T0 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE MEDFORDvTRIBUNE ommd Easter Outfit to Suit Both Pocketbook and Wardrobe By GAY PAULEY United Press Correspondent New York (U.R) Friend of mine has a fashion problem shared by several million wom en this season. She wants something new and chic for the Easter pa rade, she wants what she buys to be a lasting part of her wardrobe, and she wants whatever she Gay Pauley purchases to fit into her busy life as homemaker-office worker. And, he wants to spend no more than $100. Her salary is about $75 a week. Trying to be of help to Mrs Frances Sherman, stenographer librarian at the Ford Founda tion'S Fund for the Advancement of Education, I consulted dress designer Claire McCardell, au thor of a new fashion guide, "What Shall I Wear?" I also talked with wardrobe consultants in retail stores. Well, Frances, they give you and all of us on a budget, plenty of suggestions. Unhappy Size The experts took note of the fact that you're a 16 which you called "a most unhappy size"; that you own good black pumps and handbag which won't need replacement this spring; and that your jvardrobe must fit a life built around the office by day, church on Sunday, and an oc casional evening out With your Student Chosen As Sweetheart Cae Junction (Special) Miss Rorviie Bausch, a senior at Il linois Valley high school and junior past honored queen of Job's Daughters, has been chosen by tie Illinois Valley DeMolays as thir official sweetheart.

They suggested you dye last year's full length yellow coat black " Black is the best basic color, if your wardrobe is lim ited," said Miss McCardell. Now, about buying a black silk crepe dress, since you already own a tweedy-type gray suit two years old. Miss McCardell said "No" to the black dress. She suggested purchase of another suit this one, a soft dressmaker type, in light weight wool, or in one of the new silk and wool combi nations. Choose black, if you can find it; otherwise, gray, she sug gested, j More Versatile "A dressmaker suit is more versatile," said Miss McCardell. "It's perfect worn with scarf and jewelry ... or with tailored blouse Jor daytime. For dressier occasions, and a soft jersey blouse of the -same color and pearls." Barbara Adams, wardrobe consultant for a Fifth Avenue store B. Altman listed three wardrobe plans, none of them costing over the $100. She liked the idea of the dress maker suit . . . said you can find a good one for $40 or $50 in silk and wooL Or, choose a dress either a slim-cut black crepe "basic" or a floral print. Prints are "big" this spring, she said, and wjll go right on through summer. This leaves you about. $50 to spend on blouse and scarf for the suit if you decide on it and on jewelry and hat. Incidentally, hats made by some of the na tion's top designers are featured at hat bars . . . available for $15 and up. The experts suggested a white hat; it can be worn later with summer cottons. So there's their advice, Fran ces. Happy Easter parading. Square Dance Saturday A public square dance will be held Saturday, April 6, at 8:30 p.m. at the Roxy Ann Grange hall on Spring street.
