WOMANSENSE Impact-in a split-second
JILL BUTTERFIELD
ONCE in every girl's lifetime comes the day when she longs
to hit 'em in the eye, stop 'em
In their tracks, knock 'em
for six. It's the day when her whole appearance is concentrated on being a split- second sensation-on making IMPACT.
Today I give you the clothes (an equal mixture of sense and sensation) to do just that.
These are NOT the little everyday dresses you can wear year in and year out. Their line is too Immediate, their colours too strong, their effect too niemorable to lust for long.
These are NOT the baale little numbers you can ring numerous accessory changes on. They stand quite alone-they are gingerbread dresses which do not need extra gt; they are spice cakes which scorn uny leing.
☆
These are NOT ensy-does-it fashions you cun casually
put on and forget. They need
actively wearing-and not when you have a red nose, a splitting headache or no
time for a hair-do.
Now I am by no means suggesting that you plan your wardrobe around them. I am not advising you to alm for this extrovert look-at-me-look in your basic buys.
But for every girl, at least once when she's in the money. In the throes of Spring fever, or simply in love- she must make the entrance of her lifetime.
This in three dimensions-
is how to do it.

AND FOR THE MEN...
JOINING Jaguars and Scotch in the export drive to America, a British firm of woollen merchants has just sold the material for 12 suits to President Kennedy. Tha fabrica are mainly conservative by American sartorial standards but well in keeping with the President's dignity-brown, blue worsted flannel, and grey chalk stripe.
One concession to the climate (hot in summer, heated in winter), they are mainly feather-weights.

Ever been laughed to scorn for fondly believing that every beauty product is a budding miracle worker? Well, now's your chance to hit back. The latest product (hat-foot from American) to hit the MEN'S market contains like the women's cosmetics he jokes about-a "moisturiser."
