Palms and flowers completed the stage decoration. Appearing first, the young children literally stole the show from their elders as they modeled very bouffant dresses with row upon row of crinolines. Not to be outdone, the boys looked smart in young fashion as well as the more grownup suit. The audience was captivated by the Baker twine. Tamara and Ted, who wore matching pink and blue outfits. They were pushed in a double stroller by their brother, Mike. All fashions worn by the younger generation were provided by the Kiddie, Shop. The adaptable shirt waist dress was shown most in teen-age and women’s fashion while the cloche was most seen in the millinery department. From sports wear, including bermuda shorts, slack outfits, and voluminous skirts’to formal attire, the fashions carried the look of an easy relaxed fit. No one color was dominant but the classical black appeared several times. Supplying fashions for women were Jani Lynn and the E. F. Gass store and teen age styles were shown by the Style Shop. Accessories from Bower’s Jewelry Store, Sutton Jewelry Store, Miller Jones Shoe Store, Kayes Shoe Store, and Haflich and Morrissey Shoe Store, complemented the costumes.

But unemployment last month was still 1,500.000 over the figure for February, 1957, before the business downturn began. The government said the seasonally adjusted percentage of the labor force without jobs was unchanged for the third month at 6 per cent. The number of- workers still seeking jobs after tour weeks or more increased slightly to 1,464,000 o about one-third of all those unemployed. , The business recovery last year was compressed into a short span during the second six months, the report said.
