The show will be juried by James McGarrell, artist in residence at Reed college; Lion Cub Attraction For Show By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor Dallas, Texas UPD- It used to be that children stole the scenes from the adults at a fashion show. Tedayj it's the animals taking the scenes from the children. A lion cub named Susie, an out and out ham at three months of age, wobbled down a runway at the closing day of shows sponsored annually by the Dallas Manufacturers Fashion center The children didn't have much chance after Susie, owned ' by a Dallas trainer named Carl James, appeared, although the little darlings wore some of the prettiest frocks the Dallas market has produced in its nine years of shows for the nation's fashion press. Susie wore a garland of red and white flowers-and helped to introduce a collection of clothes full of pinafores and frills for small "social lion esses." The inspiration for Susie's act came from Facho, one of the Dallas firms which sell children's clothes coast to coast. The firm copied adult fash ions by putting small girls into gingham checks, florals or all white for summer. Most practical dresses from a pa rental point of view were the wrap-arounds in white pique, easy for the child to put oh, easy for mother to if on. Less practical,, but bound to please a child at Easter or at a party, were dresses in pastel batiste with 40 yards of lace half inch frilled into a series of V-shaped panels around the skirt. Betty Terrell, remembering the days when to "be good" meant a treat at the ice cream parlor, . produced a whole group of "confection", clothes dresses, sun dresses, one piece sun-suits, shorts and shirts ap pliqued with replicas of ice cream cones, sodas and sun daes: One sun-suit came with matching, detachable bib for the toddler who wants to have his ice cream and drool it too. Most dresses for little girls came with full, gathered skirts and stacks of petticoats under neath, although there were a few with long torso top, knife1 pleated skirt and middie col lar. till Highway 99 Central Exhibit Reception Andrew Vincent, Eugene, painter and professor of art at the University of Oregon and Dr. Francis J.
