She said the high standards of the family-run operation is what keeps people beating a path to Kaishindo's door. Ms. Yamamoto's father now runs the business, and is just as picky as his predecoaaors.

SWEATEES GET the evening glitter look, at In Levino Verna'* white silk jacquard cardigan edged in black velvet and silver sequins. Black velvet skirt is hemmed in silver sequins. By Florence De Santis NEW YORK (NEA) - Despite the loose silhouettes appearing in many daytime fashions, everything's slinky for holiday evenings. Even such masters of the ball gown as Oscar de la Renta have all but abandoned big skirts in favor of the chemise and the sheath. The reason isn't hard to find. Designers have gone back to glitter with a ven­ geance and all that flash looks best when done on slim, essentially simple dresses. What's new about the current return of glitter is the frequent use of sweat­ er looks, as in de la Renta's a rgyle pullover tops beaded in bright colors and pattern. Levino Verna does a broad-shouldered white silk jacquard cardigan edged in black velvet and silver sequins, over a sequin- hemmed long black velvet skirt. Green silk jacquard is de la Renta's choice for a two-piece look dress with black velvet skirt slit up one side. The blouson top is jeweled at the neck, has full sleeves deeply cuffed in jeweling and an elaborate belt resting casually at hip­ bone level. Some sweater beading is subtle, as in John Anthony's one-shouldered crystal3 embroidery repeated low on the opposite side of a long gray V-neck pullover. James Galanos doesn't bead at all on his ankle-length sweater-dress knit in cashmere/angora blend, but adds a lace jacket covered in swirls of jeweling. Although simple, most glitter sweater-looks are accented with broad-shoul­ der detailing. The effect is dramatic when seen in such smashing glitter as Adele Simpson's red sequin sweat­ er, overlaid with silver sequin motifs, to wear with black velvet pants. Adolfo adds chinchilla fur cuffs to his cognac all-sequin pullo­ ver with bateau neckline over satin pleated pants. The chemise silhouette often is used for short dress­ es, such as Saz' knee-length bateau:neck chemise sequinned in geometric sec­ tions of red, purple and mauve separated by black sequin borders. Bill Blass' long black velvet chemise has a V-shaped front panel in gold bullion. At de la Ren­ ta a long black velvet sheath is covered to the waist in baroque jeweling. This idea appears more casually at Levino Verna, in a white silk jacquard blou­ son long dress with art deco necklace and pendant belt in gold and jewel-look embroi­ dery. James Galanos makes a simple black gown, broad- shouldered and sleeved, then covers the top in a storm of pearls ending in a waist girdle. If all the glitter begins to get to you, designers also offer plenty of non-glitter glamour. p m--mm 1-90 3 IK. 20 i V*" 5 $ " 1 u R» 64 flTOYOT IE 1 radition With A Delicious Twist Stamps In The News Serving the Fox Valley for over 20 years YEAR END DIVIDEND SALE WERE OVERSTOCKED WITH 1984 TOYOTA CARS & PICKUPS 1984 TOYOTA STANDARD BED PICKUP Stock #6140 STANDARD FEATURES • 2.4 liter SOHC engine • 4-speed synchromesh transmission • Power-assisted brakes (ventilated „ front disc/rear drum) • Full-box frame • 3-across bench seating • Styled steel wheels • Sport styled outside mirror • Power-boosted Flo-thru ventilation OPTIONAL FEATURES • All weather guard package • Radial tire package BEAT THE SALES TAX INCREASE *5988 PLUS TAX, LICENSE AND TITLE OTHERS TO CHOOSE FROM Want something special for a company dinner" Pinwhcel Loaf Wellington is a unique twist on a traditional dish Eco­ nomical ground beef is conveniently seasoned with onion soup mix, rolled with ham and\raese and encased in pastry.
