The Kellys got mixed up on the proper mon ogram for a princess, and as a result some handsome trousseau linens monogrammed "GRK" will never grace the palace table in Monaco. The protocol problem came to light when Grace Kelly got her first look at the strictly personal trousseau ordered by her moth er, Mrs. John B. Kelly. "It is what you would call a mother's trousseau to a daugh ter," explained Estelle Parker, designer of linens and lingerie who arrived here from Palm Beach, Fla., over the week end with collection Mrs. Kelly had ordered earlier. Crown Embroidered Sheets and pillow cases, lace and linen table mats and nap kins, breakfast tray place mats and bath towels all had the embroidered initial R in the center, with a graceful G and K on either side. Some had a five-pointed crown above. That's the wrong monogram. It is correct for the average bride, but not for the girl who is to marry Prince Rainier III on April 19 and become her serene highness, Princess Grace of Monaco. Grace, who has almost hourly fittings and meetings scheduled to finish her trousseau before she sails April 4 for Monaco, knew the right monogram, but in the confusion while she re mained in Hollywood she forgot to tell her mother. - Her official monogram is two G's, the first reversed, with a crown above. The Prince's mon ogram is two R's. Their joint monogram is G and R. If any body wants to monogram an item with the bride's personal initials, it must be GPK for Grace Patricia Kelly. She does not use the name Rainier or Grimaldi in her monogram, for a reason not clearly explained. Linens Saved Miss Parker and Mrs. Kelly took the news with surprising calm. Grace plans to keep her Fifth Avenue apartment for her family and for her and the Prince when they return here to visit. "Mrs. Kelly said we'd just have to use the incorrectly mon ogrammed linens in the apart ment," Miss Parker said. Miss Parker designed several negligees, including one white silk brocade floor-length negli gee which she calls "the bridal negligee." "Miss Kelly prefers things that are quite tailored," she said. "The white brocade negligee but tons all the way down the front and has many gores in a full princess line. There is another robe in white lightweight wool printed with pink and blue flow ers, made pegnoir style. Youth Groups Topic For PTA Boy Scouts presented the colors to open a meeting of How ard Parent-Teachers association Thursday. A business meeting was conducted by Mrs. Thomas Eaton, president. .

Termi, of Court Call Lewis' Pearson at Swartz Maple Shop 1213 N.: Overside " Phone 2-5972 Designer Expli ains About Hats By ELIZABETH TOOMEY United Press Correspondent New York (U.P.) A hat, un like a rose, can be half a dozen different things. It's a good laugh to a bachelor and a big price tag to a husband. It is-a frivolous mood to a middle-aged woman and a symbol of sophistication to a teenage daughter. It can be a wilted sign of a woman's despair or a brave display of blooming hope. Next Sunday millions of wom en will stroll along main streets showing off their moods for spring. Eyes will focus on fem inine heads with more concentra tion than on any other single day of the year. General forecast: Sunny dis positions and clear signs of fem inine optimism, with a slight chance of scattered chuckles throughout the day as men view some of the biggest of the brave new hats. To get an experts views on 1956 Easter bonnets, we called on Beatrice Martin, a remark ably energetic'hat designer with a growing reputation lor com mon sense in a field with whimsy. Miss Martin was in her office, a paint brush in one hand, a large brown straw, daisy-strewn hat in the other hand, and a glass ash tray half full of mud-colored brown paint on her desk. She daubed brown paint on yellow daisy centers and began talking "A hat is an emotion," she said. "I believe hat fashions should follow the middle of the road. But flattery, that is some thing else. There is no limit to the effort we should make to see that hats are flattering. A woman must be enthu siastic about a hat, or she shouldn't but it. She may fall in love with a foolish bit of trim ming and buy the whole hat But it should do something for her." Miss Martin likes the idea of the huge, mushroom-shaped hats appearing for spring largely be cause they have started people talking more about hats. She doesn't think large hats are very becoming on many women. "I can't wear them," she said dropping her paint brush" and plopping a large white straw hat on her head. "I'm too short."

Professional looking garments don't just happen, according to a new circular, "The Art of Pressing,", published 'at Oregon State college. It's proper smooth ing of the fabric during construc tion that makes clothes look "well-made." Pressing with the proper ' equipment is not only "well worth the effort" but as the seamstress becomes more skilled, she may substitute pressing for much of the basting or prelimi nary sewing, the circular points out. Pressing or ironing, often thought to mean the same thing, serve different purposes. Iron ing is used on garments after they've been washed. Wrinkles are removed with a sliding move ment of the iron. In pressing, the fabric is flattened with an up-and-down motion of the iron. Equipment needed for press ing during clothing construction is much the same as that used in week-day ironing. All thafs needed for easy and effective p essing is an iron, ironing board, press cloth, sleeve board and whisk broom, says Murle Scales, OSC clothing specialist and author of the circular. Spe cial "hams." "claDDers" and pressing rolls," easily made with illustrated directions con tained in the circular, are tools that aid in pressing hard-to-reach spots. New spring fabrics made1 from combinations of synthetic and natural fibers and treated with various finishes require some care in iron settings, the cloth ing specialists remind. Tempera tures that are too high may melt some fabrics, cause some to shine, and are apt to harden others. Directions for making a press ing roll from a sliced-off rolling pin are included in the circular, which may be obtained frdm the OSC bulletin clerk or from coun ty extension agents. A pressing roll is used to steam seams so marks do not appear on the right side of the garment. An average ham is handled by 344 men from the farmer's pen to the counter of a retail store outlet.. iNVSGU feetweer wi'h The American Notional ted Crow -
