1962 Fashion Changes
Accent Slim Waistline
By GAY PULEY
UPI Women's Editor
New York - (UPI) - Now that
the line has settled from the
scurry of fashion previews,
let's take a look at planning
of next fall's wardrobe.
Start with thesj assump
tionsi
-You do want some new
clothes. Buying some thing
new is a lift for most women.
And clothes do wear out.
-Even as you shop for the
new, you'll want to save -both
for reasons of economy
and fondness -many gar
ments from previous seasons.
-The fashion changes for
1962 are so subtle that many
of last year's and the years
before clothes can be adapted
readily to 1062.
-You ought to lose five
pounds you've put on since
last fall just to make matters
easier for your seamstress or
yourself as remodelcr. For
the new clothee put a lot
more accent on waistline
than those of previous sea
eons. Now is the time for the
wardrobe check. I know, it's
still July, and you won't
need fall things before Sep
tember. But pretty soon it'll
be time to shop L getting
the kids back to school
vacations will be over
the pace of living will have
hurried until it's be time for
a warm wool dress before you
can say Olcg Cassini.
Subtle Changes
The fashion changes are
subtle, as the experts call
'em. But they're mighty no
ticeable when you try on last
season's clothes against the
new ones. Like hemlines.
Technically, they're station
ary. But bet when you try
on a dress from fall I960 or
1961, you'll "feel" It's too
long. Haul it up another half
inch. ......
Take sleeve3. They're com
ing down. I there is any
fabric to spare on coats and
suits, let the sleeves out to
the maximum because the
new lengih is wristbonc. Or,
on dresses, you're safe In re
moving the' sleeves - pro
vided there is a coordinated
jacket or coat to provide pro
tection, Sleeveless dresses
are a big item for fall '62.
Now, as for the waistline,
It's pretty difficult to re
model one of the high-riding
empires from a season ago
into the new, normal fit. But
certainly you can add a belt
to one of the semi-fits which
have been high style.
Make the belt a four or
five-ineher or crushable kid
or suede. Wide belts make a
strong return. If you're still
the owner of one of the
"blousons" - those blouscd
back dresses - cut the fullness
out and make the bodice fit
ted. Get your seamstress to
eliminate some of the petti
coats and yardage from any
bouffant skirted party dresses
you own. Cocktail dresses
are slimmed down consider
ably; evening dresses all are
skinny.
Tired of the traditional
three or four skin fur scurf
of, say, marten? Yet your fur
rier to re-do it, separating the
skins and turning each into a
boa for wear with collarlcss,
simply cut coat or suit.
This'll leave you with extra
boas to give to your sister
and best girl friend to wear
the same way. The fur muf
fler is big for fall.

POTPOURRI
Steamboat Island, July 23 From where we sit in front of
a huge picture window we have a marvellous view of an
arm of Puget Sound with majestic Ml. Rainier in the dis
tance. It is a peaceful and beautiful sight. However, the
island shore and that across on the mainland aren't really
very peaceful. At the resort on the mainland a crew is oiling
a large parking area and down at the water's edge a noisy
tractor is busy unloading gravel from an enormous barge.
From the dock in front of our hosts' summer home can
be seen a large number of boats and water skiers are racing
hither and yon. On week ends in the summer the water is
usually covered with boats of all manner for in this area
of thousands of miles of water ways, practically everyone
owns a boat of some sort.
We've been coming to Steamboat Island for many years.
We've watched rowboats with little outboard motors, gravel
roads and small, rough cabins and cottages give way to
bigger boats with powerful motors, freeways and surfaced
highways replace the dustry, narrow roads and the liny
cabins with few conveniences have become, in so..rt in
stances, largish, comfortable places with electric stoves
and heal, bathrooms, dishwashers and garbuge disposal units.
Indeed, Brother-in-law Henry says that more and more resi
dents of Olympia and other nearby towns live the year
around in their homes which look out on the water, and
commute to their Jobs quickly by car over the modern roads.
The speeding automobile certainly has changed the lives
and habits of working Americans.
Pack Rat Tendency Said
Strong Among Americans
By SHELLEY SINGER
Chicago-lUPII-The pack rat
tendency is strong among
Americans. The symptoms are
accumulation of everything
from outgrown baby clothes
to antique armor.
A survey of household stor
age practices of city families
confirms that Americans not
only buy more personal and
household articles than ever
before, but they also keep
them longer.
One of the reasons for such
accumulation is practicality.
As one young mother put it;
"After baby number three
came, and we already had
given ' all of our nursery
things away, I learned my
lesson."
Bridge Scores

In Spokane last Saturday we heard on all sides how wonder
ful it was for the weather to be really warm. Stores and
plant-selling places still had annuals on sale the weather
had been so cool that gardeners were not inspired to buy
and plant, we were told. We helped daughter and her
husband choose material for a planter in his studio in their
new home. The room is very interesting. The upper part of
the walls they covered with rough, white fabric put on with
a thin glue-like stuff. The lower part they painted a warm
brown, and strips of birch moulding separate the two.

