'- Washington MUPtt- Philip Robertson, the latest couturier to add Mrs. Dwight Eisenhower to his list of customers, is a young man handsome enough to steal the spotlight from the elegant gowns he designs. The 33-year-old local designer usually is called on to provide the commentary when his collection goes down the runway, sharing attention with the models. Robertson's "by appoint ment only" costuming in a small salon in the exclusive Georgetown area is becoming increasingly popular with VIP wives. President Eisenhower's daughter-in-law, Mrs. John Ei senhower, visited the salon shortly after it was announced that she .would substitute for Mrs. Eisenhower in accom panying the President on his goodwill tour of Asia and the Middle East before the west ern pre-summit conference. With 19 formal occasions on the agenda, chances are that a number of evening gowns in Barbara Eisenhower's tra vel wardrobe will. bear the Robertson label. What the ladies find In Rob ertson's salon may be a dra-matically-c u t bulky tweed suit, or a simply-draped after noon wool. But more often it is the "after five" numbers that are his specialties. Even his "little black dress" items boast individual touches such as a "nosegay bosom," an "ice cream cone skirt" or a "but terfly back." ' Stoles that detach and pa niers that unsnap for a quick transformation are a trade mark. Eye-Opener. Gown For example, the. designer said one eye-opening moss green chiffon dinner dress "is a dress to make an entrance in and when you're in, you don't know what to do with it." His solution? The flowing panels come off at the shoul der and, presto, a graceful stole to carry, drape or "leave on the table." Robertson also emphasized the feminine line. To a critic who complained that . one gown looked like a maternity dress, the designer replied that he "couldn't think of anything more feminine than a maternity dress." He has a reputation for be ing ahead of the fashion times because he first showed a hob ble skirt two years ago, the empire line back in 1954 when "everybody laughed at me," and the chemise in 1953. A native of Flagstaff, Ariz., Robertson came to Washing ton, 10 years ago after he was graduated from the Maryland Institute of Fine Arts. He has since staged fashion shows in almost every major American city. Writes Book A co-author of a book on "Famous Fashion Ladies," about president's wives, Rob ertson also designed replipas of, 25 ballgowns in the original Smithsonian collection of First Lady's gowns. He first saw Mrs. Eisenhower . when the. collection was modeled at a benefit at nearby Woodlawn Plantation. He designed a patio dress of "Eisenhower toile" for Mrs. Eisenhower and, more recent ly designed a second gown after the first lady and her daughter-in-law paid "a visit to his salon armed with lengths of fabrics. Mrs. Eisenhower's fabric was an emerald green Indian silk sheer, embroidered with large gold and silver medal lions. It became a dinner gown for. White House state parties. Mrs. John Eisenhower brought a gold and white bro cade which was finished as a cocktail sheath with a short jacket. . " It's a cinch that Robertson didn't complete the two Eisen hower numbers in the same length of time it takes him to create and drape a ballgown for a fashion show audience 12 minutes. job's Daughters To Hold Election .

Mrs. John L. Mansfield, 1615 Crater Lake Avenue, was hostess for the group. . Mrs. Swartsley states that the Russians sold Alaska- to the United States 92 years ago, and for the past 40 years Alaska has tried) and hoped to become a state. It has finally succeeded, and their celebra tion consisted of building huge fires, since fire signifies life itself; for part of the year in the North, fire is more es sential than food, she stated. Alaska is about one-fifth as large as the rest of the United States.: Mount1 McKinley. is 20,320 feet high and the St. Elias Ridge Summit is 18,008 feet high. Anchorage is the largest city in the state, hav ing a population of 30,000. Alaska has very little ju venile delinquency, according to the speaker. Eskimo fathers never try to act young, or pre tend to be another boy, for they think they would have no authority to correct a child if they did.,Ai father must de mand respect, but dignity must be combined with ten derness, these people believe. The Alaska "freeze-up" is Always an event, and the peo ple all seem to be joyful over it. In November the sun does not rise at , all, the speaker said. In the evening the full brilliance of the northern lights appears. The Eskimos have astonish ing eyesight, Mrs. Swartsley declared, adding "their eyes are no better than ours, but they use them more keenly." School teachers in Alaska are better paid than in Ore gon, but the cost of living is great. Teachers say the Eski mo children are very well be-, haved and never noisy. Salmon strips are called "Eskimo candy," they are smoked but never cooked. The Eskimo woman thinks for herself, the speaker said. She votes, goes to clubs, and raises funds to help older peo ple. Preceding the- program there was a short business ses sion. Mrs. Clay M. Lee, presi dent; presided. Members voted to assist the aging by visiting the forgotten ones in nursing homes. Mrs. Jack D. Brummond is chairman for a rummage sale to be held Thursday, Decem ber 3 in the Fehl building. Final plans were made for this, and the proceeds will go to, PARE for self-help kits for Greece. Mrs. Ralph A. Foster,' First district secretary, Ashland, was a guest of the club. A candlelight ceremony for CARE was held. On a buffet table, centered with a large white candle and fruits, was placed a festive cak decorated with the horn of plenty and with CARE written on it. Beside it stood a CARE box.
