St. Laurent looks like an earnest school boy instead of a famous couturier. His dark-rimmed glasses seem much too big for his slender face and his voice often drops to a shy murmur. Author of "Trapeie" Despite his youth, he won instant success this fall with his first collection after tak ing over: the House of Dior. .- Creator of the "trapeze" look, he caused an even great er furor . by dropping hem lines, while all the other Paris designers were lifting them to the knee-caps. "You see, there is no such thing as one correct hemline," he explains. "The length of the dress must be proportion ed to the height of the wom an. A short woman cannot wear a too short dress. And I do not think it looks nice when a woman sits down to see her knees showing." Visits West Coast St. Laurent made his first visit to San Francisco Wed nesday night to show part of his season's collection. Today he flies to New York and in two weeks he'll be back at his drawing board in Paris, working some 1,000 sketches for his spring showings. Like other members of haute couture's inner circle, St. Laurent cannily declines to tell what his next move will be.. In the highly com petitive fashion world, the drape of a collar, the droop of a waist line is top secret until opening day. Who does he think of when he sits down at his drawing pad? Perhaps Brigette 'Bar dot, that other French young ster who rose to world fame, and an acquaintance of St Laurent? "No," says St. Laurent. "I think of my 14 models. They are very elegant" and he adds emphatically, "v e r y, very thin." IP it jp mi IT IT a In case anyone cares, this is the seventh first paragraph Potpourri has written for this column. The big blue waste paper basket is filled with crumpled pieces of paper with a line, or two, or even four, written at the top. At one point we abandoned the whole idea and went upstairs' and 'folded the day's washing, which we'd dumped in the middle of the bed when it came off the line because we didn't have time just then to do anything else. While we folded the towels and wash rags and turned the socks we said to ourselves, what made you think it was a good idea to write a column in -the first place? And so we answered ourselves-we wanted to write a column because in a column you can write the things you can't write in a routine news story-little human interest tales, and anecdotes and humorous happenings. A reporter can maybe venture an opinion occasionally, or repeat the writings of others which are better and wiser than her own. Too, this column is the place where the women's editor occasionally can explain what went wrong. And now we're getting somewhere. All along we've been brooding about Monday. Monday as the day we found out how many mistakes were in Sunday's paper. And such original mistakes, too. Like the story which started out to announce the birth of a child, only it never did because some lines were left out. And the line which read "Miss William Sammons" instead of "Mrs. William Sammons." But the one which made us tear our hair and jump up and down in our corner of the news room was the most original of all. One which we can't recall ever having made in the women's section before. We ran a picture of three women and only identified one. There have been times when the cutlines said Miss Jones, when really it was Miss Smith, but never before did we publish a picture and just let the readers guess who the subjects were. So here and now we apologize to Mrs. John Winton and Mrs. Thomas MacLeod. The two women kindly consented to pose with Miss Bergliot Larsen last Thursday afternoon during the tea given at the hospital in Miss Larsen's honor. Mrs. Winton stood at Miss Larsen's left, and Mrs. MacLeod, wearing her hospital uniform, was at the right of the guest of honor. Since the staff of the hospital was giving the tea, and since Mrs. MacLeod is the dietitian, she took charge of the party. The auxiliary women helped with arrangements, and many of them were among the guests. .. After Potpourri had fizzed and simmered a bit over the discovery of the mistakes, we happened to approach EA's desk on an errand. He looked amiably in our direction and inquired "What, haven't you killed yourself yet?" Among the welter of newspapers, magazines and clip pings which make up Potpourri's current collection are three of unusual interest in the light of Little Rock and other cities of the south where the integration problem is the most troublesome. One is a clipping irom the New York Times which says that Ernest Green, lone Negro graduate of Little Rock's Central High school last spring, has started college at Michi gan State university, East Lansing. The story -notes that the "17-year-old Arkansan was little noticed among nearly 4,000 youth entering freshman week activities." The story further said that the Negro had been assigned to room' with Larry Osternik of East Grand Rapids, Mich., who is white and who had expressed pleasure over the assignment. His mother added "Larry only wanted a roommate who was a very nice boy and I think he got one." ' The October 4 issue of The Saturday Review reports that The Harvard club of New York has elected a Negro member, the first in its history. The young man elected is Clifford Leopold Alexander Jr., son of a Harlem housing director; he is not only a graduate of Harvard, but also of Yale Law school and is presently serving in the Army. He was graduated cum laude, was both president of the Student Council and first marshal of his class. Harvard club Presi dent C. C. Felton has stated that "We're very proud of it, and we feel we've made a teal leap forward. But I want to emphasize that it was a matter-of-fact thing." . , The Saturday Review thought it pertinent , to point but that The Harvard club is a prominent social -group and has one of the longest waiting lists of any club in the country. Membership requires that a man be proposed, seconded and voted on. The third piece of material arrived in Wednesday's mail. It is apparently a re-print of the editorial page of the Jackson Daily News, Jackson, Miss., . of August 29, 1958. The entire page, with the exception of one article, which measures about eight inches, is devqted to one subject, the increasing rate of illegitimacy in this nation with emphasis on the fact that the rate is much higher among non-whites than whites.. There is no space devoted to political news in Mississippi or the nation's capital, no space devoted to international news or opinion, no letters to the editor. Under the masthead there is a line which reads, "Missis sippi's Greatest Newspaper." - O.S. ipi l ll J I 'JWSs&:W&'' 1UXURT LOOK Handsome cotton knit looks files fine tweed in blotuon dress by Stephanie) Koret.

