Howard Mercer, a former Los Angeles disk jockey turned inventor, and Joe Su- garman, a Chicago advertis- ing executive, have dreamed up the "Watergate Scandal Game." Any citizen with $3 in unmarked bills may buy it to play at home with friends or loved ones. The object of the game— actually, it's no more than a deck of cards marked with such designations as Phone Tapper, Presidential Advisor, Big Contributor; Attorney General or Attorney General's Wife—is to lie, cheat, cover up and, if possible, even bribe the dealer. When a player is proven a liar, he must take a penalty card and a certain number of points is subtracted from his score. The game's inventors have been especially tongue-in- cheek about penalties. A Big Contributor is fined nothing; being asked to resign costs 10 points, while being fired is 25. Penalties go up from 50 points for exposure by the press, to 200 for a prison sentence. Cards are kept face dawn on the table and players may lie their heads off. The point is not to he caught red- handed by the Accuser, or player to the right of the dealer. He may also lie, but not be exposed. The game should be in stores in about two weeks. • Souleiado is a Provencal word that many Frenchmen have never heard, but even people who can't pronounce it are familiar with the charming prints that carry the Souleiado trademark. They are those 'hand-blocked cottons in floral and paisley patterns that make you think of French country inns. And the French countryside is a good place to observe a souleiado (soo-lay-ah-doe), for it's a sunshower. The fabrics, as well as products made from them, are the main attractions at a, Greenwich Village shop called La Provence de Pierre Deux. It is an outgrowth of an antiques shop called Pierre Deux, where Soulei- ado pillows and quilts have been sold for three years. The two Pierres—Le Vec and Moulin — found the prints in Avignon and thought they would be natural accessories for their shop's French country an- tiques. "It was so fascinating to see things hand done," Mr. Le Bec said the other day, "and to realize it was a quality that might not last much longer." And so, last summer the second shop , opened its doors. Bolts of fabric are stacked on one side, fre- quently spilling over the counter and the floor when customers ask to see "every- thing." Women's and chil- dren's clothes cram the racks and such objects as place mats, hats and pillows are everywhere you look. The story of the fabric. with its floral paterns and animal prints, goes track to the 18th century, but it wasn't until the 20th cen- tury that production 'expand- ed into bags, napkins, table- cloths, sewing kits and, after World War H, clothes. Long skirts, some plain cotton and others, quilted, range from $75 to $95. A short skirt with a hip yoke and front pleat is $47.50. Short dresses are $65 and $75. Teeny bikinis $25. Fabric costs $9 to $13.50 a yard; borders are $2.50 to $3.50. Le Provence de Pierre Deux is at 378 Bleecker Street (between Charles and Perry Streets). It is open Monday through Friday from noon to 10 P.M., Saturday from 10 A.M. to 6 P.M. Dur- ing July and August the shop will be closed Saturdays. • Speaking of fabrics, Gucci has used three new patterns in its spring-summer collec- tions. Appropriately, all three are inspired by the sea. One is a small dolphin nuzzling the Gucci G; anoth- er is a wave pattern flow- ing 'through a chain of G's weighted by an anchor, and the third is an underwater scene of coral and fern. The prints appear on scarves, shirts and dresses. Gucci has also added small clutch bags in suede and calf as well as a new suede shoe. The pump, dressier than the' famous Gucci loafer, is trimmed with a fine gold chain and stands on a slight- ly higher, slimmer heel.
