Designers employ such a va riety oftfabrics the International Silk association put out a gloss ary of terms in collections shown this week by the couture group of the New York Dress Institute.

Fabrics Appear Fall Clothes silk crepe; hammered satin, a fabric with mottled surface-like hammered brass or copper. Tiss'te Tweed Tissue tweed is one way to describe the non-bulky light weight tweeds for fall. And chan tilly wool lace is like any other chantilly lace in pattern, but made from wool yarn. Other jaw-breaking terms for the new season: Roshanara crepe, a heavy silk crepe with a wool backing: gros de londres, a heavy formal dress fabric with a pronounced rib in the weave; chameuse, a very thin silk with satin weave and the high polish of satin and panne velvet, a velvet which has been pressed so that the pile lies flat. A girl also had better get used to the term plastron front, which is a trimming for the front of a dress, narrowed from shoul ders to waistline. The marin sil houette also is with us marin is French for sailor, and de scribes the middy-like cut of two-piece dresses or suits. Sailor Influence One designer influenced by seafarers is Karen Stark of Har vey Berin. She not only uses the middy, but cuts daytime dresses in marin blue wool, a blue just a' bit lighter than reg ulation navy. She also shows the sailor collar and the cable stitch of sailor sweaters adapted into the weave of wool jersey dresses. "Project vanguard," the laun ching of America's first earth satellite, inspires Adele Simp son's fall collections. Most of her . clothes are cut on easy-fit-tine but slim lines. Included is the "telescope" sil houette, with horizontal tiers forming the narrow skirts of daytime and cocktail dresses of black crepe. Mrs. Simpson shows split-level skirts for evening. A strapless gown with softly-draped bodice has a floor lengtn skirt caught just above the knee by a big bow, and slit .to reveal a second midcalf length skirt beneath. New Colors The Simpson collection includ ed "cosmic colors," such as Ven us pink, moon white, meteor red, vapor beige and Saturn or medium brown. Mollie Parnis prefers the slim silhouette for fall, but has elim inated the skin-tight sheath. She is one of several designers pro viding at least 10 more inches at the hemline in this classic dress. Unlike some designers who have hauled jacket lengths down ward Miss Parnis keeps the short jacketed costume or suit the jacket ending at the waistline or a couple of inches below, and often collared in fur.

" 1 -i On The Side (Distributed by Kine Reviewing the Paris presenta tion by the American company of O'Neill's "Long Day's . Jour ney Into Night," several critics praised the performances highly but indicated they found the play a bit boring. I am gratified to find somebody who agrees with me. That's what I thought. In the writing of the play being dis cussed, O'Neill seems to have for gotten everything about dramatic technique he learned in Profes sor Baker's Harvard Workshop. It certainly is a sloppy piece of playwriting. Even more so than that dreary O'Neill opus titled "The Iceman Cometh." ROUNDABOUT While waiting at a Fifth ave., intersection for the light to change, I heard a nearby blonde say to her companion, "He is going to propose to me. Of that I am certain." Her companion said, "Don't be too certain." How right she was !A sBen Franklin said ."Mais dans ce monde il n'y rien d'assure que la mort et lest impots." ASKING Queries from clients. Q. Max field Parrish's painting titled "Old King Cole" decorated the Hotel Knickerbocker bar in 1916. On that my friend and I agree. We differ on the price of a Manhattan cocktail in that bar at that time. Help please. A. At the time you mention, cocktails (Manhattan, Martini or Bronx) were priced at the Hotel Knick erbocker bar at two for a quar ter. Q. Don't you know it was Byron, not Fanny Fern, who said "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach"? A. It was Fanny Fern who made the ob servation referred to. What Byron said was: All human history attests. That happiness for man the hungry sinner, Since Eve ate apples much depends on dinner. PASSING BY Eddie Fisher. The con scineiously amiable crooner. As Eddie is a young married man and father, it is nice to know he has a steady job. He has a 15-year television contract call ing for a salary of $17,000 a week. His wife, Debbie, is work ing, too. She is only making about $2,000 a week but as the Fishers are planning to rear a large family every little bit helps. HYNOTISM Hypnotism is not difficult to master. In fact, a 13-year-old boy after reading a book on the subject put a schoolmate into a trance. That hypnotism is easily learned creates a dangerous situation. It is repeatedly claim ed that a person under a hyp notic spell will not do anything that is abhorrent to him. How ever, according to some authori ties on the subject that is not .'i ejlSS " Only a few left $ 98 Now I Yd.

