slightly longer than those
shown by Dior last season, but
shorter than those shown this
morning by Jacques Griffe.
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.
It is held in conjunction with
the annual Festival of Arts in
February with emphasis this
year on the art of the theatre.
Students, adults, people in
terested in community and
children's theatre, anyone
with an interest in drama
are invited to attend the con
ference. Anyone attending is
required to register as a dele
gate. The University Theatre
is considering this a national
theatre convention for the
west coast because the nation
al convention held in Wash
ington. D.C., this year was
out of reach for so many
people.
During the three-day con
ference there will be four
general sessions of discussion.
The areas discussed, design
ing, directing, acting, and
play writing will be analyzed
by eminent theatre lecturers:
Mordecai Gorelik, Samuel
Selden (head of the theatre
arts department at UCLA),
Morris Carnovsky, and Ken
neth Mcgowan. 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

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.

Former National Officer
Speaks for OEA Group
Children should be taught that hard work is honorable
and that to do less than our best is undesirable according to
Ewald Turner, Pendleton, Ore., who spoke for the annual
winter meeting of Jackson County unit, Oregon Education
association, held January 23 at Jewett Elementary school
in Central Point. Mr. Turner is a past president of the
National Classroom Teachers' association, subsidiary orga
nization of National Education association.
Mr.
Turner suggested that
there are three areas which
challenge today's teachers. He
admonished those educators
present to use their positions
to teach children that hard
work is honorable and to al
ways put forth their best ef
forts. Professionally, he urged,
those in his audience to find
their niche in their profes
sional organization and to
work for improvement for the
present and the future. He
further stated that as educa
tors they were obligated to
continue to improve and edu
cate themselves toward per

Girl Says
French Don't
Know French
By IRENE FERRIS
Nice -(WNS- "The trouble
with the French language is
that the French don't seem to
understand it," said Virginia
Thomas, 18, of White Plains,
New York. "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,"

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.

pie mixes rarely were forgot
ten. 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

reminder to be put on kitchen
hook, kitchen board or with
