Page Four THE TWIG December 11, 1969 Merry Fashions for Christmas By Dale Cunningham Crushed velvet, ribbed knits, and maxis of all sorts will bring extra warmth to the holiday firesides, and add extra coziness to the Christmas season. Long dinner skirts and scoop- necked jumpers in anything from solid and ptaid wools to quilted prmts are eiegant at small get- togethers or evening parties, 'ihe basic black and wmier brown are out tor Christmas — it’s bright, ro mantic hues ot red — from pmk to dark rose — and green. There s lots 01 lavender, too. J-or a solid com bination, join hot pink and kelly green, and sash it in matching coiors. When friends start to gatncr in cus tomary Christmas tradition, domi nate tne scene in a wide-legged pant and vest costume, perhaps in deep wine velvet, i-or a less lormal oc casion, the ribbed-knit long sweater and matching pants are great. Dresses seem to almost be lost in the iniiJtration ot the pants/vest cult, but evening party diesses are still and always will be the height of style—short, ultra-feminine in their simplicity, and like the silk and crepe blouses, clingy. You’ll see a lot of sparkley silvers and golds by the alieady radiantly decorated tiees. When you step outside into the nippy frost or icy snow, your maxi coat will more than keep you warm, and put you right on top as far as fashion goes. Double breasted and belted, tiiey’ll take you anywhere.

A new addition to the gold chain is the long pearl chain—long enough to knot and be worn with the dressier pants or dresses.

HUDSON BELK GIVING IS THE JOY SHOPPING IS THE FUN Wendell Burton and Liza Minnelli in a scene from “The Sterile Cuckoo.” (Photo courtesy of Paramount Pictures.) — Movie Review — w Cuckoo": Study of Character By Donna Williams The startling fact about “The Sterile Cuckoo” is that someone has managed to make Liza Minnelli look ugly. Once again we recall Patty Duke, and more recently Barbra Striesand, for their theme—de fense—recurs here. The difference is, however, that Pookie Adams doesn’t recognize her indictment of the “weirdoes” in the world for the defense mechanism it truly is. Unlike Patty or Barbra, she doesn’t want to licic the world, or even join it. She has too much fear to entertain any such thoughts. “Please, don’t let’s be weirdoes,” she pleads suddenly from the midst of an embrace. it’s difficult to say quite how Pookie and Jerry developed love be tween them. This reviewer believes that she simply attached herself to him and wore down his defenses. After a barrage of letters, tele grams, phone calls, and pictures, the poor boy simply had to succumb. Once he has given in and ac cepted his fate, the story proceeds to show the course of first love, modern in some ways and classic in others. The title of “The Sterile Cuckoo” lends meaning to the story. The set ting is collegiate and on the surface, the movie is intended solely for a college-age audience. Yet beneath the plot lies a searching character analysis and personality study that can be fascinating to anyone.
