By ESTHER BRISTOL Jehosaphat, it's hot here in Chicago! While the tempera ture soars to 94 or so, the humdity climbs up in the 80s and it seems hard to breathe . . . hottest weather here since last September. We have just come from the opening session Monday and J still have shivers up my back from the many thrilling sights. There was the opening when over 100 big American flags were carried out on the floor to the roll of drums while the 50 state flags moved down either side . . . and those thousands sang "The Star Spangled Banner". A definite effort is being made to have a more orderly convention than was viewed in Los Angeles. When the crowd is interested, it can be so still that you can hear only the whirr of the big air condi tioners and the tick-tick of the 250 teletype machines in the back corridors. One such still time is during the open ing and closing prayer when the mass of humanity stops undulating and one has the feeling that the great hall is a tableau. Another thrilling moment Monday was the presentation of the 12 Pueblo Indian gover nors who carried the Canes of Authority, given their people by President Lincoln In 1863. . Only four were in modern dress . . . the others in bright colors and headdress of their native tribes. Stirring Indian music accompanied their en trance.

Her white beret carried a Portland rose and her gloves matched in color. Speaking of matched colors, one of the speakers at the morning session, Mrs. Way land Brookes, had matching dress and hair, an olive blonde, and stunning. While all the politicking is going on, many affairs have been arranged for the dele gates' wives.

Mrs. Eisenhower and Mrs. Nixon are to be guests of honor. Big scramble for tickets. Beautiful sight here Satur day as the Mackinac boat race got under way, the 53rd run ning of boats across the lake, requiring 36 to 40 hours. Sail boats, 102 of them, were vis ible at the start from all along the lake front, and from the big convention hotels. Nobody has taken the plush $300-a-day Imperial suite at the Conrad Hilton, so it is be ing occupied by Owner Con rad Hilton and one of his di rectors. Four years ago, dur ing the Democratic conven tion, it was taken over by Stevenson headquarters and by Lyndon Johnson.

Termed a "member's choice" show, the exhibit is made up of works of art from the private collections of members of the Rogue Valley Art association, which spon sors the gallery. Those who have already viewed the show have found it an unusually appealing and varied exhibit. Viewing the works, it is interesting to re member that these works of art are objects which mem bers find pleasing to "live with" - to have in their homes throughout the years. Oils, water colors, silk screens, etchings, lithographs. sculpture and ceramics are represented in the exhibit. Some of the works date back several hundred years, and others are contemporary pieces completed within re cent years. The material is both repre sentative and abstract. It is pointed out that for those who have not yet visit' ed the gallery, this show could very well provide an excel lent indoctrination to the va riety of work which the asso ciation is attempting to pre sent. No admission is charged. and the gallery is open from noon until 4 p.m. every day except Monday. The next exhibit will open Tuesday, August 1. The works are photographs of contempo rary dancers, and it is being sent from San Francisco. The gallery is maintained through memberships in the association.

First Convention r Friwin Durno from Medford is enjoying his first convention. He and Fay Bris tol are alternates from our district. Durnos came by train, enioved the two aays rest. Mrs. Durno wears a nnmilar convention hat made of veiling with tiny elephants of felt for decoration. Each delegation has rented a chartered bus to haul them between downtown hotels and the amphitheater, which is south 45 blocks. It is a hot trip, held to a snail's pace by traffic. Arivals of VIPs cause huge traffic jams in a city where traffic is terrible anyhow. s,mrfiv nisht Elmo Smith's arrival at the La Salle hotel was the scene of a noisy dem onstration by the Oregon folks. That afternoon had been a tfiant naradp nut on bv the Young Republicans, each club in riiffprpnt costumes, over i nnn nf them. Michigan ave nue was so packed. It was hard to move.

