PAGE SIXTEEN THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE TUESDAY, JUNE 13, 1950 Textiles, Footwear Make News at Swiss Fair Basel -- Tucked away mountain- ously in the middle of Europe, the wonder that is Switzerland goes on in its hand-woven and embroidered upholsteries,. Among representa- tive pottery pieces, were earthen- ware vases with serpentine ribbons Fairs | running their lengths, and long- necked vases handled with a deli- cate craftsmanship typical of work- men in this unique country. Fair is World Affair Swiss, women love to knit. In many stalls displaying knitted .wear were delightful examples of alpaca and spinner wool pieces. Chemicals and cosmetics, graph- iz arts and horticulture, tools and those famous watches, books and Buildings -- each group sought a lion's share of the onlooker's en- thralled attention. So that a trip torough one of these vast exhibits was a virtual education. One visiting a Swiss fair is apt to rub elbows with almost any nation- ality, Interpreters abound, and for- a | eign trade experts are on hand to cloud. Color on Flimy Fabric Browsing among the exquisite fabrics, one glimpsed embroidery on an etched tissuelike fabric, over which were spread richly colored designs. A new piqué with small black dots gave a fresh and well- groomed effect. There was merceriz- ed cotton with a moiré effect in- tended for afternoon and evening frocks. Thick cotton resembling linen had huge flower effects. But footwear was fascinating, too. Displayed in such wide variety that no feminine visitor would fail to be pleased, high heels, capriciously fashioned, shared the spotlight with comfortable "trotteur" types. Light summer shoes had a netlike effect gained by use of nylon tissue, Their colored leather fittings lent them a coquettish air. Patent leather has again become the fashion in Switzerland. How- ever, it does not reveal itself as a compact surface, but only as a bundle of lightly plaited leather straps running from toe to ankle. There is a sandalette wifh broad bow extending from sole over the instep, leaving the toes free. In order that this shoe fit properly, there is a nail carrying a little disc fixed in the sole. In Japanese fashion, the nail sepa- rates the two biggest toes. Col- ored checks against dark leather are also featured. Plenty Hot Grill Farther along, in the domestic science section, one comes to many fhtriguing new machines, one of which is the Infra-Grill. Two ribbed plates of this grill open like a shell, and diffuse not only heat but also infra-red rays which cause meat to grill very quickly. Fried sausage, for example, is ready in two minutes; a steak takes 20 seconds, no more; fish fillets require only a few seconds. The grill ap- peals to housewives not only be- cause of the speed with which it works, but also on account of the large number of juicy tidbits which can be prepared with hardly any trouble and in appetizing fashion, Another novelty, which proves its utter practicality, is a vacuum cleaner convertible into a washing machine. The motor does double- duty: at one time it acts as a Yacuum, at another it takes over e washing and of both clothes and ol ry What to do about milk boiling | over? The Swiss have an answer | in a little white hat looking like 8 sugar loaf. A new kind of stove, heated with oil, is capable of warming an entire house as quickly and dustlessly as it heats a single Drying Caps and Knives A small invention sure to inter- est the world's women is an in- expensive hair-drying cap made of fabric. Used together with a hot- air dryer, it works efficiently in a surprisingly short period. A small knife with a movable disk would enable even an inexperi- enced person to cut delicate slices of bread, sausage and cheese. Whip- ped cream is very popular in Swit- zerland, so housewives will welcome another little machine which when operated by two small hand-driven wheels, produces delicious whipped cream and mayonnaise in the record Hime of 20 seconds! furniture made its appeal, too, well-designed and ee PRESCRIPTIONS Quickly vat Aceuiely Filled MITCHELL'S DRUG STORE 9 Simcoe N.
