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,

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
