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

Poinsett ia Plants
Need Little Light
It you were the recipient of
a poinsettia this Christmas,
you may be interested in
knowing how you can enjoy
its beauty for. a longer time.
You can extend the life of
Christmas poinsettias.by keep
ing them away from artificial
light, and out of drafts.
Poinsettias are a short day
length plant. When it gets
dark late in the afternoon, put
the poinsettia in a closet or
in a dark room. This way it
will last for at least two to
three weeks after Christmas
in prime condition.
Keep the plants moderately
moist. Use lukewarm water.
After the flowers fade and the
Colored leaves fall, you can
put the plant in a cellar or any
well-ventilated place where it
can dry out until spring. Dur
ing this dormant period water
the plant about once every
two or tnree weeks.

with emphasis on eye-appeal,

The trade publication "Chi

Oak is making a comeback
for use in Early American and
Country English, the maga

er use will be made of sculp
tured wood form, and of dec

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