That's the idea of Cyril Magnin, owner of 15 women's apparel stores on the West coast. Magnin told the Los Ange les Fashion Group that it's time American designers, pro ducers and retailers got a new objective: " Dressing American women to please America, not Paris. "I have no quarrel with the couturiers of France, Italy and Spain," said Magnin. "Their mission is the inspira tion they give. But the Amer ican fashion industry should quit copying Europe. "The practice is ruining our crea tiveness. "Why did the sack receive such criticism in this coun try? Because it was not kept in its proper perspective," Magnin said. "It was shown to the exclusion of everything else. Our industry lost at least 20 per cent of the dress sales it would have had without the sack." "We must face facts," he added. "The woman of Amer ica is not a twin of the woman in France. We have only to review the short life of the sack to realize the truth of this conclusion."

FREE Beautiful EYE DUO SET with any Jaquer Purchase Problems of Japanese Housewife Same as U.S. (Editor's note: An unusual close- up ol how a Japanese housewife in the middle-income bracket runs her household is provided in the roiiowinr. dispatch By upi wom en's Editor Gay Pauley, currenUy on a visit to the Far East.) By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor Tokyo -UPD- The method of keeping house differs but the problems of keeping the budg et is the same for ..the home maker here as in the United States making income bal ance outgo. ; I was a guest for tea in the home" of Mrs. Takeshi Naka gana, whose husband is an executive of the Meiji Confec tioners-crackers, candy, gum, etc., but whose income com pares pretty, closely with that of our "middle-income group in the United States. ' Mrs. Nakagana, who has three grown children, all single, consented to have her husband's income and the family spending habits dis- cussed, although most Japa-1 nese households consider these things their own busi ness. Period. - Her husband earns between 80,000 and 100,000 ' yen a month, or about $225 to $275. Out of this came food, cloth ing, utilities, upkeep of one Japanese-make car, and cost of sending the two youngest children a son, Hironobu, 20, and a daughter, Kikuke, 18, to Hasei university. The older daughter, Kayoke, 22, already is through college and work ing as a stewardess for Japan Air Lines. Does Kayoke contribute to the family budget? "Not a cent," said Mrs. Nakagana, But the small, plump woman said it with great good humor, and added: "She says she is saving for a fancy trousseau." Own Their Home Mrs. Nakagana knows only a few words of English. I'm in the same boat with Japanese, so her bi-lingual daughter translated for us. The Nakagana family own its own home, a modest six room house set in a small, enclosed garden on the out skirts of Tokyo. It has kitch en, living room and dining room combination, three bed rooms and one bath. The furnishings were Western-style to the extent that the living area had sofa and chairs, the dining area was equipped with table and chairs comparable to sets of stainless steel or aluminum In the states; the kitchen had a refrigerator, electric iron, gas range, washing machine, and sink with cold water tap only. Most Japanese homes are without running hot water. But typically Japanese was the open, airy look of the house no standard type doors, but instead a scrim like fabric separating kitchen from dining area, bedrooms from living area. Bathing Procedure Described It was explained to me that only one bath was needed, be cause Japanese style bathing is different from Western. Japanese don't use soap in the tub; they soap the body, and rinse before entering the bath. The head of the house has first priority on the tub, then the wife, then the oldest child, and so on down, all using the same water. The bath water is changed daily. Grocery shopping is a mat ter of American-s t y 1 e : "to getherness." She and her hus band make a weekly trip downtown to a supermarket for most of the supplies. The monthly food bill aver ages 10,000 yen per person (about $28), "including rice." Electricity averages 3,000 yen a month, gas, 4,000; water, 250, because the Nakaganas have their own well, plus the city supply, the telephone 3,000. The only installment plan buying was the family car, she said. - "But, she laughed, "there never seems to be a surplus We always are in the red." Lady Lions Plan Fall Activities Plans for fall activities were made by the Medford' Lady Lions at their October meeting held Wednesday, October 8. Dolls are being distributed to be dressed for the Christ mas toy project held annually in conjunction with the Med for Fire department.
