Dior's Advisor Praises Figures of American Women By ROBERT AHIER United Press Correspondent Paris (U.R) One of Europe's top feminine fashion authorities iayg her continental coun terparts should take a style les son from American women. "Women in the United Statse lead the world in the attention they give their figures," said Mme. Henri Bonnet, wife of the former French ambassador to the United States and newly named top advisor to designer Christian Dior. "No other group of women she said. "That's true too of the middle and working classes. In this connection, European wom en have a lot to learn from their American sisters." Mme. Bonnet, who peren nially is on the various lists of best dressed women, also had gome advice for American wom en as she set about her new job. Must Be Adapted Don't let the slim Paris models and some local extremities scare you away from French fash ions," she said. "In fashion, a model is a very valuable thing. but it can and, generally must be adapted to each individual woman." Very often, Mme. Bonnet ad ded, her American friends tell her a certain model is not for them because the skirt is too slim or the neckline too plung ing. "Any dress must be tried out first on a person who is standing, and then on the same person seated. Then one can determine if the skirt is really too narrow or the neckline too daring," she explained. Asked what advice she would give her new boss, Mme. Bonnet commented. "It is impossible to give advice to a man like Dior, who has his own ideas in everything. 10 Points "I will try to relay to him the American women's desire for dresses that are easily wearable . . . and place the figure in the best light possible." A 10-ppint chart for dress which she prepared some years ago still holds good, she said. It goes like this. 1. Don't shop for the sake of shopping; buy what you need. 2. Buy what's becoming to you. Don't buy a dress because it looks good on a friend. 3. Don't follow fashion dic tates blindly; extreme ideas date quickly. 4. Be discreet with jewelry. 5. Slim down to accepted pro portions if you're overweight. 6. Accentuate your good points. 7. Avoid flowered hats with furs; furs are rich enough alone 8. Adapt your clothes to your way of life; understate by day, be regal by night. 9. Take the best possible care of your clothes. 10. Pick accessories with the greatest care. MRS.

Gleeson, dean of en gineering at Oregon State col lege. Industry wants the feminine viewpoint, the dean says. In such fields as civil, mechanical and electrical engineering, com panies design many of their pro ducts to appeal to women. And engineering - trained women are always in demand, he adds, as technical librarians, editors of technical brochures and maga zines and as secretaries in en gineering firms. Backing up this need is a nationwide shortage of both men and women engineers. The Oregon State school of engineering is one of the accred ited engineering colleges in the United States that has admit ted women. But in the history of the school at OSC, only 93 women have enrolled. Less than a dozen of them have continued on to graduate. Other schools find the situation much the same. It is more difficult for a wom an than for a man in this field, the dean acknowledges. There are no special provisions made for women engineers at OSC and they are far outnumbered by men. This winter term, for example, the engineering school which has the highest enroll ment of any school on campus lists 1233 students, of which only four are women. Coeds work alongside men in labora tories, in the field and at the drawing board. What phase of engineering should a girl take in college? Gleeson says there are oppor tunities in every field. However, he believes the most openings for women today are in civil engineering, with emphasis on architecture; mechanical engin eering, particularly in heating and ventilating; and chemical engineering. The student at OSC has a choice of six branches of engin eering agricultural, chemical, civil, electrical, industrial and mechanical. A 'woman taking any of these fields should use her electives in secretarial study the dean recommends. Many women graduates have become outstanding in their fields, the dean notes. A govern ment report shows some 7,000 women engineers in the nation. Materials Necessary For Workshop Friday Phoenix Members attending the arrangements workshop of Phoenix Garden club at 10 a. m.

Paul thinks it's just wonderful the way I keep our house looking practically perfect and still have time to do so many other things. The plain truth is that I've found faster, easier ways to get my work done. Take wood floors. Cleaning and waxing them was something fierce. I can still remember how my muscles ached for days after. But not now. It's almost a . pleasure with Bruce Cleaning Wax. There's no floor washing at all! Bruce cleans and waxes at the same time. And my wood floors really look beautiful. Much nicer than when I did them the hard way. If you have wood floors, you'll really appreciate Bruce Cleaning Wax. Incidentally, Fe found other Bruce floor products help me, too.
