TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Society and Clubs First Lady and G Same Dress; Des New York (U.R) The dress maker who did it said today she'd "just like to drop dead" over the coincidence which put Mrs. Mamie Eisenhower face to face with her own dress at a party. "I'm simply miserable," wailed Mollie Parnis. "I'm going right home and crawl under the rug." The coincidence, which Mrs. Eisenhower noted gaily while the embarrassed Washington re . ception guest tried to disappear into the wall in her matching green print dress, was a one in a million chance, Miss Parnis said. And it will never, never, never happen again, she swore shakily on a stack of paper pat terns. "It's taught me a lesson. I didn't think it could happen, but it did. And it shouldn't. I don't think Mrs. Eisenhower or any other first lady should ever find someone else wearing her dress." Miss Parnis said the first lady didn't have to worry about meeting the rest of her ward robe, however. The designer us ually selects a special fabric for Mrs. Eisenhower's dresses. But this imported print, she said, "was so pretty and so right for her, I just didn't want to change it. And I didn't have enough of it to make many dresses." Miss Parnis said she guessed she had made up 90 copies which had been distributed to perhaps a dozen stores around the country. Hornbrook Hornbrook, Calif.

Paid Adv. uestWear igner Wails Washington (U.R) Mrs. Dur- rie Crane had planned to go home after a fashion show-lunch and change her dress before going to a reception in honor of Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower. But she didn't. And before she knew what was happening, she was shaking hands with a wom an in the very same dress, Mrs. Eisenhower. Mrs. Crane clutched her fur cape around her and tried to slip by with a handshake and a smile, But the first lady was too quick for her. "Oh, you're wearing the same dress. I just love it, don't you?" said the first lady. "I just hope I look one-third as nice in mine as you do in yours." said a blushing Mrs. Crane. Mrs. Eisenhower wore the dis tinctive Molly Parnis green print silk taffeta with its bow tied at the neck. Mrs. Crane, wife of a Washington businessman, wore the neck open. "It's not really the same . . . " began Mrs. Crane. "Oh, yes it is," Mrs. Eisen hower said opening up Mrs. Crane's tightly clenched jacket. "You just took off the bow. What a good idea." Mrs. Cranetold reporters at the tea yesterday she was "so embarrassed I could die." She kept her jacket on for the rest of the party and stayed as far away from Mrs. Eisenhower as she could. The petite blonde, a friend of Mrs. Eisenhower's sister, Mrs. J. Gordon Moore, said she would have "ducked" out of the re ceiving line if she had noticed the first lady's drs in time. But she didn't.
