ABOUT CHARM The Art Of Camouflage By NANCY TAYLOR Dear Nancy Taylor: What exactly is camouflage in wardrobe? Where does it come into play? Are there rules I can follow in applying camou- flage to my figure needs? eee eee @00 8800 6000060 06 P. D... Dear P. D.: If you don't hsv that one-in- a-million perfectly proportioned shape that automatically brings forth an appreciative turn of head and an outright wolf- whistle . . . then you are des- tined to learn to play the won- derful game of Camouflage, What is Camouflage? It's what is known as creating an optical illusion ... or, to put it more bluntly, 'fooling the eye.' Luckily, the human eye is one of the easiest things to fool. The eye always fimds the shortest distance between two points is a straight linc. And it takes quite an ffort to make it go against this natural inclination. Consequently, it is what you appear to be -- not what you mark when people look at you. And, if you look in proportion . . it won't occur to even the most observant person that a tape measure would find you really fall short of perfection! First, you must learn two rules: 1, The eye will always follow along the length of a line. 2. The eye will always be drawn to the lightest color in a color combination--light colors make an object "move" for- ward -- appear larger. There are fiv ways you can adapt these rules to make your figure seem in perfect propor- tion: 1. By deereaging inches with dark colors, or imcreasing inches with light colors--or both (according to your need). 2. By adding or subtracting inches from your height by wearing the right hair style and. shoes. 3. By choosing clothes with lines that will distract the) eye away from figure faults. 4. By making sure the propor- tion and silhouette of your clothes are balanced -- regard- less of a current fashion sil- houette or siyie. 5. By adding or subtracting inches with the fabrics and de- signs you choose. In this game of Camouflage, your weapons are: LINE, PRO- PORTION, and COLOR. And you are going te use these to create such harmonious™ rela- tions between all parts of your body that you create the illu- sion of ideal balance. In Studying camouflag for your own figure, keep the fol- lowing points in mind: 1. Vertical lines help to 'give the figure height. 2. Horizontal lines add breadth and width to the figure. 3. Diagonal lines and pointed effects. encourage an appear- ance of slenderness. They also seem to add sophistication, 4. Bright er light colors en- large. 5. Dark and dull colors dimin- ish. 6. Big prints, big plaids, or big checks enlarge. 7. Small prints, small plaids or small checks diminish. 8. Shiny-surface fabrics in- Dull-surface fabrics dimin- ish size. 10. Ore solid color is more slimming than a combination of contrasting materials in a cos- tume., OPERATE SOON KATMANDU.

The girls were part of 3,000 teens who viewed - "Walker's Fashion Show" and at the same time supported many other guest celebrities. Recording star Del Shannon headlined. the Variety Show. He sang many of his hit songs in- cluding his golden hit '"Run- away". He "brought the house down" when he sang a "Beatles" hit song. Other stars included Michele Finney of CBC's children's show "Razzle Actors Turn Classrooms Into Theatre TORONTO (CP) -- There's nothing like an explosion to en- liven a chemistry class and give students a personal inkling of the potential of bits of powder and crystal. It's not as easy to demon- strate the explosive power of words in a classroom but a group of actors here is trying: They are touring Toronto high schools, turning classrooms into temporary theatres. When they worked in a gym- nasium at Oakwood Collegiate, 100 Grade. 13 students listened, hushed and still, to the story of the sinking of the Titanic, told in verse. d There was no stage, just the gym. Students sat in a semi- circle, some on the floor, around the group. The actress was wearing a skirt and blouse, the three young actors were in shirtsleeves. They had few props,preferring to depend on words to do the job. The Titanic scene done, the actors stood a moment, holding the mood. Then a shrug, a grin, some horseplay while the men put on smoking jackets, the woman a shawl and hat, and the scene shifted to an Edward- ian drawing room. Enter Eliza Doolittle and 'enry 'iggins for an excerpt from Shaw's Pygma- lion. The performers are the Hour Company. The school was about the 70th they had visited. The troupe was formed this year by Barbara Chilcott, who acts with it, and Toronto's Crest Theatre Foundation. It was modelled after a similar group in Winnipeg. The Crest has so far underwritten the cost with an assist from the Junior League of Toronto, which sup- plies transportation and admin- istrative help. Over coffee, after the Oak- wood performance, Miss Chil- cott explained what sparked her interest, ae "It seemed to me,remember- ing my own school days, that too many English courses were a bore. Too much dissecting of poems and plays can kill a bud- ding interest in reading or go- ing to the theatre: You have to have work presented to you to get the emotional impact. We want to arouse the kid's curi- osity."" Oshawa Gals Attend Teen Fashion Show Dazzle". Michele and Miss Bar bara Christie, a top fashion model, commentated on some of summer's newest and brightest creations including skimpy bath- ing suits, formal wear, and every-day casuals. Don Pierre's "Band of the. Year": provided some excellent background music. Other guests 'included Judy Williams and a _ singing group, "'The Girl Friends" of OBC's program "Music Hop". FASHION COUNCIL baie Let me explain to my readers that this Fashion Show was sponsored by the "Walker's Store of Ontario". The fifty girls are a part of Walker's "Young Adult Fashion Council". These girls have many committees, for example: the hostess committee, a committee for modelling and a fashion selection committee, The executive committee is headed -by Christine Branton and Wendy Willson. The secre- tary is Maria Weiss and Jean Russel is' the fashion selection captain. May 30 of this year, is the date for the Oshawa Fashion Show to be presented by Osh- awa's young adults. It will take place at the UAW Hall and the general public is cordially im vited. Admission will be free. The girls will be modelling Walker's. fashions and alse clothes they have made them- selves. Prizes will be given and alse there will be a demonstration of a new fad called "shu- -makeypt and also a demonstration' of 'Beauty Counselor Cosmetics". We hope that this fashion show will be a great success and that many people will attend. Moke your Summer really count. Acquire useful skills and knowledge that last a lifetime.
