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.

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:

when William Oyler, Phil Hanson, Richard Graham, Paul Kliss,
Bill Ball, Mainer Hines, George Peppard, et al, were holding forth
on the Ashland stage. 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.
