Women's News
Social Events
New York The butterfly silhouette lakes a halter neck
- line for social evenings as Eva Rosecrans designs a pretty
print for the spring collection of Nettie Rosenstein. Done in
warp printed silk gauze, the dress bares the back and should
ers, and shows off a tiny waistline, and billows over the hips
in a full, dancing skirt. (UPI Telephoib)
Sleeves, Necklines Make
News in Spring Fashions
By GAY PAULEY
New York (UPB The major
change in the spring silhou
ette is in the width of the
sleeves, but necklines are also
making news.
Necklines are wide and low
for late day and evening
wear.
Among the designers who
this week showed their spring
collections, the leading ex
ponents of the bare look for
evening were Ceil Chapman,
Luis Estevez, Nettie Rosen
stein, Oleg Cassini and Jane
Derby. All are members of
the New York coutvie group,
which semi-annually stages
a week of shows for visiting
reporters.
AH suggested that a beauti
ful back offers as much al
lure as an MM front. Jane
Derby did a series of devastat
ing dinner pajamas, backless
and as fancy as a ball gown.
Some retailed at prices to dev
astate the average pocketbook
-one pair, in blue silk with
sequin embroidery and
matching coat, went for $900.
Bars Top Dresses
Miss Chapman showed sev
eral bare top dresses and em
phasized the whole figure
with draped sheaths, both
cocktail and dinner length.
She liked the look also of
black matte jersey tops on
bases of white chiffon or lace.
One billowing lace skirt with
scalloped hem lifted to reveal
the shins at the front and
dipped to sweep the floor at
the back.
Cassini featured a whole
group of cocktail dresses in
black, with back bared or
covered with little more than
a "x" of straps, and lace in
serts to direct interest to deep
v's in front.
Estevez' late day clothes
plunged to the waist in back
and nearly as low in front.
Miss Rosenstein showed long
sleeved dinner dresses with
high front and a v-back slit
to the waist.
Here, by individual firms,
are highlights of collections
shown Friday:
Herbert Sondheim-the firm
endorsed togetherness, show
ing coats coordinated with
dresses for any hour, or an
overblouse look to jackets
teamed with related dresses
in silk or wool.
Pockets Revived
Ben Gershel-pockets were
used lavishly on coats and
suits. Coats had low-set, big
patch pockets or the unseen,
side-slashed variety. Pockets
rode high or at "the normal
waistline on suits. The firm's
designer, Robert Knox, also
revived the small, ticket
pocket.
David E. Gottlieb-in a sea
son when just about everyone
showed big sleeves, designer
Gothe eliminated them in
some costumes. He showed a
fitted waist - length jacket
with raglan armhole but no
sleeve. It topped a swim dress
with bracelet length sleeves.
Skirts are about evenly divid
ed between slim and full.
Samuel Winston designer
Roxane suggested the coat
dress as an alternate for the
suit or jacket costume. Shown
in sheer wools and firm silks,
the dress usually is belted
with flaring skirt and full,
rounded sleeves.
Nat Kaplan designer Syl
via Kaplan included a whole
group of "little" dresses with
a two-piece look. She used
vestee or dickey inserts, in
contrasting print or stripel.
Typical was a gray-checked
cotton with a deep v-shaped
inset in coordinate stripe.
Columbia
Basin Topic
For League
"A power potential six
times that of any other river
basin in the U. S. makes the
Columbia river rather im
portant." So stated Mrs. Ken
neth H. Baker, program chair
man for the general meeting
of the League of Women Vot
ers. At the luncheon meeting
set for 12:30 Saturday, Janu
ary 23, at the Red Cross build
ing, league members and all
interested persons will have
the chance to express their
ideas about the "Great River
of the West" as the Indians
so aptly named it.
"Although Jackson county
is on the fringe of the Colum
bia Basin, our economy is
closely linked to the rest of
the state and the Basin. In ad
dition, we in the Rogue Valley
have an intense interest in the
acute water problems at all
levels, from Bear Creek to
Rogue River and the Colum
bia," Mrs. Baker stated.
Assisting Mrs. Baker in a
brief resume of information
will be Mrs. Ogden Kellogg,
Gold Hill, Mrs. E. E. Meeker,
and Mrs. John Raapke. A dis
cussion of the problems in
volved in development of the
Columbia will follow. Areas
of agreement will be recorded
as a barometer of Medford
league's thinking to be for
warded to the State League.
Anyone who wishes a copy
of the booklet, "Great River
of the West", may phone the
publication chairman, Mrs.
Robert Scofield, SPring 2
6470. For luncheon reserva
tions phone Mrs. Richard
Schwann, SPring 2-8825.

Retired Group
Hears Speaker
Talk on USSR
Differences between Rus
sian and American schools
were discussed by Dr. Leon
ard Mayfield, superintendent
of Medford public schools at
the January meeting of Jack
son County Retired Teachers
association.
Dr. Mayfield said class
rooms were dominated by the
teacher and no questions are
asked by the pupils. Pupils
recite verbatim from text
books, he stated.
The speaker said he saw
little or no effort to develop
creativity, with the subject
matter being mostly that
which would teach loyalty
and obedience to the Com
muist state.
He gave a decided "no" as
to whether the USSR is do
ing a better job than the Unit
ed States in education. The
new school buildings are very
poorly built, he said, and few
would pass requirements here.
However, the morale of the
schools is very high.
He praised students for
their behavior, and the peo
ple in general for their cour
tesy. No flag was on display, in
stead portraits of Lenin were
everywhere, Dr. Mayfield
said. Lenin is their substitute
for a deity.
-Singing in the schools was
especially good, as it was also
in the church. There were no
bands. The speaker said he
saw plenty evidence that this
is still a police state, and said
it is quite evident that they
are deliberately attempting to
kill religion.
He was not permitted
to converse with the people
except in public and was not
allowed to visit in homes.
Very few homes are single
units, but multiple units with
three rooms to each family,
Dr. Mayfield said. He read
from text books distorted and
false versions, which he said
are also found in other litera
ture. Ray Lewis, music instructor
for the McLoughlin Junior
High school, presented his
ninth grade class in several
numbers.
Lemon Chips New
Chip cookery is expanding
to include fruit flavor. Lemon
chips the shape and size of
chocolate and caramel chips
now are available for making
cookies, candy, pastry, frost-
ings, fillings, glazes, sauces,
puddings and desserts. A 16
ounce (1 cup) cellophane
package contains recipes, and
the manufacturer offers a
recipe booklet.
Mills?
New York Dinnertime is
tunic time as Hannah Troy
uses the popular double skirt
for a festive dinner dress.
Done in black and while silk
taffeta, smartly checked and
striped, the dress has a cami
sole top with a tailored black
taffeta bow at each shoulder.
The skirt flares crisply over
its slim underskirt.