Hobby Collectors
Eighteen per cen' of those
polled said they are hobby
collectors. Items ranged from
the usual stamps, coins and
china cups to antique armor
and historic newspapers.
Most people are not sure
why they save what they do.
Habitual savers cited reasons
ranging from the chances of
war, inflation and unemploy
ment to strictly personal
whims.
Women say men are the
household "savers," and men
agree.
When it comes to who
saves what, 76 per cent of the
women polled said men lead
in number of articles accumu
lated. They said women may
keep a few sentimental trin
kets, but are ruthless when
weeding out useless family
possessions.
Men 'Thrifty'
The men polled said it is
true they save more, bul de
scribed their habits as
"thrifty." "economical'' and
"prudent."
The pollsters found general
agreement that the family ac

of marriage, when the chil
dren are growing and attend
ing school, and during moves

President's Mother Grants
Interview at White House
(Editor's Notei President
Kennedy's mother, who ii
actinir as official White
House hostess, hat granted
United Press International
one of her rare interviews.
Following is an account of
the interview, on a wide
range of tubjecii close to
her heart.)
By HELEN THOMAS
Washington -UPU- President
Kennedy's mother. Rose, who
resents wisecracks about po
litical dynasties, said today
she would campaign to help
her youngest son, Ted, win a
Senate seat in Massachusetts.
The 72-year-old Mrs. Joseph
P. Kennedy granted an inter
view to United Press Interna
tional at the White House
where she is acting as official
hostess in the absence of the
President's vacationing wife.
Mrs. Kennedy poured out
her views on political clans,
Teddy's chances, the White
House changes, the "wonder
ful" job the First Lady is do
ing, and her "unspoiled"
granddaughter Caroline.
"Oh, certainly," said the
vivacious Mrs. Kennedy when
asked if she thought Ted
would win a Senate seal.
Mrs. Kennedy said her son
had "invited" her to campaign
for him in Massachusetts. "I
expect I will," she said.
She said she wanted to help
Ted become her third to hold
national office, "even though
I'm past retirement age." She
explained her husband, for
mer Ambassador Joseph P.
Kennedy, had "urged him" to
seek political office.
Mrs. Kennedy said the sub
ject of political dynasties had
come up in toasts at the White
House lunch for President
Carlos Aroscmena of Ecuador.
Arosemena's father also had
been president of his country.
Senora Aroscmena confided
to her hostess that her 10-ycar-old
son, Carlos Julio Jr., who
also made the state visit to
Washington, had made up his
mind to be a "soldier."
The Ecuadorian first lady
explained to Mrs. Kennedy
that her son didn't want to be
president because he had
heard "so many cracks about
a family dynasty."
The president's mother, who
has heard the same jibes at
her family's political aspira
tions, spoke out with some
feeling and with some exas
peration: "I think it's wonderful if
people want to serve their
country. I think its a great
thing."
Comments On President
Frank and in a gay mood,
she made these other com
ments on subjects close to her
heart:
President Kennedy-"I think
he's wonderful. He looks very
well. He seems to enjoy it
and responds to all the chal
lenges. It is a terrific respon
sibility ... so much depends
on his judgment."
Jacqueline Kennedy-"!
think she's doing a wonderful
job. Everyone all over the
world admires her. So many
people say so ... I know she
enjoys it . . . She's young . . ."
Her husband, who suffered
a stroke last December-"He .1
better now. but he gets im
patient. He's very interested
in the Massachusetts cam
paign." Four year old granddaugh
ter Caroline-T don't think
she's spoiled. She's too young
to realize ... All these lux
uries. She probably thinks it's
natural for children to go off
in their own planes. If she-was
older, she would be mora
spoiled. But she is with her
cousins, and some of them
dance and swim better than
she. They do not allow her tr
take special precedence. Littla
children accept things."
