A AftURY PARK EVENING PRESS, Feb. 13, 1968 17 NONCONFORMIST DESIGNER Quilting Learned as Child Offers Pastime for Adult Gimmicks, Show Stoppers Ignored by Jo Copeland RUMSON Feb. 6, 1951, will be a lifelong memory for Miss Edna Bogart, 1 Lakeside Ave. She was one of only four persons in her railroad car who survived the Woodbridge train wreck which took such a high toll of Shore lives. She was seriously injured, requiring daily nursing care for nearly two years.

She still has many health problems resulting from that fateful night. A career woman in the needle trade, Miss Bogart had to abandon her daily work from r- 4, then on. She has found solace and relaxation by using her needle in the old art of quilting which she learned at her mother's knee. Prior to the accident, Miss Bogart had been forewoman for a number of manufacturing firms including Conover's and Kleinert's in Red Bank; Steiner in Long Branch, and Clark Thread, New York. She was employed by Clark when she commuted on "The Broker." After she resumed activity, she sought a pleasant, interesting pastime she could do at home.

Always skilled with a needle, she took inspiration from her bedding, which she and her mother had quilted in the attic of their former home. Quilting took longer alone the hours go faster when you are chatting. Proper material isn't as easy to come by. Stores don't stock squares for quilters as they used to. By diligence she has managed to find some interesting cotton prints and she has made a variety of patterns, wedding ring, double wedding ring, pinwheel, and prairie queen.

Some she lines with sheeting and others with dacron. Those she and her mother made were lined with unbleached muslin. Some she quilts completely, but the majority she does only the top and pays the women of the Oceanport Mehodist Church to do the quilting. Miss Bogart cares for her home and does her errands by car. She doesn't belong to any organizations and doesn't do too much visiting because "my diet Navy blue silk faille coat dress (left) is tied with white silk belt with hand-knotted white fringe and white passementerie (braided) buttons on pockets and cuffs.

Any perceptive person could foresee the seeds of Ro istic for us to use Paris as our yardstick to determine how American women snould dress. We don't copy them in other ways of life, why this? Fashion should reflect the way one lives or it's not true art." One reason she thinks the Paris designs are so highly touted is this: "Designers and buyers love that trip to Paris so they're going to have to justify it. They're not going to come back and say there's nothing there." Likened to Pendulum While she herself shudders at the stunts, Jo Copeland frankly admits that "in order to focus public attention on the change in fashion, change has to be exaggerated.

It's like a pendulum swinging way out. But in knowledgeable hands a new look becomes an acceptable thing." Miss Copeland knows how to interpret change for the woman who wants to look feminine, chic, and with it no matter what her age. "My clothes have no age," she said, offering her spring samples as "Older women who wear my clothes have a youthful look and the younger ones take on an elegance and assurance."

By SARAH HINTON Women News Service NEW YORK Jo Copeland is one New York designer who hasn't succumbed to the mod, mad whirl of fashion sweeping about her. On Seventh Avenue, where she's vice president and head designer of Pattullo-Jo Copeland she's known as "the wom an who refuses to conform." Miss Cooeland has never put a single miniskirt in her collections and no matter what anybody else does with hemlines, hers are staying at two inches above the knee. "A de signer should interpret her clothes for the marKet sne caters to. I don't think the mini skirt belongs on the women who buy my clothes," she remarked over a cottage cheese and fruit salad lunch her snowroom recently.

She's not interested in attracting the "stoppers" her word fnr MhihitionLsts nor does she wow the fashion press and buyers with "tiasn-ot-ine-mo-ment gimmicks" because they're dead after two appearances and a woman should be able to get some wear out of her clothes."

'Dress Impact on Behavior' "The way we dress has a great impact on our behavior," she pointed out. "A vulgar dress automatically reflects that attitude in a woman, even though she may not be aware of it. She becomes more brazen.

It is not essential that valentines be postmarked Loveland (Colo, or Iowa). In some cases, Friends Good Hope or even Reform (Ala.) might be more appropriate, if you're taking the "contemporary" approach to love-missive sending. With this in mind, researchers combed the post office directory to find postmarks for almost every situation. Had an argument? Try Hope (Idaho) or Hasty (Colo.) or perhaps you want to say a little more than is on the card? Then Eager or Unity (Maine) might be appropriate.

Valentine senders in the Midwest would find Loves Park (111.) and Lovewell (Kan.) close at hand. Those on the Eastern seaboard might try Loveville For those who worship Eros a postmark from Success (Mo.) or Valhalla (N.Y.) would be a Subtle (Ky.) reminder of Valentine's Day.

All-Women Trip Slated To Antarctic LONDON A young brunette Scotswoman hopes to lead the first all-female expedition to the Antarctic this year. Mrs.

Molly Porter, a 30-year-old schoolteacher, and five other women plan to make the expedition to the island of South Georgia with a grant from the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust. The chairman of the trust, the Earl of Cromer, said it would be one of seven expeditions to various parts of the world to be financed by the trust in 1968. "Our big problem will be paying the costs of a ship to take us there," said Mrs. Porter, who lives in Kingussie, Scotland. "It will probably be a Danish ship with a male crew.

