few clothing remarks
Clothes maketh man, but
they maketh woman crazy.
From the day Adam don-

seen to it that the business of
dressing every day is pain-
less, streamlined and
simple. Women have always

have admired them for it
Ever since Chopin's girl-
friend started borrowing his
pants and cigars, we females
have been nipping things
from the boys' side of the
closet — shirts, sweaters,
wooly socks and trousers. If
you re smart enough to

your wardrobe at a single

yours ) means never having

to say, •'I haven't a thing to
wear "
For several years- now,
chic chicks have shown up at
posh parties wearing tuxe-
does - duds which were
formerly exclusively male 1
know stylish women who buy
their shirts, sweaters and
even some footwear in the
boys' department. Every-
thing there is better made
and Tess pricey than similar
stuff in a fancy boutique.
Further proof of how sen-
sible men are about clothes
lies in the plethora of pockets
with which the dressed male
is equipped. Fully suited, the
Squire has about eight
pockets in which to stash
stuff. A man never has to
dump his purse on the table
to find his glasses or his
check book. A man in a
three-piece suit is a human
filing cabinet.
There is really only one
area where men's good
clothing sense falters and
that is the necktie. Although
women will tie one on from
time to time, they draw the
line at wearing a diagonally
striped tourniquet day after
day.
Right now I am totally pre-
occupied with clothes. I'm
preparing for an Armed
Forces study trip which in-
cludes Germany (cold,
rainy, inland) and Cyprus,
(hot, sunny, seaside). Be-
cause my host IS The Mili-
tary, I must look neat and
tidy at all times. My well -
pressed, immaculate versa-
tile all-weather and all-pur-
pose wardrobe mustn't ex-
ceed the fifty -pound baggage
limit. And — I must carry
my own bag, as well as
camera case, tape recorder
and that everlasting
..shoulder bag.
This has thrown me into a
frenzy of mending, patching,
altering, cleaning, trying on
rejecting and discarding. All
day long I walk around the
house talking to myself. Do
the brown shoes really go
with the white pant suit?
Should I take a beachrobe or
a bathrobe or both? Do I
need a hat?.What if it rains?
How much does an umbrella
weigh? Should I get a pon-
cho? With a hood? What.
color?
(This, so far, is just basic
clothes anxiety. I'm allowing
myself a 4111 day for the
nervous breakdown relating
to maseara, jewellery,
scarves, •gloves, moist towel-
ettes and portable clothes-
lines.
Last night I decided to con-
sult the Squire, who because
of his sex, is an expert on
clothes.
"If I wear my brown
coat," I said, "it will be too
hot for Cyprus but it will go
with my good dress unless I
wear the blue suit but then I
have to take heels and a full
slip and that white blouse
that wrinkles so easily. Or
maybe a blazer would be
better but it won't match my
white pants — honey, are you
listening?"
"Whatever you decide will
be just wonderful, dear,"
said the clothing expert.
"But you haven't an-
swered me!" I said, on the
edge of hysteria. "What
would you take if you were
going?"
"I'd just wear my suit and
throw in some socks and
underwear and a couple of
shirts and sweaters — you
know."
I sure do• And guess who
would pick up the suit from
the cleaners, press the
shirts, fold the sweaters and
match the socks?
Yessir. Men have clothing
all figured out Theyavoid
tight
g skirts, perishable
pantyhose, crazy shoes, slip-
pery stoles and those tire-
some little evening bags with
no handles that hold nothing
bigger than an aspirin.
I read the other day that
men are even flirting with
the notion of abandoning the
zipper, that unreliable and
dangerously toothed closure.
The latest fad is the rugby
pant, a baggy trouser which
as an elasticised waistband
and no opening in the front.
These are very comfy and
you, aren't: likely to get your
shirt tail caught in anything.
Women have been wearing
themfor years.
In that regard at least,
there are no flies on us.
Real friends. of
Best Friends'
By NANCY ANDERSON
HOLLYWOOD — "Best
Friends," a recent Warner
release starring Burt Rey-
nolds and Goldie Hawn,
might be an autobiography.
Not an autobiography of
the stars who, in the movie,
play gifted screenwriters
married to each other, but
of Valerie Curtin and
Barry Levinson, co-authors
of the screenplay and real-
life husband and wife.
--Curtin is. also an actress,
a star, of the TV series
"Nine to Five."
However, though Curtin
and Levinson area mar-
ried screen -writing team
and "Best Friends" is
about a similar pair, the
idea for the picture devel-
oped before the Curtin -
Levinson nuptials.
While they were still
writing and living sepa-
rately, Levinson said to
Curtin one evening, "I have
an idea .fbr a story
"What is it about mar-
riage," he asked, "that can
turn a perfectly good rela-
tionship into a disaster
area?"
Curtin said she didn't
know.
He set the problem aside
for a term during which he
and Curtin did live togeth-
er, then got married and
set out to meet their re-
spective in-laws.
"When we got back to
California," Levinson says,
"we were ready to answer
my question and to write
the script."
In the movie, Reynolds
and Hawn go from their
wedding to Buffalo to visit
her mom and. dad. played
by Jessica Tandy and Bar-
nard Hughes, the latter an
eccentric who hides porno-
graphic magazines under
his socks.
The Buffalo scenes were
shot in Buffalo, where an
80 -year-old frame house
occupied by computer pro-
grams analyst Alex Tram-
mel served as a principal
location ' (
When location ihanager
Lois Hartwick called on
the Trammels to ask for
the use of their home, the
family thought they might
be victims of a practical ,
joke.
Phone calls to the
mayor, the Better Business
Bureau and to Warner's in
Burbank, Calif., finally

company.
Because snow, needed
for a snow scene, stubborn-
ly refused to fall, producer
Norman Jewison turned
for help to the Buffalo San-
itation Department, which
courteously trucked it in
from nearby mountains.
"Best Friends" is Hawn's
and Reynold's first co-star-
ring vehicle. Burt explains,
"We used to send each
other mash notes about
doing a picture together.
"But there are very few
scripts nowadays which
have equally strong male
and female roles, the kind
they used to write for
Tracy and Hepburn or
Cary Grant and Jean Ar-
thur.
"So we waited until the
right one came along."
