'Masquerade' a fashion parade By DAVID NELSON

grace, in which he requested "A double blessing on Patty Edwards and her hard-workmg commit- tee, and a special blessing on our Chargers as they take the field tonight," which provoked an expec- tably enthusiastic reaction. The luncheon's first course provoked the com- ment, "It's good enough to be the entree," from one taste-tingled guest; this was an exotic sorbet of lemon flavored with apple brandy and laced with bits of fresh apple. This unusual treat, which floated on a pool of champagne, had been one of the courses served in a dinner held by La Chaine des Rotisseurs at the Hilton the previous Wednes- High Society day. The meal continued with roast beef in hunter's sauce and a fruit struedel doused with a zesty custard sauce. The fashion show, presented again this year by Robinson's, commenced with an eerie display of Japanese kabuki dancing in which the participants twirled with red streamers while strobe lights dissected them into a thousand parts; this was followed immediately by models sporting the new "Japanstyle" fashions designed by such makers as Issey Miyake and Willi Wear. Highlights in the show included smashing hand- tooled suedes by Valentino and a series of '20s fashions for today from Jessica McClintock. Also represented in the various revues and dance routines that made up the Robinson's show were such designers as Gloria Sachs, Krizia, Giannia Versace, Anne Klein and Perry Ellis. Just before the grand finale, a company of trumpeters in U.S. Marine Corps dress blues announced the entrance

You never know what to expect when you at- tend a party on Halloween. There could be ghosts and goblins in costumes sufficiently ghastly to make the hair on the back of one's neck prickle in a most unpleasant fashion. There could be park- ing valets bothered nearly to distraction by the question of what to do with all those broomsticks. And, worst of all, there could be pumpkin pie prepared by a sorcerer's apprentice of a cook who prefers playing tricks to giving treats. But none of that happened at Monday's "Mas- querade," the annual fundraising luncheon and fashion show given at the San Diego Hilton by the University of San Diego Auxiliary for the benefit of the student scholarship program. High fashion was the day's keynote, and only a few daring souls ventured out in holiday-spirited garb. (One was Rosemary Taylor, who topped her demure daytime outfit with a delightfully rakish witch's hat.) Chairman (for the second year in a row) Patty Edwards, co-chair Jane Sexton and a lengthy list of committee members that included Marilyn Regalado, Carol Alessio, Mary Jo White, Pat Keating, Betty Barrett and Sister Virginia McMonagle, spent a great deal of toil and trouble brewing up this special event. In return for their labors they were rewarded by more requests for tickets than they could possibly honor. Over 700 guests attended, and more than 100 requests for additional tickets had to be turned away. The witching hour struck early, with cocktails at 11 on the Hilton terrace, under a bright, Halloween-defying sun. The i;i;roup later moved in to the pumpkin-toned ballroom, which had been made seasonally festive by centerpieces of autumn-colored silk flowers decorated with gold- toned masks. Msgr. I. Brent Eagen offered the pre-luncheon

By Kim M. Minke University of San Diego Auxi- liary and Robinson's presented their 27th annual fashion show a~d luncheon at the San Diego Hilton Beach and Tennis Resort. Masquerade was the theme and all proceeds benefit USD student financial aid program. The fashion presentation was unique and exhilirating. It was a dramatic, theatrical show, typi- cal of Robinson's. Oriental dancers, 1920's charlestoners, and a tribute to the 1984 Olympics, all helped create a very different show. Designs and designers for 1984 were featured-Claude Montana, Perry Ellis, Jessica McClintock, Anne Klein Krizia, etc. ... Layers of rich color and textures were seen from all the designers, proving that mixing and layering is the way to dress for this year. Layer- ing will be popular in San Diego, the only difference is that we will be wearing light weight layers instead of the heavy ones they wear and need in the colder climates. The Masquerade, University of San Diego's only fund raiser, was sold out for over one month and over 800 people attended . If you missed this exciting event this year, there is always next year!

Opera for adults, another for kids By William E. Fark Special to The Tirnes Advocate 0 pera comes In two sizes this week: one for adults and another for children. Grown-ups may enjoy sunny, rural romance while youngsters can thrill and chill to a retelling of an old fairy tale. The University of San Diego opera workshop pre- sents Gaetano Donizetti's comic opera, "The Elixir of Love," sung In English. Although the composer Is known best for the tragic "Lucia di Lammermoor," his "Don Pasaquale" and this work show a different side to his nature. They are fun. "The Elixir of Love," first performed In 1832, takes place on a farm owned by a young, beautiful, unmar- ried woman - Adina. The peasants' primary labors seem to be singing and cavorting, and in the case of Nemortno, pining for the love of his mistress. They eventually get together, through the efforts of an inept medical qua
