MAIL TRIBUNE, Medforrf, Oregon, Monday, Novemker 10, 1938 Return of Jean Harlovy Look Forecast by Costume Expert By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York (TPD Mrs. Vida Thomas, whose career is in fashions of the past, took a look today at fashions of the future. Her prediction: Re vival of the Jean Harlow dress. "You know. Bias-cut and sexy," said Mrs. Thomas, co ordinator for the women's de partment at Brooks Costume Co., the nation's largest theatrical oumtteri "The beginnings of cling were there in this fall's em pire," she said. "And we're doing a lot of sireny things for television and Broadway musicals this winter. Girls are stepping into more revealing clothes." Mrs. Thomas speaks from Open House Announced At Lincoln Lincoln Parent-Teacher as sociation will hold the annual open house at the school No vember 12, Wednesday, from 7:30 to 8 p.m. followed by a business meeting in the gym' nasium at 8:15 p.m. Purpose of the open house is to familiarize the parents with the operation of a class room and the type of class room work the pupils do. It is stressed that this it not a conference for the parents to discuss the problems of indi vidual children with the teachers. However, it provides an opportunity to set a time for such discussion. Parents are asked to visit the classrooms where the teacher will be prepared to brief them on teaching meth ods. The program for the PTA meeting will consist of dem onstrations on audio-visual aids by Oliver Erickson and Miss Cingcade. Mothers of children in the fourth grade . will serve re freshments, and baby sitting will be provided. Transporta tion will be available and those in need of this service are asked to call Mrs. S. J.

A na tive of Little Falls, N.Y., she has been with Brooks for 20 years, working with costumes "all the way back to Eve." "No kidding," said the viva cious, brown-h aired Mrs. Thomas. "We've outfitted sev eral Eves. But we gave them more than just a fig leaf. Usually a flesh-colored leo tard." "It seems to me there is little new in fashion," she said. "We were getting to gether costumes for 'Wonder ful Town' and I thought some of those late Twenties and early Thirties costumes look ed disturbingly familiar. "They were. Much the same as the chemise dresses I'd seen in shop windows last spring. Now I'm thinking of putting the two sacks I own into Brooks stock." They Rent Everything Mrs. Thomas' job for "Won derful Town," a television version of a Broadway hit which CBS will carry Novem ber 30, was to assemble cos tumes for all feminine mem bers of the cast except its star, Rosalind Russell. Hollywood's Orry-Kelly came to New York to design Miss Russell's clothes, which Brooks will make. When I interviewed Mrs. Thomas, I put my coat and scarf across a large cardboard box, filled with a mass of costumes not yet rehung from Halloween party rentals. Turning around, I saw both being whisked efficiently away. "Don't let it worry you," said Mrs. Thomas, retrieving my property. "We had a plumber in here the other day on a repair job; when he was ready to go, he couldn't find his cap and jacket." "We'd rented them."

Shedding is Natural Champaign, 111.- OJPD- There is no need to be alarmed if a new carpet "fluffs" or "sheds," advises University of Illinois home furnishings spe cialist Dorothy Iwig. The fluff that comes to the suf face of new carpets is loose pile left by the manufacturing process. It doesn't mean the carpet is coming apart. Just vacuum the carpet until the fluff disappears. If the carpet appears to be "sprouting," just snip off the high tufts so they are even with the other tufts, Miss Iwig advised. Don't pull them out. Place plastic-coated paper plates upside down over a skillet when frying food to keep grease from splattering.

Maria Meneghini Callas came back to her old home town Sun day night and remarked, al most wistfully: 1 wish we could have art in New York." But her firing from New York's Metropolitan Opera appeared to have spurred the dramatic" soprano to patch up some of the old feuds that have kept her off other op eratic stages. : She said before leaving Dal las Sunday that she may con fer here with Carol Fox, gen eral manager of Chicago's Ly ric Opera, with which she broke several years ago. I can even go back to Mi lan," she said of the possibil ities in ner me. mere was a day when Miss Callas said she'd never return to Milan's La Scala opera, but that was last summer. The tempestuous singer was obviously miffed at the Met's general manager, Rudolf Bing who fired her last week in a contract dispute. She said Bing was jealous of other op era companies and implied he hadn't even been a gentle man when he gave her the boot. But New York's artistic aridity, obviously, was some thing she felt 'for its present residents, not for herself. Her firing, said Miss Callas opens broad new vistas. "I am free to consider many other offers concerts, even television," she said. "They are yelping with joy that am iree in fans, t ranee is dying for me, and I've had an offer from England, too." Particularly provoked at Bing's statement that he was "grateful," to be rid of her histrionics, eyen though she is one of the world's great artists. "I am willing to forget be ing fired," Miss Callas said, "But I don't think any gentle man should insult any artist I won't even say woman, they keep forgetting I'm a wo man." 4 Spe cial Clothes For Handicapped Is Work Project Washington -(DPI) Agricul ture Department clothing spe cialists are hard at work de signing clothes to make kitch en work easier for handicap' ped housewives. Their work is based on rec ommenaations , from women who have to peel potatoes and do dishes in spite of arthritis. multiple sclerosis and other crippling disease or accidents. One of the major complaints are too -snug dress and blouse sleeves, that give 'way with a reach for a shelf or stove. . Another complaint is pretty but not practical aprons. Clarice Scott, the clothing soecialist heading the team of three on the project, reported that wheel-chair cookers are more in need of sturdy and practical aprons than the nor mal housewife. For example, she said, many women have to clean vegetables or mix batters on their laps. Others need lots of pocket space to carry uten cils or towels with them to save steps and motion. Miss Scott gathered the rec ommendations from about 70 handicapped hosekeepers who answered questionnaires dur ing personal interviews begun about two years ago. Two aides now are drawing up designs based on the home makers' answers. The designs later will be turned into -sample clothes which will be worn by a selective group of women. A government publi cation will have pictures and a report on the tests. If you are a club chairman, you will be interested 'to know that the Jackson Coun ty library has books that can make your job a lot easier. Stop at the library and look over the material on the vari ous aspects of club operation.
