LIKES THE
AMERICAN LOOK
with an eye on fashion
If you just happened to be going on a cruise.
LEISURELY clothes for leisurely days was the
theme of an afternoon fashion parade re- cently held at the Gloucester Hotel.
There were cottons in plenty that would take you through an easygoing day from a patio breakfast to a romantic summer's evening, dining and dancing.
If you are contemplating cruise, you could choose a cont- plete wardrobe to take with you from the many fresh as paint styles chown.
Let's imagino you are going on a crute--a fortnight full of sunshine and fun,-a fort- night of relaxing and sightsee- Ing--a fortnight with that spe- clal spice of adventure and
with mystery that goes
the word "cruise".
You will want a wardrobe that is light, adaptable and cosy to look after, with clothes that will see you coolly and crisply through every occasion.
Idea!
Choose a navy plaid plented skirt in cotton and dacron, light as a feather and an ideal outfit for travelling that will take you smartly on board and comfort- ably sightseeing,
Choose tiny yellow lastex shorts for lazing on deek, with In the top in gally printed lemon and white cotton and its own matching skirt.

Marc Bohan is so controlled of manner and quiet of speech that it took a few minutes for this heresy to register with me. The new head designer for the House of Dlor and I had just begun our Interview in his New York hotel. He is visiting here for the first time since his sensational first collection for Dior.
"A Paris designer preferring American fashion?" I asked.
"I didn't quite say that," said M. Bolar. "Although I've designed for the fashion in- dustry here and admire its organisation for mass production, I think there's nothing like couture,"
He went on to explain that what suits him is the American woman's liking for a casual, comfortable look, M. Boban be-
