GO IN A NEW CAR! RIGHT NOW IS THE BEST TIME TO BUY THAT NEW OR USED CAR YOU'VE BEEN NEEDING ... AND RIGHT NOW IS THE BEST TIME FOR YOU TO INQUIRE ABOUT OUR LOW-INTEREST AUTO LOANS. \ WHETHER ITS A SAVINGS ACCOUNT CHECKING ACCOUNT HOME IMPROVEMENT LOAN or AUTO LOAN ... TOGETHER, WE CAN Evenings soften up to pales PAGE 19-SUPPLEMENT TO PLAINDEALER-FRI., APRIL 5, 1974 Night clothes for the most pleasant dreams are this Spring's after-dark message. In neon brights or wa- tercolor pales, clouds of chiffon coast over the body and spill in tiered hem­ lines, ruffles and layered effects. Off the shoulder neck­ lines, fly-away tops and one-shoulder looks bloom at night. Gossamer-sheer black chiffon brings a bed­ room look out into the evening. Flowers, impres­ sionist patterns and ab­ stracts create more sheer magic. Big loose pajamas in airy crepes aryi silks with their see-through bed Jackets keep everyone awake. Clinging jerseys murmur their good-nights in softly gathered or smocked bodices, deep- plunge necklines and long slippy tank dresses. The strapless returns as a soft blouson. The new evening length drifts around the lower calf, ends in bare sandals, sometimes gets a millinery flower here and there. Sequins and bugle beads are firefly-bright on airy sheers. The gathered hal­ ter is this season's version. Suits conform to easy living SHAPELY FABRICS Fabric choice is con­ sidered one way to alter appearance without changing measurements. The figure can "look" heavier in bold patterned dresses, thick fluffy fab­ rics and shiny materials. The well-suited woman opts for the easiest look going, so untailored and unconstructed that it seems to melt on the body. Many of the new suits are knit in sweater shapes in boucle or soft tweedy fabrics. Jackets are long, lean cardigans, loose blouson styles, bi-toppers, short- sleeve peplum looks and wraps. Skirts relax in dirndls, flippy pleats or wrap­ arounds. It's a look that man­ ages to appear offhand yet carefully pulled together. The Big Topper is a roomy shirt or cardigan in crisp fabrics like linen or all-weather fabrics. The roomy balmacaan. the oversized trenchcoat and the classic reefer also come out on top. GOING Keep hems spotless Those swingy, mid- length skirts and dresses swirling around town these days are the latest in the up-and-down hem­ line story. They're also the latest in clothing care dilemmas. Should spots and stains on new non-washable, longer hemlines become a prob­ lem, they can be removed with K2r Spot-lifter. Just spray on, allow to dry, and brush the stain away. Guard against night blindness Sunglasses worn in bright sunshine during the day really begin to pay off in safety at night after you take them off to drive home. The makers of Cool-Ray Polaroid sunglasses say that bright sunshine -- whether it be at the beach or on the ski slopes -- can cause our eyes to lose up to 50 per cent of their night vision. The condition corrects itself over a period of sev­ eral days, but it's really dangerous while it exists because we have great dif­ ficulty in noticing -- or even detecting -- loss of night vision. Cool-Ray says that wearing sunglasses during the day will guard against temporary night vision loss, but you should never wear sunglasses while driving at night because they reduce your ability to see in the dark. Brightening of rug captures Spring bloom 1 If your garden is abloom with Spring greenery and flowers but your carpet still looks as dull and bleak as winter, it is prob­ ably time for a brightening to remove the film of greasy soil masking the carpet's true color. This type of soil is caused by greasy dust, dirt and soot particles in the air, and is usually immune to ordinary vacuuming. Shampooing is the only way to remove that dull­ ing, greasy film of soil, and now it's possible to do it yourself -- quickly, easily and conveniently. Spray 'n Vac, a revolu­ tionary new rug cleaner from Glamorene, sprays on in minutes and dries ready for vacuuming in about one hour. There's no bend­ ing, scrubbing, sponging or rinsing. The cleaning solvents in the foam do the work -- not you -- and leave rugs and carpets clean and fresh and the color bright once again. So, don't let greasy dirt's dulling look hide the color of your cprpet, when you can Spray^n Vac it away so easily. SOME­ WHERE FOR EASTER?
