Gloria Swanson Says French CouturiersAmerican Minded About Ready-To Wear By GLORIA SWANSON Wrilten for United Prss Pa'ris (U.Ri All the famous French couturiers are not French. Balenciaga and Castillo are Spanish: Dcsses, Greek; Bal- On The Side By E. V. Durling (Distributed by Kirif Future Syndicjts, Inc.)' How well informed are you , in understanding men? Our as to the history of your home town? Say, for example, you are a Baltimorcan or a Brook lynite. Did you know that the Preakness was for a period run in Brooklyn? Are you aware that the Baltimore Orioles, pos sibly the greatest team in Major League Baseball history was, at the peak of its success trans ferred to Brooklyn? There the nickname "Orioles" was shelved and the team was referred to as the "Superbas." One famous member of the Orioles refused to go to Brooklyn. That was John McGraw. Asked for the reason. McGraw said simply. "I don't like Brooklyn." But these are trivial incidents in Baltimore-Brooklyn history. Did you know that in Prospect park. Brooklyn, there is a memorial erected in honor of the gallant Marylanders, mostly from Balti more, who fought with such dis tinction in the Battle of Long Island during the Revolutionary War? Ho-im and Women Can a woman's hip measure ment be reduced two inches in six weeks? It is repeatedly said that this is an impossible bit of feminine figure streamlining. But it has been done. It is a mat ter of record that Bill Robinson, famous masseur and physical culture expert of London, re duced the hip measurement of Lisa Damiely, French actress, by two inches in six weeks. Rob inson has many feminine cele brities among his clients. They include Ava Gardner, Linda Christian. Vivien Leigh and Bel ita, the skater. Bar Sh "There are too many pictures published of Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield, Sheree North and Diana Dors," writes a fem inine subscriber. "That is too many to suit women. Some thing every editor should know and realize is that women en joy viewing pictures of male physical marvels. As for . ex ample, pictures of Mickey Har gitay. holder of the title of Mr. Universe. And men endowed with similar physical perfec tion. Husbands have their pin up girls. Wives should have a chance to have some pin - up boys." Safety Too many people are afraid of air travel. A coast to coast plane I travelled on recently was half empty. On a transcon tinental trip you are as safe in a passenger plane as in any oth er method of transportation. The fact is the chances 'of 'a passenger being killed in an air line accident are about 100,000 to 1. On some airlines it is even safer than that. Pleas Not At one midtown Manhattan bar, a bourbon highball is pric ed at SI. 03. In addition the bar tender returns the change on a tray indicating a tip is expected. The retail price of a fifth of bourbon is $6.56. The average bar extracts 25 drinks from a fifth of bourbon. That would make the return on a fifth of bourbon at the bar discussed amount to $29.25. That is a pro fit of approximately $20 on each fifth of bourbon! How can it be justified? Pleas Not Anita Ekberg. the buxom cinema luminary, has six bro thers. How much does having six or more brothers help a girl Horses and Women experts are trying to check this situation. Incidentally, our experts check ed the situation in which a young man has six or more sisters. Indications are that such a situation does aid a man in understanding women but ' in clines to make him somewhat cynical as to the female sex. Young fellows with six sisters or more are very difficult to lure ' into matrimony. Only' a young woman with a very spec ial powerful husband hunting technique can persuade such a man to take the march to the altar. Passing By " John "Shipwreck" Kelly. Erstwhile Ail-American football star. After his athletic career at the University of Kentucky, Mr. Kelly achieved additional fame by his marriage to Brenda Fraz ier, the original "Glamour girl." Incidentally, the "Shipwreck" Kelly, was a flag pole sitter who hit the spotlight after being perched for a lengthy period on the top of a pole at Atlantic City. N.J. r 4 J , ?

The couturiers who no longer have dress houses in Paris are Mainbocher, American; Worth and Captain Molyneaux, Eng lish, and Elsa Schiaparelli, Itali an, who is very active in her new corporation "Signature Schiaparelli," which deals in new ideas. The present couturiers are getting very American minded about "ready to wear" if what I saw at Dior's boutique is any in dication. Naturally, I expected to see only Americans, but was most surprised finding French women as well trying on and examining dresses, suits and coats hanging on racks in differ ent sizes. What an innovation! Too Aciir Life is now too active and full for most women, no matter what nationality, to take weeks of precious time for fittings. In Rome I had no alternative, therefore was a wreck having to spend two or three hours daily for 10 days at Capucci. But I needed something new to wear at the Monaco wedding. In America I always have ready to wear clothes, unless I'm in New York where I have a real sewing room in my apart ment. This eliminates the neces sity of going from one shop to another. For with the help of a cutter and seamstress I can create my own wardrobe. And what's more, I have a "stand in" (dress form) for the fittings. More than one fitting on my real form and I'm fit to be tied. Most makers of French clothes must be engineers because the designers certainly don't worry about how the lady is going to get into their complicated cre ations. They leave this detail and problem for the technicians in the workroom. 1The interior of a French dress is full of tricks and contraptions to sepa rate this and hold up, or in, that. Fascinating Gown One time in Dallas, at Neiman Marcus. I purchased a fascinat ing strapless evening gown, a French model of Balenciaga's. I had to get into it from the top, feet first, because the skirt was part of two voluminous bloomer legs which had snug elastic around and above each 'knee. Had I stood on my head, or even walked on my hands, I would have been more decently enclosed than when standing up right. It was a stunning gown but the designer and engineer had forgotten the laws of nature. Salem (U.R) Gov. Elmo Smith has appointed Morris Wil son, Gilliam county wheat grow er and cattleman, to the Ore gon Wheat commission. Here's where , necessity, the mother of invention, came in handy and I became a genius or a magician. Two" cannon balls " from fh siege of Yorktown, Va., are still imbedded in the walls of the Nelson House there. The owner himself, American General Thomas Nelson, ordered the shots fired, knowing that Lord Cornwallis was using the house as headquarters.
