But now it is official now every thing will be so fitted a girl will need, a shoehorn to get dressed. Some of New York's top de signers Monday begin a week long, series of Spring shows staged for fashion reporters from across the nation. The designers say there's gen eral agreement on the slim look, on the natural figure made to look long and lean. But beyond that, it's designer's and wearer's choice. The, sheath runs' throughout collections from the couture group of the New York dress in stitute. Tunic dresses and long torso dresses drop the so-called "waistline" to the hipbone or thigh, and directoire or regency influences rake it to the arm- hole. . Some sheaths are covered by panels or overskirts. And there are full skirts cut to hug the fig ure. Here are some" other fashion trends, as seen in a "watch for roundup from the designers and manufacturers participating in this week's showings. Much will be going on behind a woman's back . . . the front of most costumes will remain sim ple, but there is much decora tion and drape at the back. Some jackets, even button down the back instead of the front. Watch for the return of the short jacket for suits; the cpntin uation of the three-quarter and seven-eighths length coat.' In fabrics, deception is the rule. Cottons are as sheer and lustrous as silk. Silks look like fine woolens. Small prints and stripes are everywhere; And most fabrics have a definite grain, if not an actual pattern. Watch for bold colors strong blues, bright greens, tawny browns and honey beiges. Lutheran Women Announce Officers Officers to serve St. Peter's Lutheran Women's" society for the coming year were recently elected. They are' Mrs. Edwin Guetzlaff, president; - Mrs. Al Huntemann, vice-president; Mrs. Richard Schafer, secretary and Mrs. John Kerr, treasurer. The group rwll meet Thurs day, January 12, at the church at 1 p.m. Devotions will be fol lowed by a business meeting and a program for the coming year will be discussed.. ..- Mothers' Club Plans Meeting on Wednesday West Side West Side Moth ers' club will hold the January meeting at the home of Mrs. Phillip Humphreys, Ross lane, Wednesday, January 11 at 8 p.m. according to an announcement by. the president, Mrs. Walter Graff. United Press Correspondent New York U.P.) The slim and prim look will be the thing for spring daylight hours, Amer ican designers forecast today as the 26th National Fashion Press Week entered its second day. After dark, the preferred look will be ladylike . but not prim and gently flared more often than slim. Pauline Trigere, one of seven designers who showed spring collections yesterday to more than 150 out-of-town fashion writers, turned back to the days of the old fashioned . ice cream parlor and designed spring suits with black and white striped jackets and solid black shirts. The Trigere version of a gay blade's Sunday best 50 years ago is done several ways. One suit has the skirt made of white wool serge pin-striped in black and the jacket made of black raw silk. The other suit has a black wool serge skirt and jack et with a vest-cat front of strip ed wool. The slim, neat lines of next spring's wool suits give them a one-piece look. Trigere has add ed to the illusion by "fusing" jackets to skirts.. She tucks a suit jacket into a flat hip band circling one skirt to give a dress appearance and in another tucks the jacket into big, square patch pockets on the skirt. . . Semi-fitted jackets and a hint of the high-bosomed empire line give Ben : Zuckerman's spring suits an almost little-girl look. Zuckerman believes that Far Eastern colors beige, yellow, pale green .and pink will re place the. familiar springtime suit colors of grey and navy. Fabrics for spring suits are often textured this year, but al ways light weight. Even fluffv looking beige tweeds, used both for coats and suits, are feather weight.

