e TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday. January 31, 1S56 Society and Clubs 'Shape Within Shape7 Marks Balmain's Dress Collection By BARBARA MILLER United Press Fashion Wriler Paris U.R) Feminine curves enhanced by Pierre Balmain's "shape within a shape" led the sack look by two to one today at the start of the second day of the 1959 spring dress collec tions. But Ealmain, never one to trust Mother Nature? left noth ing to chance. With his creations were intricately constructed un derpinnings that give the wear er and the dress an almost in human perfection of line. Thus far Patou has come out with a "sack look" as well as high breasteD princess styles. Heim settled for a feminine sil houette whose high bosomed line was accentuated by swept back fullness. Patou's sack clothes, other wise known as the "middy style," were unfitted and blous 0 ed but were firmly tied around the waist. Wide, round necklines were the notable feature of all his creations. Not a necklace, collar or scarf was in sight to soften the severe lines. Both designers showed en sembles composed of little jack ets atop sheaths and princess style gowns. Short basque jackets and high waisted effects are the news thus far this season. Heim cut his to bolero length while Patou left his at hip-tipping levels. Buttons and martingales em phasized a high waist which was, in reality, fitted right in place. Coats barreled out, but mar tingales and buttoned plaques pulled them into shape. The stif fened, flared princess line coat appeared for late day wear. In the dress field, Patou fa vored front Interest while Heim focused on the back.

Baby Quilt fczn A m g 7264 I Paneled pleats dropped off the hips of Patou's princess line ' gowns or ran irom rieuitime iu hemline on his coat-sheaths. Heim's pleats dropped grace fully from the back just above the waist. Martingales marked the line. Occasionally he dropped a false back right from the neckline. Sculptured sheaths flared back in gathered fullness both above and below the waist. Both designers used buttons and bows to highlight suit jack ets and to emphasize their front and back paneled effects. Bows took the place of but tons after dusk. Mexican Youth Attends School; Guest of McGills Raul Noris, Mexico City, is spending several months in Med ford and is attending Hedrick Junior High school. The youth, who is 12 years of age, is a guest in the home of Mr. and Mrs. George McGill, 116 Black Oak drive, and attends school in; the company of the McGill's son, Gary, 13.

Large Attendance Marks Dinners of Jefferson PTA A family night dinner given by Jefferson Parent-Teacher as sociation last Thursday in the school cafeteria attracted about 625 adults and children, which was about twice the anticipated number. The committee in charge of the event considers it both a so cial and financial success, de spite the fact that those in charge were wholly unprepared for such a large attendance. Because of the good spirits of those attending, and the many volunteer helpers, the evening progressed as scheduled, and ended with square dancing in the gymnasium.

Both he and the committee have expressed their thanks for the many suggestions which will en able them to manage the event more efficiently in the future.
