4D April 26, 1954 ST.LQUIS POST-DISFATGH International Designer's Pattern To Be Hostesses at Meeting My Day Successful Meeting in Eau Claire By Eleanor Roosevelt i -j. 1 mm, ft I I 4 s- ft xv Ki4 Utv i i-'-x .5 fore we got on the plane back to New York. It was a pleasure to have Dr. and Mrs. Mayo come up to St Paul for the dinner and the evening meeting.

The dinner was chiefly for members of the association, but about 2000 persons came to the evening meeting, a very successful one. ON WEDNESDAY, kindly Mr. Melamed came to have breakfast with us at 8 and took us to the plane. These short trips taken in two-engine planes are usually a good deal rougher than a long trip, when you can go to any height seeking less turbulent atmosphere. We had a fairly bumpy trip from St.

Paul to Huron, S.D. We were a little late In arriving, but went straight to a luncheon where a very representative group of people from churches, colleges, schools, the Chamber of Commerce, the Junior Chamber of Commerce, the Farm Bureau, the Farmers Union and the AFL were all on hand. The Junior Chamber of Commerce invited me to return in May to Judge a contest a beard-growing contest. The man who handed me the invitation had grown the most remarkable kind of beard, branching out from his mustache in a carefully-cut curve up to his ear. It gave him a rather peculiar appearance, I must say.

He himself was conscious of this, for he told me that he thought he had devised the strangest kind of beard to grow. THERE WAS a press conference, a recording and a television kinescope, and then I attended the workshop on UNESCO for a few minutes. All of this indicates that a great deal of Interest in the United Nations has developed throughout this state. I feel more and more encouraged as we travel from one state to another. The other night, in the few minutes before I fell asleep, I read a little book by Charlotte and Dabney White of Greensboro, N.

entitled 'Needed: A Miracle for Tomorrowthe Vanguard Plan." It is an appeal for world govern- THE wholehearted acceptance of the American middy blouse by practically every couturier in Europe in their recent spring collections presages enormous popularity among the well dressed women in our own country. This model by Biki, one of Italy's foremost names in design, has great elegance plus a newborn chic that belies its casual cut. The V's of the neckline and the bodice detail are particularly flattering lines for shortened necks but in truth it is a line anybody can wear and wear well. The bodice front is lined and shaped so that there is figure definition fore and looseness ait. Biki showed it first in gray flannel and is suitable in any wool of that weight as it is, too, in linen, pique or any of the faille type materials.

This pattern is cut in De signer sizes. Bust Waist Hips Size Inches 35 10 38 12 37Vi 14 39 18 41 18 Inches 34 33 36V4 38 40 Inches 24 29 264 28 30 Pattern S-217. Size 12 requires three and seven-eighths yards of 38-inch material for middy blouse (short sleeves) and skirt and one-fourth yard of 25-lnch material for interfacing. To order a pattern, address ment to be arrived at through the United Nations by I960, but I think you might find the little booklet interesting to look through, and certain suggestions are stimulating. Grated Lemon Rind Ever add a little grated lemon rind to an apple pie? Try adding grated orange rind, too.

Here's a new kind of crouton: Melt a little butter or margarine in a heavy skillet over low heat; add some bite-size shredded rice or wheat biscuits and a sprinkling of salt. Stir the tiny biscuits over low heat for several minutes to toast and coat with NEW YORK. I FEEL that sometimes I must sound too optimistic to my readers, but I can only say that our visit at Eau Claire, seemed from beginning to end a most successful part of our trip. The morning meeting was well attended by people Interested in the American Association for the United Na- Mrs. Roosevelt tions and other organizations wanting to work with the association.

The luncheon was held In a church hall and attended by 428 persons, all the room would seat Then we went over to the auditorium, where 2000 persons came to the meeting. I hope that everyone became a member of the association. Since a great many other communities were represented, I feel that we started a good deal of activity in several places. WE DROVE from Eau Claire to St Paul, and I thought that on arrival I would have a very short time in which to dress. But the television people had set up their equipment in my room, and I had to give them a few minutes before I even had a chance to take my dress out of the bag and see if the creases would shake out.

My friend Adele Enright, who always greets me in St Paul, was on hand. She met us again on Friday morning at 6:40 at the train and took us to her home for breakfast be 41 11 if MEMBERS OF THE ST.

Louisans In East for Festiva I By Frances Conant Richards NEW YORK, April 26. A TEN-DAY festival Paris in New York opened Tuesday, and Fifty-seventh street resembles a New York Rue de la Paix. Four full size kiosks spattered with colorful posters and ads mark each I corner of Fifty-seventh and Park. Tri-colored strips of oil-i cloth blow from the top of lamp posts for four blocks and French flags are out in abun- dance. Former St.

Louisan i Mrs. Archibald Manning I Brown, known professionally i as Eleanor McMillen, is among i the 27 decorators who have joined in the festival. Each decorator has done one room in the French manner and a master ticket entitles the vis-j itor to stop in each exhibition during the 10 days. Proceeds from the festi' I go to Ameri-i can Aid to i4anee Student Center in Paris, the American I Library in Paris, and Relief Projects of the Committee of French-American Wives. Highlight of the show room at McMillen is the airy looking contemporary French iron bed with its delicately embroidered thin white canopy and curtains.

Col. and Mrs. Roger E. Brunschwig have been busy for weeks planning the project. Col.

Brunschwig, a mem-! ber of the executive commit-1 tee, represents the French Chamber of Commerce in the United States. His wife, the former Zelina de Machlot Comegys, is the niece of the late Zelina de Machlot Thomp- son, and is related to the Benoist, Chouteau and Papin families. The Brunschwigs, Mayor and Mrs. Robert Wagner, Mme. Jacque Balsan (the one-time Consuelo Vander-bllt), and Mrs.

Harrison Williams of best-dressed fame, were among the 200 New Yorkers invited by the committee to a cocktail party Tuesday afternoon on the St. Regis Roof officially to open Paris in New York. The closing party comes April 30, when the Plaza ballroom will be jammed for a luncheon and fashion show of a new Jacques Fath collection. St. Louisans in town for all the Parisian atmosphere include Mrs, Gerald Allen, Mrs.

Ferguson Butler and her daughter, Judy, and Mrs. John A. Holmes. Mary Lee Holmes arrived Thursday for a few days of shopping and going to the theater. She leaves today for Charlottesville, Va.

to join Mrs. John McCloskey who was Muffie Sullivan. After a short visit in Charlottesville, she and her hostess will go on a motor tour of southern gardens. Mrs. Holmes will stop off in Washington on her way back to see her brother, Campbell Smidt.

MARIE CARR TAYLOR is currently having her second one-man show here at the Betty Parsons Gallery on East Fifty-seventh street. Her collection of 17 sculpture pieces plus three drawings and a portfolio of more have never before been shown in New York. The show opened Tuesday and friends, artists and critics have been dropping in steadily to view her work in marble and granite. Large baskets of flowers sent to the artist on opening day add colorful touches in the stark white gallery. Among 'those who viewed the show last week were former St.

Louisan Kajiwara, Mrs. John Harney, Timothy Hennessey, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Nessler, Mrs. George K.
