Dear Ann Landers: I am al _Shicago cab drivers and, believe "me, hacking in Chicago is a tough way to make a buck. But the worst part of the job isn't the driving, it's the people who get into the cab and righty away they want to tell you their troubles. Yesterday I had a lady who was going to the airport. She started to tell me a long story about her husband running around with a girl who works in his office. She got so worked up that she hit me on the back with her purse and hollered: "How do you like that for an old goat with grandchildren?" Finally I-said: "Look, Mrs. why don't you write to An Landers and let me drive this cab?" She yelled: Ann Landers and she told me Taxi Drivers Make Good Listening Posts A cab driver can be the ideal| |person to unload on because he's |a stranger, he couldn't care less about who is to blame, and the passenger will probably nover| see him again.

Much obliged.) --Big Red their troubles to cab drivers don't want advice. They just want somebody to listen. THE STARS SAY By ESTRELLITA FOR TOMORROW Saturday should prove a highly enjoyable day. Personal relationships will be highly con- genial, so much interests as group activities, travel and ro- mance should bring you great happiness. FOR THE BIRTHDAY If tomorrow is your birthday, your horoscope indicates that, while you can accomplish a great deal in the year ahead along monetary lines--especially in late April, early May, during all of July, in mid-September mid-October and next January --it would be avisable to make no loans and to avoid extrava- gance and speculation in late May, the first week of June, November and December. Best periods for job and (or) business interests: late April, early May, late December and next Janu- ary. If you will be careful to avoid friction in close circles for the balance of this month, in late April, early June, late August, early September and early Oc- tober, you will find that prac- tically all of this new year in your life will be marked by|Poe, who were on the way to happy domestic and social de-/hospital when the birth became velopments.

(CP Photo) Moroccan Djellabah Copied By New York Fashion Designers By MARGARET NESS NEW YORK (CP)--Arabian splendor and styles have in- trigued the Western world ever since the Crusaders brought jewelry and costumes back from their campaigns. This winter the Eastern look is strong, especially in at- home costumes. Flattering to any hostess of whatever age or figure are the adaptations of the djella- bah. In Morocco men and women 'still wear this loose robe-like gown, even in such modern and cosmopolitan cities as Casablanca and Tan- gier. A few years ago a hand- some white wool dijellabah could be purchased in the souk (market) in Fez for about $5. They are probably more expensive now, what with increased tourist trade and the fashion interest in the garments. But they will be several hundreds of dollars lower than the designer adap- tations seen in the fashion col- lections in New York. One handsome version by Donald Brooks is in leopard silk jersey with the original wide square sleeves modified to a batwing. For Townley, Chuck Howard designed a white four-ply crepe. It flows over the arms in wide under- slung sleeves. Both these gowns could be worn to a formal gala as well as for at-home parties. HE INTRODUCED TURBAN And California's Galanos combined the Moroccan cloak- like burnoose and full Eastern trousers in a gauzy checked lame with beaded yoke, defi- nite'y only for at-home wear.

No word is needed at first, but it can be added later below each picture naming it: Still later the child will get on a page just the names of things beginning with the same sound not only of single letters but of blends and other com- binations. If your child in Grade 3, 4 or 6 reveals to you that he's un- familiar with the simplest sounds of letters in words, you might help him greatly during just a few sessions with him. Today we're also learning new Eastern names as design- ers seek out unusual native costumes for adaptations, such as the gandurah, the Arabic word for their sleeve- less shirt like, ankle - length dress. It is fast becoming popular for resort wear. You'll also be hearing about the gibba, the waistlength ver- sion of the djellabah. It is popular for southern resorts and for after-ski costumes. The last really important Eastern period was some 60 years ago. The great French designer Paul Poiret invited 300 guests to the first of what were to become his famous balls. The theme was the Arabian Nights and all guests were commanded to appear in authentic Oriental costumes.

Ob- viously all this interest in Eastern costumes influenced other couturiers and the East- ern fashion was eagerly picked up by the wealthy clients. CAFTAN PROVES HIT In the fall of 1954, the late Christian Dior introduced the caftan coat, adapted from the long flowing garment won in North Africa. Caftans and djellabahs are fundamentally the same but the caftan be- came popular first. It wasn't until about five years ago that tourism brought the Moroccan djellabah into fashion. Dior's caftan was the hit of the Paris collections. By the next spring, America was sell- ing it in volume. This winter Bill Blass of New York (whose designs are also produced by Lew Shed- lack in Montreal) highlighted a group of at-home caftan crepes, with glittering metallic accents. In Italy Princess Pignatelli's interpretation of the caftan was in both white flannel and beige-and:brown tweed. é India provided the next Eastern influence. In 1955 came the straight, knee-length jacket worn by Hindu men | and popularized by the late | prime minister Nehru. This is also called the rajah look. This winter several elegant rajah-tunic dresses in silvery- | white brocade have appeared in designer collections. Ten years ago harem hem- | lines were all the rage. Also important were the high Chi- nese mandarin necklines, Jap- anese kimono sleeves and obi- sashed waistlines. INSPIRED BY MOVIE In 1963 the movie Lawrence 'of Arabia started a rash of desert inspirations, in pith helmets, trailing veils and sand colors. In 1964 the East- ern influence was felt again.
