Allison Hardy, a press attache
with the Canadian embassy.
Mrs. Kennedy has been
named the "world's best
dressed woman" and the
neighbors to the north are
waiting to see for themselves.
The White House has re
leased the details of the chic
designs, all by Mrs. Kennedy's
couturier, Oleg Cassini, for
the Canadian trip.
For travel the five foot
seven Mrs. Kennedy will
wear a light-weight navy blue
wool sheath dress with cap
sleeves and a bateau neckline.
Because the weather is ex
pected to be cool, she also
will wear a matching double
breasted wool coat with a low
belt, deep patch pockets and
three-quarter length sleeves.
At her first big formal ap
pearance, the governor gen
eral's dinner and reception,
May 16,, the president's 31-year-old
wife has picked her
favorite evening color, white.
' Her long evening gown of
heavy white silk will have a
slim skirt and a sleeveless
belted overblouse. The neck
line and the hem will be en
crusted with white beads and
brilliants.
The following day, the first
lady has chosen a beige otto
man silk, two-piece frock to
wear to the prime minister's
luncheon..- Again the over
blouse will be sleeveless with
a bateau neckline, and a
slightly flared skirt with a
deep ' pleat on either side.
When the Canadians see this
outfit, they will be seeing the
look that has become the 123-
pound first lady's trademark.
Along with the beige dress,
Mrs. Kennedy will be wearing
a matching silk double breast
ed coat with low pockets and
three-quarter length sleeves.
For President 1 and Mrs.
Kennedy's return dinner in
honor of their hosts, at the
American embassy, the first
lady will wear a pink ribbed,
silk organza long sleeveless
evening gown with a bateau
neckline. The flared skirt has
three tiers of deep ruffles
moving up from the hemline.
She also will wear match
ing pink stole.;.

few compensations for having
