Fash Bring Art Falh ions Children aching ns In New Knits Desia To 1 2f I plays good chess will be good "in math. Schiller recalls that from the time he was 4 or 5 he played chess with his father or guests in a casual way.

In the middle of junior high he joined 'a group xi of 9th graders who played it a little more seriously. "We entered a tournament and had a crushing defeat," he admits, "and then I started to pick up chess seriously and bought the first, of many chess books. I probably buy more chess books than any other, junior (under 21 player) in the country." PRETTY PROTECTION Cloche hats, pinned with bold-colored flowrs, are a fashion favorite for summer. But besides showing off a pretty head, the hat will protect your hair from the sun. Five-year-olds are perfectly capable of learning to play chess and, in fact, that is the best age to start them out, says teen-age chess expert Eric Schiller, who serves volunteer teachef to kindergarten youngsters.

'The earlier they learn to play- chess the- more beneficial the ability will be," he says. "Chess playing helps develop more logical reasoning processes and helps them to think more clearly and evaluate decisions better." The 17-year-old senior at Schreiber High School here teaches the fundamentals of the game to kindergarteners at the Flower Hill Elementary School. He is a volunteer for -HELP. (Help Educate Little People), a program that places high school students in an assistant teacher capacity in elementary schools. 1 f) Fashion has long been considered an art, but this season, I one designer, Bob Gold worm, has brought art to fashion, as well: The Fall-Winter collection, unveiled in New York City before Fashion Editors attending the New York Couture Group Press Week, included pants suits, dresses, and gowns whose knit prints are in reality interpretations of paintings of Klee, Matisse.

Miro, and Seurat; Mexican bark paintings; and antique Egyptian art, the latter passed down through the ages via scrolls, and found on walls of temples and pyramid tombs. Bob's interest in duplicating famous art in his knits began two years ago when he first brought American women knit fashions' of Persian carpets prints and a year abo when he used antique Oriental prints. The "art'Vis printed on the fabric in some styles, and knitted-in for other styles. In both cases, the results are a tribute to the genious of this former Coty Award winner. i The new collection includes dresses, pants suits, suits, and gowns in the traditional flat knit or ribbed sweater dresses and gowns, but this season don't miss seeing the wonderful cardigan "sweater sets, sometimes ribbed, sometimes embroidered teamed up with skirts or slacks.

The hip-long cardigan is the big news-maker.

VAYt mm WWW Lessons Learned From Talkative Friends "I asked for the younger children because I feel they're easier to work with and there's more you can teach someone young, says Schiller.

"I've always had the idea of introducing chess to kids and felt the best place was on the kindergarten level. "I learned at that age and Bobby Fischer did and so did most of the other players I have come in contact with," he continues. "In the United States it may seem early but in the Soviet Union it's normal." Schiller, who gets a half unit credit per term for working five days a week with -his: young students, starts out by introducing the pieces one at a time and letting the kids become thoroughly familiar with how each moves. One 6-year bid has already played in an under-13-year-old toUrna- ment. "I give thenv general principles that get them going," he explains.

"They use basically the same opening all the time, but they 'are beginning to get some attacking schemes down and occasionally get into some defensive things." The youth lists intelligence and a "very competitive instinct" as major prerequisites for the -game. Though an aptitude for math often is not apparent at that age, he adds that the child who DEAR ABBY: The names are fictitious but I am telling it like it is: My name is Debbie.

John calls Linda and asks her for a date.

Linda accepts. She then tells Carol (who is also a friend of mine) about her date with John. Carol, tells me. Naturally I am humiliated and angry. I contend that when John called Linda, she could have refused him immediately saying she and I were good friends, and then hung up the phone.

Furthermore, Linda shouldn't have told Carol or anyone else about her date with John because friends are right. But there are several lessons to be learned here: (1) Never "mention" to a boy friend thai another girl is "fantastically well put together."
