Show a The good life starts with free things By Mickey Porter Knight Newspapers The stress, in this lifetime, is on material possessions. We all have somehow gotten the notion that there is little enjoyment, or indeed none at all, to be had from things that do not cost a great deal of money. We pine for the biggest and car, for the most ex- pensive house in the neighborhood, for the latest in appliances and other gadgetry. That, we have come to lieve, is The Good Life. be- And yet, it seems to me, there are a few free things left that give us immense sat- isfaction, and it is my mission on this September day to rush them into print before they are overlooked altogether. Smile as Reward . How about the satisfaction we get, for example, when a tiny baby, whom we have practicallyinto getchie- - getchie-gooe- exhaustion, d favors us with a smile after he has dourly refused to smile at anybody else. Or say that a dog immediately takes to you, licking you wetly across the face and leaving the muddy imprints of his paws on your brisket. And his owner exclaims, Well now, THAT'S certainly odd; he usually wont have a thing to do with strangers. You immediately feel that you are, in some vague way, just a little bit superior to the normal bub. Then, too, there is the pleasure to be derived from being able, at last, to blow your nose after a bad cold has left it tamped as tightly as a post m a hole. Equal Pleasure the equal pleasure, after wearing the tip of your tongue away, of dislodging a And piece 01 fncd chicken between your teeth. from And the pleasure of frying an egg that does noi stick to the skillet like a tire patch. I have often commented, during moments of philosophical musings, that I would rather be able to fry the perfect egg than to be president. But the eggs I ordinarily fry resemble the victims of highspeed collisions. There is free satisfaction in looking forward to a trip in the muted rumble of distant thunder, in the feel of warm sand on your b?-- e feet. Fresh sheets And in the feel, too, of freshly laundered sheets on the bed when you stretch out your legs at night and the coolness of an unexpected breeze on a humid summer night. Pleasure is in waking up and realizing suddenly that it Saturday and you don't is have to go to work and that, if you want to, you can go to sleep again. So you go to to sleep again. And the splendid music of bacon frying, and the of the coffee pot. p Pleasure is wearing a brand new pair of underwear for the first time, or having someone show amazement at the size of your home library, or waking up in the night and hearing the gentle voice of the rain on the roof. Friendly Greeting Pleasure is having a friend greet you warmly when you return from vacation, saying, Man, it seems like you've been gone for a year. Pleasure is having your wife come up behind you ad lay her head on your shoulder. Pleasure is drawing up a household budget at the beginning of the year, with the fig ures neatly inked in and a certain amount each week labeled "Savings. It never turns out that way, of course, because the septic tank starts to back up or the car develops an expensive wheeze, but its enjoyable to bel.eve, even for a little while, that it will turn out that way. Pleasure is having someone compliment you on your new shirt, oi on the shine of your shoes. (It is ordinarily the shine of my pants that people comment on, but it does happen the other way occasionally ) And finally be- simply cause I arbitrarily must conclude this list somewhere there is the pleasure of just being alive and well, with the September sun shining warmly through the window and no more than a wisp of a cloud in all the sky. And it doesnt cost a thing.

The shapely full slip, which recent years has been abandoned by many women in favor of a half slip or none at all, has suddenly become trendy. The slipdress being touted for fall is not something calculated to be concealed under wTaps. Its meant to be flaunted and it comes in fabrics from mat jersey to crepe and chiffon paved with sequins and beads.

Hundreds of women rummaging through attic trunks to resurrect their old underslips and get them washed and perhaps ironed (in the days before drip-drfabrics, they had to be ironed) in time to wear out to dinner. y Their husbands, however, might not be thrilled with the idea.
