Ho is 21-year-old Yves Math leu St. Laurent, chosen as successor to the fashion czar who died last October 25. Dior left behind no sketches for the spring fashion shows which open here late in Jan uary. But he did leave be "hind a man who had worked 'with him for four years, and ". acknowledged by Dior him : self as a designer of genius. Whether Dior trained well ; Is yet to be seen.

The chosen few who have seen his sketches many of. them worked out while St. Laurent retired to his native Oran, Algeria are optimistic.

On January 28, the world's top fashion reporters will jam the gilt and grey salons of the House of Dior. Within a few hours the word will begin to spread St. Laurent either will be proclaimed a new leader, or Dior will become just another fashion house, no longer the leader. Before World War II, French style leadership shift ed with each season Coco Chanel might have the best fall collection, but Elsa Schia parelli might have the best designs the following spring. And then Lucian LeLong would take the lead for the following fall. Dior changed all that with his "New Look" in 1947. He dominated the fashion, for 10 steady years. The house of Dior, and us sole stockholder, Marcel Bous sac. the textile tycoon, are betting that St. Laurent can keep Dior dominant.

Fabrics New Colors Beautiful BY GAY PAULEY United Press Women's Editor New York (IP) The spring crop of colors and fabrics is bountiful this season, even if there is a famine in sil houettes.

But we'll make it up to you otherwise." Bold solid colors and spla shy floral prints are featured by the 30 firms who this week are participating in the semi annual showings by the cou ture group of the New York Dress Institute. Fabrics Are Extravagant Fabrics are extravagant thick, downy tweeds in silk, silk crepes, chiffons and sur ahs, silk twills, brushed fleecy wools, hand-painted chantilly laces, pure linens and silks which look like linen, and rustic cottons woven to look like a Harris tweed.

In addition to the usual meeting notices, news about travelers and handouts from agencies, we received some letters. One was from a woman saying "please tell your daughter to write more from Germany we love to share their experiences"; another was an anonymous letter signed "Disgusted Reader" which said "People are sure getting fet up with all the bunk about army wife" and assuring us that "now you know how thousands of people feel"; one was from a business woman which read "I just wanted to say a hearty amen to your column Sunday concerning our willingness to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a lavish spectacle while underprivileged children (underprivileged institutions, too) go begging," and a letter from FB up Shady Cove way, who left the MT staff to live the life of a housewife in the country. "Today I see the perfectly stupendous caricature of Chief Sething Bullis topped with a duster," she wrote. "Is that my old, or a new one? If it is my old one, I am glad that it came to such a wonderfully happy ending." It was FB's old feather duster, but what makes her think it has come to a happy ending? That little duster has been put to a number of interesting uses, and now is on the shelf, awaiting inspiration. FB's note also reminded us that before becoming Mr. Saturday Bullis, Medford's Seth M. Bullis was also known as Mr. Sitting Bullis. This came from the brain of the beauti ful concert soprano, Dorothy Warenskjold, who bestowed it upon Mr. B. at a party at the B. B. Lowry'i one winter night when she saw him sitting cross-legged on the Lowry's hearth, smoking his pipe and otherwise making like an Indian. As we said before, we enjoyed our mail this week. Even the note from "Disgusted Reader" who implied that "thou sands" read this column. If true, this is good news, indeed. Dr. Winea J. Simpson, California woman obstetrician, believes that there is a relationship between mothers' smok ing and premature births. Since prematurity is the greatest contributing factor in this country to fetal death and death during the first month of life, the Simpson study takes on considerable importance, according to a report in the Janu ary issue of Better Homes and Gardens magazine. Facts for the study were gathered over a period of three years at a county hospital and two private hospitals in Cali fornia and covered almost 7,500 women, according to the magazine. Of the babies delivered at the county hospital, 50.6 per cent were Latin Americans. The mothers of these babies re ported less smoking than any other group, and showed the lowest prematurity rate. For the two private hospitals, the ratio of premature ba bies was approximately twice as high for the smokers as for nonsmokers, the magazine says. The difference was less at the county hospital possibly because of other factors: poor diet, the large number of unwed mothers and lack of pre natal care, the report continues. Thirty percent of county hospital patients did not receive prenatal care, while only seven percent of private hospital patients did not have medi cal attention during pregnancy. Most striking in the results was the apparent relation ship between prematurity and the number of cigarettes smoked each day, according to the report. The more ciga rettes smoked each day, the higher the prematurity rate. And the relation was "uncanny" the magazine says. Those who smoked 15 cigarettes per day accounted for 13.6 percent of the prematurity; those who smoked 25 ciga rettes accounted for 25 percent of the prematurity; very heavy smokers 35 cigarettes percent. Doctor Simpson also assembled reports of previous re search that has been done to ing on women's reproductive processes. She included in her report the work of German researchers who found that among women working in tobacco factories there were fewer pregnancies, more miscarriages their infants during the first three years of life. The German reaction to Sputnik is less emotional than that of the Americans, the Soldier writes from Berlin. For the most part, German people any immediate threat to world security, he reported, and many say they are glad that the Russians launched the first satellite, hoping that this will show Americans that Europe and Asia are not necessarily so far behind in technology. Germans also believe that now the U.S. won't flaunt its supe riority and technical know-how so much, he wrote. The Germans dubbed the American satellite either "Spat- nik" meaning more or less "late-nik" or "Geht-nicht" which translates into "goes not.' The U.S. forces joke about the failure of their own country's one another to watch out for Germany is justv "sitting the best," he concluded. The mail also brought this from a firm promoting the sale 1774, the English Parliament, a law forbidding women from by using scents, washes, cosmetics, artificial teeth, high heeled shoes or iron stays.
