no idea how many MacLeods

about 20 other variations of

"We're the most organized

there are more Campbells,

The chiefs latest jaunt,
which she financed herself,
took her through the Middle

way across Canada, and into
New York, where MacLeods
and friends gathered for a
big dinner last Friday.

Blazers Return
For Men's Wear
By United Press
Now it's the return of the
1920's styles for . men. One
manufacturer (A. Sulka and
Co.) says blue blazer jackets
with brass buttons are a fa
vorite with the Palm Beach
set this winter. Worn with the
jackets? White flannel slacks,
of course.
One national chain of beauty
shops (Helene Curtis) offers
this forecast for spring coif
fures: very short, but brushed
up with a revival of the early
career girl, or Amelia Earhart,
look.
New color combinations are
on the way in the jewelry in
dustry. The Fashion Coordi
nation Institute said two
"comers" are white combined
with rhinestones for daytime
suits and dresses, and silver
jewelry worn with beige cas
ual clothes.
The cotton industry, which
each year choses a grown-up
"Maid of Cotton," now has de
cided she needs company. For
the first time this year, it will
choose a national "Little Miss
Cotton" to represent the in
dustry in the children's wear
field. The "Miss," to be
crowned in Memphis May 16,
will be between six and 10
years old and selected, said
the National Cotton Council
on basis of "beauty, charm
and background."
One St. Louis designer has
come up with a variation on
that old fashion theme of ver
satility. It's a two-day cos
tume, one side a slim cotton
sheath of solid color, but lined
in a gay print. The dress is
completely finished so that it
can be turned inside out for a
change.

Of Composition
Portland The world pre
miere of . a work by David
Diamond, one of the most em
inent of contemporary Am
erican composers, will be
presented at the Portland
Junior Symphony's mid-winter

tion of Jacob Avshlomov, on
Saturday, February 15, 8:30

four paintings by the late
Paul Klee, one of the most
creative artists from the
French - tradition of modern
art. In honor of the occasion,

Modern Art is arranging a
loan of at least one of the
paintings, which will be on
view on the night of the con
cert at the auditorium and

position is the first to be pre
sented in the commissioning

Junior Symphony's $10,000
grant from the Rockefeller
Foundation "for music par
ticularly suitable for perfor
mance by junior orchestras."
Mr. Diamond, who is resid
ing in Florence, Italy, has
written that the opportunity
to compose music for the
Klee paintings has been a
cherished dream of his for
many years. The second new
work in the commissioning
series will be "Dance and
Reverie" by Roy Harris, also
one of the greats among con
temporary American compos
ers. It will be presented at
