It also heigh- tens the awareness of the beauty around us. “It is also a wonderful means of , Felaxing people, allowing them to put aside the anxiety that haunts our times. This is probably one of theireasons why so many of our world ‘leaders (like Eisenhower and Churchill) use their crea- tive efforts in painting in spare time. “We now have an up-to-date art school in Key West where begin- ners and advanced students can . join classes in landscape and por- trait painting.

By DOROTHY ROE AP Women’s Editor Having a _ hat-conscious first lady in the White House is like money in the bank to the U. S. millinery industry. The New York wholesale mil- linery district which turns out the bulk of the millinery bought by the average American woman, is jubilant over reports of Mamie Eisenhower’s enthusiasm over hats. Things have not always been so or custom. There was a time in the ‘30s when debutante Brenda Frazier nearly wrecked the indus- Swept the country.

She selects small, | face-framing shapes that look well with her distinctive bangs, andj employs a skillful sense of color in matching and contrasting chap- eaux and costumes.
