Children's Clothing Field
Not Influenced By Kennedys
By GAY PAULEY
UPI Women's Editor
New York-UW-Mrs. John F.
Kennedy unquestionably
ranks as one of the interna
tional style
leaders of the
day. And the
; v .
ing numbers of young motlv
ers are buying for their chil
dren anyway.
Mrs. Berens said the trend
is toward simplicity in chil
dren's wear, as it is in that
of adults who would ape Mrs.
Kennedy's chic. The result

there is no one overwhelm

There is no mass copying
as there was in the days when
Shirley Temple was a child
star and numerous mammas
around the nation were try
ing to turn their small daugh
ters into dimpled, golden
curled replicas of the movie
moppet.
Mrs. Berens believes the
president's two children, Caro
line, 4, and John F., Jr., going
on two, might be more influ
ential on fashion if they were
photographed more often for
public print.
Typical Wear
But Mrs. Kennedy is trying
for some privacy for her chil

Women's Wear Daily, the
trade publication, toward
children's wear designers
copying grownup styles.
This trend, the trade publi
cation said, goes so far as
child versions of the swirl
skirt, bow blouse and little
jacket outfit that U.S. design
er Norman Norell made last
season for sophisticated
grownup females.
Activities Differ
"Children's shapes and their
activities differ from those
of adults," said Mrs. Berens,
general manager and stylist
for Merry Mites, Inc. (boys'
clothes) and Gay Sprites, Inc.
(girls'- clothes).
The implication was that
children run, jump and climb,
and shinnying up a tree in a
copy of a Norman Norell
wasn't exactly possible.
"The Dior Trapeze of a few
seasons ago was perfect when
it was copied for children be
cause it was a children's
style." said Mrs. Berens.
"That is why it failed for
adults."
The Trapeze was a simple
silhouette stressing natural
shoulder, ease through an un
belted waist and a slightly
flared skirt. It still is basic
with children's wear design
ers. "What distresses me," said
Mrs. Berens. "is to see little
boys dressed like carbon copies
of what thejr dads are wear
ing. Boys mostly have round
faces, short necks. Put them
in a miniature version of a
man's suit with necktie and
long trousers and they look
pushed down ... we try to
style to give them height.
Short Trousers
"For dress, I like to see
little boys in short trousers
with knee socks, cardigan
jacket and shirt collar out
over the cardigan neck. No
lie. A lie on a boy always
is askew anyway."
Mrs. Berens, an attractive
brunette, is married to Nat
Berens. in a competitive chil
dren's wear firm. The couple
has no children. But Mrs.
Berens said that her nine
godchildren and the families
of the predominantly young
marricds on her company's
staff provide more than suffi
cient youngsters to wash and
wear test every garment be
fore it goes inlo collection.
Camping Outfit
Good Investment
Chicago (UPI) A good
camping outfit initially costs
about as much as a two-week
resort hotel bill for a family
of four, says E. H. Regnicr,
University of Illinois rural
recreationist.
But if the equipment is
durable, you're set for several
years, he said. Your main ex
penses in future vacations
will be food and travel to the
camp grounds.

A sandy beach supports a
