The direction now seems to ward natural clothes, unaf fected clothes, to fit today's way of living." "We are not the 'mannered society' we once were," she continued. "Nobody leans against a mantelpiece, posed "I think housing trends and clothing go together," she said. "Both are a manner of living. And the trend now is to Informality. "Closets influence me strongly in design. You can't do intricate, what I call tor tured garments today. They have to be stored in big closets, and who has them? "Because closets are small, I make clothes that can fold. This means they also travel well. Take the Poncho, a Cashin trademark. You can store it anywhere." Robert Riey, design con sultant at the Brooklyn Mu seum, recently wrote of Miss Cashin, after the museum honored her with a retrospec tive exhibition of her designs: "Her most distinctive gar ments are cut without seamed shaping, flat as a Japanese kimono. The plane geometry of her ponchos, togas, man tles and shifts has become the signature of her belief in the simple mobility of her clothes." Now, Sports Illustrated Magazine has named her the designer of 1963, adding an other award to a list which already includes two from the New York fashion critics and a citation from the Philadel phia Museum college.

The theme of the dance was "Moon River" and the committee had designed a "river" in a bed of foil. Water had been placed in the "river" and with the addition of dry ice, vapor was supposed to float up and create a misty atmosphere around the orchestra plat form. Alas, 50 pounds of dry ice had been sent instead of the 20 ordered, and when it was added to the "river" the whole thing froze. Miss Beacham reported that although no dreamy atmosphere was created for the dancers, the men of the orchestra enjoyed the evening very much since they were comfortably cool rather than too warm as is often the case, A moon made from glass and tinfoil and large murals painted by the committee and hung back of the orchestra turned out to be effective and helped create a convincing "Moon River" atmosphere.
