The flight was a Navy charter, carrying 37 Seabees to McMurdo to relieve others on duty from 6 to 18 months. Now, the stewardesses head for the North Pole first to Lon don, then working a flight back by way of the Pole to San Fran cisco, their home base. The two were in McMujdo only three and a half hours, but the men planned a busy pro gram. Plan Full Program "You could tell they'd work ed on our welcome for weeks," said Mift Kelly. The Seabees treated the girls to a dogsled fice, a tour of the base, and had them judgea beard contest. Cate gories in the latter were pretty extensive including the longest thatch, th beard with the most sex appeal, the bushiest, and the one with the finest texture "pretty obvious, that category," said Miss Kelly. "You know . . . woman's touch."

Queen Elizabeth Sets Fashion for Diamond Wearing New York One of the most significant fashion trends spark ed by Queen Elizabeth's recent visit to this country is the cur rent interest in the use of bril liant jewelry for daytime wear; the Fashion Coordination insti tute reports. Inspired by the flashing dia monds the queen wears on even the most casual daytime ensem bles, American women are tak ing a new daylight look at the pin3 and brooches they have tra ditionally saved for after-dark occasions, according to the in stitute. Diamonds, real or simulated, are sure to appear increasingly on the easy clothes of today as American women coipy a simple j trick of regal elegance, by add- j ing a sparkling pin to a shoulder ; or neckline. Brilliant pins or j brooches will also go to Ameri- j can heads in a literal sense, the j institute reports, as women ' again imitate the queenly trick of using a sparkling pin to ac- cent a simple hat. This new look of daytime jew- : elry glitter will be increasingly important in the months to come, ! the institute predicts. Inspired ' by Paris, whose sure fashion sense was profoundly affected i by the queen's visit there, de signers are showing flashing brilliants with all the newest resort clothes. It's time to take the diamonds out of the vault whether it is a small pin or a magnificent brooch or copy the beauty of these priceless stones in one of the more inexpensive costume pieces and wear these glittering beauties right out in the open at high noon for a new queenly look of daytime elegance.
