Sixth Sense on Clothes Good Sense, Say Experts By GAY PAULEY UPI Woman's Editor New York - (UPD - The sixth sense which makes a woman well-dressed turns out to be just good sense. The good sense to choose the classics of de sign and skip the fads, says one group of of experts. . For there is permanence to Gy PanJey lasnion, even though some of us doubting Thomases doubted it after the quick rise and fall of the sack. The H. W. Gossard com pany does a continuing study of fashion trends because, it explains, what goes under neath is shaped by what's out side. It points to the shirt waist, having a grand revival this year, as one of the classics of which it speaks. Its re searchers traced it to around 1670 in Europe, when the girls copied the buttoned - front style of men's riding habits. A look at the shirtwaist's "family tree" shows it as a hunting dress in 1887, as the street costume for the Gib son girl era of 1895, as a tennis costume in 1915, and as revived in 1952 by designer Anne Fogarty, who put num erous starchy petticoats under its full skirt. Car Coat Latest Classic - Other classics the research ers listed were the cashmere polo coat, sweaters and skirts, and the newest - the car coat. In accessories, they listed loaf ers for casual wear, white gloves and pearl necklaces. They predict that fall, 1959, will be "a big classic season" because, according to many buyers, everybody is tired of new ideas that are old hat in a few months. The customer begins to lose faith. How to tell a fashion from a fad? "The fad usually is a little zany," said Gossard research ers. "It is easily copied and easily wears out. Fads are for fun, but not for fashion keeps." Flattering and Comfortable You can tell whether the new will last by asking your self whether it is flattering to most women, whether it has a family tree or "did it blossom overnight?" and whether it is comfortable to wear. To help in the detection, the researchers drew up a list of 16 clothing items and ask you to label each as fad or fashion. No, prizes just the fun of testing how style-wise you are. The items: 1. Leotard stockings, 2. Shirtwaist, 3. Waist cincher, 4. Plastic shoes, 5. Racoon coat, 6. Vest, 7, Headache band, 8. Princess style coat, 9. Twin sweaters, 10. Polo coat, 11. Troiiser dinner suit, 12. Box jacket suit, 13. Pierced-ear earrings, 14. Tap ered slacks and shirt, 15. Car coat, and 16. Chanel suit. Gossard listed numbers 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 11 and 13 as fads; the rest as classics. Pianist Slated On KYJC Program The Czech-born pianist, Ru dolf Firkusny, will be the soloist with the Cleveland orchestra on the KYJC-CBS Radio broadcast Sunday, April 26 at 10:05-11 a.m. (PDT). He will play the Mo zart "Concert for Piano and Orchestra in E flat major" (K. 271). George Szell will direct. Mr. Firkusny played the same Concerto with the Cleve land Orchestra recently in Carnegie hall and, following the concert, the New York Herald Tribune commented: ". . . Messrs. Szell and Firkus ny were engaged in an ani mated musical conversation . . . Every question by the Orchestra elicited an immedi ate answer from the piano every accent had just the right shade, whether played by the oboe or the piano, and every melody was turned on a lathe:" Mr. Firkusny became an American citizen six years ago and resides near Staats burg, N.Y. This spring, follow ing his 16th American concert season, he will perform in Australia. Dr. Szell will close the pro gram with the Prelude and Love-Death from "Tristan and Isolde" by Wagner. The Cleveland orchestra concerts from Severance hall are broadcast with the coop eration and through the facili ties of station WGAR in Cleveland, Ohio.

By HELEN BUECHL Scienct Service Staff Writer Washington - There is bad news for women today. The wide variety of lipstick colors now available will dwindle rapidly if today's proposed order of the Food and Drug administration is finally issued. The order concerns 17 coal tar colors that are used prin cipally in lipsticks. The FDA order would remove these colors from the approved list of substances that can be freely used in the manufac ture of drugs and cosmetics. Laboratory tests have shown that these colors can not be certified as harmless for unrestricted use in prod ucts intended for internal con sumption. This includes lip stick, which, in normal use, may enter the digestive tract of women and men. In addition to the order to stop using the 17 colors, FDA proposed an order, to ban the use of stocks of these colors. Thus, manufacturers would be prevented from making new batches of these colors for products that would even tually enter the digestive sys tem, John L. Harvey, deputy commissioner of food and drugs, explained. The proposed orders would not affect the finished prod uct, however. Lipsticks al ready produced and those on cosmetic counter shelves could still be sold. Only stocks of the colors already made but not in finished products would be affected. FDA has not received any reports of injury to users of lipsticks or drugs or foods made with coal - tar colors being considered. ' j But under the law as re cently interpreted by the Su preme Court, the FDA can not set the amounts of coal tar colors to be used in foods, drugs and cosmetics. There fore, the agency cannot list and certify the safety of col ors for unrestricted use unless they are found to be complete ly harmless, the deputy com missioner added.

Exten sive reseai:h in this field may produce safer substitutes. Meanwhile, 21 red colors re main unaffected by this order. The FDA order has invited comments from industry and interested persons. These com ments will be reviewed and considered before a fiaal or der is drafted. 4 Italian Prince Escorts Princess Rome - (CPU - Princess Mar garet has added a new and handsome prince to her list of admirers during her Roman tour Prince Henry of Hesse, an artist and cousin of former King Umberto of Italy. The prince, 31, has accom panied Margaret on many of her excursions around the Italian capital and was to be present today when she is en tertained at the home of Roman Nobleman Prince Co lonna.

He was at her side Friday afternoon during her visit to St. Peter's Basilica in the Vati can and afterward served cocktails in his apartment to Margaret, her friend, Judy Montagu, and her lady-in-waiting.
