This is the fault of manufacturers as well s women. Chemises are sent to stores with long skirts, and women don't shorten the nems, Too often women don't wear the silhouette with the cor rect shoes and hats. "The first form of a fashion is not the best. But after the initial season, we get the per spective and the silhouette changes," said the designer in an interview before receiving the award. Fashion cycles generally last 10 years, he added. But he would not predict the date of the next cycle because fashions chanee so fast today with our tempo. Women al ways are looking for some thing new. That puts a con stant stress on the designer."

(IP) If you think the only difficulty you can get into at the dinner table is spilling salt and for getting to throw some over your left shoulder think again The Agricultural extension service of the University of Florida has discovered dozens of strange beliefs and super stitions about food, many of which bode ill fortune with no measures known to counteract them Take for instance, sugar. If you think spilling salt is bad, now learn that spilling sugar is worse. Why? Because the ill fortune you get from that act cannot be overcome by dust ing a few grams across the shoulder You can have bad luck by other means, too. You can ex pect trouble if you take the last piece of bread from a plate or if you break an un- sliced loaf, But there are other super stitions which indicate food can bring happiness. If you eat break crusts your cheeks will be rosy, men who eat a lot of bread will have hairy chests and if you hold a piece or bread in your mouth while peeling onions, you won't cry.
