PAGE 16-PLAINDEALER-FRI., NOVEMBER 20, o970 Leather Comes Up with Soft Ideas; Showing Off Supple Silhouettes Leather, that old softy, has come up with a new look in apparel this spring. These leather fashions are cloud- light, drapable as jersey yet crisp and clean-lined when that effect is desired. Spring '70 is a soft season > for fashion, and leather has focused on that feeling. Whatever the costume -- a suit, coat, set of separates-- leather is supple, never limp. In American garment leathers, the choice includes smooth, suede, antiqued, split cowhide, pigskin, printed, real patent and "wet look" leathers. Today's leather suit pic­ ture naturally includes the pantsuit, fetching in any .leather. Newest silhouettes stress the longer jacket, tunic or vest over flared or straight-leg pants, mostly the latter. In terms of trim, leather pantsuits display contrast- color borders and belts, nov­ elty buttons, bits of* hard­ ware, and stitching. Skirted suits, like pant- suits, get an extra life in leather. Again, jackets are long for the most part, but some do cut off at waist or hip-top. In style, jackets may be a soft loose cardigan, blazer, figure-molding double- breasted type, Eisenhower or riding jacket. Dressing Up For late day and theatre wear, leather suits go dffcssy with jewel trim, gold but­ tons, silk braid and other elegant touches. For fashion's latest look, Full of Ideas, Springlike Hats Look Romantic and Feminine In many ways it's a cover- up story. The new small head look has inspired tiny hats with maximum coverage. Cloches fitting so close to the head are newsy in geo­ metric prints that can set off solid outfits or match art deco costumes. Sculptured cloches hug a little more, hide a little less. Brims are ever gaining in popularity. Hats make the most of them in many sophis­ ticated and sporty styles, in­ cluding versions of cowboy and safari hats. Flowered hats on stretch fabrics replace wigs by fit­ ting the head in a similar manner. Hair is covered completely and the hat fits snugly, wig-like. The flower story doesn't end there. Clustered along brims and covering many straws, flowers for hats are as important as any new style. Berets are over-sized, cov­ ering the short hair styles in knits, felts and straws. Straws, natural and col­ ored are hitting high marks atop many an ensemble. More under the hat looks are vagabond-type babush­ kas with thick fabric braid­ ing, pigtail style, draping over one shoulder. there are leather dresses. Silky-soft leathers have been made into body-clinging che­ mises, side-wraps and smart A-lines. Smooth leathers are used, as well as supple suedes and new see-through mesh-suede leathers. Though styled,with sim­ plicity, dresses often sport additional detailing such as laced ties, fringe, big collars, faggoting, and strippings overlaid in another color or leather. Lean leather jumpers are suitable to wear with or without shirt or blouse. In the decidedly dressy di­ vision, there are bewitching leather gowns, short or long, with ornate jeweling, fancy embroidery or passemen terie. Coats lightly shaped to the figure, or lashed in with sash or belt, utilize a line-up of leathers: smooth, suede, an­ tiqued, split cowhide, pig and others. Collar treatment, side clos­ ings, double-tiered sleeves, ABOUT YOUR M a n y h o m e m a k e r s , w h e n cooking pasta dishes such as spaghetti and macaroni, are plagued with having the pasta strands stick together or to the cooking pot. Even worse, the pasta may stick together after draining. There are several facile methods to prevent this. In all cases, the spaghetti or macaroni should be cooked in a large quantity of boiling water. The liquid should be boiling furiously both before and after the pasta is added. As soon as the strands are dropped into the water, they should be sepa- rdPW^arefully and quickly by stirring the mixture with a two- bold stitching and hardware set off the leather texture. Lengths go mini and midi, but rarely maxi for spring. Adding Colors Many new leather coats are duo-toned. Second color may appear at collar, belt, pocket or border hem, or the coat may be two colors top and bottom. Leather separates include jackets, pants, skirts, vests, culottes and tops of all types. The leather jacket may be a versatile sports coat, tail­ ored riding jacket or blazer, car coat, long low-belted jacket, safari style or any number of others. The wild, wild vest is on view in long and short ver­ sions--buckled, belted, but­ toned -- brass-trimmed or fringed. , . . Whether a skirt is yoked, A-line, wrapped, gored, gath­ ered, mini, midi or maxi, leather has it. Leather pants also offer several looks: jean types, braid-trimmed flared or straight-leg, brass-studded. For an all-leather team of separates, a leather shell, overblouse, shirt or jacket may be added. FRINGED EVOLUTION Fringes fly again in many fabrics and leathers. Influ- New Shoes Reveal or Conceal The upcoming Seventies sees a broad and beautiful range of leather shoes for the feminine foot, starting with this spring's fashions. The span of styles runs from the most revealing to high- riding or wrapped silhou­ ettes. New leather shoes have opened up--at heel, sides, toe--to complement the free fluid lines of many of the new fashions, reports Leath­ er Industries of America. Concurrently, pantsuits, midis and maxis call for footwear with a more cov­ ered look. Designers, there­ fore, have come up with new collections which satis­ fy a variety of needs and tastes. As for leathers afoot for spring '70, the textures most likely to lead the wav are ences of Buffalo Bill are evi­ dent on jackets, vest, pants, bags and belts. BARING FACTS Bathing belles can choose from many crochet suits for surfside, including unlined knits for the daring sun wor­ shipers. the smooth, grained, suede, waxy, glove and genuine patent leathers--followed by embossed, brushed, lustre. Definitely "with it" as the decade begins are leather sandals--sandals for street wear, the suburbs or coun­ try, pool-side and patio. The citified sandal is itself split in style feeling between urban casualness and a sort of light-footed elegance. The city-casual look is achieved through use of the waxy, glove, grained and brushed leathers, set off with western fringe, perfs, brass or tra- punto. Sleeker sandals--in clear and crushed patent, smooth, suede and embossed leathers --may use no trim at all or sport a touch of quilting, shirring or a bit of gold. Platform soles appear on both types, and heels are now higher, still thick. In a clearly "countryish" mood are sandals trimmed with heavy stitching, the boldest brass and perfora­ tions, and low to mid-high "clunky" heels. Generous platforms, and often wedges, show up on these. The other side of the casual coin is stamped with the moccasin, tie and T-strap mary-jane, all in soft-easy leathers. Some are definitely flat-heeled. The opened-up pump--ex­ posed toe and/or heel, cut­ away sides--accessorizes lean, clingy clothes. Leathers are soft, n stantial are soft, heels high and sub- Also in the picture is the strap-pump with slim strap across the instep, circling the ankle, or T-ing up. The enclosed pump has "up front" detailing. Inter­ esting treatments include vamp insets, raised tongues, monk-straps, hardware, em­ phatic perfing, trapunto or big bows. Framing the upper might be a "wheeled" or stitched down extension sole, or there may be a slim platform. In after-five footwear this spring, look for new lustre and "wet look" leathers, metallic-toned leathers, pat­ ent leather in clear and crushed finishes, fine suede and smooth leathers. Color comes clean and clear. Pastels have more depth, no haziness.

Any type of pasta must be stirred frequently during the cooking process to insure good, even cooking. A small amount of olive oil or salad oil should be added to the water. You will find that this will be a great help in pre­ venting the food from sticking together when it is drained. Never attempt to cook any type of broad, thick pasta such as lasagne without the addition • of oil. Many cooks say that they find draining the pasta a great help and then rinsing with cold water for a second, then with very hot water.
