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.

When she decided to use
the giraffe as her trademark,
she received an irate letter
from one customer. "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."

Children's Eyes
Chicago - (LTD - Christmas
toys are becoming more dan
gerous to children's eyes than
Fourth of July fireworks, an
ye expert has warned par
ents. 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.
