UPI Womtn't Editor
New York IUPD "Being 1
fashion leader," laid Mrs.
John F. 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

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

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-

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

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."
