Superstitious Milliners
Fret About Pins, Needles
By GAY PAULEY
UPI Womin'i Editor
New York (UPD-When mil
linery designers say they're
on pins and needles, they
could be talking either about
tension before the opening of
PTi'iSSP1 lnelr ncw c0'-
1 1 1 e c t i o n s or
about super-
stitions which
pervade their
w o r k r ooms.
Hal designers
are among the
most supersti
tious nprenne
1 1 - '
Him n i in the apparel
uy riuity industry for
some reason. None of them
can explain why.
But several, as they worked
on their fall and winter de
signs to be shown to buyers
and the press in early July,
took time to list some of the
good and bad luck symbols
of their trade.
Almost all agreed that a
box of pins dropped on the
floor means a good sales sea
son. A hat dropped on the

Show Slated
A varied selection of paint
ings will be shown during
the Greenwich Village Art
show to be sponsored by the
Southern Oregon Society of
Artists Saturday, July 14
from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. in
(he Medford Library park on
West Main street.
In addition io entries by
members and other valley
artists, members of the Senior
Activity center and the Pros
pect Art association will have
paintings on display.
During a meeting of the
society June 27 Mr. and Mrs.
Raymond Vandervalle of
Frames Etc., Ashland, lectur
ed on the art of framing
paintings. They demonstrated
several different ways of
framing one picture to show
the effects which can be
achieved.
Visitors were Mrs. Maynard
Legacy, Mrs. George Callo
way, Mrs. John Miller and
Mrs. Jack Phillips, Medford.
Mrs. Todd Thayne, Central
Point, and Mrs. James Mow
rey. Gold Hill, applied for

floor also will be a hit. But
put a hat on a chair and no
matter how attractive it is,
it's a flop at the sales counter.
"1 nearly faint when 1 see
someone put a hat on a
chair," said Mrs. Sally Vic
tor. Mrs. Victor also opens
all of her fashion shows with
a gray hat, because her first
hit collection began with that
color. She also rips apart an
old hat for the makings of at
least one new one in her col
lection. Bad Luck Sign
Mr. Fred, head of John
Fredericks, believes peacock
feathers on a hat bring bad
luck. The color green is evil.
To try on a hat backwards is
bad luck. And one pin left in
a hat after it is sewn, means
the customer will return the
hat.
To Mr. John, if the scam
stress sticks her finger with
a needle the customer who
buys the hat will be married
soon.
The designer Mr. Arnold
holds that if the women in
the workroom toss pins at the
designer before the opening
of a collection, this will bring
good luck, like throwing
rice at a wedding. If a de
signer buys a new scissors,
this means he or she will be
in the business seven more
years.
Success Omen
To designer Emme, the sale
of an original model means it
must be duplicated before the
original leaves the salon or
that particular style never
will be successful.
Several milliners believe
that a threaded needle never
should be passed from one
seamstress to the next without
its first being placed in a pin
cushion. Relaying the needle
directly means the breaking
of friendship.
Don Marshall, who was a
theatrical designer before he
turned to hat making, doesn't
like to hear whistling in the
workrooms. This, he said, is
like the actor's not believing
in whistling in a dressing
room, because it brings bad
luck.
To Marshall, the box of
pins dropped on the floor
means a rush of orders, and
to the girls in his workrooms,
a pair of scissors dropped
with the point toward one
means a pink slip in her pay
envelope, as superstition goes.

Ihemselves to learn what
they're leaching their off
spring. How adults talk about
their jobs influences the way
a youngster feels about his
first Job. As parents, she asks,
do you talk about how you've
gotten by with little effort?
Do you emphasize the quick
instead of the best way of do
ing a Job? Do you show re
spect for your employer and
responsibility for your job by
pulling in a full day's work?
As you visit with your
youngster about his work,
help him lo see his responsi
bilities to his employer, sug
gests Mrs. f'rasier. If you plan
a family vacation mention
this to the employer when the
youngster is hired. If he's
working on an hourly basis or
expected at a certain hour,
help him get to work on time.
Parents should see to it that
needs of young sprouts are
met with regular meals, plen
ty of rest and some time for
fun. Their physical needs are
great as teenagers she empha
sizes. Boys grow an average
of 4 and S inches a year; girls
1 stretch up about II inches.
A major aim of parents is to
help a child develop a good
feeling about himself so as he
matures he'll feel good toward
others, says Mrs. Frazier. This
is why it's Important, she con
tinues, for a youngster lo suc
ceed at his first job.
Parents should be familiar
with (he job so they know the
youngster is capable of doing
il. Adults sometimes labor un
der a false assumptions-pushing
a child Into a job early in
life will develop his Initiative
to be industrious. Pushing too
hard loo early may do just the
opposite discourage initiative.
Another important memo lo
parents-not all children are
ready lo work at the same age.
A couple of sixteen year olds
may differ greatly in their
abilities lo hold down the
same job.
Mrs. Frazier emphasizes
tuning a sensitive ear toward
youngslers' reactions as they
come and go from Iheir Jobs.
If your youngster suddenly re
sists going to work, try to find
nut whal he's feeling. Some
have upsetting experiences on
the Job, and forcing them back
to work may be a mistake.

It gives them a chance to
place-drop with playmates
who place-dropped about va
cations in Bermuda, Mexico
and Puerto Rico.
The toddler in our house
mended the injury to his
psyche by place - dropping
playmates last winter by tell
ing them recently he was go
ing south and west for his
vacation.
He place-dropped for a
week before taking off for
what he considers the garden
spot of America - Pittsburgh,
Pa.
"It is always warm down
south in Pittsburgh," he an
nounced at the sand box. "It
isn't as west as it used to be
since the Indians left. But
they have Pirates."
The five-year old spent a
day packing for his trip to
the south and west of West
port, Conn. A check of his
gear proved that clothes cer
tainly don't make the toddler
sized male.
Toys and happiness and se
curity objects do!
Included in the latter, trans
ported for the annual vacation
to grandparent's house; child's
pillow, his little blue blanket,
pictures of the dog and one
picture from the wall.
Toys included 20 books in
a flight bag and pieces from
as many puzzles; a cowboy hat
from Texas, a fireman's hat,
a police badge, a Colonel
Glenn souvenir button that
doubles as the badge for a
Canadian Mounted Police dis
guise. And fleets of things with
wheels - a tractor that he
rides, a dozen small cars,
trucks, ambulances.
He was talked out of taking
his record player and records.
He was talked into taking a
dress suit, a rain coat and
pajamas.
He also left instructions to
keep the home fires warm, at
least.
Poor, suffering mother was
instructed to:
