Kennedy, "i at the very bottom of the list of things I desire." But today, the 31-year-old wife of the president-elect was the nation's No. 1 "clothes horse," no matter how reluct ant she may be to fill the style setter's role. Mrs. Ken nedy, whose clothes spending became an issue during the campaign, by a "landslide" vote topped the list of best dressed women of 1960. Twelve women made the list, compiled each year from written ballots sent to some 2,000 fashion editors, design ers and society leaders. The list is compiled by the New York Couture group. Mrs. Kennedy told reporters the day after her husband's election that she had no de sire lo be a fashion leader. But the couture group com mittee which "analyzed" the ballots said she led the voting by an "overwhelming major ity." It is Mrs. Kennedy's first appearance on the list. Other Leaders The 11 other women are: Vicomtesse Jacqueline de Ribes of Paris, a brunette usually dressed by Christian Dior. Audrey Hepburn, the small, brunette actress who is a steady customer of another French fashion house, Gi venchy; Mrs. Norman K. Winston, born Rosita Halfpenny of Olkahoma, now married to a real estate and building ty coon, and dressed mostly by designers in Paris where the Winstons live part of the year; Donna Marella Agnelli, wife of Giovanni Agnelli, of Turin. Italy, an automobile manufacturing executive dressed by Italian designers; Mrs. Loel Guinness, of Paris and Palm Beach, Mexi can-born wife of a Britisher, dressed mostly by Paris de signers; Mrs. Patrick Guinness, the daughter-in-law of Mrs. Loel Guinness; Princess Alexandra of Kent, a cousin of Queen Elizabeth II of Britain, and one of Europe's most eligible fe males. It is Alexandra's sec ond appearance on the annual list, where her mother, the Duchess of Kent, has ap peared regularly; Mrs. John Barry Ryan III, New York, a former fashion magazine editor; Mrs. David K. Bruce, Wash- Intgon, wife of the veteran diplomat who is slated to be next U.S. Ambassador to tne Court of St. James's; Mrs. Stavros Niarchos, of Paris and New York, wife of the Greek shipping magnate, dressed chiefly by Dior; And Queen Sirikit of Thai land, who wears Oriental or Western clothes with equal ability. She was the only other wife of a head of state to make the list, although in other years wives of presi dents, queens and other roy alty have been voted in. Fashion Hall of Fame Four more women moved up to nan ot iame simus with the ballots in they get to this permanent, non-competitive rank if they have ap peared on the regular Desi- dressed list three or more years. Elevated to nail 01 iame in IflBO were the Duchess of Kent, the actress Merle Obe ron (Mrs. Bruno Pagalai), Princess Grace of Monaco, and Mine. Arturo Lopez-Wlll-shaw, a Chilean now living in Paris. Twelve other women al ready are hall of famers and include Mrs. Henry Ford II, Mrs. Winston Guest, the Duchess of Windsor, Mrs. Wil liam Randolph Hearst Jr.. Mrs. William Paley, and Queen Elizabeth II. The couture group commit tee said voting in I960 was usually varied, which led it to issue an additional list of women "whose exceptional fashion leadership without ostentation or extravagance place them high . . ." This group includes Mrs. Samuel I. Newhouse, wife of the newspaper and magazine owner; Rosalind Russell and Marlenc Dietrich, tne ac tresses; Margo Fonteyn, the British ballerina, Princess Margaret of Great Britain, and Queen Frederica of Greece.

Social Events Women's News Indonesian Student Talks For Yreka Women's Society Yreka - Miss Marrie Dhar- mobroto, Indonesian exchange student attending Yreka High school, talked for the woman's Society of Christian Service, Yreka Methodist church, Janu ary 3 at the church. Miss Dharmobroto, intro duced by Mrs. Tom Dicken son, American Field Service representative for this area, is from the central section of Java. She wore the native dress and typical hair-do of her country. Describing Indonesian life. the student told of the neces sity of shopping every day for fruits, vegetable and meat since there is no refrigeration. She described the large mar kets' where farmers display their produce on long tables. Miss Dharmobroto said laundry is done by hand, and that gas, wood and coal are the fuels used. Temperatures in Java range from 65 to 95 degrees, she explained, and added that she was having difficulty in adjusting to a climate where bedding is necessary for warmth. Teenagers of Java are much the same as in this country, the speaker said, only it is not customary to have dates earlier than 16 years. They dance the rock- and-roll and attend movies showing American films. From these people form opin ions of what America is like, the speaker said, and added that she finds the United States somewhat different from the impression formed from the movies. Schools in that section of Java begin at 7:30 a.m. and end at 1 p.m., the student said, and there is much home work. School Is six days a week and girls are not allow ed to wear makeup or wear sleeveless dresses. The people cook Just once a day in a kitchen which is a separate unit of the home, and GET ROLLING!

Home Economist Advises On Buying of Bed Linen With the arrival of January comes the traditional "white sales" of sheets, pillowcases, and other bedding. For those in need of additional linen supplies this if an economical time to buy says Mrs. Lee Sheehan, county extension agent for home economics. Certain Information may be of help in making a selection. Price usually goes up with the thread count. Low thread count muslins are the least expensive; high thread count percales are the most expen sive. Laboratory tests snow that muslins are as durable as percales, but are not as smooth In appearance and feel. Testa also support the general conclusion that 140 thread count muslins arc the most durable cotton sheets sold and are likely to outwear all other types. When paying more for per cales, you are buying the smooth feel and appearance that this closely woven ma terial offers, rather than a longer wearing time. Sheets sold as "seconds are also good buys for many times the flaws can barely be detected. One point to keep in mind, however, is to check for slub yarns or raised threads in the center portion of the sheet where the wear is concentrated. Fitted Sheets Today we have many fitted sheets on the market, too. These have gained wide popu larity since they save time and effort in the daily task of bed making. Fitted sheets are easy to launder and need no iron ing; the wrinkles stretch out and a very comfortable sleep- BOWL for FUN, GOOD HEALTH o and Sociability Man Tries To Thousands of By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York -UPD- Any time the man of the house com plains that he'll never under stand women, tell him about the plight of Tom Graham. G r a h a m's job is trying to understand, to encourage, supervise and often act as father - confes sor to not one Gr Pauley woman, but 70,000 females. The jovial Mr. G, is a mar ried man in his 40s, isn't sure how well he understands them yet, but he has survived eight years of being surrounded by women in his role as vice president of the Kelly Girl Service, Inc., specialists in providing white collar help on a temporary basis. "Sometimes," said Graham in an interview, "I take the advice of one of my regional managers. He said watch for problems during the full of the moon." Biggest All-Girl Firm His firm, with headquar ters in Detroit, is one of sev eral organizations in the fair ly new field of providing temporary workers for busi ness and industry. Kelly is the largest all-girl organiza tion, he said, with 70,000 women on its payroll. Temporary help differs from part-time help, Graham explained, because a woman can be on a temporary assign ment from one week to sev eral months, and then take as much time at home as she wants before she reports ready for another job. Part time is a permanent arrange ment. The U.S. Labor Department estimates that women make up 60 per cent of the nation's part-time labor force. Graham said it was hard to estimate the number of wo men temporaries, but the sup ply certainly grows each year as housewives especially find they can pick their jobs and work at their convenience. Mutt Be Adaptable Most employers find tem porary help fully productive, he said, "because they don't stay around long enough to ing surface is provided. They differ from flat sheets in one performance characteristic -they are preshrunk and stabil ized against further shrink age. . Some homemakers have a problem with folding a fitted sheet, but the method can be simple with a flat easily fold ed sheet as a result. First, fold the sheet In half, cupping the two corners inside the other two corners. Then fold in a quarter again fitting or cup ping the corners inside each other. By this time, the sheet is in a small enough size so it can easily be laid out on top --K . .if j ma irirtffl Vrrrr ; HI z mi t L 6 i I .a. Understand Women pick up the bad habits of the regular office force . . . the long coffee break . . . the hours using the telephone for personal calls." But he conceded some wo men were not cut out for the type of job. "The-woman has to be able to adapt quickly to moving from one assignment to another," said Graham. "If she's the type who wants to do everything her way, she will have trouble." The average woman with his organization is 37 'i years old, is married, has two chil dren, and may work at 10 different jobs during a year. The age range is from 18 to 78, with quite a few women over 65 enrolled. "We judge on ability and personality," said Graham, "not on age." Job Wins Movie Contract Graham said the most fre quent customers for tempor ary white collar help are in surance, automotive, petro leum, food and drug, and banking businesses. But his firm has supplied help to UN missions, to the U.S. govern ment, and to numerous celeb rities ranging from Elsa Max well to Tennessee Williams. An assignment at the home of actress Jeanette MacDonald led to a movie contract for Susan Kelly, 22, of Seminole, Okla. She originally had moved to Los Angeles to be come a teacher, but through Miss MacDonald met a direct or who gave her a screen test, put here in a television series, and now has cast her in a movie role. "We also seem to run a regular matrimonial bureau," said Graham. "Most of our women are already married, but those single ones . . . well you know how it is around an office. The new girl is the one the men look over. We've had a few who nabbed the boss's son, and I don't know how many babies are named for us."
