Because the ’ Japanese denuded the islands of all materials during their occupation, the women of Manila are exercising ingenuity in procuring dress lengths. A British woman who was interned by the Japanese and who has married an American officer, struck a new fashion note when she was married in a gown made from material from a Japanese parachute. Her handbag was made from material from a Japanese flare chute. The bridal couple jointly cut the wedding cake with a Japanese officer’s samurai sword.
