Women Still Like Full Skirts
Savs Desianer Molly Parnis
By ELIZABETH TOOMEY
United Press Correspondent
New York U.R) Fashion
changes will never force women
to forego all their full skirts, de
signer Mollie Parnis predicted
today on the final day of the
week's showings of new slim-med-down
spring styles.
Everybody's been slicing
skirt sides to a minimum. Spring
suits and coats are not. only
straight they're tapered in
toward the hemline, hobble
skirt style.
Prefer Full Skirts
But Miss Parnis believes wo
men still prefer full skirts for
afternoon dresses and evening
clothes. The sheath is fine, the
designer says. She has those too,
including one slinky dress and
jacket called "the cloak and dag
ger costume." The dress is snug
and straight and the jacket has
long scarf tabs that crisscross
at the front so the wearer can
hug it close to the body.
Miss Parnis thinks -a costume
like this is fine for daytime ev
ents like lunching in town, but
she stands ' by skirts with im
pressed pleats or long-waisted,
full-skirted dresses for social
evenings. ' -
One of Miss Parnis' spring
dresses is a youthful checked
taffeta with an unpressed pleat
, ed skirt. Another has a long
torso that is snugly fitted at the
waist-line, but has familiar gath
ers over the hips.
Adele Simpson, another de
signer who believes in accenting
positive feminine charms, has
turned -out a well-rounded sil
houette for spring she calls
"fleur de lis."
The Simpson flower shape has
a curved, yet slim skirt and a
soft top that gets its flowery
shape from subtle darts and ga
thers. She uses it in dresses and
in suits with short, curved jack
ets. Mrs. Simpson uses a new cot
ton chiffon for a series of frank
ly fluffy printed dresses. One
of her cotton chiffon prints has
a white background with pumpkin-colored
print. The skirt is
held out over ruffled petticoats.
Gatizy silks also add softeness
to. dresses in Mrs. Simpson's
daytime collection. The skirts
are sometimes .flared and some
times pulled snugly over the
hips with the fullness in back.
Designer Predicts
'Years of Necklaces'
With Styles Changing
New York Necklaces will
be "in," in 1956, but the choker
variety will be less important, in
the opinion of a prominent
jewelry stylist here.
Marianne Ostier, innovator of
many trends and winner of
numerous design awards, pre
dicts this year will be the "year
of necklaces." As in other types
of jewelry, necklaces will be de
signed from the fashion stand
point of , daytime or evening
wear.
Gold necklaces accented with
multicolored stones are for the
day, while designs in the elegant
white precious metals with or
without diamonds, are decreed
after dark. Perhaps more than
any other piece of jewelry, a
necklace should be chosen with
the individual woman's face,
throat and complexion in mind,
Mrs. Ostier feels. Some necks are
too thin and long, others too
wide or too short. Similarly,
faces vary in these respects.
The right necklace can do
much to improve these short
comings. For example, a lacy de
sign edged with diamonds or
rubies, about three-quarters of
an inch -wide, enhances the
beauty of a decollete more than
fabrics or furs, she believes.
The color of necklace stones
is important for its effect on
complexion. Complete color
schemes in precious and semi
precious stones are available for
the light, dark or red-haired
woman which also take into ac
count eye color.

Proper Grounding
Said Nece:ary
For TV Antenna
Pullman When that TV an
tenna goes up on your roof, be
sure it's grounded!
That word of advice comes
from Paul Fanning, extension
agricultural engineer at Wash
ington State college.
The grounded antenna-, Mr.
Fanning says, is a precaution
against lightning damage. Sets
have been ruined and fires start
ed in houses when lightning has
been attracted to the metal mast
on the roof. This happens more
often out in the country than in
cities where the steel frame
work used in many buildings
acts as a lightning shield. But
wherever an antenna is a high
point, it may be a target for a
bolt.
Direct strikes of lightning on
antennas are extremely rare.
