A SURE WINNER—Johnny Parsons, ready for practice, poses with a fashion model who is wegring a Georgia Bullock plaid cotton sun dress with linen jacket from Strauss’ Women's Sportswear. The jacket is lined in plaid to match the dress.

By BETTY LCCHER Times Fashion Editor

oN May 30 more than ~ 100,000 spectators from all parts of the country and

from all walks of life will gather in the Indianapolis Speedway to witness one of the most fabulous spectacles in the world, the 500-Mile Race. Even before the first deafening roar of the engines at the flying start has subsided into a steady drone, the women will start the Speedway Fashion Parade. Unrehearsed, devoid of runway and musical background, it none-the-less promises to be one of the most indicative and comprehensive parade of fashions seen in Indianapolis. Picnickers in the infield and many on the bleachers will wear cool summer slack suits, play suits with matching skirts

and crisp pedal pushers with comfortable loafers or gay sandals. Those fortunate enough to be able to obtain box seats or a table in Grandstand A will outdo one another in the loveliest spectator sports fashions local stores have to offer. # 8 2 TYPICAL OF WHAT you will see are the fashions photographed here. From Ayres’ Gown Room comes the diaphanous chiffon chambray dress and jacket by Leonard Arkin. The dress has a cool square neckline and full skirt with unpressed pleats. The fitted hip length jacket has a club collar, bracelet length sleeves and bodice pockets from which to float a pretty chiffon kerchief. It is $49.95 and available in blue or wine. From Strauss’ comes the crisp brown and white plaid gingham dress trimmed in

brown linen with its own boxy Spencer jacket lined in plaid. It is designed by Georgia Bullock

of California. Price is $69.95. ®

- . IF YOU ARE dining in the country club after the race, you might choose a pale pink ‘“candied violet” shantung dress designed by Maurice Rentner, Wide, pointed lapels frame the plunging neckline. Buttons down the front are jeweled with pearls and rhinestones. The

skirt is voluminous . with rip-

pling unpresssed pleats. Wear with it Lilly Dache’'s fabulous rippling brimmed black milan hat. Both are from Wasson’s. White linen looks particularly crisp and fresh printed with blue and black bull's eyes. The full skirt bells out below the fitted bodice with chin-chuck-ing black taffeta bow. It is a Nat Kaplan design for $45 from Block's Gown Room.