They claim that there have Deen cases ot nonest. law abid ing persons being influenced to commit crimes while hvnnofi. ed. Also hypnotized persons can, according to these experts, be influenced to do things not con nected with crime. As for ex ample, a Londoner recently claimed that he had been mar ried against his will. That when wed he was under a hypnotic spell! AMONG THE MARRIED Is your daughter, by any chance, ' considering marriage with a man of Irish birth or de scent? If so advise her not to take too lightly the claim that marrying an Irishman greatly increases her chances of be coming the mother of twins. Practically every day I hear of the wife of some Irishman hav ing a double feature blessed event. The latest is Mrs. Patricia Monahan of Cresskill, N.Y. She is the mother of twin boys who at birth weighed seven pounds and nine ounces and eight pounds and fourteen ounces. The lads are named Michael and Tim othy. BUSINESS WOMEN Paulette Goddard is the smart est business woman in ' Holly wood nistory. So I note it said. That's wrong. Smartest business woman of all film actresses is Mary Pickford. Ruth Roland rates second in that respect. Ruth made a million dollars in busi ness deals when monev was much more difficult to acquire' than now. Paulette Goddard rates third among Hollywood females as to business shrewd ness. Janet Gaynor is fourth. Rosalind Russell is fifth. PLEASE NOTE Georges Carpentier, the' gal lant French ringman, fought in all classes bantamweight, featherweight, 1 i g h t w e i g ht, middleweight, light heavy and heavyweight. That, you prob ably know. But did you know the same can be said of Pacific Coast battler "Fat Willie" Mee- han? Willie fought Jack Demp- sey a couple of times and gave the 'Manassa Mauler" plenty of trouble. UNDIES GO UNDERGROUND London HP) Visitors from Mars could be forgiven if they assumed English women wore nothing but brassieres and scan ties, an official of the British Professional Womens Clubs said here. Audrey Taylor said her federation was "perturbed" about the growing number of ad vertisements for scanty undies, particularly in subway stations.

LUREX LAME CLOTH Want Abboff-Coslello Part On 'Friendly Terms' Hollywood W Comedians Bud Abbott and Lou Costello have decided to part on "friend ly terms" after 20 years of be ing one of Hollywood's top money-making teams, the com ics' agent revealed today. The agent, Eddie Sherman, said Abbott wanted to end the partnership so he could devote full time to raising thorough breds at his Ojai, Calif., ranch. Sherman said Costello planned to continue as a "single" in movies, nightclubs and on tele vision. Legally, the partnership re mains in force. Both will con tinue to share percentages from their movies. Costello, the rotund member of the team, has made three solo appearances on the Steve Allen television show. He also is sched uled to make a movie based on the life of the late New York Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia. Bomb Test Fallout Said Not Dangerous Washington OP! Two mem bers of the Senate-House Atom ic Energy committee agree that the amount of radioactive fall out resulting from bomb tests is not dangerous. But they also believe that the radiation level could reach the danger point if nuclear bomb testing continues at the same rate for the next 10 years. Reps. Chet Holifield. (D-Calif.) and James Van Zandt (R-Pa.), discussed findings of the joint committee hearings on atomic radiation and fallout on a tele vision program Sunday Cele brity Parade, ABC. They said the American peo ple do not have "all the facts now about atomic radiation. But they said this will be cor rected with publication of com mittee hearings on the subject in a few week's time. fit T Hi ' Wm If m y Xeon It Pi aypSk .81 N.
