JOURNEYS TO PLEASURE Trifles Mean a Lot in Traveling By FRANCES KOLTUN make the sum of life," Dickens, a trifle we're pleased to report to you. They also can do a lot to make a woman traveler teU-possessed, soignee, and a raging success wherever she goes. Here then, are some important trivia, to file in your notebook on places all over the world and to help you feel like an insider: Don't take a bikini to Hawaii. Posters may give you the impression that all is lush sensuality in the 50th state, but remember that much of the tone of Hawaii was set by miss ionaries from New England. A two piece bathing suit in a bright floral print is, however, just MissKoItun the going Hawaiian street look is a pair of skinny, midcalf length pants, no shoes, and a loose jacket top.

If you can't put it together at home, wait till you get to the islands. The shop at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, for instance, has marvelous silks and sportswear. Hawaiian make-up note: take a lipstick more orange than blue in tone. The brilliant, hard sunlight makes lipstick and nail polish with a blue base seem wrong, coral tones just MORE MAKE-UP notes, Parisian and Portuguese: wear little face powder and a light base in Paris and Lisbon, Most chic Parisians wear no face powder, preferring a youthful shininess. In any case, take make-up to both places that is a shade lighter than usual because the clear, cold light that has inspired painters for centuries makes every bit of face make-up look much heavier than it does anywhere else.

This famous old shop sells everything from jam to jade. sports clothes. The look of the tight pants and little knitted tops is quite different in Brigitte Bardot country from the look here or in Paris, and the clothes are not expensive. You can, incidentally, have a wonderful pair of leather sandals made to measure in a day for $5, If you're invited to dine in London and your hosts tell you it's black tie, don't panic. It means a dinner jacket for the men, a cocktail dress for the women.

It doesn't mean, as in America, that them woman must be really formally dressed too. The water in London is hard as nails and taking a bath is a battle rather than a pleasure unless you soften it. The bright side of this: a perfect excuse to drop in at one of the nicest perfume shopes in on Jermyn Street stock up on bath oils and water softener, in scents as delicious as an English garden. Bad jokes about English food to the contrary, London does have some excellent restaurants.

We'll be giving you more travel trivia from time to Racers Fear Streets of Paris By ART BUCHWALD is something we iuspected for a long time, but couldn't prove, and that is that most professional racing drivers would prefer to drive on any track in the world than any street in Paris. This theory was confirmed for us by Masten Gregory, an American who is considered one of the five top racing drivers in the or Id.

Mr. Gregory is a member of Lucky Casner 's Cam oredi team, which expects to race in Europe this year as an American team Art Buchwald (the other members besides Mr, Casner are Graham Hill and Stirling Moss). Mr. Gregory considers the Etoila one of the most dangerous circuits in the worid and said he will drive seven or eight blocks to avoid going around it. "Why do you consider driving in Paris so dangerous compared to driving in competition?" we asked him.

Mr. Gregory said: "When you're in a race you're driving against 24 or 25 other guys, all of whom you know. But when you're driving in Paris, you're racing against one million Frenchmen, and you don't know any of them. "Racine drivers respect each other and obey the rules. If they don't there's hell to pay when you catch them in the pits.

But Frenchmen have no logic about their driving and you never know what they're going to do. Every street light is like the start of the Grand Prix at Le Mans. I've been racing in Europe for 11 years, but the only time I really break into a cold sweat is when I drive around the Place da la Concorde." WE SUGGESTED THAT maybe racing drivers didn't make good street drivers, but Mr. Gregory denied this. "It's true that we anticipate a lot more than the average driver, who usually doesn't anticipate at all," he said, "but I think I'm a pretty good driver in traffic.

Yet it's hard for a professional driver to drive with amateurs, particularly when all the amateurs think they're professionals." Surprisingly, Mr. Gregory thinks the best highway drivers are the Italians. "They're very, very fast, but they love sports cars and know how to handle them." "Also," he said, "when you pass an Italian on the highway, he holds no bitterness if you've beaten him fair and square. French drivers don't like to be passed on the road and feel their pride is at stake." Mr. Gregory said English drivers were good drivers, but English roads were bad.

The Swiss and Belgians had pretty good roads, but were bad drivers. "The I Germans drive like the Swiss, only they get madder if you pass them." Mr. Gregory thought the perfect car for driving in Paris was a 1941 unpainted without fenders. SPEAKING OF DRIVING, it seems a golfer starting on the first tee drove his first ball out of bounds. As a matter of fact, it curved off the course and disappeared between two houses.

The golfer played out his round, but when he got to the 18th hole he found a man waiting for him. "Were you the man who drove the golf ball between the two houses?" the man asked. "Yes," the golfer replied. "Well, I think you better know. The ball hit a motorcyclist who WEST 4 5 4 3 10 9 8 4 10 7 lost control and almost ran into a truck.

The truck swerved to avoid hitting the motorcyclist, and in so doing crashed into a bus. The bus driver lost control and went over into a ravine, killing 45 people." "My gosh," said the golfer. "I killed 45 people. What should I do?" The man replied: "The next time keep your eye on the ball." I would have been forced to take 7 4 3 2 4 9 8 5 4 2 4k 10 5 3 SOUTH 4 AKQ876 A 5 AK3 A82 The bidding: South West North East 1 4 Pass 2 Pass 3 jfb Pass 4 4 Pass 4 NT Pass 5 4 Pass 5 NT Pass 6 4 Pass 6 4 The year was 1958. Lee Hazen and Sidney Lazard were playing a practice session in preparation for the forthcoming world championship match against Italy when this hand came up.

Hazen was West and Lazard East. Mayb)e South should have opened with a two bid, but he didn't. However, when North responded two clubs and followed with a raise to four spades, South investigated grand slam possibilities by using Blackwood. When North showed one ace by responding five diamonds, and one king by bidding six diamonds. South decided to settle for a small slam.

So Hazen found himself on lead against six spades and came forth with the only opening lead to defeat the contract. He led the six of clubs! Declarer could hardly be blamed for going up with the ace. He did not dare risk a finesse because of the danger that Hazen had led a singleton, in which case the finesse would lose to the king and a club return would be ruffed to defeat the contract. South had no way of knowing that the trumps were divided 4 -0 and that Hazen had all four of them. The danger of a singleton club lead far exceeded the possibility of losing a trump trick.

Declarer found out soon enough where he stood. At trick two he led to the ace of spades. When East showed out, it was all over. He had to lose a spade and a club and go down one. If Hazen had made the normal lead of the queen of hearts, there is no doubt that South would have made the contract.

Declarer would have discovered quickly that he had a trump loser, and ike Old Songs, Silen Movies Are Coming Back By JOHN CROSBY The old songs are coming back. "Blue Moon," which headed the list of hits awhile back, is an old Rodgers and Hart song and just the other day I heard a disk jockey exclaim in tones of wonder about "Mean to Me" which, he found out, Russ Colombo had introduced in the late '20s. He'd thought Frank Sinatra had introduced it in the '40s. It's again in the '60s. Maybe the old movies are coming back, too.

There are a couple of theaters in New York specializing in old silent movies. At the Eighth Street Theater, in Greenwich Village, the attraction is Greta Garbo and John Gilbert in "Flesh John Crosby and the Devil." ABC-TV is featuring old movies STRICTLY PERSONAL Something for Nothing By SYDNEY J. HARRIS It is a melancholy fact of human be learned by most of us only at great expense and people do not appreciate what they get for nothing. I have learned this over the years in connection with public appearances. When I speak before some "charitable" group without a fee, my speech is not considered a contribution to the charity, but is taken for granted.

In most cases, I am scarcely thanked for my efforts. But when I lecture for a big fat fee, the group falls over itself with gratitude, flattery and flowers. An expensive talk is "worth" more, in the estimation of most people. There is, of course, some truth to this. Most speakers who are willing to perform for nothing have an axe to are selling some doctrine, are infatuated with their own verbosity, or simply looking for persona! publicity.

Such persons rarely make good speakers. Yet, no matter how effective the performance, if the speaker has contributed his services, bs is aomehow devalued 'm the eyes of the Syd Harris audience. "You get nolliing for nothing" seems to be the attitude. Actors hate to play benefits for this same reason. An audience which knows an actor is donating his services to a cause tends to be much more critical and indifferent than one which is watching a highly paid performer.

I am sure that a large part of the disaffection felt by most of Europe and Asia for our foreign- aid program is the result of our not demanding a quid pro quo. If we had set up some stiff conditions for foreign aid, had insisted (hat the governments and the people meet some rigid specifications of good works with these funds, our generosity would be better liked and respected. For the same reason, we often feel closer to someone who gives us a loan than to someone who gives us a gift. The donor of a gift is, after a while, felt to be rich gives away money to ease his while the maker of a loan is felt to be friendly. We resent one-sided obligations to any person, and favors we cannot repay soon become psychological burdens.

Whatever is worked for and paid fur (either in money or in suffering) is held valuable. Women have long known this deep psychic truth, and their elusive ways with a man are neither coyness nor coquetry, but tlie sure knowledge that a cheap and easy conquest makes tlie victory seem worthless. on a program called "Silents Please." "Silents Please" was a summer replacement last year and now it's earning its own niche in the regular season. Paul Killiam, who with Saul Turell, is co- producer of the series, claims that this series attracts two disparate age aging fans who saw them the first time around and young kids who weren't even born when they were made. "IWAYBE FOLKS ARE fed up," says Mr.

Killiam. "Maybe only these movies hold fascination for them. Maybe the new generation who were brought up on Westerns and private eyes are fed up, too. Anyway it now seems we have age groups, the old and the young. If we knew the real answer maybe we could fit the shows to fit their needs.

But we can only guess. "Maybe it's only a release from reality. Many of the younger generation have been through a generation of stand-up comics and that has got them interested enough in comedy to watch the Keystone Kops and Buster Keaton. Some of the pies thrown in those pictures were thrown with a delicacy and finesse that has never been equalled." "SILENTS PLEASE" treats the films very seriously and this is a new least new outside of the Museum of Modern Art which treats old films with great reverence. "I used to run the Cabaret Theater in New York where as part of the night's entertainment, we'd show silent films, but we kidded them.

However, we found out the public was more interested in the silent films than the live performances, and as we progressed, we found out we shouldn't kid or lampoon them," Killiam relates. 'Silents Please' will have nar-; ration but it'll be the history of the stars and the picture. Ernie Kovacs is opening and closing the show. He's a film buff himself and he takes the series as seriously as we do." There are some great pictures KEEP IN TRIM Merry-Go-Round Is No Answer; Take It Easy BY IDA JEAN KAIN "I've made up my mind to reduce. I don't care if I lose only a half pound a week, so long as the trend is in the right direction comments a homemaker in her mid-40 '3.

That is a winning attitude and shows sound reasoning. Who make the most successful reducers? Is it those who hold themselves down to a rigid diet for a certain and lose a fast 10 pounds or 20? As a rule, no, for these are the dieters who are most apt to ride the diet merry-go-round. Some of you psychologically must have fast results and, for you, there may be no other diet route. Still, it is helpful to take a fresh look at something as commonplace as your three meals a day. On your present pattern of eating, the weight eased on ever so pounds." This slow gain is proof that your daily meals are just a little too fattening.

Or to express it in terms of calories, your fuel intake is slightly in excess of the amount required daily. This e.xcess, of course, is stored as adipose tissue. The accepted way to deal with accumulated pounds is to "go on a diet." What makes strict dieting so difficult? Frankly, it's hunger. Accustomed as you are to eating well-rounded meals, with a drastic cut in calories you will feel pangs of is little doubt on that score. There is also no question that this initial hunger will lessen in a few weeks.

The crowds are smaller, the palaces are smaller.

Nevertheless, I could hardly be clubbed away from the set when they're playing "The Thief of Baghdad" which was the last word in opulence when I was a kid. "Silents Please" will also show "Orphans of the Storm," a D. W. Griffith film, which I don't think I have ever seen, "The Black Pirate" (which we Douglas Fairbanks buffs consider late and slightly decadent Fairbanks, not in the same league as "Mark of "The Son of the Shiek" with Rudolph Valentino, "Dr. Jekyll and Mr.

Hyde" with John Barrymore, William S. Hart films, the German version of "Dracula," and "The Fall of Babylon." "WE OWN ALL THE Griffith pictures which we bought from the estate two years ago," Killiam said. "We're lucky because we have one of the world's greatest film buffs working for Bill Everson. A film buff is a man who knows when Helen Twelve- trees was where. Bill is a walking encyclopedia on films.

Not a day goes by that he doesn't see half a dozen movies. He does the research, gets all the information to be used on the movie, and helps us get the right scenes." Killiam is also working on a couple of other film on the legend of Valentino, another on movie firsts (the first kiss, first chase scene, first Tarzan, first trick photography). Says Acting Is Job, Fame Just By-Pwduct HOLLYWOOD (AP) David Janssen, active in both TV and movies, says he looks upon acting as primarily a job, with fame and money as by-products. "I'm always unemployed after we wrap up the last job," he says. "There's no sense in having chronic remorse after it's been in the series, some of which you done.

Such reasoning is based on the assumption that you must either go hungry or be fat. Happily, you have another choice. Experiment can be interesting. You can lose 25 excess pounds in a single going hungry.

Subtract 250 calories a day from your regular meals. As a basis for your figuring you need to know that one pound of body fat has a calorie value of 3,500. A simple subtraction of 250 calories a day amounts to 1,750 calories per week, half a pound. Multiply this by 52 weeks and you have a loss of 25-26 pounds, In order to insure good nutrition and well-being, the 250 calories should be subtracted in the "empty" sweet dessert, the extra bread and butter, the second helping. One mother during the time her son was overseas serving his country, decided not to have the bottle of beer and the crackers she had enjoyed with him each evening.

My question is this: Do you think it's proper for him to feel where the weight is coming off? He claims he's checking for flabbiness and that we must strive for good muscle tone, as he calls it.

DEAR ANN: My husband and I have just finished building a lovely home which has been the dream of my life.

Last week my husband's mother and his aunt came to see the house. They suggested a special kind of rubber tile for the bathroom floors. They raved about it, said it was ca.sy to keep and so on. Yesterday my husband came homo with samples of the tile and informed me that the man had been out to measure the floors while I was at the beauty shop. I asked him who had made the selection and he said his mother and aunt.

I'm so furious that he did this without consulting me that I'm considering a divorce. If he thinks their taste is so good maybe he doesn 't need ME at all. Am I justified? FIRE Would you cut off your head to get rid of a headache? Well, it makes much sense as divorcing a man because he let his mother and aunt pick out the bathroom tile. I agree he was inconsiderate and thoughtless. Tell him how you feel and if you are unhappy with their selection insist that it be pulled out and replaced with YOUR choice in a year or so.

By JEAN SPRAIN WILSON AP Fashion Writer Today men turn fibers out of test tubes that look and feel like cashmere, but their Imitations have limitations. They can do nothing to match the romantic lore (or long wearing quality either) of luxury hairs from an Asian goat's belly. Not much else in the feminine wardrobe today has a history that crosses as many centuries, or touches as many cultures and walks of life as something cashmere.

That is why men like Arthur Dery, president of one of the country's largest cashmere garment manufacturing companies, flinches not a whit at the mass production and low selling price of chemistry's fuzzy fibers. "A cashmere sweater is a prestige item like a good mink coat," he says. "You can get something cheaper to look like it but nothing that is as alive, or drapes as well, or wears as long." Since the Roman Caesars' time (and specifically during the past 10 years) man has enhanced the goat hair a bit by whitening it, moth proofing it, and matching it perfectly with colored fabrics of other fibers. Kings' Pride However, even without these 20th century improvements, Kashmir shawls woven of prehistoric patterns were highly prized by ancient emperors. Although the fibers came from Inner Asia, they were first made into scarves and shawls in Srinager, capital of Kashmir, which resulted in the name of cashmere for everything made of the marvelously soft, warm goats' hair.

Later the woven material was traded like rare jewels by French and British courts, then fashioned into scratch-proof underwear to keep royal blood warm in drafty castles. From the beginning of the 16th century. Empress Eugenia, wife of Napoleon II, started a vogue for cashmere scarves despite the hefty price of $500 each. Mother's Helper Are your children avid collectors of almost anything? What seems to you like an untidy mess of junk undoubtedly represents real treasure to them. Try to guide them into a degree of neatness in keeping their collections.

But never throw out those bottle caps (for example) without consultation and willing permission. This rich knit effect in cashmere brocade, shown here in a classic coat dress, is a technique which the Roman emperors never heard of during their ancient love affair with the luxury fiber. A cashmere sweater still costs considerably mora than other kinds. But then a single sweater requires a year's yield of fleece from four to six horned, short- legged goats high in the impenetrable, mountainous areas of Inner Asia. (The higher the goat, the finer the fleece).

And it takes another year for the hair to reach a port for shipment to the textile mills. The soft fleece is plucked, or combed out by hand, collected bit by bit from bushes where the animal scratches itself during molting time. Then bales of it spend months winding around the Great Silk Road in China on the shoulders of coolies, on the backs of yaks, camels and horses, and floating on rafts supported by animal skins until it finally reaches civilization. Following the industrial revolution, England and Scotland led the world in sorting, cleaning, and weaving it into sweaters. But in the past two decades this country has claimed a part of the world market.

Improved Techniques Still, until very recently, the very nature of cashmere limited its versatility. Certain kinds of dark, heavy guard hairs were almost impossible to separate. Tlie results were colors with specks in This 1961 version mere shows how the versatility has with zcger So has the sign, as is indicated this color coordinated digan and fly front skirf by Dalton.
