What kind of a girl is she? What has been her family and edu cational background? In the following dispatch, United Press International gives you a brief life story of the girl soon to become a member of one of the richest families in America.) Kristiansand, Norway-(DP&- Pretty Anne Marie Rasmussen faces a lot of problems Cin derella never dreamed of when, on August 22, she be comes a Rockefeller. She already has had a taste of one problem - the publicity that accompanied her romance with Steven Rockefeller, and, by her own admission, she was "scared stiff." More prob lems are on the way when Anne Marie leaves her home in the quiet town of Sogne to set up housekeeping in a New York apartment. But friends will tell you she is" a stable, well adjusted girl, with old-fashioned - though by no means outdated values, and she is quite ready to take on the challenge. Anne Marie was born 21 years ago on the island of Boroeya outside Tvedestrand, where her father had a house hold goods store. She moved to Sogne, on the southern tip of Norway, after World War H. Anne Marie loves good music and art. "You can keep your rock and roll as far as I -am con cerned," she says. "When I dance, it is in the old fash ioned way." Some reports would have it that Anne Marie grew up in an overly strict, Lutheran home, dimming her capacity for a good time. But Anne Marie denies this. "I like to have fun and I think I am a natural Norwegian girl," she says. She has the sparkling blue eyes and blonde hair to prove her point. Anne Marie Has had com paratively little formal edu cation. She attended a rural elementary school for seven years. In 1956 she went to New York to' study English, spending two years at a sup plementary school. Her quest for work to pay for her studies took her into the Rockefeller home as a maid. There she harl her first introduction to Steven. She also worked in a department store and an insurance com pany, returning home last April. "She did not know mucn, But she took special lessons each night and was ratner good at her studies." . Anne Marie realizes mat drastic changes face ner m marriage to a Rockefeller, but she doesn't intend to let her new life affect her sense of values of her appreciation of where she got them. "Whatever happens and whatever my station in me will be, I will never forget the heritage I bring with me from my father and mother," she said. -4 Dessert for Dialers Whipped exaporated milk is tne aieting aessert-iover s best friend.

Kristiansand, Norway -flJPD-Steven Rockefeller expects his "whole family" to attend his August 22 wedding to pretty Anne Marie Rasmussen. the Rockefellers' former maid. That included the prospec tive father-in-law, New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller, who said he and his wife were "de lighted" with the match. The governor, who is attending a governors' conference in San Juan, Puerto Rico, smilingly told a news conference he soon might be making a non-political trip to Scandinavia. In announcing their engage ment, Steven, 23, and Anne Marie, 21, said they planned to be married in the rustic, wooden church in Miss Ras- mussens nearby hometown of Sogne, take a brief honey moon, and then set up house keeping in a New York apart ment. Steven said Sunday he ex pects the whole Rockefeller family to be on hand, for his wedding if it is at all possible. Steven said that after the marriage and honeymoon he plans to go into "the family business" which gave Lim a rather wide choice of job pos sibilities. Although Anne Marie once worked as a maid in the Rockefeller home while visit ing the United States to learn English, her marriage to a Rockefeller did not exactly de pict a rags-to-riches romance. Her father, now retired, was a well-to-do grocer in Sogne. However, the marriage does mean a drastic change for blonde-haired, blue-eyed Anne Marie. It will take her from Norway to the United States, and from one of the world's smaller communities to its largest. Anne Marie said she is aware that her life will be changed when she marries Steven, but she added, "what ever happens and whatever my station in life will be, I will never forget the heritage I bring with me from my father and mother." The couple said they would start off simply, they will have no maid and "Anne Marie shall do all the house work and cooking herself." Anne Marie, a quiet girl, with little formal education, comes from a religious, Luth eran family. But she describ ed herself as a "natural Nor wegian girl, and I like to have fun." The couple announced their engagement at a press con ference at the Ernst Hotel in Kristiansand then e a r e s t large city to Sogne to put an end to days of intense speculation about the ro mance.

Chain Store Ordering Paris Styles By PAT HERMAN United Press International Paris - (CFD - Fall fashions introduced by the big Paris designers last week will be available on department store racks for $8.95 and up within six weeks, an American buy er said today. Rita Perna, fashion coor dinator for a big U. S. mail order-department store chain, Montgomery Ward, said the new Paris styles will be mass produced as quickly as they are custom - copied for $100 and up. In both cases, the dresses will be available about mid September. The buying team headed by Miss Perna has just shopped the world's fanciest dress shows for American women who can afford neither trips to Paris nor Paris originals. Most American department store buyers, who have just sized up the Paris fall and winter collections, will take home originals costing $600 and up to be copied line for line. This means that the Ameri can woman will have by mid September a fairly faithful adaptation of the originals which will be shipped from Paris at the end of August. The prices of these line for line adaptations run into hun dreds of dollars by the time they appear in the better dress departments, of retail stores. My mid - September, Miss Perna said, retail stores will Paris coats for less than $100, suits for less than $50 and dresses starting at $8.95. "We don't like line for line copies, because at the start a line is exaggerated," said Miss Perna, explaining that exact copying was something that her outfit left to the higher prices stores.