We would start from Britain." Lord Cromer told newsmen, "We particularly believe in encouraging women who don't often have much of a chance of adventure. The expedition will tackle an unclimbed peak. The dogs will have to be left behind, and the ladies will have to pull their sleds uphill themselves." The others on the expedition are expected to be Jo Fuller, 27, Barbara Spark, 25, Carol McNeill, 23, Kathy Bilworth, 23, and Pat Wood, 34. All are experienced mountaineers. "The trip will probably be in November to get the benefit of the Antarctic summer," Mrs.

Porter said. Bobbin your finger and it sprays just clear water. My husband put a mild detergent mixed with some water in the sprayer jar. This gave him soapy water to wash with and clear water from the attached hose to rinse with. All right there in one hand.

The sprayer will hold enough soapy mix to do an average size car. Just be sure to dilute the detergent a bit so it won't be too thick for the siphon tube.

Not even an expert could have told this instant potato salad from "the kind mother used to make." Mrs.

J. Swain Dear Heloise: My husband discovered an easier way to wash the car. He uses an insecticide sprayer, the kind that attaches to any ordinary garden hose and has little hole in the top of the attachment. When insecticide is wanted, you put a finger on hole and it has a tube which siphons the insecticide to the hose and mixes with water and sprays it. If you don't want insecticide, remove ence-itis.

Recovery was out of the question. For posterity, Romance's tragic life should be recorded. It was born back when men were men, women were women and even a child could tell the difference. Noah Webster, who wrote the brief biography, said with his customary redundancy that Romance was "love of a romantic nature." He later amplified that definition to include "appeal of the heroic, adventurous, remote, mysterious or ideal- "no color" creations were loaded with rich appliques and embroideries. As always, Italian fabrics were a smash hit.

The designers paraded fantastic silks, shantungs, and flannels In snow white, beige, and pearl gray. The Italians reached back to the 30s for the casual grace of this year's styles, although hemlines on the average were established two inches above the knee. Elegant, elongated V-necked pullovers show white shirt or scarf and end in pleated or flared skirts. Cue From Past Tiziani took a cue from the past with face veils hanging from felt fedoras. It was a big show for the shirt blouse.

With frills or As-cots at the neck, they were worn with skirts under small-waisted coats in place of shifts. The matching coat and dress declined in popularity. Accessories were another big hit. There were enamel brooches the size of dishes, wooden belts and pearl studs for shoes. Lynn Travis Bank Henry Hudson H.

mance's destruction, Nourished as it was on tales of chivalry and heroism, Ro mance died a little every time a frail, fair lady immobilized an attacker with one karate chop and then tenderly, with one hand, lifted her erstwhile male defender to his feet. Love maybe, but Romance? Mystery Flees With the advent of the brief est bikinis, then the miniskirts, mystery and remoteness fled. Romance was left glassy-eyed from looking on beauty bare down to the last mole. In other days poets rhapso dized about a lovely eyebrow or the liquefaction of Julia's clothes, but who, even among our underground poets, would pen an apostrophe to an appendectomy scar? Romance was suffering notice ably by the time boys and girls became indistinguishable Dy dress, hair, and mannerisms. Those mature enough to grow beards were imbued with a certain romanticism out of gratitude for the easier identification.

No one can say definitely when the disease took a fatal turn. Hippies Help Certainly Romance became stifled when the hippie move ment turned its back on those decadent symbols of middle-class materialism, soap, and deodorants. Then swiftly came a series of setbacks: Mere toddlers were to study sex education. Scientists probed endlessly elucidated clinically about those things Romance preferred kept in the dark. Frank discussion of the Pill became parlor conversation.

Science of Love The last lingering illness set in about the time computers began to make a science of love. Romance knew it could not survive date by data, engagement by electronics, marriage by machine so it took to its bed forever. By removing trial and error from friendship, by diluting all the delicious discoveries two lovers could make about each other, by banishing forever the possibilities of refreshing quarrels and inductably pleasant making-up periods, scientific matematching doomed re-mance. With nothing left for it to do, Romance faded away as gracefully and as unmourned as lace from valentines. Today a Feb.

The palest of colors, graceful, more fitted lines, and slightly lower hemlines caught on as new fashion ideas when Italian couturiers unveiled their latest collections last month. The mod look, miniskirts and boyishness became history. The Italian designers weren't being reactionary.

"Italians used to be known for their crazy styles," notes Eleanora Lambert, president of the Designers of America fashion group. "So, in a sense, it is adventurous of them to have become serious, posed, even conservative." Many buyers here for the recent shows agreed that the new line had promise. Orders began flowing in, with free-spending buyers laying down from for daytime models and even more for evening gowns. No Color Creations A big favorite among the buyers was Valentino, whose HINTS FROM Blowing Dear Folks: I'm pushing 50 real hard and have been sewing many years. I finally figured out something that has bothered me all this time.

You know all the dust and lint that accumulates around the bobbin in a sewing machine and clogs it up? Well, the best way I've found to remove it is when you change the color of thread on your bobbin, just Blow, Blow, Blow while it's out! So instead of letting this stuff collect and clog your machine, blow it out each time. It's sure much easier than cleaning it out with tweezers or brush and besides, you might save a repair bill.
