WALTANN'S DRESS PATTERN DESIGNING SCHOOL P.O. BOX 610i EXtfiRdi ONTARIO (Registered as a Trade School Under The Trade Schools Regulation Act) I really believe the hemlines are dropping. I've seen some of the new fall coats and suits on the street the last few days and I'm positive the trend is to longer skirts. Now I am in a quanclry, Pm a "late starter" as far as fashion is concerned. It was late last winter that I finally got around to shortening my winter clothes and pow I find I'm hopelessly out of style with them. What does one do? And how does one explain the problem to a hnsband who thinks you can wear a red tie and orange socks with a gold shirt and green suit! The best solution to my problem came from my next door neighbor. She's much more aggressive about fashion than ever be so she hurried downtown one day 'this fall to get some advice from the local ladies' wear salesladies. "If your dresses are too short to wear alone, shorten them a little more and buy pants!" the salesgirls suggested. Pants! I'm not opposed to ladies in pants, In fact, I find pants very, very comfortable and a whole lot warmer this time of the year than those terribly brief dresses we wore last winter. But there are severe connotations to the idea of women wearing nothing but pant dresses and pant suits . . . and I'm not just sure that I'm quite ready for that kind of situation. You know the old saying about ". . wearing the pants in the family". It seems to me that women are giving public notice that they are abdicating their femininity and their God-given right to be pampered and worshipped by the male species. They are indicating by wearing pants rather than dresses that they want to be on the same level as men . . . and I'm not sure I can go along with that bit. If there ever was a group which could have its cake and eat it too, it is the women of this world. A man may think he is the master, the captain of his own ship, but when it comes right down to it, a soft, • It's the Lord Simcoe a friendly wel- borne .. superb Servibe , fine lounges and restau- rants all at sensible prices and for convenience the subway is right at the door ... in the heart of downtown Toronto. Next time you visit Toronto, enjoy it more than ever ... stay at the Lord Simcoe, fit's the beguilling, weak little wisp of .a woman can turn him. into a heap of jelly by simply smiling wanly through ,.hig tears. and :stroking the back of his neck.. A woman with any kind of feminine charms at all can bask in the. light of tender love and affection and still have her own way on most important issues, 'That's something I wouldn't want to let slip through my fingers. for the sake of fashion . . and the pant suit. Still, I'm aware that a woman is not feminine and attractive just because she wears a frilly pink frock. Some gals would turn heads if they wore twine sacks and hip boots „ „so pant suits shouldp't be all that difficult to • adapt as feminine apparel. There is little doubt though, that if women are going to switch over to pant suits . . pant suits for business, pant suits for evening, pant suits far lounging . . , they are going to have to increase the speed'of the eyelash flutter and double the application of heady cologne. And I'm not certain I can compete in that kind of a league. I'm not sure that I can give the impression of femininity in a Ontario Street United Church was decorated with spiral candelabra entwined with bronze and yellow mums, wheat and myrtle for the wedding on October 3, 1970 of CasP Buffinga and Ruth Anne Brown. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Buffinga of ' Clinton and the bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Brown of Clinton. Rev. H. Wonfor of Ontario Street Church and Rev. A, Beukema of the Clinton Christian Reform Church officiated at the double-ring ceremony. Organist was Lois Grasby and soloist was William Craig who sang The Wedding Hymn, the Lord's Prayer and the Wedding Prayer. The bride, given in marriage by her father, wore a white floor-length gown of lagOda, in an A-line, empire-waisted style with guipure lace trim on the cuff, collar and three-quarter- length sleeves, the hem, and running down the back of the gown in a double row, ending in a split chapel train. A creation of white roses and I stephanotis held in place a bouffant, scalloped veil which was trimmed with pearls: She carried a triangular cascade of white bridal roses and stephanotis. ' Matron of honour was Mrs. Ralph Buffinga of Blyth. She wore a gown of moss green pair of pants and a double-breasted jacket complete with wide lapels and hack vents. I really wonder if I'd look much different than the auto mechanic dovfn at the corner garage unless I really knocked myself out to remind the men with whom I came in contact that I am a woman. I guess I will have to go along with the pant suit fad for a while at least. I don't know what else to do when I can't afford to buy all new clothes for fall. But I'm afraid I'm going to loose ground in the battle of the sexes until fashion rights itself and puts women back in dresses . . . or until I learn how to forget my hang-up about ". . . who wears the pants in the family". For comfort and real freedom, I love the pant suit. But I really wonder if we aren't risking too much, leaving ourselves open to male revolution which could take us back centuries to when women are servants and slaves to a man's whims. I know that's not my idea of a womanhood . . , and there isn't a pant suit in the country that is worth it. crepe, the bodice fashioned with a scoop neckline and long, full-length cuffed sleeves. The sleeves were trimmed with a double row of lace in yellow and green as was the empire waistline. Bridesmaids were Lynne Gibbings of Clinton and Wendy Mycroft, Mississauga who were dressed like the matron of honour. All wore bronze and yellow mums in their hair and natural gathering baskets of bronze and yellow mums, wheat and moss green streamers. The flowergirl was Jennifer Wood of Clinton who wore a floor-length dress of white crepe with short puffed sleeves and trimmed with yellow and green lace. She wore bronze and yellow mums in her hair and a basket of flowers like those of the other attendants. Groomsman was Ralph Buffinga of Blyth with Claire Cox of Bayfield and Albert Buffinga of Londesboro as ushers and Eugene Hoytema of Clinton as ringbearer. The reception was held in Ontario Street United Church Hall where bronze potted mums on the head table, yellow and white mums on each table, and a three-tiered wedding cake enhanced the setting. The bride's mother received the guests, wearing a gold shantung beaded dress and coat ensemble with matching gold bow head piece, dark brown accessories and corsage of white sweetheart roses. The groom's mother wore a beaded dress of aqua crepe and matching coat with black accessories and a corsage of white sweetheart roses. Master of ceremonies at the reception was George Lavis. For her wedding trip to Washington, D.C., U.S.A., the bride wore a two-piece suit of raspberry red wool with black patent shoes and purxe, black leather gloves and a corsage of gardenia and stephanotis. The couple will reside at 35 Ontario St. Clinton. Prior to the wedding, the bride was honoured at miscellaneous showers given by Mrs, Nina InkIey; Mrs. Margaret Couple wed at Ont.