Fluid Cut Shown By Paris House Br GAY PAULEY UPI Woman's Editor Paris - The House of Chris tian Dior today erased the natural waistline, minimized the bust and bucked the rest of the Paris fashion tide with hemlines showing most of the knee. The shapelessness of waist line was the most dramatic change. The firm's youthful design er, Yves Matthieu St. Laur ent, hauled it from its natural level to the lowest point yet seen in the fall and winter collection. The so-called waist settled down anywhere from the up per hip bone to mid-thigh, its final resting place usually marked by shallow gathering in the skirts. These, the only curves in the collection, broke the severe, unfitted line with gentle cup shapes called "co rolla." ' Another way to describe the convex curves of the skirts: They were the shape of paren theses or what some design ers call the pumpkin. The bust looked small and flat because of the tubular silhouette and the natural smallness of the French mod els. Dior kept daytime hemlines at last year's knee level but almost every other Paris de signed dropped them one or two inches this season to cov er the knees entirely. 'Tromise of freedom, felt for several seasons, becomes a reality, said the Dior press release. "Inner construc tion has gone . . . fashion bases itself on softness in fab ric, a fluid cut . . . dresses no longer encase the wearer, but the body comes alive within ... "The silhouette is lengthen ed to its utmost," said the firm. "Fabrics glide over the body." Dior broke with tradition and gave no special name to his 1960 fall and winter col lection. The show, always playing to a packed house of restless, nail-chewing fashion editors, drew Doris Duke, the tobacco heiress. Dior's collection came clos er, if there were any indica tions of a revival, to some of the short skirted numbers from the 1920s - except for those pumpkin skirts. Ud to the Dior showing. this was now Paris couture saw women in the months ahead. Take the general silhouette. There was an immense amount of the 1930s - the bias cut, the wrap-around coats, the high-wrapped fur collars on coats and suit, the fur bor dered hems, the helmet hats, the uncurled and cropped hairdos. There was even the pen- cllled-on artificial arch of the eyebrows which were part and parcel of the Jean Har low, Carole Lombard and. Marlene Dietrich heyday in Hollywood. Committees Announced A number of appointments were made by the madam president, Mrs. Stuart Forbes, at the last meeting of the aux iliary to Crater Lake aerie. Fraternal Order of Eagles.

Chicago Rapublican "swaetheart" Mamia Eisanhowar . has difiiculty unwrapping tha gift given har Tuasday even ing at tha Rapublican National Convention, but, like girls Mrs. Eisenhower Presented Gift by Republican Women By HELEN THOMAS United Prass Intarnational Chicago - Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower can leave the White House happy in the knowledge that she was an adored first lady. She can recall fond memor ies of Tuesday night when Republican party members cheered her, serenaded her and told her sheVas "wonder ful." It was to have been Presi dent Eisenhower's night. His speech to the GOP convention was his last big rallying call to the party, his farewell to politics. But the President chose to share these last great mo ments with his wife, Mamie. A number of times he told the crowd "my wife and I . . ." Like Young Lovers He walked in with her holding hands like young lovers. Mrs. Eisenhower ra diated happiness to be at her husband's side. Her complex ion glowed. She beamed and smiled when she walked onto the amphitheatre platform. She looked stunning. Her costume was a splashy blue and purple silk flowered full skirted frock with a matching silk turban which she wore tilted to the side, showing off the famous Mamie bangs. The first lady wore a three strand pearl choker, diamond earrings, and a diamond brooch. She carried a black satin bag. When the President began to speak Mrs. Eisenhower was visibly moved. Her eyes glis tened as she tried to hold back tears. She kept an adoring gaze on her husband and smiled happily when the dele gates loudly applauded his speech. Then it was her turn.

It was only after the President nudged his wife that she shyly stepped to the lectern to re ceive the present from Mrs. Peter Gibson of Monroe, Mich. She had some difficulty in opening the box tied with a red, white and blue ribbon. When she saw the bracelet she exclaimed, "Oh, how lovely." This was the signal for the organ to play "Let Me Call You Sweetheart." Everyone sang and the President joined in lustily. It was Mrs. Elsenhower's shining hour. -f- Family Holds Reunion in Park Eagle Point - The Tlbbits family held a reunion Sun day, July 24, in the Grants Pass park.
