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.
