Fourteen models tripped down the aisle in the meeting room at the Library Annex, pivoted slowly, ex- hibiting their attire, and disappear- ed, according to custom. The differ- ence was that everything shown originated in the Value Shop. Even the announcer, Mrs. Jonathan Val- entine, modelled a three-piece out- fit in tie-silk from the bargain racks. Melanie Hellersperk wrote date phraseology of leading cout- ouriers, describing each model in terms of line, material, cut, and suitability. She prefaced description by saying that no well dressed woman ever is guilty of exceeding a count of fourteen in assembling her costume. Shoes count for one point, but if stitched in contrast, two points. Gloves and hosiery, each a point, a hat four points, ear- rings a point, ete. Janet Jenkins modelled a yellow brunch coat, Elaine Allen a scarlet jersey blouse worn with a scarlet and green plaid pleated skirt. Iris Pardini showed a casual sports jer- sey in beige, Grace Richardson a basic grey jersey. Loretta Williams showed a pastel suit. As each model appeared, the size and price were announced, the price bringing gasps of disbelief, the size a breath of envy. Mrs. Valen- tine hastened to reassure the gath- ering. There were plenty of sizes thirty-eight and forty on the racks at the Value Shop, but models who could be coerced into exhibiting them in person were scarce. Nines easier to persuade. Janet Goeringer appeared in a soft jersey with unpressed pleats, Loretta Williams showed a pastel suit. Elaine Allen had a return en- gagement with a wine gabardine. Doris Maturi modelled a soft dressmaker suit in powder blue. Mildred Commons went down the aisle in a.royal blue flecked tweed suit which was so becoming to her that she bought it. Mrs. Valentine interrupted the show long enough to say that a good many of the models had fallen in love with the garments, and handed the treasurer the purchase price of the Mediter- ranean blue tie-silk she herself was wearing, slipping off the jacket to show the low-cut sun-back, suit- able for cruise wear. Madge Swepston modelled a soft grey suit. Grace Lee showed a navy linen topped by a blue and white stole, Abbie Kautz a raw silk casual. Evelyn Eck wore a black basic, ac- cented with jewelry. Janice Lamb another black, in wool, with brace- let sleeves. Elaine Allen and Doris Maturi modelled raincoats, belted and loose hanging. Florence Davis showed an English greatcoat in shaggy grey wool over a red wool dress. Mrs. Lee modelled a casual coat in neutral wool over a stone blue crepe dress; Mrs. Davis a long-lined princess coat, dressy, with a shawl collar. Mrs. Lee came back wearing a wine broadcloth coat in long lines, with grey Per- sian lamb trim. Doris Maturi showed an after- five frock, a cocktail or short eve- ning dress with a removable jacket; Janet Goeringer a soft blue faille, self button trimmed, featuring un- pressed pleats; Janet Jenkins a slim velvet skirt with a low cut cash- mere top. Evelyn Eck modelled a white eve- ning or dinner dress embroidered in sequins, low square neck; Grace Richardson a blue taffeta; Loretta Williams a two-piece black faille with rhinestone buttons; Madge Swepston a long evening dress in black. Janice Lamb showed a long Kelly green evening gown with hor- izontal tuck treatment and a bateau neckline. : Lettie Culver was called from the floor to show a red wool dress she had recently purchased. Abbie Kautz modelled a sleeveless tur- quois net over stiff taffeta, the an- swer to a mother’s search fer a Iris Pardini showed what could be done with a white dress by shortening it and employing the surplus material. Evelyn Eck mod- elled a bridesmaid’s gown in pale green organdy over taffeta. Present in addition to those al- ready named: Mesdames Richard N. Stouffer, Franklin A. Wagner, George Flack, Robert Bachman, Robert Graves, Marion Harter, By- ron Creasy, Herman C.
