Rich embroidery, lush color combinations are exquisitely woven materials distinguished the elegant styles presented by Greek designers in the Greek Cavalcade of Fashions at luncheon in the Waldorf-Astoria yesterday. The "Cavalcade" included fashions worn by Minoan ladies--the Parisians of more than 2,000 years ago to those of modern Athens. Many of the 28 local costumes in the collection, still worn in Greece today, are as much as 500 years old. All of the modes shown were assembled by Muriel King, fashion and design specialist of the ECA Mission to Greece. Proceeds of the show will go Queen Fredericka's Fund for the War Orphans of Greece.

Along with the lavish costumes of the past, present-day Athenian designers held their own with their exhibition of apparel for every hour of the day. Toto, for instance, combined a filmy foam nightgown in classical line with a terra-cotta cape. A dream of white chiffon nightgown by Vassiliadi had a matching gee with satin applique and silver embroidered belt. Black lace embroidery on the hem, collar and cuffs of a beige raw silk dress was shown by Tsouchlos. B.

L. Cabbage Leaf Hat Contemporary Comment Winning Topper By RUTH G. DAVIS Society Editor A committee meeting most unusual was that held by the group planning for the Spring card party of the Parent Teacher Club of Brooklyn Friends School on May 6 in the gymnasium of the school, 112 Schermerhorn St. Mrs. Charles T.

Dawson is chairman of the bridge and Mrs. Harry Rutenberg is co chairman. This unique meeting took place at a dinner in the gymnasium. To liven things up, each committee woman was invited by a cute verse to wear a humorous bonnet, "not to cost more than five dimes." All did, and the results were so amusing and attractive. that the judges, Mrs.

Evelyn Heath, recording secretary of the club, and Mrs. Vernon Brown, had a hard time deciding the winners. Mrs. Arthur C. Hallan won first prize for her creation of cabbage leaves and a fetching pink nose veil.

She wore it to the school from her home on the Heights and was talking to Mrs. Dawson at the school for quite a while before Mrs. Dawson suddenly noticed that the charming hat she had been admiring was really a "funny one." Miss Dorothy Rodge, who will arrange the decorations for the bridge, wore a chartreuse crepe paper hat trimmed with purple and American beauty ribbon and daffodils and easily won the prize for being the most spectacular. Mrs. Carl Lauter and Mrs.

Andrew Gudath won the prizes for the most useful hats, wearing concoctions of kitchen utensils and dish cloth. Mrs. Otto E. Von Au wore an appropriate hat, having made it out of bridge cards, a tally and the bridge invitations with a pencil Price Rise Noted as Crop Shipments Show Decline By ELSA STEINBERGER Food Editor A spell of cool weather in season for some crops is drawing shipments and increased prices among vegetables are increas-, ing in supply, resulting in better prices. Among meats, calves are plentiful, making all cuts of veal exceptionally good buys.

Pork still is in the lead, and the supply of beef and lamb is normal. There are more of the larger chickens, bringing lowered prices. Butter and eggs remain the same. Bacon is exceptionally good now and is being featured in all stores. Hams are in good supply and prices are the same.

Among the items which have (increased in price during the week are asparagus, beets, broccoli, cabbage, celery, escarole and iceberg lettuce. Southern asparagus is not of the best quality, but that from California is good. Although cabbage prices are up slightly, the quality is good. Florida corn continues to be of good quality and prices remain the same. There are more snap beans coming from Florida, but quality varies widely.

Good quality bunched carrots are available at land prices show little change. Strawberries are in the luxury class. Apples are in moderate supply, with a wide range of prices, due to quality and ply. Honeydews from Chile and cantaloups from Mexico are available. Warmer weather should increase local supplies of many of these items within the next few weeks.

California just as the Florida to a close has made for light for several items. Other items prices slightly lower than last week. There cauliflower. is a A moderate supply supply of cucumbers is in the market than last week, so prices have dropped somewhat. Okra Scarce There are moderate supplies of eggplant, some from Cuba, and quality is fairly good.

Okra is fairly scarce and high in price. Mushroom prices are reported to be lower than for some time, with fairly plentiful supplies. Onions of all kinds are plentiful, so use them often. For Spring salads you will find lions radishes, from New scallions and dandeJersey, Boston, iceberg, romaine and escarole, as well as green peppers and tomatoes. While Michigan hothouse rhubarb is good, prices are the highest of the season because of demand.

