The tightly fitted bodice, adorned with Alen- con lace and studded with seed pearls, featured a portrait neckline. Off-the- shoulder melon sleeves were graced at the shoulder with delicate taffeta bows. The slightly dropped waistline flowed to a full taffeta skirt and chapel-length train which was bordered with a taffeta and lace ruffle. A float of ivory illusion, in multi- layers, gathered around a wreath of silk flowers and stems of tiny seed pearls extended the length of her train. She wore a single strand of pearls.

The table was centered with a large arrangement of burgundy and white gladiolas, roses and daisies in silver and crystal containers. The hostesses' gifts to the honoree were a set of silver trays. 'Dry clean only' isn't for everyone There are four kinds of people who buy garments with a label inside that reads, "DRY CLEAN ONLY." There are those who do not declare all of their income to the government, and those who cannot read a word of English.

I BELONG to the fourth group. We're idealists who never believe a bird will spritz us when we are indoors. We never imagine there will be a fresh blueberry (for which there is no antidote) on a park bench. We never consider the odds of reaching for salt and having our bosom drag through the gravy on our roast beef. No, we just dance along the yellow brick road like we have some sort of immunity to the stains and spots of life.

Clothing manufacturers wait for people like me to be born people who pick up a garment that looks like you can throw it in the washing machine and who never read the label until we have fallen in love with it and taken it home. I would like to think I am the same person when I wear a DRY CLEAN ONLY as I am when I'm wearing a MACHINE WASHABLE, BUT WHO AM I kidding? I'm as tense as a bullfighter entering the arena with irregularity problems. As I slide a pure silk dress over my head (that I THOUGHT was polyester when I bought it), I pinch my lips together until they turn white. Not good enough I still get lipstick on the collar. AS I wash my hands, water splashes down the front of it.

The oil from the car door grabs at it. When I walk into a room, friendly dogs come out of nowhere and small children with sticky fingers throw their arms around my neck. Speaking of necks, I am careful not to put makeup on it, yet it secretes a ring-around-the-collar that cries for the work of a professional cleaner. What's a woman to do? I bought a little cotton jacket the other day that I thought was "safe." It was one of those casula, perma-wrinkle things where you pushed the sleeves up and wore it over slacks. I threw inhibitions to the winds.

I ate tomatos in it and an ice cream bar. I stood under trees, pumped my own gas and brushed my teeth while wearing it. When I went to toss it into the washer, I saw the label, "YOU KNOW WHAT."
