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

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.

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
