This helps to avoid accidents caused by slippery floors. We don't envy England's Queen Elizabeth one bit. Like most little girls, we loved to play at being a princess or queen, but right now we wouldn't trade places with the queen. A recent dispatch said the queen appeared tired and bemused, although she had read her speech in her customary clear, high voice. Potpourri gets tired, too, particularly at the end of a hot day in the news room. But when evening comes -we can stretch out on the patio couch and look at the stars, eat or drink what we please, putter around with hose and sprinkling can among the flowers. We don't have to be the center of attention at a big banquet or reception or official function, we don't have . to tour . endless manu facturing plants or review troops or preside at the opening of seaways. Imagine having to plan a wardrobe for a tour such as the Queen and Prince Philip are making in Canada. Potpourri read that the plans started months before the trip-even before it was officially announced that the Queen would make the tour. Reports from Chicago said that for her visit to that city the Queen first appeared in a Hardy Ames designed dress of white lace re-embroidered in dark and light brown. She wore white shoes and carried a large white bag. (Pal Peg and Potpourri were intrigued to read in one story that although the Queen always carries a hand bag with the usual feminine necessities in it, she has never been seen to open it in public. A lady-in-waiting is always near by to hand her whatever she may need.) . With the white lace dress, which was made with full skirt, the Queen wore a hat which women observers re-, marked looked similar to the ones which Mid-Western women in the U.S. wear to church socials. In the afternoon the queen changed to a dress designed for her by Norman Hartnell, her favorite designer. This was of beige tussah silk, with a skirt made flat at the back and front but with pleated side panels, and tan buttons and belt. Her shoes were pale beige -and her purse matched. Her hat for this costume was small. We failed to find any description of the gown she wore for a dinner that evening. However, an earlier article had described evening gowns, one of chiffon with a cleverly draped skirt, which was trimmed with garland of artificial roses. Another was embroidered in roses. Women of the royal house of England always wear light-colored clothing -one reason is that the light colors make them "stand out" in a closely packed gathering. It is said that Queen Eliza beth is fond of beige and grey shades, and these are chosen in the paler tones. Pal Peg and Potpourri have also been interested to heat about the clothing which Russian women are modeling for the exhibit in New York this month. One article described a yellow jersey dress on display which would cost, accord ing to the guide, about 400 rubles, or two weeks pay for the average Russian. Yellow leather high-heeled pumps would cost 200 rubles. . A mink coat on display it is said would cost 20,000 rubles. . Another report said that more than 200 styles were brought by the Russians. Unlike what we had read earlier about the Russian's wearing only dark, practical clothing; this report said there - are many pastels and such colors as turquoise, peach and sapphire are shown. About half the dresses are made of synthetic fibers, according to the news stories. One picture was of informal cotton skirts and blouses which looked as if they might have been found in any store in this country.' While a New York reporter . was visiting the rooms where the clothing was being unpacked, one of the models returned after having her hair done in a New York estab lishment. It was shoulder-length, but the New' York salon had brushed it up on top her head and sprayed some silver streaks in it. Her companions and the designers running the show made a great outcry, and she was dispatched back to the salon to have the streaks removed. The models report edly wore foundation makeup, mascara, eyeshadow and powder. One model boasted that "nothing is false, we don't even wear girdles." The models met with great favor from New York men, it is reported and one policeman said "Just send more." - -Comments about the entire Russian exhibit, which includes hundreds of items, were sometimes to the effect that Russians assembled all this fine display just to impress the Americans, and that the clothing, household ware, furni ture and sample houses are not available to many in Russia. This has rather of a tit-for-tat sound, since the Russians are making the same statement about the American exhibit in their country. The model "workers' home" which this country is displaying in Moscow it is said would cost. $13,000 over here. One Russian official promptly remarked that 80 per cent of the workers in America can't afford a $13,000 home. Which set Potpourri to looking around the neighborhood trying to decide whether or not he was right. From Dayton, Ohio, a shopkeeper reported that he checked the contents of the- purse of one of his customers. It contained more than 200 items, including a screwdriver, three perfume bottles, a passport cover holding photos, parts of an old watch band, a penknife and a broken ball point pen. , Wonder what Queen Elizabeth carries in those purses she never opens in public? O.S. . Noted Tenor-Guitarist Added to Festival Events Ashland -. Richard Dyer.- Bennet, noted tenor and gui tarist, will augment the Ore gon Shakespearean Festival's 19th season with a "series of concerts the ' afternoons of August 5, 6 and 7 in Ashland. Currently on his annual American concert tour under the management of S. Hurok, the well-known singer of folk and art songs will celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of his first Manhattan Town Hall recital. In his recital in Ash land Dyer-Bennet, whose art has done much to bring about the present great popularity of folk-songs in this country, will present some of the more than 600 examples of these in his -repertoire. Of particular interest to Festival visitors will be -the song of victory sung by the conquering Eng lish soldiers after the battle of Agincourt, tunes which de lighted Queen Elizabeth and her court, and haunting sea chanteys. Born in England, Dyer-Ben net grew up in Berkeley, Cal ifornia.
