The women of the Keflavik
Officers’ Wives’ Club and a large
showing of guests went through
the “Looking Glass” into a world
of enchantment at their last
week’s luncheon. On Wednesday,
November 19, the latest fashions
for milady from far and wide
were presented by the Style Cent-
er and Saxone’s Shoe Store of
Keflavik Airport.
The eight lovely models were
members of the Officers’ Wives’
Club and each presented a series
of four ensembles to represent the
casual type clothing for morning
wear, daytime or afternoon attire,
alluring creations for the cocktail
hour, and exquisite ball gowns for
formal soirees.
In the casual group were in-
cluded pencil-slim, tapered pants,
pedal pushers, ski pants and
skirts with appropriate toppings
of sweaters and blouses, glamor-
ized rain-coats, and car coats of
unique design and fabric.
In the daytime category were
dresses, suits, and coats showing
fabulous new uses of color and
materials and indicative of the
return from the chemise to a
more normal waistline.
The exciting collection of un-
usual dresses for five and after
emphasized the new Empire sil-
houette and displayed a wide range
of fabrics from jersey to peau de
soie.
The final grouping of evening
gowns displayed both short and
floor length designs in a choice
of many luxurious materials —
net, satin, taffeta, and lace. A
lovely bridal gown fashioned of
lace and tulle provided a fitting
climax for a pleasant afternoon
of fashion-viewing.
Comedy relief was provided by
Mrs. Avon Fletcher who modelled
an impossible outfit for a lady-
in-waiting and gave a practical
demonstration of how to wear the
Icelandic mink, more commonly
known as the parka.
The fashion show was presented
to an even larger audience the
same evening when it was televised
through the facilities of A. F. T. S.
Modelling the ensembles from
the Style Center and the shoes,
gloves, and handbags from Sax-
one’s were the following: Mes-
dames Henry G. Thorne, Jr.,
Richard W. Philbrick, William N.
Byers, Robert E. Carswell, Har-
old E. Etheridge, William C.
Humphreys, Lee J. Lockwood, and
Joseph Wroblewski. The commen-
tary was given by Mrs. Albert S.
Gainey.

world began has any record been
kept of man’s actions. Only the
last two minutes of this time
period includes the civilization of
Europe.
“In the Twentieth Century we
have ended the isolation for two-
thirds of the world’s peoples,” he
noted. Dr. Furbay then predicted:
“The people in the underdeveloped
countries of the world will add
to the contributions of the world
in the next 100 years.”
“Now the whole world is closer
together than the thirteen colonies
were in George Washington’s
time”, said the educator-airman.
In this connection, Dr. Furbay
pointed out: “My job takes me a
quarter of a million miles a year,
through 25 countries on four con-
tinents.” This would have been
impossible 25 years ago.
