For the past 12 years Frankie has kept a record of Mrs. Ford's likes and dislikes.

What she has in her closet, the sizes, colors, and whose clothes she seems to favor. When Mrs. Ford got the word of President Nixon's impending resignation and went out to greet reporters in front of the Fords' Alexandria, home, she was wearing a Frankie Welch shirtwaist of supima cotton printed with the flowers of the 50 states. "Ironically, she was supposed to come to the shop that day," says Frankie. Assembled there for her approval were sketches for her fall wardrobe complete with fabric swatches from Halston, Kas-per, Geoffrey Beene, Oscar De La Renta, and Gloria Sachs.

All American designers. "She seems to have more Raspers in her closet," Mrs. Welch discovered, looking through her record cards. THE FIRST LADY a size 6 Has a finely honed style sense. She was once a model and dancer, and has the gracefulness and the posture that makes what she wears even more attractive.

"She knows what she wants. I would say she leans toward casual elegance." It is a Frankie Welch dress made by Japanese born has also come up with a congressional seal scarf that members of the house and senate buy and then sign with their own names for special gifts. MRS. WELCH HAS achieved fame for her Cherokee alpha-, bet print that has been made -into large silk scarves that have been framed and hung in many U.S. embassies throughout the world.

When she launched her book, "Indian Jewelry" (Mrs. Welch is one sixteenth Cherokee), the party was attended by Mrs. Ford, who wore one of Fran-kie's Indian jewelry adaptations. According to Mrs. Welch, the first lady has two color palette preferences.

There are the "brights" like the turquoise, green and peach she enjoys wearing at night, and the "pales." Somewhere in there, too, is a leaning toward navy blue and brown. Mrs. Ford has been ahead of fashion where many women have been concerned. She believed in wearing capes as far back as three years ago. "She'll be adding some more," says Mrs.

Welch, since capes are so graceful to wear and "she can just shed them easily when she enters someplace." The new first lady is fashion wise. Not because she was once in the fashion business, but because 20 years in the public spotlight have made her aware that being comfortable in clothes, being well dressed and looking well thought out makes the business of being constantly photographed that much easier. prices! 5 i I yi I Save More at these August Sale Prices!

Erma Bombeck thing is getting out of hand. I saw a man with a bumper sticker that read, "THIS IS A MAFIA STAFF CAR" cut right in front of another car with a sticker that read, "STICK IT IN YOUR EAR, FELLA." I even found my husband the other night in the dark garage putting a bumper sticker on our son's car that read, "THIS CAR SHOULD BE CONDEMNED." I don't know where it is all going to end.

Maybe letting it all hang out on the bumper of our car is the answer to all our frustrations. But until tempers settle down, I think I'll stick with my bumper that reads, "DRIVE DEFENSIVELY. BUY A TANK." The other day I pulled up to a traffic light and observed the car in front of me. There must have been eight stickers in the window proclaiming stands on controversial issues, plus four bumper stickers that provided ultimatums from "LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT!" or "SAVE PRECIOUS AIR. STOP BREATHING." "What kind of car is that?" asked my son.

"It's a 1974 Opinion," I said. The bumpers of American cars have not only become billboards for every social ill you can think of, some of them are getting downright ugly. It all started off as a happy showcase for a sticker that said simply, "SMILE" or "HAVE A GOOD DAY." You could tear the fender off a car with a "SMILE" or "HAVE A GOOD DAY" and really feel rotten about the accident. But a strange hostility swept over me the other day in the church parking lot. I actually raced a car to a parking space HAVERTY'S, 2030 Thomasville Road! to see you people face to face." My friend was so angry she' rushed out and bought a bumper sticker, "DON'T BLAME ME.

Wearing your emotions on the rear end of your car can create some problems. A friend of mine found herself recently behind a car that had sat through two traffic lights. Finally, on the third green, she honked her horn. The driver came back and said, "So you think he's guilty, do you?" "Who's guilty?" she asked.

He pointed toward his bumper sticker. "Your president. I purposely put 'HONK IF YOU THINK HE'S GUILTY' on my bumper just 4 -Calendar handicrafts. New residents welcome. Call 877 5459 for reservations.
