12 A. MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOHD. ORE. MONDAY. NOVEMBER 7, 1960 Garment Houses Stress 'Easy look' For Spring I irv. 1 LJ turn tLrtj& By GAY PAULEY UPI Womm'i Editor Now York-lUPil-We've mov ed from the sack to the slack in fashion silhouettes. The one out standing trend in the spring I . . I 1UDI C01I CC 1 lions in New X J ., ,S York's gar ment industry is to clothes with a defin ite easy shape -clothes with Gay Pauley a S 1 a C Kcnca silhouette. No hour glass hug ging of the figure. Instead, a relaxdd, not tight fit. Not that we all can climb comfortably into the volumin ous muu-muus. Skirts for for spring make strong de mands on the figure, because so many of them remain slim. And certainly the continu ance of the short hemline, Just skimming the knee caps, calls for good gams. The ease comes through the sleeves, bodice and waistline. Bodices are so bulky that It will take a few tryings-on in dressing rooms during shop ping to get used to this roomy cut. Sleeves are airy, and waistlines range all over the place high, normal and low. Kind to Waistline One of the strongest expon ents of the bulky, big armholc look at the top is Jacques Tif feau, the young Frenchborn designer for Monte Sano and Pruzan a trend-settling house which last week showed its 'spring collection to reporters and buyers. Tiffeau gave an oval, often smock-like shape to the backs of coats and suits. Or, else he made slim skirts, eased across the tummy with a few gath ers. Overblouses for the skirts proved kind to the waistline not quite as slim as Scarlett O'Hara's. His favorite collar treat ment was the "ring" the neckline cut with the rest of the bodice, but designed to stand up and away out from the throat. Any sleeve which came below the elbow looked like an immigrant. At Monte Sano; as with other manufacturers who have shown their spring col lections in the last four weeks, Most changes from last year are In color, fabric and detail. Airy Fabrics Tiffeau used bright yellows, emerald and paler greens, lush rose-pink, a navy almost bright enough to class as royal blue, and a bronze-toned wool dubbed the unlikely name of snuff brown. There was a smattering of "string," or off-white tones. Fabrics grow airier each season. Monte Sano, for in stance, showed an imported "lace" tweed, described as "thin as silk." Most woolens for spring have a spongy, souffle tex ture. Cottons in turn look like wool. And at the House of Pauline Trigere, there was a group of sheer wools which looked like cotton denim, batiste or gingham. New York designers gener ally followed the the lead of Paris in the non-symmetrical or side closing in coats and suit jackets. For spring also, look for culottes or slim, trouscr skirts in daytime suits, In sports wear, lounge and party wear; look for the revival of the swinging, pyramid coat nar row at the top, wide at the hemline; for lots of white at night; and for pullover tops giving a middy look to many suits.

(Landii photo) Women May Out-Vote Men In Tomorrow's Election By BETTY PRYOR United Press International Washington -IUPI)- Women may out-vote men Tuesday for the first time in the his tory of U.S. presidential elec tions. There are 56.1 million wo men of voting age, a 3.4 mil lion margin for the distaff side over the 52.7 million men old enough to cast ballots, the Census Bureau reports. But women usually turn out a smaller percentage of their eligible vote. One study esti mated that 57.8 per cent of the eligible women voted in 1D56, compared to 60.9 per cent of the eligible men. In spite of this previous lag in getting to the polls, both the Democratic and Republican parties have reported that wo men are more active in the current campaign than ever before. They saw this as an indication that larger numbers of eligible women actually would vote for either Vice President Richard M. Nixon or Sen. John F. Kennedy. The women's division of the Republican National commit tee estimated that, if the same percentages of the eligible vot ers of both sexes turned out Tuesday, there would be 32, 061,000 female votes and 31, 888,000 male votes. Other estimates, however, have forecast that a record breaking 65 million to 69 mil lion persons actually will vote. This would be an in crease of three to seven mil lion over the 62,027,040 bal lots counted in 1056. The so-c ailed "women's vote" went to President Ei senhower both times he ran, According to a study sponsor ed by the American Heritage Foundation, women voters provided 52.5 per cent of his total vole in 1956 and 51.9 per cent in 1952. Republicans and Democrats alike are working hard to get out the "women's vote" in this year's presidential contest, Both parties are appealing to women to become interested and active in their party's campaign, rather than stress ing any special "women's" issue. Some election experts doubt there really is a women s vote." Mrs. Margaret Price, Democratic director of wo men's activities, has said: "I don't feel that women vote as a bloc. They vote on the issues, just as men do." Welcome Club To Hold Coffee; Events Planned An informal coffee will be held at the home of Mrs. Lew is G.

