Caddo Council P.TA Slates Founders' Day Luncheon Feb. 26 The Caddo Council of Parent Teacher Associations will have its annual Founders' Day Luncheon on Thursday, Feb. 26, at 12 o'clock noon in the Lake Room of the Captain Shreve Hotel. Chairman of the Founders' Galanos 'Collection Long On Grecian Goddess Look By BERNADINE MORRIS (C) 1970 New York Times News Service NEW YORK Helen of Troy wasn't immediately discernible, but a whole mass of gods, goddesses, centaurs and temples They were cavorting or standing stationary and adorning the multitudinous evening dresses James Galanos designed for modern women to wear this spring and summer. The prints were credited to Tzaims Luksus.

IN OTHER circumstances, whether one wanted a centaur dancing on one's dress might provoke a certain amount of conversation, but by the time urn had bounded into view, the audience had other worries. The 45-year-old Californian, who is frequently referred to, at least by Americans, as the best designer in the world, had pulled a coup. He was the first designer of consequence to show no short skirts. Oh, in Paris, Channel had kept her hems long enough to cover the knees, and Givenchy had settled for something of the same. But, cried local boosters at the Feb.

9 showing, "Galanos had the longest longs of HIS HEMLINES plummeted to the middle of the calf and never gave an inch. His only diversionary tactic was an abundance of pants. They were probably the best things in the show. These days, pants are beyond controversy. But the question is, can you, in 1970, show a whole collection of calf-length clothes without evoking echoes of old movies, old closets? The gods know Galanos tried.

He slashed the skirts up the middle or up the sides to uncover a bit more leg. He made skirts wide, and he made them skinny. He added elbow length capes to some. HIS FORAY into ancient Greek culture can be excused. After all.

Galanos had Greek parents, "even though he was born in Philadelphia. The designer himself was above the fray of the showing. Instead of nervously biting his nails backstage at the Plaza Hotel where he usually spends the hour before his showing, he was up front in his pin-striped suit, greeting his guests and receiving the accoJades usually reserved for the time when the last mannequin has departed. "IT'S FINISHED and who cares?" he said. There were, among the 175 representatives of the 35 stores he sells and the fashion press, many who believe the downward march of hemlines cannot be stopped.

They were suitably enchanted. There were others who wondered. They appreciate the hallowed name of Galanos and glory his clothes (they start," as usual, at $495, but there are never many at that price) cast very, the less ethereal dresses in their store. "I didn't like it," said one store buyer. "I don't know what I will do." Look What's Happening Thursday Feb.

But brittleness is an ever-present possibility, for the reason that coloring process increases porosity by design to make way for lasting results. Obviously conditioning treatments should keep pace with tinting.

All the grooming products used shampoos, setting lotions and hairsprays should be formulated to provide gentle, corrective care without affecting color tones. All such prepartions are labeled accordingly. You have to be something of a label reader to care for tinted hair. AND, IN addition to coddling your locks, you must coddle your tint. Retouching is in order every three weeks and perhaps more often.

The procedure may call for bleaching or retinting the roots, or both. A tint-matched, semi-permanent rinse serves when the shade of the regrowth and tint are close. Between touchups, a temporary after-shampoo rinse freshens and blends color. Hard, brassy tones respond to a drab rinse with a pearly or bluish cast. As the weather warms in the spring, a head covering becomes mandatory outdoors.

Advice includes: corrective care of dry, abused, oily and hard-to-manage hair; expert coloring methods and treatment of tinted hair: hairstyle formulas: tips on perfection cutting, permanents, straightening and grooming.

(Kinel Photo) support its Bitty Canary Are Absolutely Dad's Not Words Once upon a time (today, to be exact) my daughter Babs wanted to take baton-twirling lessons.

Being a forthright creature and not one to mince words, she approached me and said, "I'd like to take baton lessons. May I go to the recreation center at 10 o'clock sharp next Saturday?" "Why do you want to take baton Lessons?" I asked. "Because," she answered, "I want to learn to twirl." If I were making up this story we could at this moment say, "That's the end of that," and then get on to such matters as February, being almost over heavens for THAT. However, this is a true story and my little girl has a father. She told him, "I am going to take baton lessons.

And he said, WHAT?" SHE REPEATED the statement. And he said, "Over my dead body!" And I suggested she learn to mince a few words when speaking to her father. daughter of mine!"

"Besides, I can hardly see how third-grade girls can be accused of indecent exposure "THE NEXT thing she'll be wanting to model for calendars!" "Remember your sister in cheerleader outfit?" I asked, "Those short little skirts?" "That's a sister." "I hate to bring this up, but, have you ever noticed I wear a bikini swimsuit?" "That's a wife!" "PROMISE your father you won't become a go-go dancer before your ninth birthday and By BETTY CANARY maybe he'll give you the $3.50 for the baton," I suggested.