V LUCAS & iM Furniture Highway 99 Central New Color Can Cool Kitchen United Press International Chicago -(UPD- A new color scheme can make the kitchen seem degrees cooler on hot summer days. Only about S10 worth of paint is needed to cover the average room. Use an odor less semi-gloss or gloss paint. This kind dries quickly, will not interfere with cooking when first applied, and will retain its fresh look after countless washings. Before painting, wash dirt and grease from the walls and woodwork. Remove loose or cracked paint with a wire brush or sandpaper, and sand down any glossy surfaces so the new coat will adhere bet ter. Experts agree that the cool est colors include most shades of green, turquoise, light blue, gray -blue and green- blue. If warm colors are es sential to your happiness, add them by means of the cur tains or as accents in the form of plates, pictures or bric-a-brac. Good Colors These are suggested as pleasant combinations for a cool kitchen: -Ice-blue walls; chartreuse floor; medium-blue counters; white or blue cabinets; char treuse curtains; orange ac cents. -Sea - green walls; deep green floor; champagne counters and cabinets; deep green, yellow and white cur tains; raspberry red accents. -Pale turquoise walls; deep turquoise floor; natural wood or ivory cabinets; pale melon counters; melon and ivory curtains. -Soft green walls; medium green, yellow and white spat ter floor; soft green cabinets; deep blue counters; green, blue and yellow curtains; yellow accents. Float a bit of grated orange or lemon rind on top of soups. Point Decorator Says More Trouble By MARY PRIME United Press International New Yor:-, Aug. 2 - (UPD -When it comes to decorating a home, the average Ameri can woman is fussier than kings and diplomats. Just ask Frel Gerstel, an interior decorator who once counted among his clients eight royal families of Eu rope and the Middle East, two Czechoslovakian preside n t s, and 56 foreign embassies in Prague. Gerstel owned the largest frnifure factory in Europe and deigned for the cream of international soci ety until he was forced to flee Czechoslovakia in 1939. How did Gerstel find his blue-blooded clients to deal with? , "Easier, much easier," he said in an interview in his New York office. He general ly was given a frc hand when decorating embassies and palaces. For example, he was com missioned to re-model the Japanese embassy. His price was high, but the Japanese ambassador sent a check without looking at one sketch or color scheme or consulting his wife. "Then nobody asked a price or had a budget. But I have learned since to work on budgets very carefully," Gerstel laughed. In dealing ,with royalty the decorator was not faced with a lot of do's and don'ts. There was onlv one rule: Everything he purchased or designed had to be beauti ful for 200 years. A castle or palace meaat as much to kings and queens as a home to commoners, and they wanted personal touches, he said. But no queen considered re-decorating a traumatic experience. The accepted decor was usually 18th century French. If new carpets or draperies were needed, Gerstel was asked to get the same pat tern because the clients were "happy", with them. But American women want a complete change e.jry time pen Tonight! SHOP TILL 9 Phones NO 4 - Americans than Royalty they re-decoute. Tastes varied from simple to luxurious. Gerstel recalled doing a red damask recep tion room for King Alexander of Yugoslavia and oriental bedrooms and modern bathi for the King of Albania. The Albanian queen had been In the United States, and want ed an indoor swimming pool and a room furnished aj an American bar. Unfortunately, the royal Albanians were forced to abandon their palace to the Italians, so the job never was completed and Gerstel never received payment. Kings are delightful cus tomers, but it's difficult to get paid," the decorator said. They felt hey were doing us an honor. They had no business - -nse." Gerstel's most expensive job was a $3-million bani (now the equivalent of $12 million, he said). It looked like a palace and contained a staircase modeled after one in Chesterfield House, then owned by British Princess Mary. Lord C" esterfield had purchased the staircase in 1760. The bank also had panelings which took 68 woodcarvers five years to complete. A hearty man who has been in business since 1919, Ger stel is divorced and has three sons and one grandchild. After fleeing his country, he came to the United States with "no money, but my business in my head." In 1944 he opened his own office. To day he does interiors for com mercial firms and institutions and is chief consultant on interiors for a firm doing mis sile research. . & In Zzechoslovakia Gerstel' lived in a castle with 19 serv ants. "It was fun sitting on the right hand of queens, but it doesn't do me any good to be nostalgic about that life in a castle," he said. "I was sit ting on a lonely island. I had no friends. Here in my office we are all friends, we have our sandwich together 1226 NO 4-1227
