"We look Gay Panley on the charge account as an educational tool to help teach the proper use of credit. After all, credit is nothing more than integrity Like a budget. Or an allow ance." irotto explained that as early as 1948 some states ex perimented with teen credit plans, and the number has expanded steadily although NRMA has no accurate total New York Navy is back and bigger than ever this spring.

It uses helicopters. The 'copters unload dia monds, pearl necklaces, and sterling silver at parking lots adjacent to the branch stores. Complete frozen dinners in single-serving size feature creamed chicken, swiss steak with brown gravy, and maca roni and cheese as entries. Whipped potatoes and peas go with the chicken, whip ped potatoes and green beans with the steak, and diced glazed carrots and peas with the meatless meal. Maine's leading lobster ports are Portland, Rockland, Southwest Harbor, Stonington and Jonesport V'S-i?- ;i;?i;-:l p - : of the number. However, Seventeen Maga zine last March mailed a ques tionnaire on the subject to a representative group of stores in 48 states. Of the 264 stores which replied, 12 per cent of fered credit to teens but had no specific program; another 20 per cent had a separate plan. Plan names included "Teen Time," "JPA" Junior Person al Account, "Tab" Teen-Age Budget, "Keen Teen," and "16-21 Club." Also Found The study also found that: -The median age for eligi bility was between 14 and 15, with some stores permitting charges for 12 yearolds, and most setting the top limit at 20. -Most popular type of cre dit offered was the revolving, regular 30-day charge. -Many stores applied a dol lar limit to the amount charg ed, the median set at S30. -Most stores reported teen agers as honest as adults, with few bad debt losses. -Most stores considered the accounts successful. -The majority of stores re quire parental approval be fore opening the account, but most do not require parents to guarantee payment. Parental reaction has been good to excellent. Other Comments , The magazine said store comments included: "A wonderful good will builder." "Today's teen-ager is tomor row's housewife and-or family head; schmaltzy but true." "Losses ran rather high un til we insisted on parents co signing." Trotta said, however, that stores now were getting away from requiring parents to co- sign, because teeners want to feel that they are adult enough to take responsibility for paying their debts out of allowances and-or earnings. Stores do feel that parents should know a youngster has a charge. The NRMA executive, fath er of two teen-age daughters who have charge accounts, said that girls mostly use the credit plans, "boys seem less concerned." He added that "women do most of the buying in .this country today, and these teen agers awfully soon are Mrs. Somebody. I believe govern ment statistics show that 50 per cent of our female popula tion marries in its teens."

And this season the designers seem more creative than ever, the moods ranging from, classic elegance to the tongue-in-cheek fun. The fresh fashion news in shoe styles centers on novelty heels that sent eyebrows soar ing at the showings in Rome and Florence. Imaginative Italian designers used every thing from metal rings to hour glasses to produce some of the most exotic shoes since 16th century Italian nobles donned platform stilts. There are heels of sculptured white plastic inset with gems, three pronged jeweled towers of glittering metal, arid even heels that seem to be resting on thin air their slim sup port of a steel tongue built into the . sole of the shoe and extending downwards under the instep. Buttons Return Other news from Rome headlines the return of the old-fashioned . shoe button. Rows of tiny black nubbins or white flat pearls are used to trim dress pumps and slip pers. ' But Fontana and other ma jor designers who look to the American market are using their talents" for far more than conversation pieces - at haut couture collections. The slen der pump with its tapered heel and pointed toe is still the favorite Italian contribu tion to our return to elegance in footwear. Fontana deftly uses peak tongues, gilt scrol ling, and eyelet scallops to provide a new look to her graceful dressmaker pumps. Fontana uses two-inch heels for daytime, three inches for cocktails, and up to three and one-half inches for evening wear. Other Italian designers are offering extravagant four inch heels on handmade dress pumps now being shown in suede, .matte-finish kW7 or luxurious calf. The slightly oval toe, another Italian pace setter, is being seen more and more this season. Of course, at the present MATERNITY FASHIONS SKIRTS - TOPS DRESSES A Fine Very Biggest Clothes Race Opening By PAT HERMAN United Prasi International Paris - (DPS - The world's biggest clothes - horse race started here Monday. The week-long marathon is known more conventionally as the showing of the spring and summer Paris dress col lections by the world's top dressmakers. Lucy Manguin .will start the showings. She will be followed by dressmakers Jacques - Griffe, Jean Patou, Gres and Pierre Cardin. On Tuesday come Pierre Balmain, Jacques Heim and Nina Ricci. The heat and excitement will ' build up until Wednes day when the House of Dior puts its entries on display. Usually this house shows on Thursday. By presenting its entries a day earlier it has stepped up the tempo here to a feverish pace. Among those to follow the Dior entries will be Guy La Roche, Madeleine de Rauch and Michel Gomanon Thurs day, and Jean Dressess, Lan-vin-Castillo and Chanel on Friday. Independent - minded dress makers Balenciaga and Gi venchy will show on Monday. Most fashion experts pre dict a skirt length similar to last year's and a silhouette not drastically different from last season's Princess silhou ette, but more supple. The mighty House of Dior was tightlipped about reveal ing anything other than the time of its presentation. Manguin also maintained a silence on her entries. Here is a rundown on some of the others: . Griffe: A long, supple line. Longer suit jackets worn with accompanying blouses. Light weight fabrics. Shoulders slightly widened. Hips ac centuated. Navy blue and mandarine orange favorite colors. Patou: Dresses with normal waistline and shoulders but elongated torso. Suits with little short or long below the American tempo, elegance is not the only thing a busy woman is concerned with in accumulating her shoe ward robe. She is far more interest ed in comfort during what is mistakenly referred to as her "leisure" . hours. Here again Italian craftsmen pro vide the answer. Those won derful casuals, supple as cir cus aerialists, light as bal loons are now classics on this side of the Atlantic. For a day of shopping, Salvatore Ferragamo's low heeled envelope pumps are as flattering to a tailored cus- tume as they are impervious to mileage. So are the glove like Amalfis with their high vamp and trim side lacing. Stacked leather heels are important in casuals, varied by little heels in the shape of a tear drop or even a dia mond. Toes are squared away and sometimes snub. High rising tongues are trimmed with straps, buckles, or metal rings. One popular import by Freddelle of Italy is dubbed a turtleneck. It hugs the foot with an elastic cuff. Suede is the favorite for the tweed and cashmere set, especially with those rich fall colors ranging through the tobacco shades to russet, olive green, gold, and flamingo. Calf and textured leather are shown. Guests Here Mr. and Mrs. Doyle B. Starcher were guests briefly last week of Mr. Starcher's brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Bren H.
