'American Look7 Sweeps Paris; Women Adopt Casual Style Hardy Giant - Now Blooming Come Early and Select Your Colors LEWIS' NURSERY-Jacksonville Turn Right at Drug Store, U Mile No. on Old Stage Road By BARBARA MILLER United Press Correspondent Paris iU.P.) The "American look" is the latest style in this fashion center which prides it self on decreeing what the world's women will wear. While Christian Dior and his high-fashion friends were busy showing, their fall collections to American buyers, the French ready - to - wear manufacturers were just as busy turning out clothes copied right from Main Street, U. S. A. This fashion turn-about began a year ago and now is in full swing. Co-ordinated separates have had a big boom summer-long. Fashion magazines advise their readers to co-ordinate blouse, skirt and cardigan costumes in one solid color. In the dress lines, department stores all summer have shown racks full of printed barn-dance style blouses and flounced skirts. Sail cloth crossed the Atlantic, as did the sporty top-stitch de tailing o typical of California styles, to appear as casual skirts and tops. Casuals Are New Casual fashions, which are classics in the United States, are a real "new look" here, and are creating a small revolution in the French woman's way of dressing. The average Frenchwoman for generations has gone to the little - dressmaker - around - the corner for summer and winter clothes alike. But rising fabric costs and dressmaker fees make the custom order tradition hard y mm v are the . "MOMS that are picking out their children's clothes for school ...

The Frenchwoman still has her suits and cocktail dresses made to order. But like many American, she now does her own housework, so less expensive and inter. changeable clothes are what she seeks for daytime. Paris Studies U. S. Two of Paris' top department stores last spring sent buyers to the U.S.A. for the latest in just about everything except food. The resulting exposition was designed to stimulate French manufacturers and show the pub lic what is possible. One of the stores said it sold out on every thing from stiff petticoats to electric clocks and children's games. American-made dress fabrics sold wildly. As a result of a smaller ex position last year, orlon fabrics now can' be found in all forms in this country. Little boys' clothes' also are another fertile field for Amer ican styles. Blue jeans now are considered chic by Sorbonne students and six-year-olds alike. This season, Davy Crockett and Buffalo Bill are the heroes of the small fry, and the costumes are stitch for stitch copies of the American ones. Sunday. August J, 1858 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SEVEN Pearl Walls Marketed for Home Owners By ELIZABETH TOOMEY United Press Correspondent New York (U.R) A man who makes pearl buttons and pearl handles for revolvers has dream ed up a new do-it-yourself proj ect for homeowners. Install your own pearl-covered walls. People usually laugh 'when he tells them his idea, which doesn't bother pearl promoter David Kay in the least. He has a mother of pearl panel tacked up behind his kitchen sink at home, three factories filled with Australian oyster shells and unlimited con fidence. Kay developed the process of fastening oyster shells into gleaming sheets several years ago while he was trying to find a product for shells too thin to use for simple items like shirt buttons. The result seem ed destined at first only for palaces or luxury hotel lobbies, since the price was around 520, 000 for a single wall. Instructions Offered Now he figures he's found a way to make pearly sheens on walls at least as practical as pearl handles on revolvers. He will put out instructions, Kay says, so a homeowner could cover one wall of an average sized room himself at a total' cost of around $1,000. "In these days that isn't so impractical," Kay said. "A lot of people are buying $30,000 houses now. They'll pay $1,000 for something different, if it lasts a long time." His wife decided to try the kitchen sink panel because Kay told her mother of pearl was unharmed by splashing water and easy to clean with a damp cloth. It also can have nails driven into it and is fireproof. "We make place mats out of it for the table too," Kay said. "And it would make a nice sun screen over a patio the sun filters through it." Lots of Experience Kay, who keeps an extra set of revolver handles in stock at all times for Roy Rogers, is a former motion picture camera man who got the idea for prod ucts of mother of pearl when he went to Australia 20 years ago for a film on pearl diving. Women's jewelry was his first venture into his new business. He designed bracelets and neck laces of mother of pearl. Then he branched into pearly-covered compacts, cigarette cases and jewel boxes. During World War II he con fined himself to the pearl but ton business when his supply of Australian oyster shells was shut off. Now he has 700 people employed in three factories, and covers everything from chande liers to radio cabinets in mother of pearl. "I don't really want it to be come a common household item," he explained. "Then it wouldn't have so much appeal." Lima-ham pie makes a good casserole, especially when topped with biscuits made with cream-style corn for the liquid. A good dessert to go with, the casserole can be made by heating a can of drained canned cling peach halves with a little honey and cinna mon and baking for the last 10 minutes along with the lima ham pie. Use 1 cup dry limas, 2V6 cups water, 1 meaty ham hock or 1V4 cups ham pieces, salt, 3,i cup chopped onion, V4 cup chopped celery, 2 tablespoons butter or drippings, 1V4 cups canned toma toes, 1V4 cups cream-style corn, milk and 1 cup biscuit mix. Rinse, limas, add 7h cups water and boil 2 minutes. Let soak 1 hour. Meanwhile, simmer ham 1 hour. Then add soaked limas and boil gently about IVi hours or, until both are tender. Taste and season with !j to 1 teaspoon salt, depending on ham. Saute onion and celery in butter a few minutes. Stir in tomatoes. l' cups corn, limas and 3i cup cooking liquid. Remove ham from bone, cut into pieces and add to mixture. (You should have IVi cups ham.) Heat to boiling and put into casserole. Stir remaining 'i cud corn and about 3 tablespoons milk into biscuit mix to make soft dough. Dot by tqaspoonfuls on top of ham-lima mixture. Bake in moderately hot oven (375 degrees F.) abbut 30 minutes, until top is browned. Serves 6. Woman Miller Runs Century-Old Mill Stillwell, Okla. (U.PJ Deep in the Cookson Hills of eastern Oklahoma, once a hideout of notorious outlaws, a century-old spring-fed grist mill produces stone-ground corn meal. Operator of the mill is Mrs. Golda Unkefer, who believes she is the only woman miller in the nation. Her corporation, Golda's Old fetone Milling com pany is an all-female outfit. Mrs. Unkefer got the idea for the organization seven years ago, and in April of 1950 she bought the mill. It had been operated in 1838 by a Cherokee Indian, who ground corn hauled by power over wooded trails by other Indians. The mill is named Bitting Mill for Dr. Nicholas Bitting, who served as counselor and doctor for the Cherokees in Indian Territory days. Krs. Unkefer said it took months of work, to restore the mill. The old water wheel was replaced by a 24-foot steel wheel imported from France. The wheel is powered by the water from scenic Bitting Springs. The mill now grinds an aver- SLIP-COVER TRICK FRESH FRUIT DESSERT New York ttl.R) Use wine to give zest to summer's fresh fruits as strawberries, peaches or apricots.
