Another difference was that Patou shaped and elongated the bust, and left the hip line unaccentuated. Griffe concentrated " more on the bottom than on the top of the new silhouette, showing many hip length jackets and long torso mod els. Skirts at both houses were tapered narrow at the hem line. Some Patou models minced in order to show the skirt. Both collectors had unity of style throughout day and eve ning wear. Both said goodbye to collars. Even the mink jackets of Patou were collar less. Patou was strong for back interest, whether the casual blousing of a daytime dress or a dramatic V-shaped slit baring the back of a cocktail dress. Patou's slinky floor length sheaths stopped the show with their flounced skirts slit up to the knee. Another eve ning show-stopper had a V- shaped slit cut under the bosom. Daytime dresses had high bosoms and softly bloused backs. Most were collarless. Many of Patou's suits had short bloused length jackets and were worn with blouses that were part of the suit. There were also suits with hip length jackets dotted to look like peplums. Griffe launched the first full day of spring and sum mer fashion shows by leaving skirt lengths at the top of the mid-calf and showing both princess and long torso mod els. Luch Manguin led off the week-long presentation Sun day night by presenting a princess line with a skirt length unchanged from last season. The first number ' on the runway was a tightly belted full-skirted black princess style dress with wide open V neck collar. This wide-open neckline ap peared again and again throughout the collection. Conference In Drama Scheduled Eugene-The annual North west Drama conference, sched uled February 11-13 at the University of Oregon, will feature four topic areas of the theatre, designing? direct ing, acting, and play writing.

Students, adults, people in terested in community and children's theatre, anyone with an interest in drama are invited to attend the con ference.

These speak ers will be on campus for the conference and for the Festi val of Arts. - ' . For delegates, the Universi ty Theatre will present a showing of "A View From the Bridge." ' Guest productions are-also planned. ... ,.. Greek Line Adopted By Balmain By PAT HERMAN United Press International Paris -(UPE-Designer Pierre Balmain went all the way back to the ancient Greeks today to make women look like goddesses. Balmain's line, presented on the second day of the spring-summer fashion shows, was Corinthian after the Greek column. The line was straight, its skirt length to the top of the calf. It was adorned at the top in Corinthian style by wide brim hats or hats with a sculptured effect. The body line, one of the straightest seen this season, was broken by either a deep flounce of the skirt, a low slung side belt or side drapery. Balmain, who opened one of the first fur departments in Paris, was strong for mixing furs with fabrics. He put mink cuffs on a lace silk, a leopart collar on a beaver jacket, and lined persian Iamb with white pique. In general, the Paris de signed let out the belt and the result was an easy-fitting silhouette with a lower waist line. Busts, waists and hips al ways were there but they were caressed rather than moulded by the fabric. There was the suggestion of the long torso and many long jacketed suits. Evening clothes, as always with Balmain, were the most dramatic. Embroidered ankle-length sheaths had a sculptured look. Balmain also showed sweeping decollete ball gowns in a profusion of col ors and handsome evening coats, many of them slit up the back. Balmain used the slit tech nique to give movement to daytime coats. When coats were collarless they often had accompanying stoles. Suits followed classic lines, many of them being long jacketed. They appeared in clear colored wools, bold plaids and vertical stripes. Balmain used these through out to lengthen the column like silhoutte. Dresses had buttons up the side or the back, diagonal draperies of low hip belts to give interest to the straight silhouette. Officers Honored By Court Roxv Ann court.

"At least they don't understand it the way we Americans understand it." For instance, the French don't know that "a la mode" means "with a ball of vanilla ice cream on top." "To them, anything served a la mode is browned in fat and served with brown gravy," reported the Ameri can girl. "What a sad way to eat apple pie!" In France, chiffon means rags, and a chauffeur can be the furnace-man. A chande lier is not a lighting fixture but the fellow who makes candles. "Every American knows that both a bureau and a chif foniere means a chest of draw ers, but the French don't," declared the teenager. "They say that a bureau is a business office and that a chiffoniere is a ragpicker." In the matter of under clothes the French display a special ignorance of their own language. To them, a slip is an abbreviated pair of un derpants, to be worn by men as well as by women." "The word 'brassiere' throws them completely," said Miss Thomas. "They insist that it's either a life preserver or the set of reins used to hold tiny tots learning to walk." A cafe may be an eating place in America, - but the French who created the word say that it's a cup of coffee or the place where you go to drink it. . - , "As for . a cafeteria, they start by spelling it wrong -cafetiere and then imagine its a coffeepot," Mews place when Ll.

Designer Thinks Markets Should Supply Staple List By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York - (UPD - Super markets go to infinite trouble to please the woman shopper -but there's one small area they're missing. They provide the parking space, the flattering color schemes for the interior, the non-household products for one-stop marketing, piped-in music which ought to be piped down in most stores, even nursery services. Then, why not a list of sta ples near the entrance? Some thing the housewife could tear off as she picked up a cart, and use as sort of a string around the finger to remind of regular needs. Such a list would be especially helpful if the woman is among the ma jority who market from mem ory. For, a new study of shop per forgetfulness shows we most often leave the store mi nus the everyday needs-coffee, milk, bread, butter, oleo, orange juice. Saul Nesbitt, an industrial designer for 15 years and a specialist in food packaging and marketing, said he quer ied 96 women in three heavily-populated suburban New York and Connecticut coun ties and found that coffee is the item most often forgotten. Next were milk and bread, and in homes where there were small children, peanut butter. Other edibles the wo men were prone to forget in cluded sugar, salt, vinegar, cooking oils, pepper, mustard, ketchup and flavorings. Non-edibles included light bulbs, laundry starch and bleaches, household ammonia, furniture polish, cleaning flu ids and all types of paper products. "The most overlooked are what I call the non-glamorous Chrysanthemum Club Names New Officers Mrs. C. E. Naffziger was elected president of Chrysan themum Thimble club, Neigh bors of Woodcraft lodge, at a meeting held at the home of Mrs. Edith Devaney, 1012 East Jackson street. Other officers are Mrs. Grace Malone, vice-president; Mrs. Florence Boussum, sec retary and Mrs. George Culy, treasurer. Following the . business meeting "mystery pal" pres ents were exchanged and cards were played. The club will hold the Feb ruary meeting at the home of Mrs. Naffziger, 116 South Ivy street.

Nesbitt said several of the women suggested that stores make available their advertis ed list of specials also at the entrance. And the tear-off want list should provide some white space for her own jot tings. "This need to me is so obvious." said the designer, "I'm amazed it wasn't done years ago." The designer said his stud ies of shopping habits indicat ed that most women market minus a list brought from home. They plan menus as they go -relying on specials and displays for suggestions. Those who do plan ahead use a variety of reminders, from kitchen memo pad or blackboard to scraps of paper stuffed in the pocket of the coat usually worn to market. He blames some female for getfulness on the way some staples are packaged. A nar row "window" panel of trans parent film in cartons and bags of sugar, salt and other "dry" products would signal when the supply is low. Or, if she transfers these to canisters, let the producer pro vide an easy-to-remove tag or reminder to be put on kitchen hook, kitchen board or with the memo pad. fits custom-smooth . . . even if you're an in-between size mm ' 1 I the bra that breathes with you our Charmode exclusive wonderstretch 359 Fits as only an all supple elastic bra can!
