So with Christmas rolling around it might be a good idea : to help poor old Dad get his wardrobe in better shape. First and foremost get his correct size. You can do this through simple espionage since ' shirts, shoes and hats have the size plainly marked. Or you can come right out and ask al though it turns out a lot of men themselves don't know their sizes. Some shirt ideas: About 80 to 90 per cent of the male pop ulation prefers while shirts for business wear but stripes are cutting into this figure. Some thing new tiis year is Van Heusen's blend of 80 per cent dacron and 20 per cent cotton which has the luster of silk but is wash and wear. If it's stripes you want and they are for the college man and the young businessman Creighton docs a button down Oxford in a pale blue with red stripes, pale yellow with blue and light grey with black plus any other type of stripe you can think of on white background. Hal-Giving Easy Hat - giving is easy because almost every retailer issues gift certificates which enable a man to choose his own. Adam, a manufacturer, carries that one step further and sells a gift certificate that can he exchang ed in other cities. If you know the size and arc going to buy one anyway medium colors arc in, and the most popular arc center dent hats with pinch fronts. For leisure wear there is a checked Rex Harrison hat in American wool with full satin lining; a traditional Ivy League type cap in herringbone, glen plaids, checks and solids; Stet son has a Legionnaire ski cap in simulated leather trimmed in Astrakhan and a felt hat print ed in a plaid finish that makes it look like cloth; and for very 3 (ftljriattttas . . .

She also often had hair stylist Kenneth of New York fly down to do her spectacular coiffures for special ceremonial evenings. Other times she would put up her own hair with the help of her personal maid. But Mrs. Johnson apparently is not going to let her new fame as First Lady hem her in. She is taking the White House in her stride and still venturing forth into the city as she always has. The day the Johnsons moved into the While House, the First Lady slipped out in the after noon lo go to her favorite hair dresser, Jean Louis, who has been styling her hair for two vears. Nothing fancy, M r s. lohnson likes simple smooth hair styles with perhaps a little teasing. And Jean Louis thinks that she knows what suits her hest. He says her black hair is comb ed forward with no parting and not ton much bouffant teasing. As the Vice President's wife, Mrs. Johnson always came into his elrgant Connecticut Avenue shop like- any other customer and waited her turn. Like most women she liked to relax under the dryer, her hour or so away from a busy schedule. Always Well Groomed No matter what time of day she came in Jean Louis said that Mrs. Johnson always was extremely well groomed and "a true lady" very "considerate" of all those who do anything for her. The hairdresser said that Mrs. Johnson will continue to wear smart coiffures for daytime. For some of the big evenings at the While House he hopes to talk her into using an extra hair piece (or greater elegance. He said she likes that "nalural look" and is essentially "con servative" hut likes to be in the (ash ion.
