A decorative zipper func tions just like a plain one, but when zipped the teeth are hidden by a succession of rhinestones set in plastic squares. Spring is a season fashion devoted to bracelets. True bangles and those fitted cuffs and bracelets that wind round and round the arm are fash ion favorites. The accent is on bulk. As pants increase In popu larity and in prestige for re sort wear, the ensemble has greater potential, registering strongly in patterned cottons and silks.

Fashion's new opened-up "shoe with a view" exposes more and more of the stock inged-foot to view - and em phasizes the importance of corelating the stocking to the shoe in color, surface texture and in styling.

Her business is reproduc tions and adaptations of jd&Jj fine old pieces Gay Pauley of furniture, many of them worthy of mu seums; and some of the tools of her company's trade are chains, wire brushes, and nails of various sizes to provide a patina which wear would give, if given time. "It takes a skilled crafts man to distress a piece of furniture," said Mrs. Nathan of her "gang" of specialists who whale away with assort ed sizes of chains to put dents in proper places in a piece of wood. Antiquiing Methods The size of the chain de pends on the size of the dent the craftsman wants but the one I saw the day I toured this unusual factory in what once was a meat processing plant were series of loops about one inch in diameter. "Distressing" is the furni ture marker's term for giving a used, softened look to a new piece of wood. "The distressing can't be uniform," said Mrs. Nathan. "Scars and dents must go where the normal wear is on furniture. We sometimes nick the edges a little for added realism." The special wire brushes and nails produce the scratch es, and Mrs. Nathan said some reproducers use red hot nails to burn a worm-eaten look into wood. Her firm prefers in this case to use the real thing worm-eaten chestnut, which she said is increasingly rare because blight has killed sfjBjJeeefBflesejejHjQjCi LdtcjijM)SK Woman Representative Finds Tote Bag By PATRICIA WIGGINS United Press International Washington- IUPD -Rep. Jes sica Weis (R.-N.Y.) has dis covered that the model's trademark-a tote bag-is as useful to a Congresswoman as to a covergirl. As the attractive lady law maker describes it, her tote bag is the perfect answer for those occasions "when Con gress and outside engage ments run into each other." Into the bag each morning, if the daily schedule looks hectic, go a hat, white gloves, dress shoes, small purse and dress-up jewelry. Then if Speaker Sam Rayburn's gavel fails to fall in time for her to change at home for an eve ning appointment, the day is saved. What those tote bag eon tents are most likely to "dress up" in such an emergency is a light wool dress usually in blue or red, never black. Mrs. Weis prefers some what tailored wool dresses to see her through a legislative day. She wears a suit far less than do many of her feminine colleagues in the House. In the summertime, she chooses dark cottons, paired with a sweater with a self matching trim "to deal with varying degrees of air-condi- Club Plans Shower At Coming Meeting Sams Valley-A shower for Mrs. Dalton Straus is planned for a meeting of the Sams Valley Ladies club at 1:30 p.m. Thursday, March 3, at the home of Mrs. Tom Bogan- off, Perry road. .

The pseudo-signs of usage are added before the final hand-finishing. "Even there, we are adding to the aged look," said Mrs. Nathan, "be cause the old, hand finishes were not even." "I doubt," she added proud ly, "if they did it any better 200 years ago." ' Family of Specialists Mrs. Nathan, an energetic gray-haired woman with two daughters and two grand-chil dren, has been president of the firm, founded in 1856, since the death of her hus band in 1938. Now a fourth generation is on the staff her daughter, Rita. The firm specializes in re productions or adaptations which generally follow the silhouette of the old but may have been scaled upward in size or had some of the doo dads removed! of 18th cen tury English "the French is a little too fussy" to Mrs. Na than. And most of the reproduc tions are done from the actual antique, not a picture of Hep plewhite, Sheraton, Adam or Regency pieces. Many of these antiques which Mrs. Nathan and her family have collected through the years occupy the showrooms; others are in her Manhattan apartment. She explained that you get purer dimension and detail when you reproduce the ac tual furniture "better than a hundred photographs from all angles." A Nathan copy rarely is cheaper than its original, be cause she said today's labor costs and scarcity of skilled cabinet makers keep the prices high. Then why such a healthy business in reproductions? "Because," said Mrs. Na than, "some people don't like antiques; only the looks of them and the elegance they lend to a room." Useful tioning." Air conditioning in the capitol, one reason jok ingly attributed to the late summer sessions of Congress in recent years, often makes it winter-like inside despite 100 degree weather outside. Mrs. Weis admits that if she has any one "bug", in the clothes line it is hats. She's a hat 'fan despite the fact that she seldom wears them back home in Rochester, N.Y., and isn't allowed to on the House floor. She wears few accessories and chooses dressy dresses with uncluttered lines. Her evening wear "depends largely on the function." Most semi-official parties see her in a "simple" cocktail dress. But like most of Washington's women, Mrs. Weis has a "big gown" or two on hand for occasions that call for them. 1 PEO Chapters Slate Sessions Three chapters of the PEO Sisterhood have scheduled m e e ti n g s for the coming week.

