Potpourri New York, July 7 Life is more formal in the eastern United States, we've been told. There isn't the relaxed, friendly atmos phere that prevails on the west coast. Maybe so, and then again, maybe not. Twice in one day in Philadelphia this middle-aged matron with obviously graying hair was called "sweetheart" by perfectly strange men, and yesterday shortly after arrival in New York, a man called us "kid." Gathering up food in one of Philadelphia's numerous Horn and Hardart cafeterias for a hasty lunch we asked the attendant to give us some salad dressing. "What kind would you like, sweet heart?" he inquired amiably. A couple of hours later we stopped a policeman and asked him if he could direct us to a certain building. "I sure can, sweetheart," was the reply. " Getting off the train in New York yesterday the three school teachers and Potpourri were stranded with a mountain of lug gage and no red caps in sight. Before long the conductor came along and Potpourri started to inquire for a porter, but became a trifle confused and used the term "bell hop" instead. The conduc tor gave us a dirty look and said "Where do you think you are, kid?" and walked away. How to win friends and influence people, and increase patronage for the Pennsylvania railroad. Not that the Pennsylvania railroad needs any more customers. Every seat on our car was taken and crowds of passengers struggled off and on the train at every stop. Struggle is a good word for travel during the tourist season. First you hurry like mad, being pushed and shoved and pushing and shoving the other fellow, and then you stand in line. Travelers stand in line to buy tickets, to board planes and trains, to register at hotels and to check out. They stand in line in cafeterias where food is cheap and quick, and hundreds are being served, and stand in line at well-known restaurants where the check for four or five people edges up toward $30. When we related our traveler's woes to Dr. and Mrs. H. T. Heald, our New York hosts, Dr. Heald remarked "You even have to stand in line to go to church nowadays." He spoke of the great crowds who struggle to hear Evangelist Billy Graham, and Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, and said those who wish to have a seat in the main auditorium of Dr Peale's church must arrive at least one hour before the service starts. That may be, but Potpourri and daughter did not have to stand in line to attend services in St. Bartholomew's Episcopal church on Park avenue this morning. It was comfortably filled, but not crowded. The choir was excellent, but the sermon delivered by a visiting clergyman from England, was routine. However, it is a pleasure to just sit quietly in such a beautiful building. The vaulted main auditorium is several stories high, there is much handsome Italian marble of various colors, artistic mosaics, lacy iron grill work and beautiful carvings. The enor mous main doors are of bronze, heavily ornamented. During the week we hope to visit other churches of the city. Ye Ed RWR has said that cab drivers are a good source of in formation in a large city, and we've found this true. For the most part, they are courteous, too. The cabbies who taxied us around yesterday were courteous and accommodating they spot ted us immediately as visitors and immediately offered helpful in formation on places to go, where to eat, and what to see. When one found we were from Oregon, he immediately said, "That's Dave Beck's country, isn't it?" He had no use for Mr. Beck, or unions in general, and said that New York cab drivers would never unionize. "Unions have nothing to offer us," he said. ''As long as we give good, low cost service, we are busy and make a good living. It's as simple as that. Why should we unionize?" ' . Potpourri is certainly experiencing the variety and change that a good vacation is supposed to offer. At home the atmosphere is strictly rural we can see the surrounding hills and practically the entire sky from our back doorstep. From the 17th floor win dow of the Heakjs' apartment, Potpourri sees nothing but other tall buildings; from the little balcony there is a view of the East river. Welfare island, Queens and the Queensborough bridge. Gardeners living in New York apartments manage to find some "green thumb" pleasure with house plants, window boxes and houseplants. Several terraces and roofs in this, neighborhood boast fairly extensive plantings and one has a good sized willow tree. Mrs. Heald reports that last summer she even grew vege- Number of Women Workers Climbs; Average Age, 40 Today's typical working wom an is about 40 years old and her age does not seem to limit her opportunities as a member of the nation's working force. These and other trends are suggested in a review of esti mated 1956 census reports from U. S. Departments of Agricul ture and Oregon State college economists. The report shows there are now more older wom en, as a group, at outside jobs than in 1940 and 1948. Opportunities for older wom en to work outside the home have been prompted, experts say, by the shortage of young single women workers and older men workers, and the continu ing strong demand by labor to maintain the country's high rate of production. The low birth rate of the 1930 s and early marriages are blamed for the lack of young women workers. Increased rate of retirement among men over 65 takes more than the usual number of men out of jobs. Adding dollars to their hus band's paychedks is the big rea son given by women for going back to work. Extra money is an incentive to both low and better-than-average income groups. Re cent years show an increase in the number of working women whose husbands earn between $7,000 and $10,000 a year. The picture changes for the younger women between 20 and 24 years of age. Married or sin ale, the employment figure has dropped. Hicli marriage rates and increased college enroll ments usually take single -girls out of jobs. In 1956, the census reports, there were a million and a half more persons working in the U. S. than in 1955. Of these addi tional workers, two-thirds were women.

