the trousers and jacket. If a fellow wants a vest, that's S20 extra. Knize features undershorts made of fabric to match the shirt. The shah, he said, ordered 24 shirts and matching shorts on his recent visit to the U.S., and also 30 pairs of pajamas, and 32 other "garments," in cluding suits, ski suits, tennis clothes and jackets. At those prices, Knize and his tailors reserve the right to re fuse if a man comes in and asks for a suit with heavily-padded shoulders and a generally zoot suit cut. The family has been making clothes for royalty and well-h e e 1 e d businessmen for nearly a century, all the way from Vienna, where Knize's grandfather began the business, to "the present store. "We cannot afford to make a bad suit," the present heir to the family tradition said. Oh, yes, and men pay $10.75 to have a suit pressed at this fabulous men's fashion head quarters. -It's a real quality pressing.

Japan is in the process of Westernization and particularly is this evident in the younger generation of Japanese.

"There is neither the electricity available to provide power to operate them, nor the . money necessary to buy the products," she added. Staples in the Japanese diet are fish, rice and soy beans, which are served three times a day. Mrs. Takeda said she was thoroughly enjoying the variety of American food, and particu larly the American' hospitality shown her everywhere she went. To conclude her speech," Mrs. Takeda; demonstrated typical Japanese dress, donning an es pecially, elaborate kimono and accompanying sashes which, in Japan is a costume reserved for social functions.
