2 MAIL TRIBUNE, Metlfortf, Oregon, Friday, Dteambar 26, 1MB Zipper To Be By 'Cocklebur' By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York-CPB-First it was the thorn. Then came the but ton, the safety pin and the zipper. Now, it is the cockle bu closure which is helping hold us together. Some apparel manufactur ers refer to this latest gadget for simplification of dressing as the "zipperless zipper". Its American maker calls it Vel cro, the man-made cocklebur of nylon. Designer Pauline Trigere first called the closure to my attention. She used it on leo pard skin belts, adjustable to any waistline because no buckle was necessary. Put the belt together at any point and it stayed put. Swiii Invention But today, it's spreading throughout the clothing indus try and soon will be holding baby's diaper on. It fastens men's trousers, ladies' rain coats, sports jackets, chil dren's clothes, skirts, belts, and has potential use to put together everything from brief cases to slip covers. Donald C. Webster, vice president in charge of the New York office for the firm, Which has headquarters in Manchester, N.H., said the fastener is the brain child of a Swiss inventor Georges de Mestral. Mestral, on a hike, started wondering why cockleburs cling so tenacious ly to clothing. Seven years ago he made the first "bur" but it wasn't until five months ago that the first patented closure was available in the United States. Now, the firm is marketing 123,000 yards a week, expects Its sales to double by summer, reports that 95 apparel manu facturers will use it in their spring lines and hopes within a few months to have it avail able for the home seamstress. How It Works ' The firm is "as entangled with cockleburs as a spaniel's ears", quipped the DuPont company's employee maga zine. ' ' ' ' Here's how the closing works: One nylon fabric strip has bristles of filament packed 800 to 600 per square inch, each tipped with microscopic hooks. The matching strip is covered with soft loops of yarn. Press - them together and they cling. Pull apart and they, sepa rate easily as the spring hooks BUY NOW!

' v Trend Toward Noted in Furnishings By MARGUERITE DAVIS United Press International Chicago - (UPD - Home furn ishings will be a little more elegant in 1959 than this year, with emphasis on eye-appeal, say leaders in the field. The trade publication "Chi cago Market Daily" said that in styling demand will con tinue to grow for Early Amer ican', French and Italian Pro vincial. The 1959 Modern will be more refined in detail, and a notable increase is expected in the number of new suits showing the Oriental influ ence. ' - Oak is making a comeback for use in Early American and Country English, the maga zine's researchers said. Great er use will be made of sculp tured wood form, and of dec orative veneers. High gloss will be replaced by clear finishes which show the grain of the wood. Orange and red fruit wood colors also have lost their charm, the ex perts say, and will be succeed ed by browns in spice and nut tones, beiges, grays and gray- browns.. ' : The faded antique look will be used more often on Early American and Country Eng lish pieces. For French and Italian provincials, there is a growing trend toward the use of painted finishes which show the actual brush mark. Space age characters will not replace the old nursery personalities on juvenile furn iture - Peter Rabbit is as good now as when he first discovered Mr. MacGruder's farm the magazine said.
