o 0 C 2 MAIL TRIBUNE, MedfW, Oregon, Tuesa'.y, July 15, 1958 Riot's Successor Goes Conservative This Fall Br QAY PAULEY UPI Womm'i Editor New York (UPI) Chris tian Dior's young successor labels bis first American col lection the "liberty line," but takes few liberties with the feminine figure. Truth is, the Yves St. Lau rent designs for fall and win ter are conservative, not star tling. Most of the liberty the Paris designer takes is in treatment of hemlines and trim. Models displaying the col lection Monday for visiting reporters wore skirts 18 to 19 inches from the floor. In trim, St. Laurent featured huge bows and fringe to a fare theeyell on daytime, cock tail and evening clothes. Out size collars, double bows lin ger the bust, daytime ascots and evening stoles all wore the fabric "bangs." Waistlines Raised There was only a sprin kling of the wide-skirted tra peze she, which he intro duced lgst spring in his first Paris show. The trapeze won him the accolades of the fash- Ion world, which had been in P tizzy over whether the re placement for the late Dior had Dior's genius. His Paris fall collection will be shown July 31. And traditionally it makes a big ger splash. The "liberty line" included some variations of the tra peze. But mostly it had rais ed waistlines, tapered and short jackets with loose-fitting backs, the bell-shaped skirt, or straight skirts with looser fit than last season. Coats, most of them with hJKe, notched collars, fall loose and straight. Most have fullness at the sleeve, both in i the deep cut of the armhole which often begins at the col larbone, and in the "blouson" sleeve. Deep tucks at .the wrist give a bulb fullness. Choice in Shapes e Dior was one of seven firms displaying their fall and win ter collections Monday, open ing day of "Press Week," the semi-annual event Jjeld by the couture group of the New York Dress Institute. O Designer Pauline Trigere gave women a choice of four q major shapes the wedge, the curtain raiser, the dauphine, and the swizzle stick. , The wedge hinted of the higher empire waist, but seaming detail and. bias cut narrowed the dress, like a - wedge, to the hemline. The natural waistline is loose p The curtain raiser is a hem line treatment for slim, tunic like dresses. The center front is raised, like a theater cur tain going up. Her dauphine silhouette features opulently full skirts; and the swizzle stick is straight and narrow from shoulder to knee, with huge poufs of fabric at the hem breaking the severe line. Silhouettes Vary "This is a" most interesting and exasperating fashion sea son," said a spokesman for Herbert Sondheim, which de cided on the "empire che mise" as; its number one sil houette. This -design fits through the bust, has the high waist, is slightly fitted at the natural waist, and ends in a slim skirt. It's the revival of the em pire for Hannah Troy too; she calls a whole group of dresses "Josephines," designed with the "subtlety of silhouettes that drove Napoleon wild." k. Three experts in suit de sign showed three different shapes for fall. Davidow, cele brating its 50th year in the casual clothes field, clung to the classic, chanel-type. Mon-te-Sano and Purzan put jack et belts to new high, some of them right across the bust line. And Paul Parnes fea tured the "t" line, with the shape widening from a nar row skirt to broadened shoul ders. 4 Sharon Merkel Continues Study ' Miss Sharon Jean Merkel, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Erin Merkel, 2115 Oakwood drive, Medford, has returned to the Glendale Sanitarium and Hos pital, Glandale, Calif., to con tinue her studies.

By MARGARET SCHULER Rome Monti-Parioli is Rome's smartest, newest, resi dential district on a hill over looking all other houses, no two alike, but all so beautiful as to be breathtaking. We have nothing like them in the States, because our apart ments stand properly, in neat rows on straight streets. These buildings are not in row's, but in charming disorder jungles with sometime three or four, harmoniously set in be hind the one facing the street. Stairs, pathways and garden corridors lead back to them. Those on the street conform to the contour of the road, a curve calls for a rounding fa cade; a narrowing point, a tapering front. So they stand, at angles, abreat, vis a vis. . There are no unpleasing rear views, all is beauty. They all have balconies on each floor, and penthouse, every where dripping with vines and flowers, and gay with colored umbrellas and awn ings.' Roses, oleanders and climbing geraniums, comple ment the coloring of the walls, which ranges from palest pink, green, blue, green-blue, and gray to mauve and terra cotta. One seldom sees anyone on the balconies, excepting ser vants, a houseboy in typical maroon colored . coat, or a maid, perhaps beating orien tal rugs. (One of the oddities of Rome is to see wicker beat ers of the sort we discarded 50 years ago). Gardeners work continually with the flowers, and chauffeurs spend spare time dusting and polish ing the shining little cars. bometimes nurse maids in bright blue uniforms, with white caps and aprons, walk with their beautifully dressed little charges, or wheel the darlingest of white prams, all pretty with sheer dainty cov erlets. In an open marble re ception hall the doorman stands. The whole effect is captivating, and expensive looking. Interspersed with these new buildings are old villas, tpyi- cal grand Italian homes of illustrious families. They stand, well sheltered from the intruders, by their high walls, gardens and trees. Some of these are used today as em bassies or convents. Bus 52 curls out Monti- Parioli way, and even in this white gloved, well shod dis trict, the following incident happened today. The bus had made a routine stop, squeezed out the passengers (as some one said like toothpaste from tube) and had closed its doors to start. Ordinarily, neither pleas nor cries will cause the doors to open until the next stop, but a woman shrieked something, ran to the front of the bus, and the doors did open, with her and all the young people flying out and down the street the bus waiting. Shortly they returned, vol uble and gesticulating. What had happened to ' cause the emergency was this. A man, standing beside the lady, had snitched her coin pursev (an art highly developed by the Italians) and she had discov ered it "just as the doors had closed behind him. However, the crowd tracked the thief, recovered the purse he went on his way and the 52 went on its way. Whirligig of life. Orion Sweater Grooming Before washing orlon sweat ers, turn them inside out. Pre treat the soiled neckbands by wetting and sprinkling with a full sudsing detergent., Rub gently. If your automatic washer has a fine-fabrics cy cle, use it. Otherwise allow 2 to 4 minutes washing time Do not wring or prolong agita tion as that causes "piling." Sweaters may be dried in a clothes dryer. Check the in struction manual for approxi mate time. Remove from the dryer while damp and shape the sweater on a flat surface to finish drying. i I V? v . ! fx i . 1 V : 111 pfw STRIPED SACK American styled cotton chemise by Greta Plattry flares above the knees in wide box pleats.
