o Doe Of if MM hlr ALr trr Oninirm: Tes Whaf He Think of New Fashions TMr ttt- i j . t - . : i u . i t - r u . United Pres Correipondent New York W The boys who make dresses for the more frilly girls of the world have been having their annual unveiling ceremonies in Paris, showing what's new for fall and winter, and from this distance the whole business sounds like a holy mess. Nobody asked me for a phil osophical opinion, but my notion always has been that the idea of putting clothing on the female body was to keep it fcarm and to try to make it look pretty, or fetching. But the results of the Paris de signers' latest brainwaves seem to be not so muati pretty as-well, just plain ominous. That's the picture that emerges from the acres of earnest prose turned out by the scribes covering the ajhow. Now you take hats. Are the new ones pretty? They're down right scary. Listen to this: Permanent Cne Wrong "Hats oftenlook like a frizzled home permanent gone wrong. Head hugging and hair hiding, they look the way a hangover feels, bulky and fuzzy." And this: "An enormous hat which looked like a sea urchin." Or this: "Latest hats have been put on a dummy and cut with a special razor toive a new fuzzy look." And still another: "Long, jut-ting-out bonnets, resembling dunce caps and blown-up hel mets ..." The strange looK in hats that are sprouting onhe other side of the ocean inspired a lady in our office to observe: "They sound as if they'd be fteal for girls with pointed heads." Spent and parting from one, of the-shows a lady reporter gasped out a paragraph begin ning: "Hats are pie-plate flat, lie smack on top of the head. Upside-down bowls covering the hair are worn at any angle. Any and everything gets into the hair. Black feather-dusters perch above the eyes ... a bowl of sea-moss fresh from off a sea rock was spiked with a pink rose and jaSntily tipped one eye brow." It gets into trfy hair, too. A woftftn's hair is her crowning glory, and why should it be top pedj ith an absurdity of a mon strosity? "Turbin hats," wrote one jour nalist, "start at the hairline and stretch out behind like wind socks at an airfield." As for the rest of the body, the consensus seems to be that this year it be clothed in stuff that is shapeless as possible. "Just a gunny sack with dia monds," is the way one reporter described the new dress look which she said is sweeping Eu rope. - Taking the whole effort of the designing boys with special em phasis on the hat creations and trying to find an overall title for their 1957 work, let's give it a name it's begging for: The clown look. 1 ST.- y t - m V m J HOPING FOR AGREEMENT on disarmament program, Secretary of State Dulles (right) and Harold Stassen confer in London on program to be offered to Russia.(International) K eystone Income Fund oertes K-l A diver4ii2el inveitment in ecurttiei elected for current INCOME.
