Wage
hats by leading designers will go
on simultaneously at seven dif
ferent hotels shortly after noon,
and an eighth fashion show for
both dogs and people will begin
at tea time.
Easter Preview
One hat designer frantically
worked to finish 100 hats so he
could take part in three differ
ent shows. Another rushed a
special summer group of red vel
vet hats to completion in time
for Easter Sunday preview.
"We've already outfitted 18
dogs and it may end up being
25," said a spokesman for Ca
nine Couturiere which is han
dling the fashion end of things
for dogs at a tea time shof at
the Savoy Plaza hotel.
Several hat designers claim
they will be showing the biggest
hats in town at the Sunday
shows. Certainly the hats are
the biggest of the last decade.
"Mine will be as large as cof
fee tables," Walter Florell said.
Florell has made "about up"
hats to show at two different
Easter Sunday shows.
Biggest Ever
Mr. Fred of John Fredericks,
will - show approximately 100
hats in three different fashion
shows. He "halted his frantic
preparations long enough to give
a description.
"Big ... big ... big . .. big,"
the designer said. "They are the
biggest they have ever been."
Mr. Fred believes that big
hats are becoming on almost
any woman. They make a wom
an's face seem more delicate, he
says, "and minimize the body."
Micol Fontana, the Rome de
signer chosen by Margaret Tru
man to make her wedding dress,
will give her first Easter Sun
day fashion show here at the Ho
tel Plaza. The hats to go with
her dresses were designed by
American milliner Emme, who
says they are "the largest ones
in town."
As for the dogs, something
simple like a cashmere sweater
with a rhinestone collar is high
ly favored. One father-daughter
dog combination will wear
matching wool coats of ice blue.
Daughter, the dog designer said,
will also wear a flower beret.
Famous French
Inspired at Odd
By BARBARA MILLER
United Press Correspondent
Paris (U.R) That new French
fashion may have started as a
rough sketch on a restaurant
tablecloth. Or it may have been
born while the designer planted
a tree or took a trip on a train.
Top Parisian designers, it
turns out, never stop designing.
They "create" while they eat,
pursue a hobby, or just sit.
Several designers, such as
Christion Dior and Castillo of
Lanvin, make hundreds of
sketches before turning their de
signs over to a "modeliste" who
; interprets them in unbleached
I muslin.
I Others, like Chanel, cut brave
ly into a fabric itself, draping it
on a live mannequin. This meth
od often is expensive because a
misdirected snip can ruin the
desired look.
Peace and Quiet
Pierre Balmain both sketched
and draped as he prepared his
spring line. His gowns are
"built," due no doubt to his ear
ly training in architecture. Hav
ing indicated either in pencil or
muslin his ideas, Balmain turns
them over to his assistants who
are perhaps some of the most ac-
i complished dressmakers in the
i world.
I Asked if he sought a special
! atmosphere in which to design,
1 Balmain answered: .
"I create wherever I am. I am
; inspired by the landscape or by
I Paris streets. I create in the car,
! in my salon, on the train. I don't
think of the dress. I think of the
woman who will wear it." 1
1 The woman who wears a Bal
Imain number may have spent as
much as S3,000 for it.
Dior, whose collections influ
ence fashions from Cairo to Cal
ifornia, seeks peace and quiet
iwhen a new line is in the mak
i ing.
He may retire to his villa in
historic Fointainbleau, where he
I gets ideas while following his
1 present hobby of planting trees.
Sports, he calls "barbarous."
Non-Stop Castillo
In three weeks Dior may pro
j duce as many as 500 to 600
sketches. Back in Paris, these
! are scaled down and the nucleus
is turned over to Madame Mar
guerite, often called Dior's "alter
ego." It is her job to turn Dior's
ideas into the finished product.
Castillo never stops sketching.
Restaurant tablecloths and nap-
! kins are his favorite sketch pads.
j Restaurants often bill Castillo
j for linens he has carried away to
preserve an idea.

signer husband died a year and
a half ago. creates "cerebrally."

should be the last consideration
when buying new furniture, says
Gertrude Hoffman, home fur
nishings specialist at the Univer
sity of Wisconsin.
Decide what will fit in with
family activities, then make the
selection, she said.
The cost is not a sufficient
guide, she said. Textures of
fabrics, color of wood, and the
design are better clues to good
choices. Harmony between ad
joining rooms as well as within
each room also should be con
sidered. "But don't forget your budg

sive items should be those which
are used most often beds,
davenports, chests, dining table
and comfortable chairs."

Today Rogers has stepped out
of stereotype to shoulder a
shootin' iron and gallop over the
purple sage as a fighting person.
He hired himself for the part.
Rogers decided to make four
movies as an independent pro-
ducer. His director asked the
boss to take a role in the com

21 Men" starring Bob Steele and
Marie Windsor.
Part Offered
"The director came to me with
the part," explained Rogers. "I
hadn't intended to play the role.
I told them I didn't want to try
acting again. But they talked me
into it. So I got my feet wet.
"Now somebody wants me to
do a TV series about a fighting
parson, but it would be too much
work."
Rogers never has appeared in
a western before nor played a

Science Conference
Ashlind Clarence Diebel, as
sociate professor of science at
Southern Oregon college, has re
turned from Washington D.C.,
where he attended the fourth
annual convention of the Na
tional Science Teacher's associa
tion. Included in the trip ' was a
guided tour through the Naval
research laboratory where an
atomic reactor was in the ad
vanced stages of construction.
Two models of the reactor were
on display and figured in special
experiments for the group.
At the same laboratory was
the inspection of a transparent,
plastic model of the artificial
satellite which is to be launched
within the next few years.
While teaching at Eugene High

U.S. office of education in 1947
as one of America's outstanding
teachers. He had five students
who won Westinghouse talent
search awards. He has taken
scholastic work at Linfield,
Chico State, the University of
Oregon, and has been on the
teaching staff at Southern Ore
