Skirts Only One Inch Shorter In Diorls New York Collection

By Dorothy Roe

NEW YORK (AP)-The shockers I Dior likes to toss;

that Christian into the international fashion pot; Ire notabhr missing from his New; Yank spring collection. p

The knee-length skirts expectedi after his short-skirt furore of las'. summer turned out to be merely one inch shorter than those of last year. Suits. coats and dresses are suave. smooth and ladylikc. cut on the fis.tt.eri.ng lines identified with this masterly student or fashion.

Skirts are about equally divided between slim and full, but in day- time costume: skirt fullness is a- chieved subtly through pleats 01' smooth gores.

Dior likes open-necked suit Jack- ets, sometimes adds button - in white pique touches cuts every-I thing aboie the belt on curving. lines to accentuate the feminine' lines of the figure. This season he relies on cut rather than stiffening to achieve the smooth, rounded lines for which he is famous, man- ags a subtly sophisticated lookl without exaggerated styling.

Outstanding Ensemble

one of the outstanding items in the collection is an ensemble of ii, Ininy sheer brttllll uuol that looksi like silk, used in a ti,-zlitly-fitted princess dress and a tremendously full belted t-oat ullh gold-color lin- ing and a deep back slash.

On crisper lines is a pluiige-K necked sheath in cltiirco:il sheerf wool. with a clioice of matching' cape or box Jacket. and touchesl of white pique.

Highlight of the evening gowns is I strapless black taffeta gown with a huge Quaker collar of white or-gandie-so austere as to be more, dramatic than yards of ruffles and; rosebuds.

ELLEli'S DIARY

O

In a pre-dawn rite, with a morn- ing star fading and before long a new day brightening the hills, the stove-pipes were given a cleaning by our early risers today . . . with James saying as he removed an accumulation of soot from the chimney to end the task: ''There'll be high winds and snowstormis and cold spells; it takes but little then to start a blaze." He shook his head. "Folks seem to be so careless nowadays. We can't expect others to come into our homes to attend to our fire-hazards. We must look to those our..ch'es. Busy? A person is never too busy. I would say, to take precautions like that."

"And tzierefs another thing: farms don't carry t-nough fire in- surance to protect them, especially of year when stock, crop and macliincry are all gather- ed into the barns. It”: not ex- pensive to buy; if a farmer is fort- unate . . . well, it gives him much peace of mind, and on the other hand in the event of a fire, there's not too many but would be com- forted by the thought, 'At least I'll have my insurance to help me' replace. And there. Ellen." he said. replacing the cover on the chininey-opening. "I think I have it all. Who would have tnou,.-hi, there uoud be a pailful of soot there!

ANSWER: While in most cases of an amaiory error I believe it the bctter part of discretion to withhold some facts, in your case I advocate complcic adinissioii. Your lndiscretions were apparently loo flu- arant. Your fiance alrea:iy knows some of the stories. suspectsthc worst. mid Will. furtherniore. always suspect the worst-as who wouldn't. Per- haps he will cancel the oncagerri-ent. If he does it's no more than you should have expected at the time you let your emotions rule your sense of decency. It's far better for you to take your chances with his love. be- iieving that you'll never behave so again, than to risk the possibility of H5 learning the full story in time-which he undoubtedly will.

Many persons make mistakes; it's the fortunate ones who are for- rziven. Of course. you were very wrong in the first statement of your hitter. Anything you do, or have done. is definitely your fltincels busi- ness. If you plan .to enter marriage with the idea that some of your activities are none of your hii:l:and's businm, you certainly don't deserve to get a ivortliy man. In fa. , lots of your ideas need changing-dont put off the job.

I DEAR MISS DIX: I am 38 years old. the mother of five healthy children. six months ago I lost my last baby, and nothing seems to take his place. Do you think I should adopt I little boy? We are in a posltior. to give him a good home.

WORRIED MOTHER

ANSWEW 111 Your prrssnt nervous state, I think it quite unlikely that an adoption agency would give you a child. Besides, it. would take some time oeforc you could get him. You know the list of people waiting youngsters for adoption is rezy long. I should think with five active Filllwiell U1 the lllmlly .i'0u'd have little time to worry about being lone-

For years vitamin B 12 has been given by injection into the muscles as giving it by mouth allowed the digestive juices of stomach and intestine to destroy its effect. Also. in some cases, the continued use of 5 the vitamin B 12 injections oaused' pain in the muscles and discour- aged the patient.

It was with real satisfaction that it was learned some moniths ago that a substance added to vita- .min B 12 prevented the digestive ljulces from interfering with the action of this important vitamin and I was pleased to acquaint my readers with this fact.

Patients, naturally. would boonr.-r take any medicine by mouth than by injection into the muscles. This

"It's I part. thatr-grri” said Miss Hyland, clenching her small hands Ind her law. She's been served it meaty portion of Fry's verslfied wit and wisdom in his costume melodramatic comedy due to reach London early in April.

She prefers to chat about I host of things, her likes and dislikes in theatre, "where I'm often cast to suffer nobly, although I've al- ways thought I could make people laugh." She likes films, people, cricket and Canada-and 20 cig- arets a day unless she's in re- hearsal.

Miss Hyland, a University of Saskatchewan graduate who at- tended the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art here on a scholar- ship, had to turn down a chance to appear at the second Stratford. Ont.. Shakespearlan festival with James Mason. Commitments per- mitting, she hopes to make the trip next year.

Prefers Costume Roles

"The theatre makes me so ner- vous I almost pass out before go- ing on," said Miss Hyland. "That's why I prefer costume roles-the audiences can't. see my knees knocking."

since her debut in 1950 there's been time for just one week's holl- day. The girl with the low. musical voice has strung together an im- presslve list of good and glowing reviews of work among London's most. distinguished theatre people.
