Monograms
Make Trouble
For Kellys
By ELIZABETH TOOMEY
United Press Correspondent
New York (U.P.) 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

ard Parent-Teachers association

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."

Proper Pressing
Necessary for
Weil-Made Look
Corvallis Put up the iron
ing board alongside the sewing
machine, if you're making a new
dress for Easter.
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..
