Watches Become Turn-About Gifts At Engagement United Press International A fashionable measure of a man's social status: a turn about engagement trend whereby the gal gives her fiance a new wrist watch when he puts the diamond on her third finger. If he's under 23 and telling time from new wrist watch, hands off. gals. He's engaged. And the Jewelry Industry council- re ports most girls give watches with the underside engraved marking the date and senti ment as well as the fact of the engagement. Fashionable ribbing's okay lor spring. Two of the newest laorlcs, lor coats and suits, are cotton ottoman and wide ribbed double knit jersey. ,- The trend is to mid-arm length gloves and to simple classic styles. In addition to washable leathers, fabrics vary, ranging from cotton and synthetic fiber knits to nylon that looks like suede. You'll see many fancy fab rics in the new party dresses for little girls. There are washable velveteens in deep rich tones plus new dacron organzas and batistes in ice cream pastels. Despite their deceptively fragile appear ance, these pale sheers could- n t be- easier to keep clean and ready to wear. Frequent laundering in soap or deter gent suds, plus minimum iron ing, is all that's needed. When you hang a raincoat to drip dry after laundering, stuff the pockets with tissue This holds them open so even the inside corners will dry out. This trick is recommend ed especially for coats made of practically air-tight plastic, Next year, cotton as a fash- Ion fabric is going to change its appearance. The - British Cotton board recently display ed the new trends at exhibi tions In London and Manches ter. Trend number one Is to abstract prints in muted tones for town wear. Another change is to the textured look -cotton looking like tweed, Fashion puts snug foot forward in new over-the-sock boots. They come in heights ranging from ankle to just- under-the-knee level. Stylists at B. F. Goodrich and Hood have fashioned the rubber boots in gay colors such as gold and red, high-fashion ol ive green, the boots are lined with flannel or pile, The smartest men are wear ing de-cuffed and, in some Instances, de-pocketed trous ers. The fashionable pants are tapered to 17 inches at the ankle, 19 inches at the knee. They hang straight, breaking just at the ankle and feature an accented waist devoid of pleats and tucks. Our British cousins are spending more on clothes. Sur veys show the biggest spend ers are in the 16 to 24 age group. New clothes shops and boutiques are opening up to cater to the demand.

Social Events Women's News White House Improved, Says Architect By ROSE McKEE Washington - President elect and Mrs. John F. Ken nedy will find the White House a "far more comfort able place" ,to live in than it was before its restoration-for-safety during the Truman ad ministration. Anyone who thinks the fam ily rooms of the executive mansion provided the tops in liveability over the years, should talk to Lorenzo S Wlnslow. He was the White House architect for 19 years, including the period of the 1949-1952 rebuilding of the Interior. Winslow said that the "average new home today. even a small one, offers more In comfort" than did the fam ily quarters of the White Square Dance Classes Slated A number of classes In square dancing are scheduled for January.

Most professional growers ship gift plants in porous clay pots to Insure plants of the highest quality. But if you have received a holiday plant in a thin-walj, non-porous con tainer, transfer it to a clay pot to preserve Its health and beauty. Horticultural experts spy that over-watering is a lead ing reason behind th- pre mature death of plants. One rule of green thumb garden ing Indoors is to water all your plants at the same time dally until water runs nut of the drainage hole In the Cut- of the clay pot. Overheating Is the second greatest hazard to holiday potted plants. Keep them away from radiators or other heat Cdutlets. Open the win dow In a nearby room during the sunny period of the day tofreshen tn air. Liveability House before its remodeling The major Improvements for comfort, he told the Na tional Association of Home Builders, were the building of sufficient closets, more bath rooms, and additional storage areas.' Many First Ladles appar ently have had storage prob lems. Wlnslow, said that once there was only one small closet on the whole second floor, the main family quart ers. ". He explained that when the White House was built in the 1790's, closets -generally were omitted because In ' those days, wardrobes were used to hold clothes. But the massive often ornate, cases long ago ceased to be adequate. More Closets Wlnslow said the recent re building gave each of the White House bedrooms one or two big . closets. Space for closets was obtained by re placing some thick interior walls with thinner steel con struction and by cutting down the size of big, old bathrooms, In addition,- storage rooms were built on the top floor There were no bathrooms in the White House when Presi dent and Mrs. John Adams be came its first occupants in November,- 1800. Eventually, one bathroom was built. Oth ers were ...added over the years. The remodeling of 10 years ago gives the two pri vate, residential floors a to tal of 19 bathrooms. The old bathrooms were big, and according to Win slow, often cold and drafty, He said they were "difficult to heat." Now they are compact, "heatable" units with marble, tile, noiseless toilets, and glass - enclosed tub - showers. The bathrooms on the upper floor are smaller than those on the floor below. The Truman administration restoration was undertaken to make the White House safe. Its floors were sagging and the interior construction was on the shakey side. This was the result of various changes made In the building in line with the wishes of the occu pants. But the changes were not always made with regard to structural strength. Mansion Safer Winslow said that the re modeling not only has made the mansion safe and more comfortable, but also more at tractive. The living room, he noted, has new built-in book cases and "nice architectural detail.' He believes that of all the rooms in the Executive Man sion, the sun room on the upper floor would be the ideal nursery for the Kennedys baby, John F., Jr. Winslow pointed out that there is a small kitchen ad jacent to the sun room. Built as a diet kitchen, it could be used to prepare the b(.by's food. President Eisenhower has used this kitchen for the cook ing he enjoys doing for a few close friends The sun room is the place where President Franklin D, Roosevelt had his lunch dur ing the war years. When he first took office, Mr. Roose velt had a sandwich or a light snack at his desk. But with the outbreak of World War II, the White House physician urged "FDR" to get away from his desk for a short time in the middle of the day, as a tension-breaker. The then President complied by having his lunches In the sun room. It is a polygonal metal room with a great expanse of glass that provides a magnificent view extending to the Po tomac river. When Mrs. Harry Truman, as First Lady, showed a group of women reporters through the family living quarters aft er the renovation, the sun room stood out as a bright and cheerful place. It had bomboo furniture and blue green walls. While It provides a fine view, the sun room is hidden from the street by a big stone balustrade. It would seem to offer' the seclusion for the Kennedy children that t'Wiff parents prefer for theta. Students Leave For Corvalli-s j Mr. and Mrs. Fred W.

A bet ter method is based on the young sters own desires for improved a p p e arance physical f i t- jeanne Lesem ness and social acceptance, says a nutrition authority.

She also passed on a set of rules from the director of a California teen-age medical clinic that youngsters them selves should be quick to ap prove. They are: Give teen-agers credit for knowing something, and a chance to talk ond ask ques tions.

He said it at a recent semi nar on "Why women are bet ter than men and vice versa." .-,!.' Dr. Murphy said there is a difference i between: glandular secretions; present ill. . the blood i)f men and women, and consequently; a 'difference in the ".body fluids of incredible' complexity" f bathing the brain's .ten billion cells. jj' .. "Every interest,, taste, atti tude;' or value lj' governedto some extent by these body fluids, and behind these fluids lies the bodily structure as a whole, with its instinct ual, temperamental, and other attributes," Dr. Murphy said. The capacity for "over whelmingly narrow and in tense preoccupation in a single task and for aggressive ness and domination both bio logically and historically is associated with masculinity, just as warmth, sensitivity and an interest in people are female attributes, Dr. Murphy noted. He said because women's brains are different from men's brains, members of the gentler sex may become great novelists, but they are less likely to become great mathe maticians or chess players.
