Paper Fabric for By GAY PAULEY United Press Correspondent New York (U.PJ Don't be surprised if any day now. one of the neighbors says, "Well, I think I'll go paper myself a new dress." For paper is the latest material to enter the fashion world. And one designing consultant foresees the day when a woman can buy or make a fashion able dress for $3 to $5, wear it one, two or three times and toss it into the wastepaper basket. The material, basically paper combined with rayon, nylon or other fibers, is the development of Kimberly-Clark, the manu facturers who launched the paper handkerchief in 1924. The company says the material is as flexible as a natural or syn thetic fabric. Vera de Give, the veteran de sign consultant who pioneered its use in clothes, said the ma terial has the feel of fabric and drapes or takes folds well. "I've had clothing manufac turers here who couldn't tell the difference between a paper dress and a similar style in cloth," she said. Miss de Give first used the material four years ago for the Atomic Energy Commission, which wanted a disposable but comfortable coverall for indus trial workers. Recently, she made a sequinned evening dress for an actress' ap pearance on a television show. The dress cost $4. "In fine fabric, the same dress would have cost $125," she said. K i m b e r 1 y-C lark hasn't dreamed up any fancy name for the material. It's still known by its laboratory name "K-2000." A spokesman said the material can be dyed or printed, and can be made up any weight from cheesecloth lightness to the bulk Berlin Orchestra to go on Tour The second American tour of the Berlin Philharmonic Or chestra, under Herbert von Kar ajan, will open in Washington, D.C., on October 7, according to the Berlin Tourist Office.
