Page 12 THE fashion New BY NANCY GAYLORD FASHION CONSULTANT TO THE 160 SINGER CENTERS IN CANADA. Out goes the Granny and in comes the pant suit...so says Daniel Hechter, handsome 27- year-old designer from Paris. Daniel thinks women should look feminine, however. Sound like a contradiction? Not at all! The pale color and soft line of the jacket gives the trouser suit feminine flourish. There's a trick to sewing pants that fit. Sit in a hard chair, measure at side in a straight line from waist to chair seat. Add one inch and that is the measurement your pattern should be from waist to crotch in a straight: line at the side. Adjust by folding or cutting and spreading the pattern on the alteration line. Shorten or lengthen the back by the same amount. Steel yourself! The lowly steel wool, handy kitchen 'helper, has magnificent ambitions. It's go- ing into high fashion. That's the word from an American firm. When stainless steel. is blended into a fabric, even in minute quantities, the fabric becomes permanently static-free, eliminating pilling. The knights of old soon will have nothing on us with their chain armor. What's a Sin dress? It's the new in word for cocktail dress. One of the most innocent-as-a- lamb Sin dresses I've seen was silky, snow-white cotton, high, high waisted with a_ gently gathered skirt ending in see- through eyelet two inches above the knee. Easy to make yourself with the bordered eyelet fabrics available for summer brides. Are you slim and under 30? Then get with it! Shorten those skirts to at least an inch above the knee, and anywhere up to four inches above if your knees are delicate and dimpled. With this new emphasis, wear shoes strappy, cut-out and baring... very low heeled for a leggy look. Because of the tiny distance between hem and waist pro- duced by soaring hemlines, your hem turn-up should be no more than 1% inches. Any wider hem will look out of proportion. Have a friend check that your hem is the same distance from the floor all around, while you wear the proper shoes. I find men are good at this because they are so exact. Do you buy or sew your clothes? Whichever you do,' you're concerned with obtaining clothes that spell quality at a reasonable price. What marks the 'quality look'? 1. Good fabric in 2. A fashionable and flattering color. 3. Notions -- Are buttons, zip- per and trim good looking and well applied? are they suited to the garment in de- sign and color? . Finishing: Is the hem straight on you? Is it the proper length and unnoticeable? . Are there linings and inter- facings where strain will occur and where body is required? Sometimes a change of but- tons will transform a garment's appearance. If your budget is limited, restrict your choice to a simple, well cut garment without trim. Prices include the high cost of labor and materials required to apply trim such as_ fancy braids. Sometimes, by remov- ing fancy buttons and trim you will have a more classic looking dress than can be worn on more occasions.

R.T.Kenney, Rossport deep sea guide and outfit- ter, while cruising and fishing in the waters around the islands a week ago spotted a bottle floating a few yards south of Wilson Island--about one and a half miles from Rossport Harbour. On lifting the bottle it was found to contain the following message. "June 29, 1966 - from the coast guard cutter Woor- rush--thrown over side 29th June at 2200 hours--35 miles north of Manitou Island light--ship engaged in oceanography work. If found please drop note in self addressed envelope stating date, location and finder's name. (Signed) L.C .D.R.Richard Nelson Commanding Officer, U.S.C.G.C.