But the aspirations of young Miss Alice Putnam soon were curtailed when physicians told her she gradually was losing her hearing. This, said Miss Putnam, was the real turning point in her life. She decided, on advice of some friends, to turn to the teaching of children with im paired hearing. Now, Miss Putnam, 70, is retiring some 45 years and 25,000 pupils later. She step ped down from active teach ing of lip-reading at the end of the 1959-1960 school year. After deciding to go into specialized teaching of the hard-of-hcaring, she studied at the famed Rackham School for Exceptional Children at Ypsilanti, Mich., then at Wayne university in Detroit, the University of .Colorado, and at San Francisco State col lege. It was In 1926 when she completed all her special training and returned to Hous ton to become one of the then two special education teachers of the city's school system. The department now has 26 teach ers. Miss Putnam has conducted her special lip-reading classes in every elementary school in Houston, "But lip-reading is not the only important part of our teaching," Miss Putnam em phasized. "It's the encourage ment, the moral support, the direction that goes along with it." One of the hardest problems in getting youngsters started in the special classes, she said is discovering the hard - of -hearing child. "Often they are overlook ed," she said. "Sometimes they are accused of inattention. And the alert child usually tries to cover up his deafness. "But once ho is found and turned over to us for special training, and once he begins to learn lip-reading, his grades start going up. The lip-reading child becomes the most attentive student in the class room because he has to keep his eye on the teacher all the time. "A lot of our teachers tell me they wished all their youngsters were required to take a short course In lip-reading. They would be better students." Even though she is retiring from active teaching. Miss Putnam says she plans to "find something to keep me busy" helping hard-of-hearing children. Women's News Social Events jet tr " J ' " ' ' i ;! bl : ft t tn inltii 'ii "l Willi in i i immi li It 'f itf'h" i aj the best restaurants in the world are located in this area. Along "Restaurant Row" on La Ciniega Boulevard, there's a cluster of eating places that bow to none in quality and service. Glob e-trotting gourmets may argue this point, but there's one thing they won't argue "Restaurant Row" has the world's most unusual eat ing place. It is a restaurant that serves only one entree, prime ribs of beef. Lawry's The Prime Rib has written a success story in the Industry, but it was called a "hare-brained" idea when it was started years ago. Westerners eat more beef than any other geographical group of Americans and more beef is eaten at Lawry's than any other place you can name. Cattle raisers and pota to growers bow when they hear the name. Lawry's uses 33,000 to 35, 000 pounds of beef each month. It is working toward the four million mark in the number of potatoes consumed. There's a plaque on display from Gov. Robert E. Smiley of Idaho expressing gratitude from the potato state when the three-millionth spud was checked out of the kitchen. The restaurant's menu Is un-cluttercd and mouth watering. You can have pota toes, baked or mashed, a salad served on plates chilled for 24 hours, spinach or peas and roast beef, however you like it. Beef is carved on a cart at the table by a chef. This idea has been copied but few res taurants have carts like the Lawry ones, almost as big as a golf cart,' and costing $3,200. They , are mobile steam tables, carrying 20 gal lons of water heated by a charcoal brazier. Lawry's has another unique procedure in preparation of beef. Each seven-rib roast is coated with rock salt before it is placed in the oven and cooked at very high tempera ture. Arthur Wynne, major domo of four restaurants under the same ownership says the rock salt seals in the beef juices. The Prime Rib idea came from the fertile mind of Law rence L. Frank and the res taurant's name is a contrac tion of Lawrence. He and bis brother-in-law, Walter Van de Kanip, are its operators. Frank also originated the "third shaker" on the table. This is a seasoned salt which he developed in his kitchen at home.
