Last nient, lot in stance, he remarked casually, "Martha, Fm hungry for that good summer salad you make you know, the gelatin one with the raw vegetables in it. It's so refreshing. I always hanker for at when hot weather comes." Who could resist? So morning while K was stiM eooU I mixed up the salad and pot it into the refrigerator to set.

Yves St. Laurent, the head designed since Uior's death, has kept waistlines and bust lines natural. Shoulders are slightly wider and rounded, but not exaggerated or pad ded. Not even the hemline is too long or too short. It hit Wz incheS longer than last fall, giving a balanced, grace ful look to the figure. Suit jackets in many lengths were shown today at the preview of the Dior-New York collection, one of 60 col lections shown this week by the New York Couture group, The trend was to longer jackets were double-breasted Skirts were mostly slim 'and unpleated. Necklines of both suits and coats included the collarless type. Fur ascots were tucked in these necklines. Coats ranged from loose for wearing over suits to slim Some had half-belts at the back, and were either single or double-breasted. A narrow inset of fabric defined the natural waist of dresses, giving the dress a fitted look without a belt. Sev eral such dresses with one- inch insets had wide, crushed leather belts, some almost commerbund width. Newest sleeve treatment is the "shirt sleeve" - which looks like a French cuff of a shirt but comes above the wrist, or bracelet length. It was used on coats and suits. Some late day and cocktail dresses had the belled skirt of the old "new look," even to petticoats underneath. Sev eral had gay little jackets. St. Laurent called the sil houette the "willow"-which emphasizes "suppleness of line and freedom of motion, never cluttered with superfluous de tail." Ball gowns had a floating movement attributed to the "willow look," and also in cluded portrait gowns. .Here are highlights of other collections: Jane Derby - this designer showed a variety of silhou ettes: sheath, shirtwaist, Dutch boy. Suits, cocktail dresses, and evening gowns had detachable skirts. Cum merbunds, lace, and rhine stone nail heads were import ant. One black velvet, full length gown had chinchilla sleeves. . Another gown, in lilac, was studded with rhmestones and came with a matching wool coat, lined with rhinestones. Brocades and lames turned up in evening costumes. One slim, angle-length gown was made of gold and topaz silk damask lame, belted and teamed with a caramel silk satin stole. Ben Gershel - This collec tion,1 designed by Robert Knox, featured fitted suits with pleated or eased-out skirts, man-tailored jackets cut straight - and narrow to the hip, and . dressed-up polo coats.

Donald Brooks-Silhouettes ranged from military cardi gan coats to dress with spiral draped bodices and full-circle skirts. Fabric snoods matched some daytime outfits. In the military line were wool twills and bib-fronts stolen from the "boiled shirt" of an army of ficer's uniform.

Basic-Witz Furniture Industries, Ine Miss Truman 'Settled Down' But Not Yet 'Settled Back' By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor "New York (DPD Margaret Truman says she has "settled down but not settled back." The daugh ter of the for mer President Harry Tru man sat down to . bring her self up to date for this re porter,six weeks after the birth of Gay Pauley her second son, William Wallace.

Said she "If he's going to look like his father or brother, you can't tell it yet. He's mostly red and wrinkled." The children will be brought up on the same principle of discipline with which Bess and Harry Truman reared Margaret. "I definitely believe in spanking, if a child disobeys," she said. "When I was a child, it was mother who did the spanking. She kept a hair brush handy. All daddy had to do was look." Miss Truman said she and her husband hope to keep their boys out of the limelight as' much as possible. She doesn't even carry pictures of them in her purse.

Administration Checking Packaged Food for Weight By LOUIS CASSELS United Press International Washington-(UPD-In the good old days, a housewife could keep a beady eye on the scales while the grocer weighed her purchase. Today nearly all foods come in tidy containers, "pre packed" at distant factories. The weight of the contents is printed on the label, and the housewife has to take the manu facturer's word for it. How good is that word? This question has .been bothering the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the Federal agency, which sees that consumers get what they pay for in food stores. Some months ago, it ordered field offices across the country to examine typical batches of food products from supermar ket shelves for possible short weighing. First results of this survey are now in. Tne iUA. nnas them "disturbing.". House wives may, too. . In one district, where 206 lots of various foods were checked, FDA inspectors found 39 lots were short weight. That is 19 per cent, or nearly, one out of- five. Most shortages were rela tively small-one or two per cent less than the' proclaimed weight. In some cases, pack ages were as much as 25 per cent under weight.? - Of 35 different types of food checked, the most con sistently underweight were coffee, ground spices, flour, meals and mixes. These figures come from one FDA district. Results from other districts still are being computed, but prelim inary indications are that they conform to the general pattern. One product on which a complete nationwide survey has been made is flour. ' Of 94 different lots of flour, 19 were slightly short weight. The FDA does not believe food manufacturers are en gaged in a wholesale conspir acy to defraud consumers. It does believe many packers are "playing it safe" at the consumer's expense. John L. Harvey, assistant FDA commissioner,' explained that the food industry is under "fierce competitive pressure to work as close to the declared weight as pos sible." Most food products today are packed and distributed in tremendous quantities, h e said: If a package contains even a slightly greater quan tity than is declared on the label, "the resulting economic loss to the producer, when multiplied by the ' astronomi cal figures of modern mass Ifs Of Nationally Knwon Women's U e DeLISO DEBS e AMANO'S e HEY DAYS e TOWN & COUNTRY e PALIZZIO e JOYCE e COBBLERS e KIMELS FOOTFLAIRS e GEPPETO e EDITH HENRY'S Hundreds of Pairs Ta Choose : From production, becomes a truly substantial sum of money." But this fact works both ways, he pointed out. "If each package contains slightly, less than the declared amount, consumers stand to have a substantial sum taken from them wrongfully." Because short weights are. usually UyO small to be de tected reliably on home scales,-, the individual con sumer cannot do much to remedy the situation. But the FDA has alerted its field weights and measures offic ials to step up enforcement of accurate weight regulations. By law, FDA can seize any product in interstate com merce that is found to be mis- labeled in any regard, includ ing weight or volume of con tents.
