Really, de Gaulle is something, and we shall miss him when he is gone, which this time may be imminent. He is likely to drown, even as King Canute would have done if he had staged his seastopping operation other than to show his servile court precisely that he could not control the incoming tide. De Gaulle on the contrary asserts that he can control it, and the likelihood is that he cannot, although he gains, as usual, the advantage over what is natural by his sheer audacity. It is as if Monaco had given an ultimatum to the Soviet Union. Under the circumstances, for a little while, the Soviet Union would simply not know what to do. That is the situation as the banks open. It may be that by the time these words are printed, de Gaulle will be repudiated by the only totally honest forces around, which are: The Speculators. Granted that the governments of Western Europe and the govern, ment of the United States can intercede and save the franc, and may proceed to do so. It is in everyone’s general interest that France should be stable. But nations tend to judge vast eleemosynary movements with some specific reference to their own interests which must be judged as of primary concern. It would be nice if France did not have to de-value. On the other hand, how heavy a price are we willing to pay to avoid that economic dislocation? And how heavy a price is England prepared to pay, inpoverished England whose pound sterling was ruthlessly de-valued only a year ago, while across the Channel, the snooty General was denying England entrance into the Common Market where the pound might have received massive transfusions? The key element is, then, precisely those speculators we read about. Because depending on their

reading of the strategic situation, they are going to decide what is the price France and France’s friends will have to pay in order to stabilize the franc. If they set that price too high, by continuing to sell the francs and to draw their investments out of France, then France’s reserves will quickly dissipate, and fresh reserves will not come in. Then the franc will come down and almost surely, with it, the proud general — who would not likely survive both the austerity he has invoked, and the failure of the objective in behalf of which it was invoked. The speculators. Whenever the word is used, the user visualizes sinful, greedy little men who profiteer from human distress. It is appropriate to explain that the speculators perform a vital economic function. It is they and they alone who signal to a society that it is engaging in pursuits whose strategic consequences are dangerous. The speculators exist in the money market because we all pledged, back in 1944, to fix exchange rates based on the price of the dollar, and to hold these rates down to within one per cent's variation. When there is imbalance over a long period in trade accounts it is obvious that the importing country's currency is being weakened, and to be angry at the speculator for selling that currency is approximately the equivalent of getting mad at a bank president who refuses to lend any more of his depositors’ money to a client whose debts are rising and whose income is diminishing. I heard it estimated by an economist the other day that whereas at the time of the Bretton Woods conference 95 per cent of the country’s economists favored fixed exchange rates, now, thanks substantially to the scholarly research of Professor Milton Friedman, plus also to the regular harrowing international

money crises, 95 per cent of the nation’s economists endorse what Professor George Stigler terms “the elegant alternative of free exchange rates.” It is sobering to reflect that if we had had flexible exchange rates, changing day to day according to the dictates of the marketplace, the crisis of this last weekend, whose political overtones are as vast as the end of de Gaulle and a return of Franco-German hostility, might not have taken place. Suggesting what a lot of people have supposed right along, which is that the economic free market often overrules the political market: a moral not unrelated to King Canute’s.

Holiday decorating is as simple as snip, snip, snip with.-surprise colorful indoor-outdoor carpet. Though not usually associated with ornamental decorations, in-door-outdoor carpet adapts easily to this new role. People who have attempted custom insets will testify that the versatile material is a pleasure to work with. Custom insets are designs cut into indoor-outdoor carpet on a floor, After insets, it was a logical next step to fashioning this economical floor covering into all sorts of intriguing decorations. Indoor-outdoor carpet is uniquely suited as decoration material, because it is firm enough to hold a shape yet easy to manipulate with scissors or knife. As the first step, trace an appropriate design out of a book or magazine onto grid paper. Next, secure the paper pattern to piece of red carpet with masking tape. With a razor-edged knife, such as an X-Acto knife, cut through paper pattern and carpet. After cutting out the tree, center it on the left edge of a rectangular section of green carpet that has been cut to standard placemat size with a pair of scissors. Slice along the outline of the right side of the tree with your knife. The tree and placemate will now interlock evenly. Hold them in place with a long strip of masking tape applied to the back of the

