TODAY'S RUG BARGAIN MAY BE TOMORROW'S HEADACHE! There are two kinds of bargains good ones and bad ones! Too, often folks buy on price alone with little regard for the sellers integrity. And too often neither the rug nor its seller lives up to promises. At Laurine's every piece of carpeting is priced accord ing to its quality, and every carpet is the finest available in its price range. So when you buy at Laurine's you always get thevery most fo your money. Occasionally, lau rine's have discontinued colors or patterns, or ends of rolls which they sell at reduced prices. These are genuine money -saving bargains. . SHOP AT LAURINE'S CARPET HOUSE 520 S.

Parisian Styles Go Mail Order By PAT HERMAN United Press International Paris-(DPD-Mail order buy ers predict that 1959 Paris styles in suits and sportswear -but not evening dresses-will be available to American women in greater numbers and at lower prices than ever before. The mail order investment in Paris high style means the American housewife can or der by catalogue an adapta tion of the latest Paris fash ions for a little as $19.95. The campaign started last summer when Montgomery Ward fashion coordinator Rita Perna hand-picked six models from the French collections. This year Miss Perna said she found the spring Paris styles so appealing that she doubled her order; What Miss Perna liked in the collections she saw is a good indication of what the American woman can expect to find on the department store rack in the months to come. She said she also liked the emphasis on shoulders, giving width to the top of the long, natural silhouette and the straight below-the-knee length of skirts. In colors she praised the apricot, "pernod" green and off white and beige tones that have run through every col lection. ; Sportswear manager Henry E. Jaeger said that "there is a definite common denomina tor of good taste in America" but that geography comes into the business of merchandising. "For instance, lighter col ored coats are more preferred in California than in the Mid dle West or East," he said. "Women in the Southwest tend to be smaller than those in the Minnesota area. And in Arizona and New Mexico women go crazy for colors like turquoise." 4 Balenciaga Suit Declared Winner Paris (UPI)- American buy ers reported today that dress maker Balenciaga introduced a suit with fitted front and loose back that is sure to be a "winner" at his spring col lection.

Desses. who is ciesienino a new habit for an order of nuns in Greece, shnwwt nnA of the handsomest collections seen yet this season. When he did not actuallv use belts he used shirrim?. pleating and draping - every iricK in. tne designing trade- to empnasize the" return of the waistline. Belting of every varietv was everywhere. Some coats featured side belts, back belts and belts that peeked out from under pockets. They were shown m a profusion of soft colors-lemon, beige and off-white. They were also shown in pastel-checks and bold black and white square patterns. Curious! v. the "npw" spring silhouette that has emerged from the showings that wound ud today is one that a trio of lady designers has been turning out for years. They are Chanel, Mad eleine de ravel and Alix Gris. The spectator - SDorts look that has figured in every col lection from Dior down has been keeping customers at De Rauch's satisfied for sea sons. The casual suit, middv overblouse and ropes of pearls worn throughout the collec tions were trademarks of Coco" Chanel lone before the House of Dior opened its doors. The "discovery" that busts and waists and hips look pretty well as nature de signed them has meant bread and butter to Gris for longer than many male dressmakers have been in business. These leading ladies of the fashion world have always gone their own independent way. They have neither been influenced by Paris fashion fads nor designing artifices that distort the female form. They're not called pace-setters because they refuse to raise or lower hemlines just to increase sales. They dedi cate themselves to smartly dressing women who enjoy looking like women, and the customers always come back for more. So now that the more flamboyant male dress makers have returned to a natural silhouette the ladies are setting the pace. Cheese Club Sandwich Melt Vi pound sharp Ched dar cheese over a low gas flame.
