2 MAIL TRIBUNE, MedforJ, Oregon, Monday, January 3, 1959 New York Dress Institute Sets Up New By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York (CPU Eight prominent women including Queen Elizabeth II and the Duchess of Windsor, were promoted today to a perman ent "hall of fame as clothes horses. For the first time, the couture group of the New York Dress Institute which compiles the annual best dressed list, established the new category. It is in addition to the yearly list, which began in 1940 with 10 names and since has grown to at least 12, unless there are ties. Once voted to the hall of fame pinnacle of chic, a wom an is "above annual compari son, said the institute. Pre sumably she then can wear a gunnysack and still hang onto the best-dressed label. Neither Mrs. Dwight D. El senhower, often a runner-up but never a winner, nor the Princess Grace of Monaco, who hit paydirt twice, made either the current annual list for 1958 or the hall of fame. Two young socialites-one a tall, willowy blonde, the other a small brunette-tied for top spot in the 1958 list. There also was a tie for seventh place. Ti for Top Spot Top billing went to Mrs. Winston Guest, a sportswoman and the tall blonde, and Ital ian Countess Rodolfo Crespi, the former Consuelo O'Con- Monotone Room Good Investment Says Designer By MARGUERITE DAVIS United Press International Chicago -UPD- A monotone room is as wise an investment as "a good black dress," says decorator Rose Marie Pruse. She practices the theory in her own work room, and the effect is pleasing and practi cal. Miss Pruse (of Peter Schnei der's Sons and company), chose champagneas her basic color. Pale beige tones are re peated in the painted walls, silk-covered sofas and chairs and In slightly deeper shades in the travertine and pearlate marble-topped coffee tables. The floor is covered with champagne - colored rubber tile, and the color is repeated in parchment lamps. Lamp shades and ceiling are white. The work room has no win dows, but Miss" Pruse recom mends champagne fortisan, an improved rayon fiber resist ant to weather for draperies. The delicate color is not im practical, she said. Silk and fortisan can be treated with a stain repeller (Scotchgard) which has proved successful in keeping textured and sat iny fabrics fresh. Accessories provide the eol lor, which Miss Pruse changes very six months. These days she is using purple. Violets in white vases and dear glass jars brighten the tables on one side of the room and a three-foot high purple bottle- provides a massive spot of color on the other side. Pillows, vases, pictures and containers range in tone from violet to reddish-purple. Miss Pruse, a light brunette with blue eyes, prefers . the champagne shade, but said the same theory can be ap plied to any light color-blue, maize, pink, apple or mint green. Hall of Fame nor, a New York deb and model the little one. Others on the '58 list: -Mrs. Henry Ford II of Grosse Pointe, Mich., and New-York. -Princess Margaret Rose of Great Britain.

Bruce, wife of the U. S. ambassador to West Germany. -Merle Oberon, the actress who is Mme. Bruno Pagliai, living in Mexico. Three Actresses Named In addition to the British monarch and the Baltimore born Duchess, those entering the hall of fame "because of their faultless taste in dress, without ostentation or extrav agance," were: -Mrs. William Paley, wife of the board chairman of CBS. -Countess Edward von Bis marck, whose former hus band, the late Harrison Wil liams, was one of the nation's richest men. -Mme Jacques Balsan, the former Consuelo Vanderbilt and Duchess of Marlborough. -And three actresses, Mary Martin, Irene Dunne and Claudette Colbert. A dress institute spokesman said the hall of fame was de cided on because each year some names "are always there and we thought some of the younger women should have a chance."

Betty Carol, fashion design er. After Pratt Institute she did modeling and fashion il lustration, but designing, al ways the goal, became the reality when she took over at Mam'selle dresses. Under their label she has demon strated exciting combinations of colors and fabrics and a wonderful use of trimmings. In 1958 the name Betty Carol came to the rescue of junior pocketbooks as well as fig ures. Anne Bancroft, actress, trav eled from the Bronx to Broad way via TV and Hollywood. Last January she landed her first Broadway role as . one half the cast of Two for the Seesaw. Although the other half was veteran Henry Fon da, Miss Bancroft, according to one critic, threatened to "take the entire theatre under her arm and go home." An other rhapsodized that "she has the range of a guided mis sile," and all agreed that here here was the most promising new actress of the season. Bainca VanOrden, novelist, began writing at Cambridge university and continued ex perimenting while living and working in Florence. Critics called her two long short stor ies - published first in Eng land - witty, original and promising. This year, fulfill ing that promise with "a tech nical maturity nothing short of phenomenal for a first nov el, she leaps to command of her world, her era and her medium" in Water Music. Rosalind Elias, singer. After the New England Conserva tory, Tanglewood scholarships and a few minor roles, she found herself last January a prima donna overnight. Bar ber and Menotti, collaborators on the new opera Vanessa, changed the pivotal role of Erika to mezzo so that Elias might sing at the world pre miere. They were rewarded when critics agreed that she "stole the show." Miss Elias went on last summer to repeat her triumph at Salzburg, is now swamped with invita tions from leading opera hous es of the world. Marcia Rogers, city plan ner.