Versatile Wrap ; Disaster Funds Of Red Cross Near Depletion New York U.R) The chair man of the American Red Cross said today recent floods in the West and Northwest have all but drained the organization's disaster-aid funds. E. Roland Harriman said the Red Cross disaster-aid fund is down to only $1,250,000 on the eve of the average spring "dis aster season." ' Harriman said the Red Cross has spent $18,500,000 in assist ance to victims of two hurricane floods in the Northeast and other disasters since August, 'ivhich is usually a calm season.. The or ganization "now is spending S8. 000,000 to aid close to. 10,000 families who were victims of the Christmas floods in California and Oregon. ','-. ; -Emergency Meeting ' 'He called the executive com mitteee of the Board of Gover nors to an emergency . meeting in New York Thursday to study extraordinary disaster condi tions and decide how to meet the crisis. "Any major disaster this "spring will find the Red Cross without reserves to do its job," Harriman said. "With our com mitments in the Western states we will have only $1,250,000 in the disaster reserve available for disaster in the heaviest months which lie ahead." . Harriman indicated that there would be no special appeal for public subscriptions in advance of the regular March campaign for funds. Colombia Newspaper On Annual Vacation Bogota, Colombia (U.R) The entire staff of El Espectador, Co lombia's -leading opposition newspaper, .went on annual va cation today. . By declaring the vacation, the paper's publishers indicated they would not publish for at least another two weeks. Colombian labor laws provide for - yearly vacations of 15 working days. .

Nixon was displayed before ranking Repub licans : Monday night in an in formal reminder from his friends that he should be viewed as pres idential timber if President Ei senhower bows out. 1 - The occasion was Nixon's 43rd birthday. The sponsors of his party were the Chowder and Marching Club, composed of 16 young House Republicans. Nixon was a charter! member of the club when it was formed in 1949 and is now its most distin guished alumnus. Most Favor Ike Most of the group's members hope Mr. Eisenhower will seek reelection but favor Nixon if the President declines renomination because of 'his heart attack last fall. More than 200 Republicans members of the; House and Sen ate, of the the White House staff and of the cabinet and sub-cabinet- attended the party in the National Press Club. Mr. Eisenhower, sent a mes sage saying he wanted to "salute Dick on this happy occasion and wish for him all the best in the years to come." Nixon was garbed like present members of the Chowder and Marching Club in a white chef's cap and an apron. His response to the introductory speeches con tained no political overtones. He spoke instead of how he has en joyed his nine years in Washing ton. The Nixon party came in the face of : continuing reports that this or that segment of the GOP would like to "dump" him from second place on the 1956 ticket or freeze him out of first place if Mr. Eisenhower retires. Nixon's Opposition But Sen. Barry M. Goldwater (R-Ariz.) told the party that the only persons opposing Nixon are "the Alger Hisses and the Dem ocrats who are scared to death of him." Rep. Glenn R. Davis (R-Wis.), one of the organizers of the party, told a reporter that he be lieves and wants Mr. Eisenhower to run again but favors Nixon if the President refuses. . He said that without Eisen hower Nixon is "the hope of us who believe in a middle-of-the- road policy." BALL HOUND Prentiss, Miss. '(U.R) Buster Lee hopes his setter is . as suc cessful at huntmg as she is at baseball. Lee's sandlot team didn't lose a ball all summer. Lee said if any balls are fouled off into the hedge and high grass surrounding the local dia mond,"" carry Lou into the roughs' and cry 'dead ball'." The dog, he said, . "sniffled around until she found the ball." Grace Kelly In Hollywood Hollywood (U.R) Grace Kelly arrived today by train from the East and left unanswer- ed the question whether she and Prince Rainier II? of Monaco will be married in the United States or Monaco. ' . ' The smartly dressed actress, looking a little sleepy, spoke to reporters fpr only a few min utes before an MGM publicity man hustled her off in a studio limousine. There were plenty of reporters, photographers and TV camera men but only a handful of fans. "I still have flo plans as to where the wedding will be," she said- "It will be formal with a mass and after Easter. No. I haven't yet made plans for "a wedding gown." One-Week Courtship Miss Kelly admitted she actu ally had known the Monte Carlo monarch for only a week in New York before she decided she wanted to marry him. But she laughed when asked if she thought it was a rather brief time. A reporter pointed out that after she- does two films this year for MGM she can have a year's vacation. "Are you going to. have a baby m that time?" the reporter asked. "Well . . ." was the only answer.
