Democratic Committee HeacJ
Advises on Convention Wear
By PATRICIA WIGGINS
United Press Correspondent
Washington (U.R) Demo
cratic women heading for Chi
cago and their annual conven
tion should plan on a wardrobe
designed to suit "heat, feet and
TV."
This is exactly what Mrs. Ka
tie Louchheim, director of wom
en's activities for the Democratic
National committee, is doing.
Mrs. Louchheim has -chosen a
wardrobe for the convention,
starting August 13, based on her
experiences at the last two Dem
ocratic conventions and from her
many trips on party business.
Bearing in mind the well
known heat which usually hits
Chicago the same time as the
politicians arrive, Mrs. Louch
heim will take with her a ward
robe based on "simplicity plain
colors and plain lines."
She feels the wearer, the TV
audience, and the convention del
egates "get tired of a costume if
it's too dramatic or unusual."
Simple lines also, she feels, are
a woman's best weapon against
wilting heat
Bars Bare Look
A concession both to heat and
TV will be a collection of ver-:
satile, convertible white collars
in her suitcase: washable and
snap-on. Several pairs of easy-to-
wash white gloves also will be
included.
Despite the threat of the heat.
Mrs. Lochheim has ruled out
bare-looking day-time dresses for
the convention. As she does in
Washington's semi-tropical wea
ther, she will be wearing dresses
with some sleeve.
One wardrobe ite..i Mrs. Louch
heim has taken the most pains
about is footwear, and says the
"women delegates and alternates
should do the same.
In mid-convention in 1952 she
had to buy a pair of comfortable
straw sandals "because my feet
were killing me."
This time, she shopped in
three cities for low-heel black
straws "that will go with every
thing" and be easy on much-
walked feet as well. She's also
taking along two pairs of her
favorite soft, cushion-soled moc
casins "just in case I give out
altogether.
Only One Handbag
Except for the shoes, Mrs.
Louchheim has made few pur
chases of new clothes for the
convention trip. She is taking
two new light "TV blue" cottons
and a new dark dress.
Another new item convention
bound is a saucy white Sally Vic
tor straw hat. The only other hat
in Mrs. Louchheim's hat box will
be a wide-brim leghorn straw
with black velvet trim.
As with most convention
bound women, Mrs. Louchheim
will be toting an oversize hand
bag "probably the beige one
I have now because I probably
won't have time to shop for an-

And she will take that one on

she feels, "is fatal," with conven
