Yule Gifts Add to Pop's
By WALTER LOGAN i
United Press International I
NEW YORK (UPI) Most:
of the market surveys show the
man of the house on the short
end of the family clothing budg
et. 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

of fur hats ranging in price
from $4 or $5 (or take fur to

If it's sweaters you are think
ing of the two hottest items on
the market today are the al
paca golf cardigan and shaggy
mohair in slipover or cardigan
at prices ranging from roughly
$15 to $25. Robert Bruce makes
the Arnold Palmer sweater in
a wool-alpaca combination; Him

teams it with a contrasting tur

a ski-type pullover with clas

percd fold-away hood.
Outerwear
In the field of outerwear;
MacGregor makes matching
"His" and "Her" Swedish ar
gyle cardigans; a corduroy
campus or stadium coat with a
fringed wool plaid lining, and
something really new: a two-in-one

is a belted "suburban coat,"
inside is a quilted ski parka,
and they can be worn separate

front panels.

New First Lady Takes

WASHINGTON (UPI) - Most
first ladies of the past gave up
Ihc fun of shopping in Washing-
Ion and going to the hairdresser
after they moved into the White
House but Mrs. Lyndon B. John

their costumes from the New
York houses or by mail order
and the hairdresser would be
given a special pass to come

designer Oleg Cassini took care
of most of her wardrobe needs
when she designated him her
number one designer. 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.

It was not the bare stage

Classic
night and happier day that
followed.
For an hour-and-a-half they
laughed and mentally quoted re
membered passages, sometimes
wondering if they had missed
some of the pages, litlle realiz
ing that the actor had adapted
and arranged narration in true
Dickens' style to create con
tinuity. With Philip Hanson's "Com
pany o( One" presentation he
has revived a Christmas tradi
tion that has been fading in re
cent years. Time was when no
family Christmas Eve was com
plete without a few minutes at
the Cratchets' dinner table with
Bob and Tiny Tim.
Living Story
Scrooge has been recorded on
film and over the air by such
masters of English as Basil
Ralhbone, Ronald Coleman and
Lionel Barrymore but to Philip
Hanson should go the credit for
creating an authentic and living
story sucn as tne author him
self would certainly have ap
proved. Mr. Hanson's crimson
velvet jacket furnished a (lash
ing contrast to the sombre
stage backdrop and was a fo
cal point that compelled atten
tion to the ever-changing cast.
With Mr. Hanson's homecom
ing appearance in Ashland un
der sponsorship of the College
Commuters Club he completes
a world tour during which he
has presented more than 180
characters in seven plays. The
Dickens story was performed
last week in New York upon his
return from Saudi Arabia and
again Monday night at Hum
boldt Male College, California.
Ashland lays claim to Philip
Hanson as it was here that he
began his first serious Shakes
pearean drama a dozen years
ago. He and his wife, Suzanne
LaMarre Hanson, an actress
and writer, make their home
in Ashland and continue their
close affiliation with the Fes
tival and the Renaissance Insti
tute. After a holiday rest. Mr. Han
son will leave (or a one-man
