When it came to gowns, the most daring Egyptian social deaders wore garments made entirely of transparent beads. Starched and carefully pressed ruffles and pleats were the rage in ro and other Egypitan cities 3500 vears ago. Jewelry was worn extravagantly, profusely—large rings, Dracelets, aymlets, necklaces, anklets and head-bands. The turquo was the most favored.of precious stones.

An acci- dental discovery by sicentific ditch diggers may revolution- ize styles. Human nature is fickle, vanity always ready for a new craze—follow tj ader. It’s part of the phenom- enon called life. With of us, life’s main purpose is a quest for thrills—anythfng new. A modern witch doctor in Denver says that Henry Ford is the reincargation of King Tut. That's a new Ford joke, false like most of the others. If Ford in‘a previous existence had really been King Tut, those chariots they have been tak- ing from the tomb in Egype would not have been so crude. Scientists say that Tut’s tomb is yielding priceless treas- ures. Maybe so, through their eyes. But few of us would sive. attic space to the tomb’s contents, if we didn’t know its source. Values are largely imaginary, priceless to some, unk to others. It all depends on the view point. “R. U. R.” An airplane without a pilot makes a flight of six hours | wnd:a half in France.
