True enough, Dior's are onlv calf-revealina. but hemlines at most other houses are running a cjimbing race, with somes skirts showing as much as 19 inches of miladv's stocking. Many evening gowns reveal the kneebone in front, with panel trains or stiffened sweeps trailing the ground in back. The aura of the twenties sur rounds the collections with Bal enciaga, Givenchy and Dior giv ing a 1957 twist to lowered, loosened waistlines and present ing modern versions of the fringed, beaded Charleston dress. Other reminders of this doleful era are fingertip length shaped jackets at Balmain and Heim, late day dresses at Dior with wide, loose belts at hip level above long, straight skirts; wrap-around coats are trimmed with long-haired fur at Patou and Balmain, sleeveless and tightly cape-ollared at Lanvin Castillo. Cloche hats are shown at Patou, closely draped turbans at Balmain. Coats in Paris are deliberately bulky, and can be best pictured if you think of an inverted tri angle, wide through the should ers and narrowed at the hem. Many coating fabrics have a homespun look and are heavy beyond belief. Others, such as Ascher's mohair and nylon blends (one version crinkly and nubby, the other long - haired and silky) are immensely supple, almost weightless but with a look of extreme bulk. Castillo opened his collection for Lanvin with five coats in these fabrics. The loose coat with shoulder emphasis is important this sea son and often has fulness cen tered at the back. Patou does it with chasuble folds, Balmain with wondrously cut stole-sleevs, Heim with barrel-shaped backs, Castillo and Desses with bulky cape-tops. Guy Laroche's bulky coats made news. They look for all the world like two piece suil3, but were in fact one, with top cut like a box jacket and al lowed to hang loose above low belted, full or pleated skirts. Long jackets made news in suits, with wristlength and semi fitted ones in numerical lead, but straight and belted ones shown as well. Skirts are most ly narrow, sometimes tapered. Dior's jackets bloused into the hipband and those with long, jutting peplums seem prophetic. Shaggy collars, collarless neck lines with fur or fabric fill-ins and fly fastenings typify the season's suits. When sprinkling clothes for ironing, remember that warm water penerates faster and more evenly than cold. id (MM&&$m i1 :i ?

OEA Plans Commission Trustees of the Oregon Edu-vate cation association voted unani mously August 14, to establish an Educational Policies commis sion. The state president,' Miss Mildred Wharton, said "This commission will be given a free hand to make policy proposals to the association and will be broadly representative." The board has requested that the commission first make a study of the OEA itself and its relation to: Oregon education. Subsequently the commission is to propose specific polities re garding a variety of Oregon's unsettled educational issues. For example the question of what constitutes a basic program for public education in Oregon has never been established. Many have suggested a careful study of the role of an educational association and its relationship to state government. The commission will repre sent a cross section of Oregon educators. It will include a col lege president; two professors of education, one each from a pri- "College Entrance" requirement: MM That aE-important first impression tales on new beauty . . . new assurance when you start your figuring with Skippies.

Miss Anderson added her script to the wire. The regional meeting, first group, was planned to coincide festival in Ashland and a group of 6d attended "As You Lake It Saturday night after a picnic in the park. The women, from many parts of Washington and Oregon, were lavish in their praise of the production and some suggested that the meeting in Medford be made an annual event. Potpourri spoke with Angus and he was filled with just pride about the sell-out house which "As You Like It" drew and about the plaudit he is receiving over the play, which he directs.

Of these, only Oyler and Graham are here this year but David O'Brien, Michael O'Sullivan and George Vafiadis are emerging. as the newcomers who will be remembered when the season is over. Higher prices "are in the wind" for the rest of the year, ac cording to a recent issue of Changing Times. The magazine predicts that products made of steel will increase in price, that wool clothing and products will cost more, and that prospective home buyers will find that "house prices are still edging ahead." The services of the dry cleaner, the doctor, dentist, garageman and laundryman will inevitably follow, says Changing Times. "Father's hearing aid is giving ord man the other day.
