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.

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.
