Big Brims Newest Word
For Milady's Spring Hat
Br CAY PAULEY
UPI Woman's Editor
New York-JUTO-This spring
a woman can be in the Easter
Parade and never see it. She
will be hidden
under the
brim of her
new bonnet.
The millinery
creators of
America, a
group of 17
top-rated New
York design-
tA ers, this weeic
Gay Pauley staged their
spring show for buyers from
all parts of the nation.
And to sum up the results,
girls, we're in for a brimful
'59.
The 17 produced mushroom
shapes which concealed the
face from the nose up; shapes
inspired by the pagoda of the
Jar East, copies of Chinese
coolie hats and swagger shapes
with deep crown and down-
turned brim reminiscent of
those Garbo and Dietrich
wore in the 1930's.
Christian Dior's New York'
millinery collection included
one flower-trimmed hat in
spired, the commentator
frankly said, by a waste-
basket.
Head Almost Hidden
But most face concealing
hat in the group came from
designer Irene, whose yellow
horsehair coolie practically hid
the model's head. I still won
der how she felt her way
down the runway.
Not all the hats had down
draft brims. There were doz
ens of bretons, or "Buster

Central Point '-' Mrs. Roy

hostess Saturday night for a

decorated the gift table and
served wim the coffee were
petits fours decorated with
pink and blue candy booties.
Guests were Mrs. J. H.

Brown" types, with brims roll
ed back away from the face;
more dozens of sailors with
brims of varying width, skim
mers worn straight on the
head or pushed back to ex
pose the brow and hairline
and the so-called "profiler,"
with brim slanted at about a
45-degree angle.
Some of the prettiest hats
were in the picture, or cart
wheel, division of the show.
These flatter most faces but,
all told, seem to go best with
the tall, rangy type of woman
instead of the little one.
"I thought we'd see more
small hats . . . they're what
women want," said an Atlan
tic City, N J., store owner
who sat next to me. "If you
were in the retail business
you'd not be so happy with all
these brims." But he added
that, , throughout millinery
showrooms, the small hats
were available for the buyers
seeking them.
Woman Has Choice
Of course, the 17 creators
also gave a woman a choice.
If she didn't want a brim, she
could have a veil. Some of the
veils enveloped the face and
neck, stopping at or below the
shoulder. ,
The flower-trimmed, or all
flower hats were among the
most attractive. One hand
some, wide - brimmed sailor
had a removable floral band
or lei." Some flower num
bers were halos only, with
the flowers hugging the front
hairline and face, but with
the crown of the head ex
posed. Designer Emme came up
with a new treatment for
feathers she dyed them in
bright hues and worked them
into flowers.
The millinery group de
creed bright yellow as the
new "basic" in hat colors for
spring. Most other colors are
equally vivid and include the
blues, pinks, the orange tones
and greens. There was a
sprinkling of whites and sev
eral off-white or parchment
tones.

small plant as a favor.

gardens and flowers by using
proper humus. This may be
accomplished by making a
compost pit, using all garden
clippings, sawdust, manure
and leaves and a commercial
commodity to make the com
post deteriorate.
Prizes were awarded to
Mrs. Reimer Peterson and
Mrs. C. L. Miller.

Housewife Tests
New
Exp
Br ROSE McKEE
Washington - What is it
like to live in "a million dol
lar' experimental house?
"Just fine," reports Mrs.
Betty Verdier, the housewife
who has given it a family
wear test for 10 months. Mrs.
Verdier still marvels at how
much storage space she has,
how easy it is to keep the
house clean and how readily
she can put her hands on
exactly what she wants in
her kitchen cabinets.
Mrs. Verdier, her husband,
Quentin, and their three chil
dren moved into the one-story
redwood house in Kensington,
Md., near Washington, last
March. The house was built
by the National Association
Of Home Builders and 23 co
operating manufacturers to
test new materials and equip
ment. The first of research
houses sponsored by the
NAHB, it is part of an over
all project find wayvto build
better houses for less money.
The Verdiers bought the
house under an agreement
permitting manufacturers
whose materials are being
tested, to make regular inf
spections. The house is known
as "a million dollar" experi
ment because it is estimated
the materials and equipment
in it cost at least that much
to develop. Eventually it is
expected many of the pro
ducts will be placed in
quantity production.
Mrs. Verdier has little
concern for the technical con
struction features of the
house. Her husband, a govern
ment personnel officer, is the
family authority. What in
terests her, naturally, is
whether the innovations make
housekeeping easier.
Work Easier
" Her work is simplified im
mensely by such things as an
experimental plastic coating
on the walls. A whisk of a
damp cloth is all that is need
ed to make them clean. With
children aged three, six and
eight, she appreciates the
finish, which she said is al
most "child-proof."'
Mrs. Verdier enjoys the ad
justable shelves, desks and
cabinets throughout the three
bedroom house. The desk of
Quentin, Jr., can be raised as
he grows in height. The two
girls have the same kind of
adjustable desk-dressing table
in their bedroom.
, The closets along one en
tire side in each bedroom
have louvered floor-to-ceiling
doors which are not only
decorative-but make getting
things in and out easy.
Mrs. Verdier is especially
enthusiastic over a shallow
shelf for canned goods and
other supplies which runs the
length of her kitchen between
more conventional wall cabi
nets and her 'assembly line"
work counter.
Plastic Used
A decorative plastic is used
throughout good part of the
house. A panel of it near the
front door gives the effect of
an entranceway. The plastic
is used also to enclose shelves
for dishes over the table that
divides the kitchen and fam
ily room.
No steps are required to
set the table since .the dishes
are stored directly over it.
The' dish cabinet currently is
History of Piano
Subject of Talk .
Miss Helen Robinson, South
ern Oregon , college faculty
member, spoke at the last
meeting of Rogue Valley chap
ter, Oregon Music- Teachers'
association. The meeting was
held at the home of Mrs.
Rawles Moore, 2520 Lyman
avenue.
Miss Robinson's topic was
the piano and its history.
Two pupils of Mrs. Moore,
Tacy Blackstone and Martha
Bullard, each played a- piano
solo and then the two played
a duo-piano number.
Mrs. Charlotte Hannan,
Ashland, was welcomed as a
new member.
Any qualified music teacher
who wishes to become a mem
ber of the group is asked to
call Mrs. Shirley Hercher,

Margaret can put
away the cups, saucers, and
plates after they have gone
through the near-by dishwash
er under a kitchen counter.
A refrigerator and freezer
recessed in a kitchen wall is
another arrangement getting
an A-plus from Mrs. Verdier.
A' dual . wall oven, with a
separate "drawer" for pies,
cakes and cookies, rates high.
The curved range fits into a
corner to- complete an un
broken line of work space.
Mrs. .Verdier. considers the
house ideal for a family with
small children and she hopes
that soon more families will
be getting the 'benefits of the
"pioneer" materials and
equipment to which she is
giving a trial run.