Much more common is damage
from lightning which strikes
nearby and then is drawn to the
mast. For this "spill-over" or
"surge" of electricity, as the en
gineer calls it, proper ground
ing is good insurance.
It's not difficult nor expensive
to install a ground, Mr. Fanning
says. That's especially true, he
adds, when compared to the cost
of damage which can result from
lightning. A copper wire no
smaller than No. . 6 should be
connected from the television
mast to the ground rods, located
as close as possible to the base
of the mast and driven in per
manently damp earth. A light
ning arrester carrying the UL
(Underwriters Laboratories) seal
of approval and designed for just
this purpose should be installed
in connection with the lead-in
wire 'and connected to the
ground wire.
Mr. Fanning says it pays to
have a qualified electric service
man do the grounding and also
put up ,Jhe antenna because he
knows the requirements of the
Code for Protection Against
Lightning. He also knows how
to fasten the mast against wind,
ice loads, and other hazards and
where to locate it to avoid dan
ger from falling on electric wires
or lines. Television is so much
more complicated than radio
that amateur work with it is' haz
ardous as well as unsatisfactory,
he says.
For a delicious relish, grind to
gether 4 cups of raw cranberries,
2 oranges and 1 lemon. Add 2
cups of sugar, mix well and
chill. Serve in the orange shells
from which the fruit was removed.

Good Breakfast
Gives Third of
Day's Nutrition
A good way to start the new
year right is to take stock of
the family's breakfast. Is it
hasty, catch-as-catch-can, or none
at all? Believe it or not, every
breakfast should be an appetiz
ing eye-opener, and should sup
ply about 13 of the day's nutri
tion needs. And it can be, with
a little planning" and fore
thought. One of the best ways to give
a "boost" to breakfast, is to
include a glass of milk for. ev
eryone. That means mother-and
dad, too, as well as the young
sters. Of all the common foods
we use, milk is our richest
source of calcium. It also con
tains valuable protein, other
minerals and many vitamins.
Children need four glasses a
day; adults two to three, and
to meet that requirement each
day, milk should be a ; "must"
at breakfast. Remember that
cereals can be cooked . in milk
as well as served with it, and
cocoa served as a beverage, for
those who do not like to drink
milk. ' . . . . .
You can have good breakfasts
day after day without ' greatly
varying the menu, but it's fun
once in a while to surprise your
family with something a little
special. 'Plan a surprise when
someone is going to have a long,
hard day, or when the weather
is particularly discouraging. Or
just to make the day seem
brighter. It will give you all a
lift. Here's a good one: Grape
fruit halves, creamed dried beef
on toasted English muffins, but
ter, preserves, milk and coffee.
Or serve orange-pineapple juice,
choice of cereals with, milk or
cream, cheese scrambled eggs,
whole-wheat toast, butter and
jam, milk and coffee.
Remember to take advantage
of the wonderful packaged mix
es on the market, to save time,
and add variety to your break
fast menu.-
For four servings of cheese
scrambled eggs use 2 tablespoons
butter, 6 eggs, one-half teaspoon
salt, one-eighth teaspoon pepper,
one-half cup rich milk, one-third
cup grated cheddar cheese, 2
teaspoons minced parsley and
a dash of Tabasco sauce. Melt
butter in top of double boiler.
Beat eggs; add salt, pepper, milk
and beat well. Add cheese and
parsley. Pour into double boiler
and cook over hot water until
thick and creamy, occasionally
scraping egg from bottom and
sides of pan as it sets.
SPICE CIDER
Chicago i(U.R) Try spicy hot
"calypso cider" after games. To
2 quarts of cider or apple juice
add Va cup of brown or maple
sugar, 2 tablespoons of angos
tura bitters, 3 slices of orange
and 3 slices of lemon. Heat cider
with sugar. Stir until sugar is
dissolved and add orange and
lemon slices. Simmer for 10
minutes, add bitters,, stir and
serve. Yield, 2 quarts.
