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

Others on the '58 list:

-Merle Oberon, the actress

Three Actresses Named
In addition to the British
monarch and the Baltimore

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

-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."

school board she stood up to
angry segregationists and pre
sented the polled results. "We
salute her," Mrs. Blackwell
said, "for her fearlessness, her
insistence on thinking for her
self and then forthrightly act
ing on the truth as she saw
it."
The achievements of the
other Young Women of the
Year range from outstanding
performances in the theatre
and ballet to atomic science
and city planning. All are cit
ed in the January Mademois
elle for "reaffirming our faith
in the lives, the work and the
potentialities of young wom
en everywhere." They are:
Pat Farrar, TV producer.
Graduated cum laude from
Bryn Mawr five years ago,
she started as a production as
sistant at WRCA-TV, NBC's
New York station, and now
manages its public affairs pro
grams. She also produces two
educational shows: Aqui Se
Habla Ingles teaches English
to 100,000 Spanish-speaking
New Yorkers, and Dr. Joyce
Brothers offers counsel on
women's problems. Under her
brilliant guidance both shows
are proving that TV can be a
dynamic, effective instrument
for the public good.
Jane Addams, cultural ex
change. After a B.A. from
Wellesley she did graduate
work in American Civiliza
tion and International Rela
tions before her job with the
Institute of International Ed
ucation. In 1958, as specialist
in charge of their Polish Ex
change program, she traveled
to Poland to help select Polish
students for study in the U.S.

cultural exchange never so;
imperative as now, Jane prov
es her own words: "An in-!
crease in u n d e rstanding
brings an increase in respect,
in dignity, in creative think
ing and action."
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. With a degree in archi
tecture from Carnegie Tech,
she joined the Pittsburgh Re
gional Planning association,
earned a master's in City
Planning from the U. of Penn-

sylvanla In '57 and then went
to work for Philadelphia's
Zoning Advisory commission.
In 1958. invited to join the
City Planning commission,
she concentrated on various
rehabilitation projects in Phil
adelphia and was primarily
responsible for planning the
redeveloment of the Whitman
area. In twelve months she
has become one of the most
outstanding young women in
her field.
Natalie Carbone Mangini,
atomic scientist. After Seton
Hill she joined Westinghouse
as a chemical engineer and in
1957 became the only woman
employee there ever to hold
the title of scientist. While
continuing her graduate stud
ies part time at Carnegie
Tech, she worked on a reactor
for the atomic generating sta
tion at Shippingport. She co
authored the first procedure
used in atomic subs for dispos
ing of radioactive materials
and was the only woman to
work on the USS Nautilus,
the world's first atomic sub
marine. Violette Verdy, dancer, be
gan studying at ten in her na
tive France and was dancing
leading roles with the Ballets
de Paris at the age of twenty.
Shortly after she made her
American debut she joined
the London Festival Ballet
and performed as guest artist
at La Scala. But 'it was in
1958 that, dancing with the
American Ballet Theatre in
New York, she emerged . .in
Miss Julie as one of the "love
liest and most skillful danc
ers in the ballet world." Now
with the New York City bal
let, she is hailed as an interna
tional ballet star.
