So much water was on 'the ground she paddled 300 ft. into the orchard in a little row boat to retrieve baskets of apples that were floating around after being knocked prematurely from the trees by the winds. The apples were perfect after landing in water, since they had no bruises like windfalls would have. New fashions for fall paraded at Playhouse It rained and it rained all day Wednesday. Fearing that the deluge may have cancelled the Playhouse Ladies Guild fashion show scheduled for that evening, a quick call to the Playhouse office to inquire was answered by Board Chairman Dave Sheppard. "It's all systems go" he declared, "do come on out, there's lots of dock- ing space for everyone". That's exactly what the many sup- porters did, and they were treated to a most enjoyable evening, beginning with a wine and cheese reception in the lounge, then into the main theatre for the Susan J. fashion show4Ising some of the white and silver stage set from the recent hit musical Annie, the stage was further enhanced with floral displays created by Joanne Din- ney, courtesty of Country Flowers, Exeter, The vibrant fuschia backdrop was a perfect complement to the rich elegance of Susan J's fall selection of ladies fashions. President of the Playhouse Guild, Mary Harvey, can be justifiably pro- ud of the efforts of this fashion show convener Nan Freel and her co - convener Betty Densmore and the many helpers who sold tickets and gathered donated door prizes. The show played to an 85 percent capaci- WINTER NOT FAR OFF — Winter coats were a feature segment of the Susan J. Fashion show, spon- sored by the Ladies Guild at Huron Country Playhouse Sept. 10th.

It was reported to have raised over $2500, which is more than any other single fund-raising event that the Guild has done. When master of ceremonies Dave Sheppard questioned the gathering as to whether they preferred one large fall fashion show or two smaller shows of spring and summer fashions the audience applause was the same - they liked both. Wednesday's presentation here in Grand Bend was commentated by Susan Sharpe, owner of the four well- known stores in London, where the main Susan J. fashions boutique is located at Oxford and Richmond Streets. Drawing from the extensive selec- tion of both imported and Canadian designed clothes carried in the shops, Susan put forward a comprehensive selection for the Playhouse audience, something for nearly every occasion. Afternoon dresses, elegant sport- swear, business suits, coats and cocktail dresses were all featured. This talented Guild also delighted the assembly with four of its members taking part as models. Joy Hogg from St. Joseph is well known in local fashion shows; Milvi Iskauskas was previously a profes- sional model and now owns the Grand Bend boutique Inspirations; Fran Levie and Beth Jean are also Grand Bend residents. The other four models, came from London and all were aid ed, behind the scenes by nine dresser who were Guild members as well. To summarize Susan's fall fashion messages: skirts are longer, much longer, lean with slits or flare at the bottom; shoulders ate more rounded and jackets slightly shaped but still the large oversized easy look; the most desired fabrics this season are washable knits or butter soft lamb suede, sometimes stencilled to rep- resent reptile or croc skin; layering is still featured with longer coats often with belted or pleated back detail; most outstanding were the colours. This fall it is rich jewel tone shades in sapphire, turquoise and ruby; the basic is grey or deep taupe, as well as winter white. Before moving back to the lounge to end the evening with more wine and cheese, many draws were made for the door prizes which were donated by Christmas Place, Farmer Bill's Flowers, White's Pharmacy, Sanders on the Beach, Rings Strings and Things, Young Classics Hair Salon, St. Joseph's Country Store, Gammage Flowers and the Red Pump, Bayfield.
