HERALD AND NEWS. Klamath Falls. Ore. Sunday. Aiicust 23. 19,V PAGE 5 C 'Paris Fashion Designer Is Single-Handed Sensation PARIS The busiest and one of the best fashion designers in Paris makes nearly a doien col lections a year, literally single handed. Jean Pomarede, designer for Jacques Heim, is i soft-voiced, dark-eyed Basque of S3. With his left hand, he designs three Heim shows at a time twice a year high fashion, boutique and teen agers) plus two midseason shows and several foreign collections. Even his best friends forget what the young designer never men tions he lost his right hand and half his right arm in a child hood accident. In the hard-boiled fashion world. Pomarede'i story stands out like a fate by Dickens. His father was a poor cobbler in a little village of the Pyrenees, until a war wound left him un able to work at all. There were, five children, and when Jean's ac cident happened he was S years old then the family was too poor to keep him. He was given to three elderly sisters, well-off spinsters who had a house with servants, gave recep tions and spent their evenings sewing and emhroidering for charities. The little boy was taught sewing skills by the sisters. "When I came to Paris I had trouble finding work," says Jean. "so I went to a fashion design class, and I started with Christian Dior, his last year at Lelong." For the last seven years Pom arede has been sole designer for Heim. He had had many offers from America, and although he isited the fashion industry in New York two yean ago, he says he has no desire to work there. His successful career has brought him a country house with a large garden on the seaside in Provence. His sister Maria lives with him in Paris and his broth ers have become a musician and a floral landscape artist. His wid owed mother lives in Fouillon, near Dax. Tunes have changed, too, for the elderly maiden ladies who brought him up, and it is now Jean who helps the two surviving sisters. As a designer, Pomarede hates the restrictions that business con siderations impose. "I would like sometime to have my own house. but I am frightened of all that practical side of it," he explains Prices he finds far too high. ind as far as possible he is turn i.U from expensive silks to less expensive woolens. What he calls "wool canvas" is a new material with a very soft draping quality. Rose is his favorite color. He hates wamp sheaths, favors a long line without emphasis on the waist line. He prefers American women as clients because of their enthu siasm foj new things. "They want simple, practical but elegant clothes." he lays. "Frenchwomen are too fond of little chichis frills i. In real high fashion you must strip, strip, strip, and finish with something that Ii simple but has -personality." It take Pomarede two months to create his three collections for the season, and after the openings he takes a month to retreat to his country, house. "My passion is to make flowers grow in difficult places, and I have a wonderful rock garden. I like boating and listening to music, but most of all I like just dreaming. I don't go to movies and I don't read," he says. "I loe cats, and my garden is always full of strays because I put out milk for them." MR. AND MRS.

By VIVIAN BROWN I AP N'ewsfeatures Writer Cooler . weather need not close off the picnic season, a fun .time for young people, that makes en tertaining so much easier on the household. No. fuss. No feathers. Food that can be prepared mainly in advance, taking advantage of all the short cuts to entertaining. A festive picnic may be held on the porch, in the garage or in the barn. Dad may oblige, putting the car elsewhere for the occasion if you choose the garage, but in any case it will keep the group out of the house. A small barbecue unit hibachi or other portable grill can do a fine job of barbecuing in a small area, if you plan to broil hot dogs or hamburgers, Food prepared in the house may be kept hot on the electric tray. It could be fun to prepare all sorts of unusual toppings for the frankfurters, letting your culinary imagination take over to make this budget meat take on glamor. The hot dogs may be stuffed in advance, for instance. Or mix tures may be prepared, and guests may stuff their own hot dogs, choosing their favorites. ' . into tne split not dog may go any type of cheese Cheddar,- a mixture of cream cheese and blue cheese, or a thin strip of moz zarelli dusted with bregano, Chopped fresh tomato and minced onions, dusted with a bit of brown sugar and some sweet basil, make another good topping. Grated hard cooked eggs and mayonnaise will give a souffle ef fect to the frankfurters. Horseradish with applesauce Is a good taste combination. Go light on the horseradish. A mixture of equal parts of chunky peanut butter and cream cheese masked with chutney (if you have it) or watermelon rind with a little curry powder and Worcestershire sauce may offer an intriguing taste treat. A sweet-and-sour sauce that is favored by the Chinese may be made with this short cut: Mix baby food apricots and pears with a bit of vinegar. Or mix orange marmalade and mustard. Macaroni salad is a. favorite with hot dogs. Inexpensive and easy to prepare, it may he made in ad vance and kept in the ice box. LEISURELY BREAKFAST Want to bake muffins for Satur day morning breakfast, that pleas ant leisurely affair? Mix the dry Ingredients the night before and have the muffin pans out and ready. One pound of elbow macaroni will feed six. Cook it. Drain it. Run cold water over it. Drain again. Then mix into it two chopped pimien- one half green pepper chopped fine, one . epp of chopped celery, one chopped, onion, one half cup of mayonnaise or more if needed Add a little French salad dressing if you have it on hand. Put the salad into the refrigerator until you are ready to serve it. Move the sawbuck table and garden benches into the garage All seating equipment should be the rugged kind. The record play er, a bucket of cold drinks and the fond should set the pace for a fun evening. Decorations and soft lights lend more enchantment to the garage picnic. PERFECT PEACHES If a recipe calls for fresh peach pulp, prepare it by removing the skins from the peaches, pitting slicing and then crushing. A po tato masher may be used for the crushing process.
