SECTION 3 THE COURIER-JOURNAL. LOUISVILLE, SUNDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER 18. 1962 Show Your Stuff, Collectors Newswomen Aim For White House A MUTER OF TASTE II William Pahlmann, A.I.I). If tr'iA9 f'C Vv i I' 1 WASHINGTON.

Nov. 17 (W.N.S.) Washington newswomen will shortly be invited on their own White House tour, topped with coffee and cakes. The invitations will come from Jacqueline Kennedy's secretaries rather than from the First Lady, a New Frontier informality which is bringing mixed reactions. Announce Invitations The Women's Press Club and the American Newspaper Women's Club both announced the invitations will come from Pamela Turnure, Mrs. Kennedy's press secretary, and Letitia Baldridge, her social secretary.

Members' response is ranging from anticipation to indifference. Sarah McClendon of the El Paso Times, who has been needling three presidents at press conferences, is glad Mrs. Kennedy will be absent. She feels the First Lady would distract from business. Mrs.

McClendon wants to know what happened to the portraits of certain Republican First Ladies, also to Teddy Roosevelt's antlers. She would rather slug it out with the secretaries than with Mrs. Kennedy. Feature writer Vylla Poe Wilson, a relative of Edgar Allan Poe and close personal friend of Alice Roosevelt Long-worth, said she isn't accustomed to receiving White House invitations from anyone but First Ladies. But she wants to see whatever there is to see and will turn up in working clothes.

(With Mrs. Wilson this does not mean sneakers and stretch pants. Her trim girdled and hatted state when she was club editor on the old Washington Times-Herald earned her the nickname, "Lady With The Three Mrs. Wilson also said she hopes the refreshments won't include dips. She finds the tendency to shrimp the cheese dips a bit like public doughnut dunking and contrary to the elegance of Washington's yesterdays.

Patty Cavin, president of the Women's Press Club, said she will be delighted to go anywhere in the White House the secretaries want to take her. She will stay until the two secretaries throw her out, the coffee urn runs dry, or her network closes in looking for her. TV EW YORK, Nov. 17. Collecting adds interest to life, and I anybody can be a collector.

When you announce what you collect, you will find that your friends and family will begin to keep their eyes open for your particular favorite, and your collecting will help solve their gift problems. Collections can be very ornamental in a decoration scheme if they are properly ued. A good collection can become the focal point of a room or the theme of its design. The use of collections depends on their nature and the size of the objects, naturally, but a collection is invariably more effective if the objects are displayed together. If the objects are small they have to be displayed in one place to make any impression.

Don't scatter a bunch of similar items all over a room Put them together. Start Even if you are only dreaming of decorating you can start a collection, and by the time you get to the actual process, you may have a useful bit of ornamentation. If you are starting a collection, choose the sort of thing that will be in keeping with the kind of room or house you want, and with yourself. Don't decide on antique silver boxes, for instance, if you don't live on that scale and haven't got somebody to polLsh them every week. When you add to a collection don't compromise on quality just because the item happens to be what you collect, if you plan to use your collection for decorative purposes.

If you decide to collect old china, for instance, try to accumulate china of the same general nature. Otherwise, when you go to display it, you will find that it doesn't go together. Collections are likely to have more interest if they relate to your personality, your life, or your business, but there is no rule about what anybody collects. Collections can be beautiful, amusing, historical, contemporary, or whatever happens to appeal to you. They don't have to be expensive.

I have seen a marvelous collection of old glass bottle stoppers, displayed in a panel where they catch the light, and used as a room divider in a small modern house. Old lace-paper valentines, framed together, look well in a woman's bedroom. Collections of glass improve if they are posed on glass shelves where the light reaches them. Homely objects make amusing collections. A collection of old copper or porcelain molds will add pleasure to the kitchen.

Teapots lend themselves to decoration. Salt and pepper shakers are popular collectors' items. Old-fashioned iron toys are favored by some people. I know an advertising man in New York who has a magnificent collection of lead soldiers. Coeyrieht, ml So nice to com home to Leisure-wear for the most discriminating.