Bush beans produced a fine crop, but tomatoes were not so successful. Last night we sat for a long time on the little balcony watching the traffic on the river, and the myriad lights and then went to bed and slept for eight wonderful hours; today has been peace fully and leisurely. But Monday we start "to do" New York, beginning with the United Nations. Big cities, we've decided, should be taken in small sips instead of big gulps. But we have only a week to spend in this vast city of eight million inhabitants which literally offers everything to the visitor. So, here goes for New York in big gulps. O.S Christian Dior Drops Wastline Several Inches in Fall Showing By GAY PAULEY United Press Correspondent New York (IP) Christian Dior, who 10 years ago dropped the hemline, now has hauled the waistline down. The French designer, in his New York collection for fall, de fined the new silhouette either with low-placed belts or by the cut of dresses and suit jackets. To go with it, he also made skirts just a bit longer. But no cause for alarm, girls. This time, unlike the drastic lengthening of 1947, skirts are down no more than an inch. Dior's office ex plained the hemline is "in keep ing with the lowered waistline." For evening, the designer showed hemlines often short in front and long in back. It is anybody's guess whether the New York wholesale line is a harbinger of what he will show Aug.,1 in his Paris custom col lection. Seven Groups Displayed The Dior collection as one of seven designer groups displayed Wednesday for fashion reporters attending shows by the couture group of the New York Dress In stitute. Sometimes Dior's lowered waistline is more in the "feel ing" of cut rather than in anat omical location. This is the case with some of the suit jackets which hug the upper hipbone Deeper Pastels Hold fancy of Housewives Washington HP) Clear, clean I pastels are overwhelming favor-' ites with Mrs. Housewife, U.S.A. Pastel yellows, corals, aquas, blues and wood tones lead the i color hit parade. Nose-diving in popularity are gray-greens and yellow-greens, i In last place are deep greens and browns. j The trend on interior color is t cited in a recent report issued i by a California company, consid ered the giant in the produc-1 tion of tubes of colorants for the paint industry. Mrs. Housewife is demanding more and more color, declares the report, and the lighter, the cleaner the bettter! ; Some fancy hair-splitting over i two blues is cited as evidence in i the strong case for clear, clean pastels. To the undiscerning eye, they almost look like twins. But on the upwing in popular ity is the clean pastel blue and shooting downward is the one time favorite dusty blue. Clear, clean pastels are ex pected to continue their march tempo, the report concludes. but are unbelted and completely "at ease" through the midriff. Several of these shorter jackets are buttoned, but designed so the bottom isn't used. In other costumes, Dior defi nitely spells out the low waist line with belts set two to three inches below the normal one. One handsome dress -in black silk and wool is completely straight of line, with attached belt of the same fabric starting about two inches from the natu ral waist, winding around the upper hip, and instead of join ing, finishing off a couple of inches lower. Small bows of the fabric designate the beginning and end of the belt. The "Mobile Look" The Frenchman, never a man to let a collection go without a monicker, calls his new silhou ette the "Mobile Look." It features necklines often collarless and usually standing away from the neck. When col lared, the clothes are eiher scarf-tied, or draped. Sleeves are loose fitting. Skirts gener ally are slim, but a few are pleated or draped. Dior goes along with other de signers who provide walking room in the slim cut clothes which predominate this fall. He cuts slits from 6 to 24 inches in skirts, but always builds an under-foundation of the same fabric for modesty's sake.

Honeymoon Paid by Bride Question for Couples East Lansing, Mich. API One of the first financial prob lems facing many engaged cou ples is: Should the bride pay for the honeymoon if the bride groom doesn't have the money? ' Students in a marriage course at Michigan State university were evenly divided on the ques tion, Margery R. Ross, assistant professor in MSU's School of Social Work, reported. "The bride has to pay for nearly everything else in the wedding," one co-ed said. "And it isn't fair that she should have to pay for the honeymoon too.' Some thought it would be pro per for the bride to pay if she had been employed while the bridogroom was going to school. "After all," said those in fav or of the bride's paying, "once they're married, what's hers is his and what's his is hers. Be sides, after marriage, the hus band usually pays the bills for the rest of their lives." Lahorttory-tested lor softness, strength, and ohsorbeney.
