'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."

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.
