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.

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."
