12 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. Wednesday, Jan. 13, I960 Dior Hobble Skirt Shown for Spring By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York - (ITD - The Dior hobb!e skirt which the firm launched last fall in Paris hob bles right into its New York collection for spring. But this leg-fettering fash ion remains strictly Dior. American designers" skip right past it with a preference for tunics and a move to fuller skirts in the collections they are showing visiting fashion reporters this week. The New York couture group of 55 de signers and manufacturers stages the shows semi-annually. It was the House of Dior's younger designer, Yves St. Laurent, who brought back the hobble, plus hemlines above the knee, in the Paris custom collection. Tradition ally, this one is more of a fashion world-shaker than the wholesale collection in New York, which St. Laurent also supervises. Dior - New York in general leaves the hemline where other designers have, cover ing the knees. But one pouf tunic hobble rose to mid-knee when the model walked. Another hobble - red silk sheath - was so narrow at the hemline the model minced her way in and out of the showroom. Not all of Dior was hobvle, however. Other dresses came with wide belts, slim skirts, many with large Puritan-type collars, and with big sleeves -batwing or kimono. Wide Sleeves Popular The belted dress with wide sleeves extending into the bodice to create an eased sil houette is one of the most frequently seen in all spring lines. This easing also shows in skirts - more bias cuts, flared fronts, gores, and pleats including box, knife and ac cordion which will disguise any 'hippiness." Other trends in daytime dresses include: Some lower ed waistlines, either in fitted, long torso bodices or shallow hip yokes; a plethora of cos tumes - dresses coordinated with jackets, tunics and coats of all lengths; prints of all kinds, geometric, floral, tone-on-tone; look for black, black with white, and the pale . ? . J g si A i , . v. V - " ' Patullo - Jo Copeland - De signer Copeland likes the rounded look for spring easy fit at the waist, rounded over the' hips, and often with bell shaped sleeves. Marquise - This firm's de signer, Philippie Tournaye, believes the American woman wants lighter weight fabrics than the industry has given her. So the collection shows the results of his around-the-world shopping for them -cottons, featherweight wor steds, new silk worsteds, and zephyr weight crepes. Rudolf - Some subtle low ering of the waistline here, and more white touches in collars and gilets than in many a spring. One full-skirted cocktail dress in tissue weight taffeta has a V-neck-line slashed to the waist in the back and banded with re embroidered white alencon lace. Davidow - The most popu lar silhouette at this house famous for its suits is a semi fitted jacket worn with an easy walking, slim skirt. But for the woman who feels more comfortable in a fuller skirt, the firm includes skirts with accordion or box pleats. New York The New York House of Dior takes an easy look at the spring coat for I960.- Self belt, patch pockets and a mannish collar line drawn away from the neck line give a causal air to the textured blue wool coat. (UPI Telephoto) shades - whitened beiges, pearl grays. Other Designers Tuesday Highlights from individual collections shown Tuesday: Luis Estevez this young Cuban-born designer pushes the all - girl look, with slit skirts, sheaths so tight they look painted on, and necklines cut deep fore and or aft.

(UPI Telephoto) Vice-President's Secretary Prefers Suits in Wardrobe By PATRICIA WIGGINS United Press International Washington-fL'PD-Vice President Richard M. Nixon is more important than Dior to the wardrobe of Rose Mary Woods. Miss Woods is Nixon's secretary. She gears her shopping or lack of it and her clothes to the hectic pace she leads keeping up with her boss. Red-haired Rose "loves clothes." But she happily admits that she "rarely gets time" to shop. Instead, she has "friends" in two or 'three shops around town who know her pre ferences and will round up a dress or suit and send it out to fill an emergency wardrobe need. Because Miss Woods is a perfect size 10, this is not as risky as it sounds. Shoes are the one thing likely to steal her away from the office for a fast shopping spree. She likes a comfortable sling pump with an open toe and spike heels. But from then on the field is wide open to colors and fabric. She "depends on color" fori more dressy dresses, and often chooses odd shades of green to contrast with her hair or pink as a counterpoint. But Rose confesses that her long days at the office mean she seldom has a chance to dress up for an evening out. She doesn't have time to go home and change. As a result, she finds her self most frequently wearing suits dressed up or down for in and out of the office. She has many more suits than dresses in her wardrobe, most of them in "subdued" tones that she finds more versatile. The suit jacket is off "when we're really rushing around the office," and is don ned for afterhours stepping out. Her jewelry, in or out of the office, usually consists of simple pearls and a plain gold circlet pin. Miss Woods' suit skirts us ually are slim so that hems will stay out of the way of chair rollers and spike heels in a fast move. Full skirts, says Rose, "are too much bother." The vice president's girl Friday loves hats on other women. As a result, she usually will "carry" a hat to the of fice and put it on only if need ed at a luncheon or similar occasion. Most of her hats are "productions" in their own right rather than innocuous numbers designed for anony mity. Chapter to Hear Talk on Charm Mrs. Frank B. Hopewell, Eagle Point, will speak on "Your Poise and Charm" at a meeting of Alpha-Rho chap ter, Beta Sigma Phi, Thurs day, January 14. Hostess for the meeting is Mrs. Gerald McGrew, 4250 Jacksonville highway, and cohostesses are Mrs. Robert Hercher and Mrs. Jack L. Bailey.

The oratorio "Elijah," to be presented Sunday, January 17, by the Philharmonic So ciety of Southern Oregon, represents a different ap proach to this type of compo sition. In "Elijah" the composer, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, has the soloists represent Bib lical characters, and the musi cal drama is somewhat in the fashion of opera although without costumes or scenery. The story is told through airs, recitatives, duets, trios and chorus, accompanied by or chestra, i The overture depicts the Children of Israel suffering from the drought and ques tioning if the Lord is still God of Zion. Obadiah, their lead er, exhorts them to seek the Lord, but they turn against him. An angel instructs Elijah to go to a widow who will sustain him until the day the Lord will send rain, and he restores to life the son of the widow. Elijah presents himself to Ahab, the king, who accuses him of troubling Israel; Eli jah tells. him the trouble has been brought about because the people have forsaken God and worship Baal. He com mands Ahab to summon the priests of Baal and the people. and orders them to prepare a sacrifice, but to put no fire under it, saying - "And the God who by fire shall answer, let him be God." The priests cry to Baal, but there is no answer. Elijah taunts them, and they cry again, but to no avail.- Then Elijah calls on the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, the fire comes down, and the sacrifice is burnt. Elijah orders the priests to be slain, then prays for rain. His prayer is answered and the people exclaim, "Thanks be to God, He laveth the thirsty land." In the second part of the production Queen Jezebel in cites the people against Elijah for having more power than the King. Obadiah pleads with Elijah to flee to the wil derness, which he does, arid prays the Lord to take away his life. Elijah believes he has failed the Lord because the Israelites have not repent ed. An angel commands him to return and his words "ap peared like burning torches." The oratorio relates that the Lord took him up in a "fiery chariot and by a whirl wind went he to heaven." The closing prophecy proclaims "Then shall the righteous shine forth, and then shall your light break forth and the glory of the Lord shall re ward you." George Peckham, Seattle, will sing the title role of Elir jah and Louis Clayson, Sac ramento, will sing "Obadiah." Women soloists are Mrs. Vio let Hunter, lyric soprano, Medford, and Mrs. Lois Wind sor, Ashland, contralto. The performance will be at Medford High school audito rium beginning at 3 p.m. Richard D.
