Instructions Should Be
Read on Washable Fabrics
The word "washable" means
much more today than it has
in the past, according to Mrs.
Lee Sheehan, extension home
economist. There was a time
when only sturdy household
materials went into the regu
lar wash, Mrs. Sheehan points
out. Anything the least bit del
icate was painstakingly hand
washed.
Today you don't have to

Italians
Launch
Knickers
United Press International
Florence, Italy lliPl) - Italian
fashion designers have decid
ed they'd better leave the
hemline of the Bikini where
11 is, and have gone out on an
entirely different limb.
They launched knickers and
bell-bottom trousers for casual
and lounge wear during the
coming seasons.
Baldini of St. Marghcrita
Ligure on the Italian Riviera
made Ihe knickers in silk
plaids. The colors were blues
and greens.
They were true knicker
style, closing with a single
button just underneath the
knee.
They were worn with match
ing shirts.
The knickers cropped up
again in the collection pre
sented by Falconetto of Milan.
He designed a pair of black
velvet with a knitted over
blouse in orange, pink, yel
low and black horizontal
stripes.
Falconetto also made the
bell-bottom trousers. These, in
a pale pink printed with clust
ers of green and gold flowers,
were modeled by an excep
tionally tall mannequin and
managed to make them look
quite different from those
worn by American sailors.
But the style was exactly the
same.
First reaction. Short girls
should avoid them,
One new trend apparent
throughout the boutique and
sportswear collection shown
on the first of this cily's six
fashion days was the use of
overblouscs and sweaters al
most as long as the three
quarters coals of other sea
sons. Shaped to the body but
not clinging these tops some
times extended two or three
inches below the hipline.
Most predominant colors
were pink, orange, yellow and
white. Varying tones of pink
and orange often were used
together In a combination
which is fast becoming a sum
mer tradition with Italian de
signers. Knits were prevalent. They
wero made in blouses, jackets.
sheath drosses and full-length
summer coats.
There were many ribbon
knits.
Nucci made some p 1 a y
clothes Turkish in mood
bright blue or pink pullover
shirts worn with a matching
for squashed in the front.
Burlap was used by Valdi
leverc of Florence to make
(ringed Bermuda shorts with
a matching jerkln-lop.
Do Simone of Naples show
d one sarong, made in a
white cotton splashed Willi
black. He also designed some
unusual dresses in white cot
ton with large green, pink
or blue checks. These were
ade like old-time bakers'
smocks and the models car
ried oulsue briefcases in
macthing materials. The ef
fect was eye-catching.
The Bikinis were brief but
no briefer than last seaon's.
They were shown with cover

ing a meeting last week at which Mrs. A. C.
Lewis (right) a past president of the Phoenix
Garden club, instructed in the drying and
pressing of flowers. Pictured with Mrs.

finishes are making more and
more items washable. With
new washers and new suds the
lion's share of these can be
laundered in a washer.
"Washability is no longer a
question of will-it-or-won t-lt
it's a question of method. One
dress or blouse may go into
the very hottest water with
no fear of damage. Another
of a different fabric or color
may demand a much milder
temperature. Some curtains
take kindly to bleach-others
with a different finish turn
lemon yellow.
"Obviously the mere word
'washable' on a label means
very little unless it's bolstered
with specific washing instruc
tions." Remove Gray Look
By a processing called
"stripping" you can remove
that grayed look that some
limes happens to clothes, the
home economist says. Old soap
curd sometimes accumulates
in clothes and causes a gray
wash. Use warm water and
one tablespoon of water soft-
oner for each gallon of water.
Agilate the clothes for 8 to 10
minutes and rinse as for a reg
ular wash. This will help to
restore your clothes to their
original whiteness.
Even if you do not have an
automatic washer which re
duces the speed of the agitator
for more delicate fabrics, you
can use it for your nylons.
The secret? Invest in some
knitted nylon bags that have
heavy snap fasteners at the
top. Let your nylon lingerie
soak in these bags in your
washer for 5 to 10 minutes
Then set the agitator for a
3-minule cycle.
The thorough rinsing action
of the automatic washers does
get soap suds out, which
means your things will stay
white longer. A soak in a sod
ium perborate solution before
washing will protect that
whiteness also.
Washable leather gloves
will dry softer if rolled for a
minute in a slightly moist ter
ry towel after they have been
washed.

Pharmacy Phacts
From GENE WESTLAND
From lime to time we're asked
about drug manufacturing. Many
oeople are surprised to find that
p h a i m j ceutical
houses as a matter
of general practice
produce many
drugs which have
an cxtfemcty small
potential sale.
Their real question
in cases like this
is the purely hu
manitarian one of
the need of the drug whcie cure
or prevention is possible. It's inter
eting to note that all drugs have
to prove their worth, whether they
be foT common or rarely heard of
diseases. Only those which are
proved' are carried on our shelves.

His and Her Haircuts Now
Available in New York City
By GAY PAULEY
UPI Women's Editor
New York UPH Now, cou
ples can get "his" and "her"
haircuts.

"hers" aren't
exact copies.
It's just that

Gay Pauley what the
neighborhood barber produces
and ask Bernard to help their
husbands to more becoming
trims.
Bernard said it all began
with a couple of actress-customers,
Patricia Medina and
Kitty Carlisle.
Miss Medina came to Beri
nard when she finally decid
ed to shorten her long should
er bob. He cut her locks to
ear lobe length and gave the
whole hairdo a rounded look.
Miss Medina promptly asked
if he also would reslyle the
haircut of her husband, actor
Joseph Cotten, when he re
turned frow the West Coast.
"I'll give him a blunted,
short on the sides trim," said
Bernard. "He has a strong
jaw. It should be played up."
Miss Carlisle also got an
ear lobe bob and tapped Ber
nard on the possibilities of
improving the haircut of hus
band Moss Hart.
"His haircut is perfect as
is," said Bernard. "I just told
him to bring out more of the
silver."
The hairdresser, born in
Britain but now an American
citizen, started his career as
hairdresser and makeup artist
in the theater in London and
New York. He soon will take
over as general director of
salons for a leading cosmetics
firm.
Bernard said that his pres
ent shop does not cater to the
masculine trade but "when a
wife asks me for help, I'll
consult with her husband.
After all. a man's hair should
flatter his features just as a
woman's should hers. This
does not retract from his
masculinity."
The crew cut for instance
is not for every male. Ber
nard said it is most becoming
to the man with a square
face and small nose.
A long lean face would call
for hair a little longer and
fuller at the sides than the
standard cut. The man with a

Tryouts
Announced
Two plays are under
consideration by Footlightcrs,
Medford little theater group.
They are "Born Yesterday"
and "Glass Menagerie."
Tryouts for the first were
held earlier this month, but
an insufficient number of per
sons made it impossible to cast
the play. Tryouts will again
be held Wednesday, January
25, at 7:30 p.m. in the Foot
lighters' theater, back of the
Armory.
Glen Foster, new director
for the group, urges all per

whichever play is phosen, or
