No clean sweep , . . no major overhaul." Mrs. Parish, who has work ed with Mrs. John F. Kenne dy on decorating projects for the past four years, said that the new First Lady is a wom an of "simple tastes who wants to create a home . . . She wants actually to trans plant the home she now has to the White House, because it represents their way of life." The decorator was talking of the Georgetown house where the Kennedys now live -a home furnished in French antiques of various periods, except for her husband's bed room which is predominantly 18th century English. Mrs. Parish said she had helped Mrs. Kennedy do the Georgetown house, given her a hand at the residence in Hyannis Port, Mass., where the furnishings are early American, and also would be helping with the decoration of the country estate the cou ple has rented at Middleburg, Va. The latter, she described as old and full of chann wc'll do it in comfortable country style." Mrs. Parish said the family quarters - including private sitting, dining and bedrooms are on the second floor of the White House She snid that Mrs. Kennedy plans to add many of the accessories she has collected through the years - "some lovely cigarette boxes, some old French drawings." All the furnishings arc antiques Ihe second floor nursery for Caroline Kennedy, 3, will be done in pink and while The one for baby, .lohn F.

Kennedy, back from a Florida rest, today found her Georgetown home a beehive of activity with fitters, mov ers, and secretaries coming and going. The President-elect's wife plunged into the home work that had to be done after her five-week stay in Palm Beach. She said she would be spend ing most of the day going through the family's personal belongings to see what should go to the White House. Movers also were on hand to pack the linens, china and glassware she has gathered with a collector's eye over her years of married life.

The gown, designed by Oleg Cassini, has a simple round neckline and bodice and a modified full skirt. Mrs. Kennedy still is not prepared to adopt her first lady role full-scale. She feels she needs more rest and is passing up a number of pre inaugural receptions to take in only the main events. She has stayed out , of crowds, and away from people in general since she gave birth by Caesarian section to her son, John F. Jr., on November 25. Organize Family Quarters Mrs. Kennedy has put first on her agenda the problem of getting the White House fam ily quarters organized and her family reunited.

We can't remember that there was this much fuss and feathers about clothing for other presidential inaugurations in recent years, but perhaps we have merely forgotten. At any rate, the UPI telepholo machine has brought in sketches of the gowns Mrs. John F. Kennedy will wear tonight and tomorrow night for formal functions being given in con nection with her husband's inauguration. A reproduction of the gown to be worn tomorrow night for the Inaugural Balls appears on this page. It would seem that Mrs. Kennedy has a strong liking for white, because all three formal gowns described arc in that color. Or it may be that she has been advised to wear white because it will accent her presence in the midst of large groups just as the white-clad figure of a bride is always con spicuous among the wedding guests. Queen Elizabeth of England and most royal women wear white, light or bright colors in the evening for this reason. ' Tonight Mrs. Kennedy will attend the Inaugural Gala and will wear a gown of white ottoman, a corded silk, described as having an "elegant sedate look." Mrs. Ken nedy designed her Inaugural Ball gown, but Oleg Cassini has designed the remainder of Mrs. Kennedy's wardrobe. The Gala gown has a "bodice gently fitted to the figure and the modest, high neckline gently encircles the throat. The gown has a modified full skirt with pleats at the waist front. The only ornamentation is a white coccarde (a fabric rosette) worn to the side above the waistline. A feature of the gown is a gracefully curved back panel sweeping to the floor." The only other of Mrs. Kennedy's new formal gowns already described by UPI is also white a straight, extremely plain and simple white gown with a small bow at the waist as its only ornamentation. According to the Washington Post, Cassini has said that "The President (to be) wants Mrs. Kennedy to present a completely dignified picture. After she is First Lady, she will never appear in public in pants, and certainly never will be photographed wearing them." Perhaps the wish ot a Portand newspaperman will be answered. He broke into print saying that, since Mrs. Ken nedy is having such an impact on American fashion, he hoped that it would be on the side of quiet, good taste. Now, if she could influence the younger generation to the point that they would quit going out In public with their hair in hideous pin curls, this reporter will be very happy Indeed. Eizabcth Arden designed the gowns to be worn to the Inaugural Ball by three sisters ot the President-elect, and his sister-in-law, Mrs. Robert Kennedy. Mrs. Peter Lawford, the former Patricia Kennedy, will also wear white silk. Her gown has a columnar look and a short train. The gown's bodice is richly embroidered In rhinestoiu'S and silver beads. Mrs. Stephen Smith, the former Jean Kennedy, chose a pink-mauve satin, redingote style with flaring skirt which opens over an underskirt of satin richly embroidered with crystal beads, silver threads and brilliant.';. Mrs. Robert Kennedy selected a gown of strapless design made of pink satin witli overall embroidery of silver (lowers. The flock's simple lines are accented by bow detail at the bodice. Mrs. Sargent Shriver, the former Eunice Kennedy, chose the most elaborate gown of ali, according to the sketch. It is of orange-flame chiffon, with strapless bodice, intriciately draped skirt closely-fitted to the knees and flared below, with a floating back panel. But back to Designer Cassini. lie says that Mrs. Ken nedy is particularly keen to emphasize the fact that she is "American-dressed." "She will be the inspiration source that will make the American Look something special, dif ferent from the former misli-mash of French ideas re worked here. Mrs. Kennedy has her own very American style and 1 will help her to have clothes to suit it. The Kennedy Look is there and I predict that every major French and Italian designer will be influenced by that look." Oleg Cassini. although an American designer, is of Rus sian descent. His brother, Ipor', is the society columnist, Cholly Knickcrbrockcr. His mother. Countess Marguerite Cassini, is the daughter of a prominent figure at the court of the last Czar of Russia, Mrs. Murray Gardiner, the onlv Medford woman we know who owns an Oleg Cassini gown, said the other dSy llnat she as happy that she had purchased one before , Ihe. designer became so famous. "Now the prices ot his j gowns will be so extravagantly high that I will never be table to afford another," she said. OS, LPenney's FRIDAY SATURDAY Stock Up Now! SAVE!
