The stores are full of such as these ... Dan River, famous for their plaids and ginghams, have wonderful color combinations that look so right in crisp play clothes and summer dresses. A divinely soft fabric called Ponemah Spoven is lovely for summer clothes that keep you cool and fresh looking. Concordia-Gallia have a crush resistant fabric called “Tangelo.” This material makes slacks, suits and summer sportswear look crisp and well tailored and the color range is terrific. These fabrics can be found in clothes that suit your budget so here’s looking forward to a bright gay summer!!! ANN SHERIDAN, that red-haired beauty, apparently doesn’t believe in the maxim, “Redheads shouldn’t wear red.” She has decorated her new portable dressing room and the walls, lamp shades, rug and curtains are in deep crimson hue. If you’re a redhead you might try a red or pink dress on the next time you’re shopping. Never can tell, it might be the perfect color foi you. YOU’LL SEE more and more wonderful sun-back dresses this summer. Most of them come with a jacket or bolero that makes them cool and right for an office or while traveling to the beach. Low cut backless bras or strapless bras and petti-skirts (half a slip) are the perfect undergarments for this type of dress. HOLLYWOOD MOTHER GOOSE Buy, buy lady bunting, The stars have been a-hunting, They’ve found a pretty garment thin To wrap that lovely body in. HAVE three or four pairs of white shorty gloves in your summer wardrobe. You’ll need that many, for each day you will want a fresh pair to complete that “bandbox” look. Tuck sachet in between the gloves and dust a little bit down in the fingers while they’re still damp. You’ll really start the day right when you slip them 6i». ACCESSORIZE your new summer clothes with a smart hat and matching bag like this set designed by Everitt. Made of a cool straw fabric, the hat is trimmed with yam. The bag has a spring closing, which eliminates buttons or snaps. Hat is $3.95 and matching bag $5.00. DON’T THINK that pleated skirts, fashion’s newest look, are not flattering to large hips. Pleats are very flattering on the larger girl if they are stitched down from waist to hip bone. TUCK A LITTLE half veil, that just covers your eyes, under the brim of your summer hat. It’s the newest look in veils and especially good in a rather wide apart and stiff veiling. Try lace on a flowered head band instead of veiling, for a glamorous afterdark chapeau. WHAT TO DO with sunburn cream, sun glasses, etc. for that day at the beach? Well, your problem is solved with these water resistant bags by U. S. Rubber Co. They’re big and roomy and so easy to clean by wiping with a damp cloth. They come in wonderful colors. The bathing cap, a new version of the flattening helmet, really fits and keeps your hair dry.
