Kennedy in Washington, and the society gals of The Tribune were happy to be able to print pictures Sunday of a few of the women who will be a part of the festivities. If any one wondered why we didn't use a picture of the new First Lady wearing one of her official gowns, it is because we didn't have any. Presumably, Mrs. Kennedy is not posing for any pictures in advance we'll just have to wait until the various events come along and hope that the camera men don't concentrate on Mr. important men, and forget the women. The wire photo machine has brought "sketches" of some of the gowns she presumably pretty poor substitute for a especially if Mrs. Kennedy is The descriptions which field's picture, and those of Mrs. Lyndon. Johnson and her daughters, caused Potpourri and Pal Peg to go into huddle over the dictionary. One said "coupe de velour" and the other "coup de velour." Neither of us had ever heard of the material, and the dictionary was little help. We read that "coup" meant to turn upside down, or a blow, and that "coupe is a type of car, but what help was that as far as the material for a formal gown went? Our fashion dic tionary listed no such fabric but did give the information that "velour" is French for fine print brought out that coupe is also a French word with one of the meanings being "to cut." So, we decided to add the "e", reasoning that the fabric was "cut velvet." That all happened Saturday. Sunday night we were thrown into confusion to find that our home dictionary con tradicts our office dictionary, and says that "coup" means to cut. We give up. Perhaps some to our rescue. ' Before Congressman and Mrs. Dump left for Washington, we asked Mrs. Durno to pose for. a picture, and suggested that she wear a formal gown, possibly the one she would wear to the inaugural ball. Mrs. Durno said that probably they would not attend, and after hearing that tickets were $25 each, and would go to pay the debt which the Democrats had incurred during the campaign, we agreed with the Med ford couple. After all, why should a Republican congressman who has just completed an expensive campaign contribute $50 to the opposing party? Later we read that the Democrats esti mate their campaign deficit at about three million dollars, and hope to make that much on the various inauguration festivities. . .' Somehow, the whole process annoys us. Both parties do this, of course, but it still seems wrong. A look at the official list of inaugural activities shows that tickets for the reception honoring the Vice President-Eleet and Mrs. Johnson are $5 each; a reception planned by the Young Democrats costs $8 a ticket; tickets for a concert run from $5 to $125 for boxes seating five; tickets for a Democratic gala are $100 each; the official inauguration ceremony is by invitation only and if we. remember correctly, Mrs. Durno said that they had received numerous requests from Democrats asking for the new congressman's tickets if he was not going to use them. The list goes on tickets through $25 for box seats opposite the reviewing stand; boxes for the balls are $320 for one seating 8 persons. We've often been accused when it comes to politics. Be see the late Senator Neuberger s idea put into practice that of a national taxi for politics, with the funds distributed equally to the parties. O.S. Spring Dresses Knees, Necks By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York -IUPD- Methinks that men shall never see, so many women displaying knees-as they will this spring and summer. Hemlines on the new clothes move to heights not reached since the flapper era of the 1920s or World War II days when government restrictions limited the cloth which could be used in a garment. Naked knees are just part of the bareness trend. Dresses are more often sleeveless than not. Necklines on daytime dresses bare the collarbone. By evening, they are as de mure as a Las Vegas show girl. Coats and suits are col larless and in many cases have sleeves above the elbow to as sure a chilly Easter Parade. All of which, of course, adds up to happy news for the professional girl watchers. It is hard to place the hem line at a specific number of Inches from the floor. In this week's previews of the new fashions, a semi-annual event sponsored for visiting report ers by the New York couture group, they range anywhere from 17 to 19 Inches. "Nothing" Dress Featured The "nothing" dress - a pared-down sheath both sleeveless, collarless and short ts it this season. , Some designers to provide covering in the forms of capes and stoles, an apparent concession to summer air-conditioning of homes, restau rants and offices. Sylvia Kaplan, designer for Nat Kaplan, a New York man ufacturer, provided the gen darme capo In a series of wool plaids-a cape short, flared and fastening at the side like that of the French policeman. David Kidd, designer for Arthur Jablow, provided cape coals in street length over nothing' dresses. Most of Kidd's coats were straight, boxy, and collarless. Sleeves were wide and slashed off at the elbow and above. Highlights of other collec tions shown Tuesday: Dr. A. M.

Several one-piece dresses got a two piece look with simulated bo leros. - Junior Sophisticates - De signer Anne Kein introduced the mannish tailored jacket, in worsted menswear, with pleated skirt. Navy, white and pink were the predominant colors. Chemise Style ' Townley - Designer Donald Brooks liked the looks of chemise-style dresses with nei ther collar nor sleeves. The chemise came usually with op tional belt, sash or long pip ing tie. Some slim dresses came with tie-on apron over skirts. George Carmel - A fitted away jacket and pleated swing skirt were Carmel's major offering for spring. Done in a hot pink wool, light in weight, one such suit button ed to conceal a short-sleeved, tuck-in blouse of pink slick geometrical print that match ed the lining of the jacket. Jane Derby-To her "always Navy" fling for spring, the designer added gray flannel suits. The famous Derbv "party pants" look fancy as a ball gown with their strap less tops and fabulous fab rics. One pair of the formal trousers, priced at $395, was made of two-Inch rows of pleated white lace.

Kennedy move into the White House Friday they will be living in a virtually "Im perishable" mansion. Lorenzo S Winslow, former White House architect, said that after the 19.49-1952 ren novation of the historic build ing, he told then President Truman, "This (home) will last 500 years." Winslow, who considers the White House now to be "al most bombproof," was inter viewed by the National Asso ciation of Home Builders on the changes that have been made In and about the Execu tive Mansion in the 19 years he was associated with it and knew "every foot" of the building and its grounds. . He said that Mr. Kennedy will have a far more attractive view through the windows whert he calls his Cabinet into session than did President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the first days after he took office. Laundry Shop "Then," Winslow said, "the laundry shop was located in an outside corner that could be seen from the Cabinet room -and sometimes towels were flapping on a line by the laun dry shop." He explained that the bulk of the White House laundry was sent out, but small pieces were washed and hung by the laundry, shop. He added, "they tried to conceal it (the wash) behind some shrubbery, but you could see it." A present White House aide expressed amazement and some doubt that laundry ever was hung where it could be seen from the Cabinet room. A clerk who has been there since 1930 said he could not remember "such a thing." Winslow, rechecked on the issue, said emphatically, "Well, I remember it." He pointed out that the laundry shop and some adjacent shops were torn down very soon after Mr. Roosevelt took of fice and the White House swimming pool was built where they had been. Controversial Balcony Winslow indicated he hopes Mr. Kennedy will use the so called Truman balcony, which kicked up a story of contro versy when it was built dur ing the renovation 10 years ago. "The balcony," Winslow said, "is one place where a President can walk in the fresh air without being sur rounded by Secret Service men. He can sit there or he can walk and he can be alone." The architect said the bal cony would be a safe place for the Kennedys' small children, Caroline, 3, and John F. Jr., born in late November. He pointed out that the balcony has a high railing. ' iheres good walking or playing space on the balcony," Winslow said, "for it is some thing like 15 feet wide and 30 feet long. It's right - off the President's study." The White House was a "shaky old firetrap" before its nearly $6,000,000 restoration. according to Winslow. The de cision to renovate it came after the floors started sag ging and the then Margaret Truman's piano sank slightly over cracking floor timbers and the East Room celling be gan shedding plaster dust.
