Economical, Time-Saving
Dishes Are Holiday Need
With the coming of Christmas
festivities, weekday family din
ners become the budget-stretching
kind. Holidays are busy
times too, with extra social
events and shopping tours, so
that "one hour in the kitchen"
must take care of everything.
What then are economical
dishes, or dishes that are time
saving

Sigma Phi sorority revealed the
identity of their "secret sis
ters" wilh an exchange of gifts
at an annual Christmas party
held December 10, at the home
of Mrs. Stephen Nye, chapter
sponsor.
: Instead of the usual "to" and
'"from" cards that accompany
gifts, this year each member
put "clues" on the outside of
the package. A playing card
identified the package for the
"president, Mrs. Richard Card,
and another gift was labeled,
"To a gal who's always flying
high." This was for Mrs. Clin
ton Neelcy, who has taken
flying up as a hobby.
Names for next year's secret
listers were drawn: each name
was in a small Christmas ornament.

A new answer to dandruff

ardess didn't. In the old days,
a tlygirl s outlit closely resem
bled a burlap sack with wings
attached. More recently, the
uniforms generally carried a
military air with too much se
verityand in most cases, not
much room for movement.
But for the last two or three
years, the airlines have been
turning to top fashion designers
for new stewardess outfits. Hol
lywood's Edith Head designed
Delta's. Raymond Locwy did
TWA's and Air France's were
the product of Christian Dior.1
Oleg Cassini was commissioned
to .create National's new uni
forms. Deciding to change the girls'
working clothes seems to be as
big a task as figuring out what
new planes to buy. Western,
another carrier which recently
changed uniforms, considered
20 designs and took 15 months
to make up its corporate
mind.
ino Ideas
Frontier decided to let ils
own stewardesses design their
uniforms. It asked its 100 girls
for suggestions and nulurally
got back 100 different ideas.
The airline took the three best
designs and let the stewardess
es vote their choice.
United, the nation's biggest
carrier, was the latest to re
outfit its stewardess corps, a
decision affecting more than 2.
300 young ladies. Exempting
the armed forces, that adds up
to the biggest uniform change
over in the United States and
one costing more than $500,000
for design and manufacture.
Unilcd's move was prompted
by the same motives of other
airlines to keep up wilh fash
ion developments, hand the
girls a morale booster, and give
passengers something new to
look at.
There also was the clement
of complaints from the steward
esses themselves. The gripes
were unofficial but they largely
centered around the tendency of
the old winter uniforms which
dated back to 1957 to spot or
get dirty too easily. They also
were hard to work in, because
the rather tight design was
binding on arm movements.
Roberta Conahan, UAL's pur
chasing agent, diplomatically
says the girls "showed only the
normal dissatisfaction of any
women wearing the same
clothes for any considerable pe
riod of time." But she concedes
that while stewardesses never
were formally consulted on new
uniforms, the views they had
expressed to supervisors gave
United a pretty good idea of
what thev wanted.
'Wanted Blue
For example, UAL knew
from the start that the steward
esses wanted blue outfits in-
D 11
stead of the old beige, they
wanted a looser-fitting garment,
they wanted a material that re
sisted spots and dirts, but they
wanted to retain the old style
hat. All these wishes were
translated into realitv when

three blouses, hat and topcoat.
Each, stewardess' share was
about $80. A stewardess of brief
tenure who had bought the old
beige uniform only recently
was given a discount, the size
depending on when she began
flying.
United's girls came up with
a fine gesture when the bcige-to-bluc
change was affected.
They donated their old uni
forms to the Doolcy Foundation,
which is distributing them to
Southeast Asia orphans.
United hopes it has planned
against any contingencies, such
as the emergency encountered
by British Overseas Airways
Corp. (BOAC). BOAC equipped
its gals wilh new uniforms a bit
tighter than usual. From the
standpoint of pulchritude, no
body complained. But there is
a law of physics which says
things expand at high altitudes
including waists.
BOAC had to order new skirts
with an clastic side panel and
a two-button waist adjuster.
rum, slavery, whaling, Indian
trading and questionable deal
ings came to its final disbutsc
mcnt in 1052 when 119 persons
wore recipients of the ill famed
Hetty Green millions. The story
is a pitiful and shocking account
full of statistics and details.
The author traces the How
land family from 1624 through
the centuries, painting a pic
ture of perjury and pernurious
ncss climaxed by thhe bizarre
Hetty and her son and daughter,
whom she ruled and ruined.
More than $100 million was dis
bursed on "The Day They Shoo!;
the Plum Tree."
The selected subject was giv
en by Mrs. Osgood who showed
colored slides of Europe, most
ly in Bavaria, whore her son-in-law
and daughter, Mr. and Mrs.
Gerald Rice, vacationed while
stationed in Germany with the
U. S. Army. Fertile valleys,
clean villages, towering moun
tains and fairy-like castles were
among the scenes shared. The
young couple also visited Eng
land and Scotland, where Mrs.
Osgood was born and lived as a
child.
Mrs. Bess Sommer conduct
ed the mcetir..; and at the close
of the afternoon the hostess
served tea before the fireplace.
Now the girls are happier but
the passengers occasionally
may yearn for the good old
days.
