' The Finest In China Half-Dozen Spring Outfits In Making for First Lady , By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York-fliPD-Mrs. Dwight Eisenhower has a good head start on her spring and sum mer wardrobe, with six or seven outfits in the making including one labeled top se cret. ' This I gathered from a visit with Mollie Parnis, who has been making clothes for Mrs. Eisenhower since the days when her husband was head of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization forces. The designer said the first lady has purchased six or sev en new costumes "Like many busy women, she likes to get several things at once and get her shopping out of the way," she said. And, the designer added, Mrs. Ike selected her Easter costume before she left Wash ington for her second visit to that Arizona beauty and re conditioning resort. This will be a dress-jacket costume, she said, but would not give details on fabric and silhouette. "After all," she said, "it's better to keep a special outfit secret until it's worn." Consistent In Tastes Miss Parnis said the first lady is a woman consistent in her tastes most of the new costumes are with the full skirt and fitted waistline fash ion writers call "a Mamie type." ' "I have never known a woman so sure of what she wants," said the attractive and tiny designer. "I don't think of her as a fashion plate, although she's always chic. She knows what colors, and what collars, are good for her. She likes all shades of mauve and blue, loves prints especially black and white and always has one good basic black dress in her wardrobe. "We've had her dressmaker dummy around here since 1952 . . . there's been very little figure change. She's a size 12 with an alteration here and there . . . and what wom an doesn't need some fit tings? No Change In Figure "I think what a woman gets at Maine Chance the resort which Mrs. Eisenhower is vis iting for the second time, is not so much a change in fig ure as a change in the way she feels. I know ... I was there last year. "Five pounds off won't make any difference in meas urements anyway." Mrs. Ike did her shopping the easy way.

Other women don't get such service the designer sells wholesale and other Parnis customers buy through' retail stores. "But after all," said the de signer, "she is the first lady." - "And in case anyone asks," said Miss Parnis firmly, "Mrs. Eisenhower pays the full price for the clothes, plus the cost of any alteration. The designer showed me the costumes Mrs. Eisenhower selected, although she ex plained, "some of these will be made up in other fabrics and colors from what you re seeing. I'd just as soon not risk another duplication." . Two Of A Kind She laughingly recalled the incident at a White House re ception a few years ago when both Mrs. Eisenhower and one of the guests appeared in the same dress a blue -green printed silk, shirtwaist style. Her new costumes include: ' A polka dot printed silk, for afternoon wear. It has cummerbund waistline, and an airy but not daring, neck line. The skirt is full and gathered; i A black, short-sleeved sheer cotton, in subtle, window-pane check; again, a full skirt, with impressed pleats; A dressy, black silk chiffon, with the skirt falling in soft folds. The fitted bodice is tucked over a black taffeta slip; and a dress and jacket costume in black and white printed barboo silk. The jack et, with three-quarter length sleeves, is closed with two gi ant white buttons.
