Designer Says
Shapeless Dress
losing Favor
BY MARY PRIME
United Press Correspondent
New York P Relax,
men, curves won't be out of
stale for long. Prize-winning
designer James Galamos pre
dicts the end of the shapeless
chemise.
"The chemise, as it is now,
is finished. It will evolve into
something more flattering to
the figure," said Galanos, win
ner of the 1958 cotton fashion
fward. The award is given an
nually to an American de
tigner by 13 leading cotton
textile firms, in collaboration
-ith the National Cotton
touncil. Galanos said he al
ways includes a special cotton
tollection in his line.
"TTnfnrtunatelv. the chemise
hts been presented one way
fnd has come out anoiner
hm wmno wav. This is the
fault of manufacturers as well
s women. Chemises are sent
to stores with long skirts, and
women don't shorten the nems,
Too often women don't wear
the silhouette with the cor
rect shoes and hats.
"The first form of a fashion
is not the best. But after the
initial season, we get the per
spective and the silhouette
changes," said the designer in
an interview before receiving
the award.
Fashion cycles generally
last 10 years, he added. But
he would not predict the date
of the next cycle because
fashions chanee so fast today
with our tempo. Women al
ways are looking for some
thing new. That puts a con
stant stress on the designer."
Galanos, 34, hails from
Philadelphia, works in Bever
ly Hills, Calif., and shows his
collections only in New York.
He spent three years designing
for Robert Piquet in Paris
and later worked in the whole
sale dress business in New
York. He set up his one-man
shop in California in 1952.
Since then he twice has won
the Coty American Fashion
Critics' award.

Pretty Table Cloth
Good Start for Meal
Fargo, N. D. IIP) An at
tractive meal begins with a
fresh, inviting table cloth, ac
cording to Marguerite M. Ol
son, home management spe
cialist with the North Dakota
Agricultural college.
"A different table cloth will
give a set of dishes, silver or
crystal a brand new look,"
she says.
The expert advises that in
buying a new table covering,
the cloth should harmonize
with the dishes and other
table accessories, and with the
dining room furnishings.
Select materials that lie flat
and stay in place, she advised.
In deciding the size needed,
add 20 inches to the length
and width of the table to
allow a 10-inch overhang on
each side.

y) hoe al on
Superstitions
By JAMES GILLESPY
United Press Correspondent
Gainsville, Fla. (IP) If you
think the only difficulty you
can get into at the dinner
table is spilling salt and for
getting to throw some over
your left shoulder think
again
The Agricultural extension
service of the University of
Florida has discovered dozens
of strange beliefs and super
stitions about food, many of
which bode ill fortune with no
measures known to counteract
them
Take for instance, sugar. If
you think spilling salt is bad,
now learn that spilling sugar
is worse. Why? Because the ill
fortune you get from that act
cannot be overcome by dust
ing a few grams across the
shoulder
You can have bad luck by
other means, too. You can ex
pect trouble if you take the
last piece of bread from a
plate or if you break an un-
sliced loaf,
But there are other super
stitions which indicate food
can bring happiness.
If you eat break crusts your
cheeks will be rosy, men who
eat a lot of bread will have
hairy chests and if you hold
a piece or bread in your
mouth while peeling onions,
you won't cry.
