Paris Fashions Show Girls
'More Like Girls This Fall
o o By GAY PAULEY
O UPI Womem'i Editor
Paris (UPD Men will
have something to look for
ward to and at come fall and
winter, with girls looking
more like girls.
Here is how Paris says we
will shape up so far, that
is. We still have the rest of
the week and Dior to go.
Busts Ooh-lah-lah!
Waists They're back, but
higher than nature puts them.
No ign of the unfitted gunny
sack of last year.
0Hlys Thank heavens, not
m'rfu emphasis; no bow-dec-
3 4ret9l or hobbled derrieres,
Svhick some of the chemise
, variations of last year pro
duced. Legs Well, all I can say
a, after watching some of
France's top designers chop
away the material, better hie
to the nearest make-me-over
sal6n if your legs aren't com
parable to Betty Grable's.
Gams are extra fair game for
the girl-watchers, with skirts
as high as 20 inches from the
floor.
Silhouette Still narrow,
but easy fitting. Fabric seems
to glide loosely over the body
in daytime clothes, rather
than hugging it. For evening,
full skirts dominate, although
some designers like the sleek,
long formal dinner dress.
Coasts are bulky, and many
have coilars more the scale
of a rape.
Hair-dos The "Ma, you
j caught me necking," look;
mussy and fluffy at the front
and sides. Some of the mod
els looked as if they had used
an egg-beater instead of a
- comb. But the hair is smooth
at the back, usually tucked
up neatly, French - twist fashion.
The men who complained
about what the sack concealed
won't complain about what
the empire revealed.
For we may as well face the
facts. The high-waisted sil
houette is, so far, the "look"
which has swept through U.
S. and European collections
as if all designers were one
great mind running in the
same rut.
Yet thcempire, as it's done
today in bulky wools and
heavy silks, is one to give
even Marilyn - Monroe and
Jayne Mansfield pause.
It calls not only for perfect
legs (skirts are 10 and 20 inch
es from the floor) and for a
309 EAST MAIN
0)0)
1959
very slim waistline, but also
for a small bosom 34 or 35
instead of a movie star pin-up
of 38 or 39. In this latter cate
gory, the empire as Paris
shows it and unless modi
fied to fit individual figures
will turn anything other than
an ideal figure, size 10 or less
into a dowager type.
French Designers
French designers, showing
their fall and winter collec
tions this week for some 600
reporters from all parts of
the world, took to the empire
as if the French hadn't invent
ed it in the first place with
the resolution at the end of
the 1700 s and the rise of the
Emperor Napoleon to power.
Whether the rest of Paris's
haute couture including the
famous House of Dior will go
along was to be decided as
more firms displayed their
collections.
Only Coco Chanel, the
grande dame Paris couture,
this far refused to buy empire
or anything else besides her
classic, unbuttoned jackets,
slim skirts, and coordinated
silk or jersey blouses.
She left virtually all waist
lines where nature put them.

Medford's
Sheath Appears
In Fashion Shows
Paris (UPD Look what's
sneaking back into fashion
the sexy sheath.
This little dress, a lost waif
during the brief reign of the
sack, emerged cautiously and
is not yet offering competi
tion to the high-waisted em
pire . silhouette which . had
dominated almost all Paris
designers' collections for falJJ
ana winter.
- But the sheath is there,
hugging every curve, in both
daytime and cocktail clothes.
One of its major boosters is
Serge Matta, who made his
debut this week. Other de
signers have returned to fig
ure flattery with the waist
cincher.
Whether more of the same
is on the way will be determ
ined today with the powerful
House of Christian Dior
shows. Yves Saint Laurent,
the late Dior's successor,
talked to UPI just before
"curtain time" but gave no
hint of what was coming.
"I'll just, show clothes I
like," he said.
This was Saint Laurent's
second Paris collection.
The one for the Dior New
York wholesale firm, shown
three weeks ago, placed belts
high. But otherwise there was
no hint of the empire.
Matta, a native of Chile,
was one of three of the young
er set of designers to show
Wednesday. The others were
Guy Laroche, 33, and Michel
Goma, 25.
All three pampered a girl's
midriff. Goma left waistlines
where nature put them in his
daytime clothes but lifted
them for evening.
Laroche showed both the
normal and the you-know-what,
I'll be darned if I'll
say empire again, but the lat
ter dominated.
Matta provided a little
something for everybody in
his youthful and zestful
clothes. He brought back the
bell-shaped skirt, that pleas
ing silhouette which curves
from a slim waist into several
yards of fullness at the hem.

Tips for Ridding
Patios of Bugs
Colored lights, aerosol
bombs, and residual sprays
can helD prevent night flying
insects from becoming a nui
sance around backyard patios,
picnic areas and home en
trances. Robert Every, Oregon State
college extension entomolo
gist, says no sure-fire method
has been found to eliminate
rail insects but homeowners
can take certain measures to
reduce insect nuisances. Al
though most insects don't bite
or sting, they often collect in
large swarms cause discom
fort, and sometimes get so
thick they "pave" driveways
and entrances.

Sun Is Curtain's
Worst Enemy,
Economist States
Fargo, N. D. (UPD Keep
the sun in mind when choos
ing curtain fabrics, says a col
lege home management agent.
Sun is a curtain's worst en
emy, so fabrics should be
chosen according to the am
ount of sunlight they are ex
posed to, says Irene Crouch of
North Dakota State college,
i Nylon is a strong fiber and
washes easily, but it cannot
take exposure to sun, she said.
Dacron withstands light well
and does not need much, iron
ing. Fiberglass also resists sun
and is fireproof, but it breaks
when rubbed constantly on a
hard object, such as a win
dow sill, she added.

Only one thing can deter
these feminine Einsteins a
