New State Department Program Aids Wives in Foreign Service By PATRICIA WIGGINS United Press Staff Correspondent Washington UR) An attrac tive brunette who relied on a "spirit of adventure and imagi nation" to carry her through 16 years and nine countries as a foreign service wife now helps others adopt the same formula. Mrs. W. Monroe Blake is in charge of "social usage and pro tocol in a new Department of State program of orientation for wives going abroad for the first time. What the job adds up to is an swering a multitude of questions for American women faced wilh ! setting up housekeeping away from home for the first time . . . like what clothes to take to Rangoon or how to entertain in Indo-China. In her two -weeks session with the wives, Mrs. Blake em phasizes first and always that foreign service families "repre sent the United States and the American people at every mo ment and at all times." Part of Team And she stresses that in per haps no other situation is "a wife so much a part of the team" as in the foreign service. If a young embassy officer and his wife are Invited to a party at the home of the mission chief, "they should know they haven t been invited to be given a good time . . . they have a job to perform." Part of the envoy's job is en tertaining local officials, she ex plains, and his staff must as sist him in that role as well as i the office. Mrs. Blake advises the wives that unless a special climate warrants, they should not rush out and buy a whole new ward robe. "Most likely you have a per fectly good selection in your closet," she tells them. "Take them along. You'll probably find a dressmaker who can add a few new touches, and besides no one at the new post will have seen any of your clothes so it will be like a new wardrobe." Mrs. Blake also strongly rec ommends that the wives learn the language of the country they will live in. She speaks English, Polish, Spanish, French and Italian. Contrary to the complaint that "you only use that language once," Mrs. Blake recalled how handy her Polish came in when she was living in Persia. The servants were Polish refugees. Until her husband died a year ago, Mrs. Blake accompanied him on assignments to Poland, Norway, Burma, Mexico, Iran, Italy, French West Africa and England. There were some rough times like her wartime, round-about flight alone to Tehran to join her husband, and the couple's return to post-war Poland to find trenches in the garden and meals costing $10 per person. But Mrs. Blake said she wouldn't change any of those experiences.

Main Medford British Model Says Russians Wild About Western Fashions By WILLIAM SEXTON United Press Correspondent London (U.R) A top British model who visited Moscow re cently says Russian women should take a fashion lesson from deposed royalty. Cherry Marshall, attractive boss of a London modeling agen cy, went to the Soviet capital to show British fashions. "Women in Communist Russia should take a fashion hint from the czarinas they helped de pose," she told the United Press. "There are plenty of good looking women in the Soviet Union. We saw them, in spite of the shapeless clothes and drab makeup they wore. "Designers in Communist Rus sia's two-year-old fashion indus try are trying hard to catch up with Western fashions. They are creating smart dresses and suits and gowns with slim lines and wasp waists that apparently never get much farther than the drawing board. "They should go right into the Kremlin to make their sketches. For there on display are the gowns worn by the wives of the royal rulers of pre-revolutionary Russia." Tradition Miss Marshall said the stately gowns ilustrate what Russian fashions should become "simple but elegant lines that do justice to the healthy figures and stately bearing of the beautiful women of Russia. "The gowns show off another thing Russian fashion designers should keep in mind tradition," she said. "The simplest Russian home is filled with wonderful traditional woodwork. "You can buy a gracefully carved flower vase in Moscow, but you cannot buy a good piece of costume jewelry. " 'Simplicity and elegance' is what a dress designer named Nadezhda Serova said about the English fashions we showed thousands of Russian women and men at the gigantic pavil ion in Gorki Park. "The women were wild about the fashions my six girls mod eled and the men were wild about the models. "We gave two shows a day, six days a week for three weeks and the seats and standing room for l,500r persons were filled every show, with hundreds turned away disappointed. "They all clapped enthusias tically. And the men sent the models notes like, 'I hope you remain as beautiful until you are 90." "Some of the men even begged us to bring over a show of men's fashions." Shoes Are Worst The show was sponsored by the London modeling house group and various British man ufacturers. Miss Marshall said she was amazed at what clothes are avail able for Russian women. "The dresses have form-hiding lines," she explained. "There were no smart cottons. Most women seemed to think the height of fashion in a dress was rayon, in any pattern or shape. "The shoes were the worst of the lot. Can you imagine a sturdy British walking shoe raised to high heels? Even the high-heeled slippers for evening wear had heels almost as thick as a man's. "Now apparently there is a five-year plan for fashions. Newspapers and magazines are paying more attention to what a woman wears. More women are buying clothes abroad and bring ing them home. "There is an amazing collec tive enthusiasm for a new idea i in Moscow. If they take to fash ions generally as they took to the .clothes we showed and if' they make the most of their own brand of beauty and their tra ditional costumes I predict the norms of the five-year plan for fashion will be reached be fore Nikita Khrushchev can say 'Christian Dior'."
