14 A
Alley Art Show Revived;
To Be Part Of Festival
The Ashcan School of Fine
.Arts isn't one of those hit and
run deals. It's here to stay.
'This "school" sponsored an
rAIley Art show last year that
fwaa such a whopping success
'it even Impressed the Med
,ford Chamber of Commerce
and the Pear Blossom Festival
committee.
J As a result, the second an
nual Alley Art show will be
'held as a Pear Blossom Fes
tival event. The show will be
iin thi! same alley, the area
'back of the Goldy building,
Jthe United States Bank build
ing and Woolworth's store, on
Saturday, April 28. ,
J This being an election year,
,the show is to have a political
tinge. A Political Action com
'mittee has been announced
.end will present a "Candi
date's Un-Fair Fair."
f Here, politics is tinged with
j the mercenary, because the
candidates will be charged an
'entry fee to hang cartoons of
themselves. But the sponsors
i-want the art patrons to enjoy
themselves, too. Here's what
'they have to say:
"Come enjoy the art show

President and Mrs. Kennedy, it seems, caused consider
able of a ferment in Washington when they ignored tradi
tion for the state reception given
of the Congress and their wives. As far back as anyone
.could remember, state dinners and receptions have always
been "white tie" parties except those given during the
hottest summer weeks.
i- But when the Invitations went out for the 1962 party,
the words in the lower lefthand corner read "Black Tie."
According to a clipping from the Washington Sunday Star,
which Evelyn Durno, wife of Congressman Edwin Durno
sent along to Potpourri, this set the wives to humming in
the capital.
The Star columnist, Betty Beale wrote that not In the
memory of the man with longest association with the White
House social office has a dinner jacket been designated
s proper dress for a state function In the evening in cool
weather. Her authoirty was Adrian Tolley, who, she wrote,
"was sent over on loan simply to address the Invitations
to the wedding of President Woodrow Wilson and Mrs.
Edith Boiling Gait. He was supposed to be there two weeks,
but stayed 45 years."
Mr. Tolly declared that Kennedy's "black tie" recep
tion was completely brand new. "It has never been done
before for any state dinner during cool weather certainly
never in my time
During hot
House functions was assumed
and black tie. However. Miss
ner jackets made from summerweiaht black material are
replacing the white ones.
As might have been expected, some were happy over
the change, and others weren't. Miss Beale asked a number
of women about their reaction. The wife of a prominent
Democratic senator said she didn't like the change and that
many of her friends didn't.
tnat we respect our White House as much as the English
respect tneir palace," she said. "I Just like to be formal
when I go to the White House."
Another Democratic wife said she thought It was Just
that the Kennedys like Informality. She pointed out that
In previous administrations, guests smoked only in the room
where after-dinner coffee was served. Now, White House
guests may smoke in any room and at the dinner table. She
expressed disfavor of the Idea. Still a third said she plan
ned to Ignore the "Black Tie" Instructions and wear a long
gown and long white gloves.
But when Miss Beale called the wives of Republican
senators, they said they were in favor of informality. One
Republican spouse said her husband detested formal attire,
Und that she preferred short dresses to long. "We went to the
last dinner they had and we were served cocktails first and
we could smoke during dinner. I was simply amazed. You
don't feel so stiff; you feel more relaxed. I rather think it's
nice."
' Who decided all this? According to the White House, it
was the President. Probably he doesn't like to dress up in
formal evening clothes.
It was also reported that the
of addressing the invitations, which caused comment. How
ever, this turned out to be a form which had been used In
the past-Miss Beale pointed out that Mrs. K. is keen about
the authenticity of the past and suggested that perhaps the
"Black Tie" reception might have some precedent in the
far past.
And what do the Durnos think? Mrs. D. wrote that they
were pleased with the change, since Congressman Durno
doesn't own the "white tie and tails" clothing and must per
force rent the outfit, which is customary In the capital, but
which he considered a great nuisance.
She ended her note by saying that they planned to be
home for Easter.
Mrs. Kennedy's wardrobe is always good for headlines.
Earlier this month a four-member panel met In Philadelphia
to discuss "what makes a best-dressed woman" and decided
that whatever it Is, Mrs. Kennedy doesn't have it.
The forum was sponsored by the Philadelphia Museum
College of Art. John Moore told women attending the third
annual fashion forum that Mrs. Kennedy, who has twice led
uie list ot best-dressed women
irom ner sister, Princess Stanislas Radziwlll.
Mr. Moore was quoted by
rrinccss Kadziwill is always immaculate. She frequents
French dress houses and her clothes are well-lined. They
hang beautifully. Her hair is flatteringly styled tor her face,
and her shoes suit her legs."
About Mrs. Kennedy. Mr. Moore said: "Her clnthrs ore
Ill-fitted. In photographs I have seen they are pulled and
twisted, which would not happen if they titled her properly.
Her skirts are much too short, her feet are too big for that
type of shoe and she has a big face far too much hair."
Clare Potter, another fashion designer, is quoted as say
ing, "I agree."
A third member of the panel, Kenneth Lane, a shoe de
signer for Christian Dior, said that Mrs. Kennedy has done
a great deal for fashion and he believes she dresses well.
However, he added that she should forget some of her own
style preferences, such as short skirts, and bow to public
preference while she is the President's wife.
"Princess Margaret is much better dressed for her posi
tion," he was quoted.
Lone dissenter on the panel was Designer Tina Leser. She
aid "I don't think our First Lady should be criticized."
. .
Practical Pal Peg, who has a sharp eye for finances, taxes,
the nation's economy and that sort of thing, wondered while
Mrs. Kennedy was abroad If she would pay customs duty on
articles she purchased and on gifts. According to a recent
UPI dispatch, she will pay duty on the horse presented to
her by President Mohammed Ayub Khan of Pakistan. The
duty will amount to 7'i per cent of the horse's appraised
value. O.S.
