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. .

to add ranges from Va cup to cup, depending upon the
land of fruit being used.
i. First, try adding cup lemon juice, mix welL If texture
and tartness suit you, do not add more lemon juice. If
jellied fruit is not firm enough, then add V cup more
lemon juice; but no fruit will need more than Vx cup
lemon jnice for this basic recipe. ?
S. The fruit will jell immediately when the proper amount
of lemon juice is added and it is then ready for use on
