Lace Tablecloth On Tour of Nation ' An exact duplicate of a beau tiful lace tablecloth created es pecially for the White House is touring the country's depart ment stores. Measuring 7 x 281. feet, the cloth is nearly four times as long as the standard table cover and about a foot wider. It is believed to be the largest lace tablecloth ever made by machine, accord ing to Linens and Domestics trade magazine. It was designed to meet the specifications of the table in the state dining room of the White House to be used at state banquets, high teas, and other social functions in the ex ecutive mansion. The cotton yarn which went into its making would have been long enough to form a continu ous string 52 miles long! Lace experts estimate that a hand made cloth of the same size and quality would require the work of six highly-skilled lacemakers over a period of two years and would be valued at thousands of dollars. Although Italian in style, the White House cloth is completely American in production. It was designed by Quaker Lace in the same Philadelphia mill where it was manufactured, and the cot ton yarn used In the cloth was spun In this country. As a tasty accompaniment to a bowl of hot clear soup, cover salted crackers with grated American cheese. Sprinkle with curry powder and put under broiler just long enough for the cheese to bubble.

Little Girl Styles Borrow Dior Look The long torso look of Chris tian Dior's which has made news in women's fashions has come to children's cottons, too. Children's fashions tend to follow closely behind those of meir eiders, inat is tne case with Dior's "long, lean look," recently introduced for Ameri can women and already evident in their daughter's dresses. The trend is especially strong in girls' cottons, since cotton is the foremost fashion fiber in children's clothing, accounting for about 80 per cent of the en tire market. Confectionary colors, like ice cream pastels in blue and pink, are springtime favorites. Novel patterns, featuring fanciful houses, clowns, trees and flowers also are noteworthy. Little boys' styles follow their dads,' just as little girls' follow their mothers. Currently the youngsters' styles have emphasis on Continental cotton styling like that becoming evident in men's wear. Cotton knit pull overs with a manly accent for the small fry are one example ' of this trend.
