In a business largely domi nated by male executives though it’s strictly a feminine one, these two women have a slogan just about anyone in the undergarment business would love to have: "I dreamed I went . . . dancing ... to a diplomatic din ner . . . opened a convention . . . etc., in my MAIDEN FORM BRA.” For 30-some-odd years Ida Rosenthal has been in the "engineering” business. “You see,” she told me. “it’s more a question of engineering than fashion in our business.” First comes fit and then the trimmings. The uplifting business in which she and her daughter are engaged is classified by her as “working with what ENGAGEMENTS Goldberg-Cramer Mr. and Mrs. Arthur J.

She shook her head and said. What happened to the slogan? It died fast and so did the firm. Facts galore came pouring out during the luncheon.

The party was Oriental in theme and to carry it out a special batch of fortune cookies had been ordered from a Chi nese bakery. The strips of paper were to quote Lilly and were made to read something like “Lilly Say, girl who wear lots of eye makeup should under play lipstick color.” All the words of beauty and fashion wisdom how ever went astray and some Chinese restaurant devotees on opening their fortune cookies probably wondered what Is was all about. 7 Corners • Silver Spring • F Street '’'■ “ / Classic Flattery for Mi^es, t : %SK% Petites and Half Sizes Our famous onc-button suit can be -' worn every w here . . . softened with , ./>, a frilly blouse or strikingly 2\, ' - severe with a simple scarf.
