clared, testing an imaginary
piece of cloth between his fin
gers. 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.

Quit Copying
Cyril Magnin
Tell Designers
Hollywood -(UPD-Let's sack
Paris! 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."

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."
