"Ther e's just too much to - do about 2 sack," said cay Pauley the designer in an interview before show ing her spring collection to 200 visiting fashion reporters "This spring, I'm showing sil- noueites tor every- figure "The sack definitely is for daytime, casual wear also definitely for the young or very tall, slim figure. Not for any big bosomed owman "The men hate the sack, you know. Course, men have to be clothes-trained. They don t like sudden change they want their girls to loo. familiar. But I believe we signers should make clothes to give men heart throbs, not heart attacks." Mrs. Simpson went the chemise route to the extent of a modified version, with belt which could be tied fore or aft. Her motto for spring "be at ease with ease." Most of her clothes for daytime are easy-fitting, barely skimming the body, rather than hug ging any part of the anatomy, But there's always a waist line. She joined other suit de- signers in featuring the short jacket for spring. One suit has a "petal" jacket, curved and bolero length in front, straight-cut and longer at the back. Other costumes fea ture Chanel-type jackets boxy and loose in fit. And it's a rare suit maker who this spring isn't featur ing the three-piece costume- skirt, flower-printed blouse and jacket lined with the same floral fabric. Hannah Troy showed suits and dresses which could be worn three ways, either un belted, tightly belted, or only half-belted. By individual collections, here are highlights of other spring clothes previewed Wednesday: Claire McCardell: She re vived her string bean silhou ette of 1952, a tubular shape which is the "chemisiest" chemise yet. Many dresses are half-belted in front, loose at the back. One unusual fea ture of her chemise is the muff pocket, managed with slits on either side of the tummy to create a flat muff effect Herbert Sondheim: Anoth er version of the slim dresses shows here, in the "willow wand" silhouette. Costume jackets are cut to stand slightly away from the bodice, to show there is a dress In stead of a camisole top un derneath. Mollie Parnis: The design er who does many of Mrs. D w i g h t D. Eisenhower's clothes decided a woman's waistline should show. Even her loosest fitting dresses have waistline indentation to hint at shape. She sticks with the full-skirted dress for fes tive occasion. George Carmel: This manu facturer showed both finger tip and longer jacketed suits. Many of the jackets are soft ly fitted; some have a hint of blousing. Grenelle - Estevez: The un even hemline, sweeping up to mid-calf in front, down to a train in back, marks the eve ning clothes of this collection, designed by Luis Estevez. The designer also featured low backs on short cocktail dresses, some of them slashed to the waistline.

Wool, the survey found, was the most popular fiber for suits and skirts. This held true regardless of whether women were telling what they had in their wardrobes, what they had bought in the year preceding the interview, or what they liked best, Rayon or acetate were well represented, but other syn thetics so far had made little impact, even when blended with wool. In sweaters, orlon was mak ing the greatest inroads on wool. More women said they had bought orlon sweaters in the preceding year. Nylon sweaters also were popular. Practically all women had something to say about wool, the department said. In parti cular, it said, women liked Its smart appearance. The few who criticized wool said they thought It irritated their skin or was difficult to clean and care for. Orion, wool's chief com petitor for sweaters, was liked especially for the easiness of care and cleaning, and also for holding its shape. The principal reason wo mengave for selecting the last suit, skirt or sweater they purchased was that they liked the fabric. Other reasons in cluded color, style, and fit.
