2 MAIL TRIBUNE, MedferI, Ortgen, Monday, Betsmber IS, 1938 Designer Says "Tree Topper77 Women Wear Clothes Better By GAY PAULEY UPI Women't Editor New York - CPD - Peg New ton, who has built a success ful business looking up to people, says the tall girl is lucky in mat ters of clothes. Oh sure, the tree - topper has the prob 1 e m of fit, with waist lines and J skirts of reg- Gay Pauley ular - cut fash ions never quite long enough. But unless she has an extreme figure problem, the tall girl naturally wears clothes with more flair than her shortie sister, said Miss Newton. "More things look good on her," she said. She pointed out that most models come in the five feet, seven inches and above classification the heights for which Miss New ton designs. "Although," she said, "at the rate the younger genera tions are growing, pretty soon five feet, seven will Jbe just average. Some of my early customers now bring in their daughters; daughter invari ably is a couple of inches tall er than mother." Started in 1940 The designer believes here is the first shop in the world to cater exclusively to the tall set. She established it in 1940, after several years of work ing on a style magazine. "What inspired the bus! ness? My own five feet and "10 inches, that's what," she laughed. "From the time I was 12, 1 towered. Fitting the tall girl is more than just adding inches to a skirt. Clothes have to be proportion ed to the whole body." . Today, Miss Newton has her own workrooms, does an annual business of $125,000, and outfits customers as tall as six feet, three inches. She has 10,000 women on her mailing list and gets 'write-in .orders from the 49 states, and from wives of diplomatic, military and business person nel in Hong Kong, Formosa, &2SJJ. FOR HER . .

"Take me off your mailing list," she wrote. "I do not like being compared to a long-necked, nit-witted critter . . ." Height An Asset The designer - manufactur er said the highest concentra tion of tall girls in this coun try is in the northern Mid west, where Scandinavian and Nordic types have settled. "Today's tall girl uses her height as an asset. She plays it up, instead of trying to look shorter," said Miss New ton. "No more flat hats and flat heels for her. "Her biggest problem seems to be posture ... a tendency to stoop in the shoulders, probably from having to look down on all those people be low. "One -of my customers said she whipped the posture prob lem by following her mother s advice: "Now, hold your shoulders back, and don't lope." Especially becoming to the tall girl are the blouson fash ion's term for any dress or suit with Moused back, the short, almost boxy jacket, the dress or suit with large col lar, and dresses with wide cummerbunds or belts, . she said. "I tell tall girls to choose clothes which are simple and are of good quality," she said. "A little woman can get by with a cheap, fussy dress. A tall one can't. There's just too much of her on display."

Professor Frank W. Newell, of the University of Chicago Department of Surgery, said seemingly innocent toys are causing a . mounting number of eye injuries during the hol iday period. Meanwhile, - fireworks cas ualties have declined because of legal prohibitions or re strictions by nearly all states, he said. Dr. Newell urged parents not to buy arrows, darts or air rifles for their youngsters unles they are prepared to su pervise their use. ' It is seldom the eyes of the child using dangerous toys that are hurt, he said, but us ually the eyes of a playmate or bystander. ' , Newell said figures com piled in Fayetteville, N.C., during Christmas week of 1954 indicated that 24 chil dren required two or more weeks of treatment for eye in juries and seven required re moval of an eye because of injury from toys or games. The most dangerous toys to use, he said, is the pistol that shoots an innocent-appearing, rubber-tipped or suction cup tipped dart by means of a spring. 4 : Thermal springs at Wies baden in West Germany have been famous since the days of the Roman occupation.
