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. Oregon Delagation
The Oregon delegation has
favored seats, five rows from
the front, at the left of the
speaker's stand. Gov. Mark

Mrs. Hatfield sits in Box 29,
close to the press section. At
the opening session Monday,
she looked cool and attractive
in a white linen trimmed with
dark blue braid. 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

dress and hair, an olive
blonde, and stunning.

Beautiful sight here Satur

got under way, the 53rd run

requiring 36 to 40 hours. Sail

Members' Show To Close;
New Exhibit Announced
The currant exhibit at
Rogue gallery, 220 West Main
street, will close Friday, July
29, it was pointed out today.
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. Annual dues are
$5 for an individual, and S7.50
for a married couple. Those
who would like to contribute
an additional amount to per

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

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.

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.

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.

The Republicans allowed
their affection by giving her
a gold bracelet engraved with
the presidential seal. 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.
