Walk In The Park?
---Merlin Wants To Hop, Crank, Fly And Flanier.........
By MAX TRELL
17 NARF and Hanid the Shadow
Children, were just starting to take a walk through the park, for it was a lovely day in the beginning of spring, when they were delighted to meet their famous friend Mr Merlin, the Magnificent Magician.
"Good morning, my dears, my darlings, my little cherubs," said Mr Merlin, stopping and smil- ing and making his cane go twirling around his Bngers like a spinning wheel.
After Knarf and Hanid bad
returned Mr Merlin's greetings, Mr Merlin said:
"And what might you two be doing on this lovely morning?"

"Won't you come along with us?" Knarf invited.
Mr Merlin shook his head. "I'm going through the park. But I'm not walking," he said. - Knarf and Hanid looked at Mr Merlin in surprise.
"No," he repeated, "I'm not walking. I'm hopping. I'm crawling I'm Aying. I'm flut- tering. But I'm not I'm posi- tively NOT-walking!"
He snapped his fingers and there they all were, a big Grass- hopper and two small Grasshop- pers, hopping across the grass -hopping over the signs that read Keep Of The Grass-hop- ping, over the railings and benches hop, hop, hopping along!

Then Mr Merlin made a click- ing sound-and there they were, one big Caterpillar and small Caterpillars. They crawled up a tree, they crawled along

"Grasshoppers hop," said Mr Merlin. Caterpillars crawl, Sparrows fly and Butterflies flutter. And if they can go hop- ping, crawling, flying and Aut- tering when they go through the park, why, so can.It And so can you!" he added.
"We'd like to go with you," said Knarf and Hanid.
It was remarkable what Mr Merlin did. Only a Magician

Then Mr Merlin chirped- there they were, flying through the air, over the trees and over the paths and over the People and over the pond in the middle of the park, just like lively Sparrows, one big and two small!

And finally Mr Merlin made the tiniest whisper of a sound and there they were-It was hard to believe three But-

And then Mr Merlin winked his eye and they were them- selves again:

THE word 'separates' can cover two completely
different ways of dressing:
A collection of clothes that look as though they have been thrown together, without any thought-or a carefully-planned set of casuals which offer you end-
less ways of dressing on a limited budget.
It all depends on the way you buy them.
The girl who collects separates like a magple, then finds nothing goes with anything is not en Hrely to blame. It's difficult to find things that go well together in the shape, with skirts in one department, blouses in another,
all places. The shops there were very impressed by the styling, workmanship and the value. This seems a very satisfactory way of welling coals to New- castle' Since the whole idea of high-fashion separates Was sfarted by the Italiana,
One designer who has been fighting a battle against selling separates separately is British designer, Digby Morton, He believes that you should be able INTO London this week came a to walk into any shop and find clothes designed by an almost high-powered collection of

I particularly liked his slick suits--chirts and matching taper- ed pants, both cut in the same fabric. Styled this way they make everyone look taller and greyhound slim--a fashion point: worth noting if your figure doesn't usually look good in trousers.
The shirt can be worn outside the pants, like a blazer jacket, or fucked inside.
I appland his hostess skirts. They are ankle length, peg- topped and cut in velvet to add sparkle and glamour to home entertaining. They can be worn with the top half of a slick suit, or with any of the wonderful printed chiris Mr Morton show- ed this year.
