Fashion Huron ,Country Playhouse was nearly filled for a show of•a different • sort last Wednesday, September 9, as the Playhouse Guild ladies presented "Earthly Beginnings" their annual fashion show. Dave Bannister, ('hair - man of the 11CP Board, greeted the crowd. Mary Harvey, Guild Presi- dent, introduced the fashion commen- tator for the show, Susan Sharpe, for Susan J fashions, of London. Tyner - Shorten of Westmount Mall featured fashions for men. The stage was sumptuously set with background and a bridge from "Brigadoon" and . floral . ar- rangements from Country Flowers, Exeter. The fashions presented were ultra -feminine, classic, opulent, elegant and extravagant (as were some of the prices) ! Susan .J's fall fashions offer the richest materials in imported silks, jersey, leather, wool worsteds and tweeds, in the subdued tones of grey, black, camel, cognac and aubergine, and woodland tones of brown and hunter green: Color con- trasts were red or_peacock blue, with lots of fur, sequins and rhinestones to highlight the glamorous evening wear. Susan J -features mainly Cana- dian anadian designers, like Irving Samuel, Eleanor Brenner, Don Sawyers and Mr. Jacks; The clothes were modeled by Guild members Beth Jean, Elia Douglas, 'Betty Eaton, Milvi Iskauskas; and HCP Board member DaVe Sheppard, plus several London models with Susan J. show a success Most of the suits featured long, fuller skirts and jackets, with ruffled blouses in silk or satin. Suits with a European influence were trimmer, with shorter, narrow skirts. This fall, suits are found in textured leather, wool/challis, flannel and tweed, in simple, classic construction for figure flattery. The cardigan jacket also makes a fashion statement, topping some really stunning skirt and sweater outfits. Shades of camel team with black and grey, peacock blue is accented with black or grey, and pewter is highlighted with beige. The jungle influence is also felt, in lion peinra, fabulous fake leopard fur, and fox or raccoon trim on sweaters, coats and jackets. Evening sweaters sport shiny sequins and sparkling rhinestones on black or sapphire • blue; there are even accents of suede, lace, fur, angora, or feathers. Dresses, on the other hand, are sim- ple and elegant, needing only a lavish lace collar or that special necklace to complete the look for daytime perfec- tion. The evening gowns; on the other hand, could be easily worn to one of Alexis or Crystal's parties, or to Ot- tawa at a Govenor-General's ball, with taffeta, lace and velvet on one cream creation; another black jersey hung with gold chains and black se- quins; and a black satin gown trimm- ed with lurez lame in a fish -tailed full skirt.

Mary Fran Gaiser was reader at the 11' a.m. mass, also eucharistic minister at communion, together with Jerry Backx. The choir was back together for the first time since June, singing under the direction of Lydia Duchow, accompanied. by organist Paul Dietrich. Choir rehearsal will also resume, beginning on Thursday, September 17 at 7 p.m. and each Thursday thereafter, following mass. The theme of Sunday's scripture r=eadings was "Forgiveness," which should have been included in the original ten commandments. Father Beck suggested the inclusion "Forgive your neighbour the hurt he does you". If a man doesn't show compassion to others and forgive those who wrong him, how then can he expect compassion and forgiveness for himself? Do we real- ly try to forgive and forget the hurts of others? We are meant to pe a forgiving people, bound to have pity on others as Christ has pity on us. The attitude of forgiveness begins.in our Dewitte Antiques Flea Market Sat. & Sun.
