White shoes may not be worn after Labor Day. And for full fall regalia, please wait for the first cool day or the first snowfall, whichever comes first. DEAR MISS MANNERS: When my father gets In a bad mood, he screams and shouts and carries on over the least little thing. This morning, it was the toaster. By JUDITH MARTIN DEAR MISS MANNERS: I promise you, I didnt start wearing white shoes until Memorial Day, which you said was the first possible time to do so, regardless of the weather.

But when do I start wearing dark things? I wouldn't dream of changing from summer clothes until you tell me to, but I would appreciate your letting me know in advance, as we get a lot of snow here and I'd hate to be left standing here in my white shoes and sundress, waiting for your answer. 994 8833 22 Fashion Square Mall DEAR READER: No, and that is not considered being out of control, either.

"I LET OUT a whoop that could be heard for blocks," he said, recalling the day he received written notice from the commission that he had been chosen the winner out of 265 Arizona entries.

"I couldn't believe my luck," he said. "I didn't think I had a chance when I entered the contest, but I submitted two chapters of a novel I'm writing and 14 poems anyway. I've only lived in Phoenix for a year and a half and had no idea how stiff the competition was." Johnson has a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Iowa. He also attended a writers' workshop in the graduate school at the university. His works have appeared in the American Poetry Review, Iowa Review, Poetry, Atlantic and Three Stances of Modern Fiction by R.