Couple Convert Old Barn Into Unusual Residence By ROSE McKEE Washington Signs claim ing that "George Washington Slept Here" are not exactly uncommon in the mid-Atlantic seaboard states. However, one couple own a home of even more speci alized distinction in this Washington birthday month. They could claim: "George Washington's Horse Slept Here." Carl B. Harper, a retired Navy officer, and Mrs. Har per have transformed an old, big barn in nearby Virginia into a home with many inter esting features. These include a 12-foot fireplace chimney with a stairway inside it and a hidden door. Mrs. Harper hold the Na tional Association of Home Builders that when they moved in 27 years ago, she was informed that Washing ton quartered his horse in the barn on various occasions. She said she has no way of vouching for the legend but it could be true because the barn and an adjacent carriage house were on a tenant farm owned by Washington's life long friend, George Mason, the Revolutionary War period statesman. Moreover, the barn, she noted, was not far from a church of which Wash ington was vestryman. The le gend is that Washington left his horse in the barn when he went to church. Live in Haymow Ihe Harpers, who have two grown, children, live in what was one the his hav- mow of the old barn. The downstairs area in which horses and cows were sta bled and which still has the old wooden ness on whirh harnesses were hung, is their recreation room, garage and storage area. They have Dreserved the old wood of the barn but re- shingled the roof and en closed the buildinif in stone. The haymow now contains tneir second floor living rooms and thev have turned the upper part of the haymow into a tnird floor for bed rooms. The third floor has an un usual hanging balcony, all wood, copied from a French chateau. It is reached by an equally unusual drawbridge stairway. Mrs. Harper said that when the children were B. I - little, they often "drew up the stairway but not anymore." Her husband supervised the unique construction in their home. He is an MIT graduate with a master of science de gree in aeronautical engineer ing and, his friends say, "a genius in his field." He entered Naval aviation in 1918 and formerly was chief engineer at the Naval aircraft factory in Philadelphia. Among projects on which he worked was the conversion of what started out as a bat tleship into the first and old Lexington aircraft carrier. He retired in 1930 with the rank of lieutenant. Wooden Pegs Used - Harper said the walls of the old barn now the interior walls of the house w ere Norway pine brought from Europe in colonial days. The boards are 12 inches wide and an inch thick. He noted, too, that the old barn was held to gether by wooden pegs except for hand-made nails used in the roofing. In re-doing the barn, he used matching wood through out. There is no plaster or wallpaper. Floor boards are old timber from another farm building. Some wood in the house came from an old tobacco barn. The Harpers' huge living room once had a big door through which haywagons were driven to be unloaded and the hay stored. The door has been closed up. The eye catcher of the room today is the immense fireplace with its 12-foot chimney of flag stone, which Harper had built. The hidden door, of stone and concrete in a steel frame, is on one side of the fireplace. It swings open to a stairway to the first floor recreation room. When the children were little, Santa made his entrance through this fire place door. Mrs. Harper enjoys the fabulous home, which is heat ed by a furnace, fireplace, gas and electricity. But, she said smilingly, "Cleaning it is like taking a toothbrush to an elephant." When pressing a hemline, place a piece of heavy wrap ping paper between the hem and the garment to avoid ridges on the outside. j0M f F Downtown Medford J saw, SET. For the'Smart Traveler!

The first spray-on perfume was marketed in 1946, but was not successful because the container was not as at tractive as fancy glass bottles. And the cost was high. Then in 1954, two aerosol colognes were marketed and caught on. In 1959, spray-on scents ac counted for $85 million in sales, reported Chemical Week. That was 77 per cent of the S110 million yearly fragrance market New York-IUPD-The vogue in floor and wall coatings these days is toward multi color lacquers. The trick in production is to get the vari ous hues on so that they keep their individual identities without muddying each other. Here s how it's done "Lacquer particles are dis persed in water," explained B. F. Ames, sales manager of Maas and Waldstein, a firm that makes such paints. "Each particle, containing special solvents, is surround ed by a protective colloid, so the lacquer looks like colored rice particles floating in water."
