Uses Unfitted Silhouette BY GAY PAULEY UPI Women' Editor New York (UPI Design er Larry Aldrich maintains the unfitted silhouette is here to stay. But he also admits women still need some con vincing. Said Aldrich, at a preview of his fall collection for 200 visiting fashion reporters: "Despite the opinion of the fashion experts, such as plumbers, taxi drivers, edi torial writers, television com ics and even politicians a reference to an Adlai Steven son wisecrack about the sack there is no longer any 'doubt about the victory of the revo lutionary silhouette. But the war is not completely over by any means. . ." "The unfitted fashion. . . gives the woman the sense of well-being and elegance she seeks in new clothes," said Aldrich, one of the first of Seventh Avenue's fashion leaders to adopt the chemise. "It represents a clothes in vestment with a future, not in a waning fashion." Others Disagree Alich's observations run counter to many fashion lead ers famine lrigere ana uieg Cassini, g name a couple. Cas sini, who believes clothes n should show the figure, says the time has come for a "re turn to reason." Tngere con cedes that a lot of women are waiting for the fitted waist, and many of her unfitted num bers are easy to nip in at that q part of the anatomy. Aldrich showed six major 'silhouettes: The slender, high-waisted dress with slightly gathered or tapered skirt; the slim dress "with a low hipline highlighted by a belt, sash, or set-in hip n band; the "mobile" dress, ' . . ; a I : V- wnicn is ivo-piece or wnu a jacket, the top slightly flared ; and boxy over a full skirt; the suspension shape dropping in wide fullness from a high yoke; the demi-waistline dress, a "compromise" shape with a wide crushed belt fitting the front only, with the back hanging lose; and the valance hem, in which the dress hangs str$ght except for a flounce at the knee. "There is no one major sil houette this year," said de signer Adele Simpson. The Sack Is Dead "The sack was finished in a hurry because there were so many ugly versions. The word itself was ugly," she added. "I believe in the dress that Qskims the body, but a woman wants to feel some fit. That is why I've put so much stress on inner construction." Many of Mrs. Simpson's dresses have built-in bodices; others are fully interlined. Mollie Parnis, who designs for Mrs. Dwight D. Eisen hower, said farewell to the "limp and baggy." She dis played two major shapes the straight and narrow, but fit ted loosely, grid the "paper doll," with a definite flare and waistline curve.

Seated are Mrs. Dorothy Sloniger and Alvin Reiss, and IPajntpaDirairirn If this wasn't July 1958, we'd say the gods were angry. Looking back on the short storm which struck our neighbor hood last night, it's easy to understand why sometimes people believed that the lightning, thunder and high winds were caused by the gods, angered at some action of the mortals. At the height of the storm, we were too upset and busy tor reflection. At first the two watching the trees and boughs tossing furiously and weirdly in the wind and the driving rain, rain so heavy that objects but a short distance could not Remembering the open windows upstairs ,we ran to shut them only to discover that closing them didn't "keep out the torrents of rain. Water ran down inside the panes and around the casings, it seeped in around the light fixtures and crept under the doors. It even came down the chimney and splashed on the hearth. When the thunder rolled, the house quaked and quivered Looking out an upstairs cypress tree, taller than our two-story house, had snapped off a few feet from "the ground and crashed across the patio, narrowly missing the Chevrolet parked beside the driveway, and taking with it flower pots and basket. Water ran down the driveway, heaping up little mounds of debris. Rose blossoms were broken off a couple of inches below the petals and the heads scattered around the yard. Through the worst of this ' and above the noise of the wind and rain we occasionally heard the pounding of a hammer. For this was the week that the family had chosen to have the south half of the roof re-covered. Frank Hanley, the shingler, ignoring the high wind and driving rain, worked on as fast as he could to cover the exposed section from which he had ripped the Actually, more water seemed to come in where the roof remained than did where it was open, since the wind drove it under and in to unaccustomed spots. Aware finally that the noise on the roof had ceased, Pappy hastily donned a coat to run out and see if Mr. Hanley had come to harm, only to meet him at the door looking as if he had just been fished out of the river. Even the pockets of his trousers were full of water. While' he stood in the middle of the kitchen, dripping. Pappy found him a towel and dry shirt, and we made coffee. ' It took an hour for the two of us in apt th -f rpp frnm in front of the back door. There wasn't anv rhpprfnl cnn. versation as Pappy used the we carried me nmos ana twigs to a bigger and bigger pile down near the barn. The pretty cypress took about 30 years to grow, only to be struck down in a second. me wind also flattened Fappy's beautiful, tall sweet corn, and even picked up the cucumber vines, flat as they were, and twisted the runners this way and that. The tall phlox, in full bloom, lay almost to the ground. Only a few hours before we had watered the potted red carnation, noting that it had several fat buds in addition to the three beautiful red blossoms. It was in the path of the falling tree, and one of the shattered-blossoms we picked up, six or eight feet from the pot. And practically every tree and shrub on the place is filled with branches from the willow, stripped from the big tree and driven in among the branches of others. The storm did nothing, we might add, to quiet the unease which rose in us during the day as we listened to and read the alarming international news. The Perfect Answer This story, originally printed as an editorial in the San Francisco Chronicle, Potpourri found m the columns of the Christian Science Monitor. Cecil Poole, assistant district attorney, one recent morning found the perfect answer for a question from his 6-year-old daughter Mr Poole, a Negro, lives in the Ingleside Terrace district, a white" neighborhood. This morning his daughter came run ning to him to report "There's a cross on our lawn all burned. Why is it there?" The Negro hesitated a moment and then said "Some Christian has lost his way." The perfect answer, indeed. O.S. Named Accessories Aid to Youngsters Personalized accessories are often a great incentive for youngsters to wash hands and face often and without prod ding.
