Minwax goes deep into the wood ... leaves no brittle surface to scratch or mar. You have a choice of Natural Minwax or a wide range of color tones. Maintain with liquid wax and you never have to refinish your floors. Today's trend is to paneling Easy-to-use Minwax brings out wood's natural beauty. Simply apply Minwax Wood Finish to the panel after sanding it thoroughly. Then add a light touch of Minwax Finishing Wax. The result is a rich, hand-rubbed look.

ESTEVEZ' coat and dress (below and bottom), a lovely ensemble-or they can be worn separately. The coat has a cape effect because of the deep side pleats and is designed with optional slits at the waist through which the dress's wide belt may be passed. The dress has a jacket effect in back and a princess line in front. Coat-M134, dress-M116. HULITAR, famous for his treatment of the sheath, creates one that has a slim, gracefully sashed skirt, and a top loosely bloused in back by a separate panel attached to the belt. M186. GOTHE's dress, with the new upswept waist (right) is guaranteed to give anyone a tiny, tiny middle. It's pretty by itself, and it makes a beautiful Easter outfit when coordinated with Gothe's 3/4-sleeve jacket tied at the neck with a string bow (above). M177.
