'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.

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.

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.
Kenneth Hulbert, principal of
the school, has expressed a de
sire to make the potluck family
night dinner an annual event.
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.
