TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) designer Turns Dog' l's Life Into Mink-Lined Luxury By GAY PAULEY United Press Correspondent New York 'U.R! More peo-ple.-.should lead a dog's life Especially that of a city, slicker mutt. These pampered pooches go to finishing school to learn their sidewalk manners, have their own beauty shops for cutting, curbing and pawdicuring, gnaw only on bones from prime cuts of beef, and even have their own clothes jJesigners to keep them on dogm's best-dessed list. One .such designer is Dorothy Dorn, who spends her days with dogs and her evenings with musical drama. A native of Australia and now Q United States citizen, Miss Dorn became a designer because she needed money to help un derwrite her dramatic and voice studies. Opera Singer Through friends, she met the wife of one of the executives at Hammacher Schlemmer and heard ofLan opening in the dog apparel department. She has been there since. A coloratura, Miss Dorn also is a member of the Amato Opera coinpany in Greenwich Village. Well, the two jobs do have a connection," Miss Dorn laughted- "Some owners declare their dogs can sing.." Her newest fashions for fido . range from a felt walking coat J for daytime wear to a mink- trimmed velvet evening cwrap and rhinestone earrings for dress-up occasions. She said earrings are a- "first," although for years she and other designers have bejewellecfc dog collarsnd other apparel. The earrings are circlets which fit at the base of the mutt's ears and are held on by clips. If the owner or the dog doesn't like the earrings, they can be used like a bow as decoration for the dog's topknot. This treatment works best with French poodles who have top-knots. $7 to $75 Miss Dorn also has designed a black tuxedo, worn with notched white tie; a gold lame evening coat; a brocade coat with brimmed hat, decorated with beads and pearls; and a vivid red taffeta coat with jewel led embroidery on a full, stand away collar. The dog fashions cost any where from $7 for the earrings to $75 for the lame coat. Lots of red in Miss Dorn's ca nine costumes. "All dogs love red," she said. "They don't like navy blue or violet." Through her years of dealing with pooches and people, she has reached some interesting con clusions about both. She said a dog's personality usually reflecta that of his owner. "A neurotic woman invariably owns a neurotic dog," she said. "Some owners drive their dogs nuts." Sheas decided other owners lavish every luxury on their "pets for the same reason some men buy their wives mink coats. "It's to show the world how prosperous they are." Others pamper their dog be cause it is the 'only member of the household who take affection and gives it in return. "Which," she said, "is more than you can say of some hus bands. ... or wis."

Male Shoppers Pampered; Most Women Like to Look By ELIZABETH TOOMEY United Press Correspondent New York (U.PJ A pretty girl delicately steered the man to an overstuffed chair and a whitecoated gent bent down to inquires "Something to drink?" This was Christmas shopping, man style. A woman peered over the swinging doors that led to this glittering male sanctuary in the center of a Fifth Avenue wom en's store and pouted. "All that good ' will toward men." she muttered, "while I'm out here walking my feet off to do my Christmas shopping." She took a deep breath, turned her back on this scene of peace ful shopping and disappeared in an impatient crowd of women eying for the attentions of an irritated sales girl. , That was Christmas shopping, woman-style. Men can buy women Christ mas gifts in a half a dozen rest ful "For Men Only" shops in Fifth Avenue stores which offer hot coffee or icy martinis along with frank pampering of the male shopper. Shop Around Women stand and wait. They "shop around" from one part of a store to another while sales girls scurry to the same depart ments to fill the gift list of that happy creature, the man in the overstuffed chair. Doesn't seem fair. But we asked for it, the stores say. Women have been offered the same sit-down shopping service in men's departments of Fifth Avenue stores. But "For Women Only" shops have flopped. j, "Let's face it," one store sup ervisor said. "Women simply don't think the way men do when they go shopping. Women like to poke around for themselves. If they are forced to sit in a chair while you bring them a few different styles of something they suggested they can't help feeling suspicious. They feel if they had the chance to go out and look around they might find something they'd like better." Men More Trusting Men are more trusting. Be sides they like to sit there and watch certain gift items modelled by pretty girls. A lot of wives get negligees that way.. They are the most popular gifts, one "Men Only" salesgirl said. Men can' spend from $2.00 to $2000 without budging from the easy chair. Generally the gifts bought in these soothing sur roundings are expensive, since men become expansive with all that feminine attention. " One "Men Only" shop has a black lace and pink marquisette negligee and nightgown set for $50 and a purse with a built-in radio for $107. f w L f , f There also is a convenient $6 gift for the man who is stall pay ing for the mink stole he gave his wife last year. It is a stole hanger-padded pink velvet. Sweet Dreams! 9215 2-io Such a pretty way to send your little miss to sleep wear ing this newest shortie top, with matching bloomers beneath!
