Sack Style Becomes High Style By GAY PAULEY United Press Correspondent New York (IP) This week in Manhattan: The Paris sack and the feed sack came together in a rare type of fashion show at a local hotel. High style designers turned their skills to "farmer" fabrics as a feature of the fifth annual national cotton bag sew ing contest.. Number one sil houette was the chemise, or sack, in a variety of paisley and floral prints. Ten thousand women entered the contest, co-sponsored by the National Cotton council and the Necchi Sewing Machine Company. The three finalists, each of whom won a week in Manhat tan and a new sewing machine, were Mrs. Fred Sowers, Winston-Salem, N.C., Mrs. Harold Vestal, Niangua, Mo., and Mrs. Carl Arnton, Columbia Heights, Minn. One stenographic equipment concern, Underwood, has come out with a "light bulb" which bends, and predicts homes of the future will have window shades, draperies and other furnishings which light up at the touch of a button. The forecast came from Wes tinghouse, which this week in troduced an electro-luminescent bulb. This means, explained the company, that sheets of glass, metal or plastic can be made to produce light by application of a coat of phosphor. When power is turned on, the, phosphor glows. It was bound to happen . . . The bubble gum industry moved in on Sputnik. One manufacturer packages the gum in a box featuring spacemen, satellites and a beep-beep signal. The manufacturer dispatched a shipment of bubble gum to Ni kita Khrushchev, with a note suggesting that the Russian boss try "blowing about this Sputnik for a change."

Mrs. Lorraine Blair, a small bundle of feminine energy, has put her theory to work by open ing what she believes is the only all-woman investment house in the nation. Mrs. Blair has spent 30 years opening to women the doors of investment houses in Chicago's LaSalle Street canyon of busi ness. Twenty-two years ago she be gan to worry about the lack of concern financial houses showed for women who wanted to make investments. To combat this she started the non-profit Woman's Finance Forum of America. "There were hundreds of clubs talking to women about art, science and literature," said Mrs. Blair, "But no one was tell ing them about the foundation for all their culture s o u n d finance." Her new broker-dealer office has a staff of five women direc- Mrs. Homemaker's forum, a non-profit home service organi zation, recommends this use for old nylon stockings.

This way, it's eas ier to keep track of the small garments. tors, eight saleswomen and a five-girl office. The firm hopes to save wom en from such financial ills as worthless stock, sick bank ac counts and flat wallets. Strangely enough, said Mrs. Blair, about 30 per cent of her first clients have been men. As for the women, Mrs. Blair said that from one to 14 they need good health; from 14 to 40, good looks; from 40 to 60 per sonality and charm; and after 60, cash. She gracefully declines to tell which age category she is in. In reply to questions on how it feels to be starting a career at an age when most people are Sunday, November 17, 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL YIBUH SEVEN thinking of retirement. Mrs. Blair talks with the zeal of an evangelist. "Women own most of the na tion's wealth. They spend most of the earned income. They con trol the education of the chil dren and on top of that they have more leisure time than men. It's time someone told them the financial facts of life," she said. Balance Is Best Mrs. Blair tells women not to be bashful about questioning their husbands on such matters as the location of safety deposit boxes, family stocks and bonds, insurance, wills and the prob able size of the estate in event of death. She also has some ideas on building and maintaining an es- AN INTIMATE SUBJECT of Nero (that wily ruler of ancient Rome) would surely have cap tured his fickle heart, had she .been able to charm him with Incanto Perfume.

As a rule of thumb she sug gests 25 per cent of the income for shelter, 25 per cent for food, 15 per cent for clothing, 12V2 per cent of savings and 10 per cent for upkeep. "That leaves women 12 per cent for everything else," she said with a smile. She also said women should keep a reserve of at least two months income easily acessible as a "shock absorber." After that, she suggested, a woman is ready to invest. A balanced program of insur ance, bank savings, government bonds, investment trusts, real estate and stocks, both common and preferred, is the best plan for a woman, according to Mrs. Blair. Women shouldn't invest in common stocks unless they are prepared to lose, she said, but this adds "spice" to finance. As a final word, Mrs. Blair said, "What I learned was from experience and if I learned other women can also."