Florida oranges are priced lower than last week and those from California remain the same. There is a moderate supply of grapefruitlof Kallman Home Society Bazar This Week The Kallman Home Society will hold its annual bazar at the Kallman Home for Children, 8515 Ridge Boulevard, today starting at 8 p.m. and on Saturday, The feature attraction will be the Smorgasbord which will be served on Saturday from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Music will be supplied during dinner by the Kallman Home Band.

There also will be sound motion pictures shown on Saturday evening. Futile Flare Pans and kettles with straight, up-and-down sides are most convenient for use on modern ranges. Cooking space on most modern ranges is limited. Thus, when several pans are in use at the same time straight sides allow them to stand together more closely. In contrast, those with flaring sides may jostle each other out position.

Ponder Marriage Mary Haworth's Mail Without Love for a feather. The most-becoming-hat prize was won by Mrs. Sidney A. Bernstein, president of the club, for an arrangement of red and green plastic bowls held together with yellow strawberries. Mrs.

Dawson also had a good idea, wearing "flying saucers" held together with wire. They became rather limp though because the wire didn't hold. The classes of the school are donating special prizes one of which will be a coveted pair of tickets to "South Pacific." AND SPEAKING of fancy hat parties reminds us of the one that was held by the Heights Casino early in the year. Outstanding among them was "Cocktails for Two," worn by Miss Phebe Dunn, which consisted of two actual Manhattan cocktail glasses complete with a cherry in each and worn at a dashing angle. A GAY TEENAGE PARTY was held recently by the Senior A class of St.

Angela Hall Academy. It was a "Bunny Hop," the first of its kind to be held at the school. The dance took place in the auditorium of the school and Dick Lesko and his band provided the music. The auditorium was decorated, as one might guess, with bunnies and balloons in yellow and orchid coloring, and which were removed at the. conclusion of the dance by souvenir seekers.

The event closed with the young people singing "Mother Beloved." All proceeds will go to the Society for the Propagation of the Faith. The committee chairmen included Camille Miceli, chairman; Elise Glynn, publicity; Patricia Campbell, decorations; Joan Santuci, tickets, and Agnes De Rose, refreshments. DEAR MARY HAWORTH -Do you think it is wrong to marry simply in order to have a family, something both of us want very much? I am 29 and Cliff is 28, and we have known each other for about 15 years. A short time ago we started having an affair, something unprecedented in our experience. We had dated together off and on during the past ten years, and in recent months found ourselves confiding in each other more and more, prior to the affair.

I doubt that either of us could explain why, after all these years, we suddenly develloped this" confidential relaItionship, in which we dis- Mary Haworth covered many common interests and similar goals, including a mutual desire for home life and children. In Love? Our respective educational and social backgrounds are on a par; there are no marked differences in taste; we both have good health and hold well paid positions, and I am willing to give up my job to take care of a home and have children. So, are we justified, or would we be using common sense, to go ahead and marry each other, to have the things we both really want? During all the years we've known each other, neither Cliff nor I has found a person we thought would be "the right one" for life companionship. But is it possible that we are "the right one" for each other, and just haven't sensed it with deep conviction yet? Please give us your advice. C.

B. DEAR C. human beings have more in common than they have of difference, if only they knew it. In substance we are all like in needs, feelings, desires and aspirations, with some more fortunately nurtured than othersthat's the main difference. As to why you've recently developed an intimately relationship with each other, after 15 years' desultory acquaintanceship, it is probably an unreasoning attempt at mutual defense against loneliness of spirit, that weighs on both of you, and that you don't recognize you manage to keep too busy to "know thyself" in the realm of feeling.

Loneliness of spirit has to do with an uneasy sense of being a supernumerary on the human scene, a "dispensable" man or woman. Flight from such distress usually consists in grabbing at relatedness with the nearest person who will respond, and in the case of unmarried persons, usually the aim is to find "romance," as the supposed key to abundant living. Character Blend I think this explains why you and Cliff finally formed an alliance, like two castaways on a desert isle discovering each other with ciprocal sympathy, if not with romantic ardor. Could a good marriage be made on that basis? I am sure that many have been developed from very much the same materials and the same approach. What is important in the contracting parties is not grand passion nor a conviction of special affinity, but rather good reliable character and good common sense.
