... -. - Sheath Dress Good Fashion For Shorties United Press International The sheath is a natural style for shorties, says An drew Arkin, a manufacturer who specializes in petite sizes. Because the sheath will be an important silhouette for fall, tie recommends that women five-feet, four-inches or under wear both sheath dresses and coats. Arkin shows full-length and seven eighths coats. Fall evening hats are a boon to women who usually can't find a style to wear. Easiest to wear are monk's caps, shown in white, black and col ored satin to match the gown. The caps are stiffened for shape. The "little black dress" has been replaced by dark stripes, checks, plaids, sombre pat terns and provincial prints for the transitional summer-into-fall season. Look for burn ished autumn shades, paisleys, and vivid Oriental colors. After all' the shortie .night gowns and bikini sleepwear, the "true" nightgown is back. It looks like granny's nightie long-sleeved, full length, ruffled, smocked and embroidered. In spite of the old-fashioned details, the gowns come in brushed, light weight cotton blended with nylon, Dacron andor Orion. Ponchos are popping up all over the loungewear and sleepwear scene. Formed as a circle or square that slips over the head, they top jump suits, pajamas, and tights. They also double as short robes or bed jackets. Women's Wear Daily, a trade publica tion, ' predicts the college crowd will be wearing pon chos all day. Styles include fringed or banded ' geometric prints, houndstooth patterns, flowered prints, and solid colors. Some come with matching bandanas or slim pants. .

By KEN HAKDT The 4th of July recalls many things . . . most important of all, the birth of our nation through the war of independence. It. is a day on which we cel ebrate our free dom, remember ing that it was not won easily . . . and it still d e m a nds our constant united effort to pre serve it. For many of us, the 4th also recalls other memories, of picnics, brass bands, patriotic speeches, and, of course, fireworks. Now adays the use of fireworks is more controlled than it was years ago, and there are fewer accidents. Bur some kinds of firecrackers are still dangerous things in inexperienced hands. And speaking of potentially dan gerous explosives brings up anoth er subject we've been meaning to mention, the matter of inflamma ble home cleaning fluids. Most of those now sold are gasoline or cleaners' naphtha. A pint has the explosive power of a pound of dynamite. The fumes alone are dangerous, and even the friction of rubbing a garment can cause a static spark that will make an in flammable fluid explode. So just as you're careful about your children playing with fire works, be careful with cleaning fluids. Let your dry cleaner clean your clothes . . . safely! Bring your garments in for the lowest cleaning cost ... or call us for pickup and delivery. BIG Y CLEANERS, 1928 Table Rock rd.. Phone SP 3-1919. S&H Green Stamps. " adv. Ls. Visitor To Speak For P.
