No matter what other de signers do, Balmain continues to make elegant clothes that could be worn by queens or rich housewives in any city for 15 years and always be In perfect taste. - One of his few changes was to banish bare arms instead, his cocktail dresses and some afternoon dresses had ' cap sleeves. Many of the dresses were in a "princess style" gently flaring skirt, waist only slight ly indicated, with a bow or tiny half-belt placed under the bustline. Balmain quickly abandoned the puffed-up shoulder he tried last season. The. suit and coats had a natural shoulder. Wide Sleeves Some of his coats had a wide sleeve. Most were cut fuller in the back, pointing up the fact that Paris has vir tually abolished the fitted redingote coat this season. His coats usually had tiny, stand- up collars. Some suit jackets were to the hlplinc, others were nip ped off at the waist, and all hung loose. Suit sleeves were narrow and to the wrist and skirts narrow and just cover ing the knees. The tall Balmain models who casually dragged their mink coats down the runway all wore large pearl choker necklaces and large pearl but ton earrings. Even cocktail and evening outfits were complimented by mink tarns with a wind-swept look. Balmain's favorite color ap peared to be a red the color of strawberry Ice cream. For evening he used many Orient al brocades for coats. Many evening gowns were of cham pagne or pale silver brocaded silks. Earlier American buy ers greeted designer Jacques Helm's long-skirt line with little enthusiasm. Potp ourn "Please, won't someone bid on this marvelous piece of art?" Implored Dunbar Carpenter last Friday evenine. Prac tically everyone listening laughed, for Mr. C. was referrine to a piece of. iron sculpture which he had made himself. The auction took place during the benefit cocktail nartv which the board of . Rogue Valley Art association' gave that evening at Topsldes with Mr.-and-Mrs. Alfred S. V. Car penter as hosts.' ' - ' ' ' , Every board member had promised to contribute a paint ing or some other object to be auctioned and Dunbar's offering was the figure of a skier in action, knees bent and ski poles at a flying angle. Although the auctioneer made it sound as if no one was Interested in his steel sculpture, in reality it had created considerable interest and received a lot of favorable comment. Bidding was brisk. and closed with Carl Wlmberly, an avid ski fan himself, as the buyer. - Top price during the auction was paid by Mr. and Mrs, E. H. Loveness for one of Eugene Bennett's paintings in spired by the big, glowing burners at valley lumber mills, The Alfred Carpenters bought an oil donated by .Walter Pappas, Medford architect. Mr. Pappas is a novice at paint ing, we learned, but this oil, done in the Jackson Pollack manner, was sought by several of the guests and bidding was lively. . ' Mrs. Ralph Thompsen had to bid rather high to acquire a metal wall piece which was the work of Jim Ragland. Mr. R. had used metal pieces from various sources for the work, and it had been named "The Hun." Board members who do no art work-showed consid erable ingenuity in their offerings. Richard Courtwright, for instance, brought a novel piece contrived from a check erboard and pieces of white chalk entitled "Charge at San Juan Hill." Mr. Carpenter, the host, offered bouquets from his garden and Mrs. Donald McGeary brought a big cake with such mouth-watering . frosting that any number of guests admitted that they thought of dipping in a finger when no one was looking. Two Cambridge university students here for the summer, Nick Halton and Tony Payne, offered the first bids on the cake. Robby Collins then bid on it for Mrs. Nion Tucker, up from San Francisco for the summer, who had invited the visiting students to her home on the Rogue river for luncheon on Saturday. The cake must have made a sump tuous dessert for the luncheon. - When the money from the party was tallied up, associa tion members were jubilant, for almost a thousand dollars was netted. The funds are needed for redecoration of Rogue gallery. The auction brought in more than $500, donations, admissions and money derived from the sale of refreshments accounted for the remainder. ' Mrs. Brandt Bartels, Mrs. Alfred Carpenter and Robby Collins were the efficient committee for the party, which turned out to be one of those real fun events. One of the students from England had been quoted shortly after his arrival as having said that the gardens he hr.d seen in America compared unfavorably with the Engli'1! gardens. He admitted Friday he had not seen the gardens at Topsidcs when he made the Tcmark. There are many other lovely gardens in the valley we wish the young man could see before he returns to England in the tall. O.S.
