Instead, said her decorator,
Mrs. Henry Parish II, "there
will be a quiet moving in of
the first family's personal
things. 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. Jr..
she snid, would "be typical
of a little boy's room in any
other home.

Activity
By HELEN THOMAS
United Press International
.Washington-(UPl)-Mrs. John
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.
Final Gown Fittings
Slender 31-year-old Jacque
line Kennedy, known for her
fashion sense, today will try
on for final fittings tfie white
silk ottoman gown which she
will wear tonight to the full-
dress concert and spectacular
inaugural gala.
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.

Mrs. Kennedy has put first
on her agenda the problem of
getting the White House fam

family reunited.

daughter Caroline and infant
son was sad to her although
she had prepared Caroline by
telling her she was going to

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,
