They are made of a new and amazing ma- terial which is waterproof, flex- ible, and will not scuff or crack. Whether in shoes or bags, it stretches easily, yet always comes back into place, and a damp cloth keeps it clean and brilliant. It is i “Vinylite” plastic, and in some forms it is as transparent as crys- tal. In others, it appears in rich color or the most delicate shades. Whatever its form, its wearing} qualities are outstanding. Above, a barrel bag of the clear plastic, lined with flesh silk; a broad blue pouch of the plastic with blue suede frame and gold clasp; a flat black French suede | envelope bag with the clear plas- tic in the sides for easy expan- sion; and a gathered bag combin- | ing the plastic and suede.

U.S. CAPITOL IN FACE-LIFTING (Continued from Page One) ‘for the ceremony. | The Senate, on the other hand, | Probably won't mind so much, for despite the inconvenience, a lot ef the genilemen are getting a big kick out of running back through history to their pre-Civ- il War quarters. The old Senate chamber has been dignified by 70 years of oc- cupancy by the Supreme Court (which only vacated in 1935) and by being a hall of mercy in those Civil War years when the Capi- tol was converted into a hospital (another portion of the Capitol as a bakery for army bread, but not the Senate chamber). Al- though it is about 40 feet short- er and narrower.than their pres- ent chamber, it still is a service- able roomf“and unlike the old hall of representatives, not afflicted with acoustical whispers and echoes. 3 The Past Unfolds The tradition apparently is in- spiring, for you have only to hang around the corridors these days to have some senator but-! ‘tonhole you with stories of the last Senate to occupy the room. There they'll tell you, sat Sam Houston, the fiery “Raven” of Texas history and the hero of San Jacinto. There sat Jeffferson Davis, the gentlemen from Hur- 'ricane, Miss., who was to become the Confederacy’s only president. And in the chair of the president of the Senate, was Vice-President John C. Breckenridge, the Ken- tuckian, who was to be expelled by the Senate and to become Davis’ secretary of war. There al-! So were little Stephen A. Doug- lass; and New York's political gi- ant, William H. Seward. There, someone is suré=to tell you, stood Matthias Ward, the |Texas Democrat ited to the. Senate to fill the vac caused \by ‘the death of J. Pin¢&ey Hen: | derson. On that spot, he stood and became the last man to take the oath of office in the old chamber. On that same spot, 82 years later almost to the day, stands Berkeley Bunker, Nevada Demo- crat, to take the oath of office to flil the Senate chair of the late Key Pittman. Yes sir, the Capitol face-lifting may be a bit inconvenient but it’s stirring up tradition and the senators, at least, love it. Only about one-tenth of the vast area of Soviet Russia is un- der cultivation. Gwynn, Eloise Curry, Barbara Curry, Monteen Bryant, wet ‘Albury, Shirley Bullard.