placemat where the two pieces join. Companion to the placemat is a napkin holder which repeats the tree motif. Simply cut out a tree and napkin ring from the carpet and fasten one to the other with a piece of tape. Red and green are the traditional yuletide colors, but red and gold, green and gold, blue and green, or any other color scheme can be substituted. Indoor-out-door carpet comes in a wide enough range of colors to satisfy the most particular decorator. There are other benefits to decorating with indoor-outdoor carpet. It isn’t messy, prickly or difficult to locate. It combines well with traditional decorating materials, like holly, pine cones and sprigs. Attractive wreaths can be created by at-/

taching greenery and red berries to carpet circles. Placemats, napkin holders and wreaths barely begin the list of decorating possibilities with indoor-outdoor carpet. For instance, children will enjoy devising tree ornaments in various designs and sizes. Other shapes can be cut out of the carpet in festive colors and affixed to walls or doors with doubled - faced tape. The tape should not mar most surface finishes. The proper indoor-outdoor carpet to use for holiday decorating is bonded fiber carpet. Also, bonded fiber shrugs off spills and resists stains. The placemats and napkin holders of Christmas 1968 should still be looking bright and beautiful in Christmas 1969 and for years after.

DKAK FOLKS: So many of you have written wanting to know how to make a nylon net Christmas tree the easy way. Believe me, my way is so easy . . . and quick, too. I buy four yards of nylon net (and this is the only time I have ever found where inexpensive net can he used!). Then I cut it in six-inch-wide strips and using the gatherer on my sewing machine, gather it down the middle. On that same shopping trip, 1 buy a styrofoam coneshaped Christmas tree (they come in all si/.es) at the dime store and a package of dressmaker's straight pins. Starting at tlie bottom, I pin the gathered strip at the stitching to the plastic foam, round-and-round and ending up at the top. When finished, 1 just cut the top ruffle to shape so it will come to a point. That’s all there is to it . . . Some of these trees I spray with hair spray and sprinkle sparkles on them. Others can have those little tiny decorations attached (and your old button box is great for this:) with sewing thread or wire twistems from bread wrappers. Don't forget that earrings you won’t he wearing during the holidays can he attached too! If the need arises, they can he removed in a minute. A long strand of pearls is nice along with the now popular love beads. These make lovely gifts for the sick and shut-ins. They are also nice for apartment dwellers. Love, lleloise I\S.: On one tree I used three different colors of green net—dark green, light green and chartreuse, shading th net in rows. Lovely. Very tiny miniature trees (about four or five inches high) can be made with gathered lace and they are adorDress sizes aim to flatter NEW YORK 'UPI> —- That size 10 dress, like the woman who wears it. is no longer what it used to be—it’s bigger. Dress makers, working on the theory that flattery goes a long way with a woman, are sticking smaller size labels on larger dresses, reports the Health Insurance Institute. The proof is in last year’s patterns. While ready-to-wear sizes went down, pattern sizes remained the same for many years, and a woman who thought she wore a size 10 dress usually found she had to buy a size 12 pattern. Now pattern sizes are following ready-to-wear's small sizes. As sizes shrank, however, women continued to grow. Today’s American woman is bigger and busier than any generation before her.

able. Often you call find this lace on bargain tables at little cost. DEAR HELOISE: My little girls use a cliptype clothespin to attach theii school scarves nr hats and gloves to their school coats. When they take off their jackets, they just clip their headgear and gloves to it. It sure saves that last minute scrambling around every morning before school trying to find them. Carole Hummer And I’ll bet they keep the clothespin in their coat pocket when not in use, eh? With their name and phone number written on it, no less? lleloise LETTER OF LAUGHTER DEAR HELOISE: I did dumb things, too. as a new bride! When making rice soup for just the two of us. I put a WHOLE POUND of rice in the boiling water. When it started to cook. I had every available pan full! My husband claims after 22 years we are still eating some of that rice. And he sure enjoys telling this one on ME. P M DEAR HELOISE: Many of us have a courtesy card needed for cashing checks at our local grocery store. To keep mine handy and in a most convenient place. I taped it to the inside cover of my check book After writing my check, I flip my check record back and there’s my I D. card for the cashier to see. Ida Ham DEAR HELOISE: For several years now I have bought each member of my family a toothbrush and hung them on the Christmas tree'aVi-ornaments. I tag them so that each one will know that he or she has a brush. That way there is at least one new' toothbrush per year! Nellie Price DEAR HELOISE: On the shelves where I keep my flour, rice, etc., I always place a sheet of waxed paper over the shelf paper. When the w'axed paper is soiled or torn, I just remove and discard it. Wipe the shelf paper with a damp sponge then put on more w axed paper.
