Secretary Becomes ' Fashion Designer INDIANAPOLIS (UPD— Another piece of a long-cherished dream started taking shape today for Enid Stewart of Mooresville. Mrs. Stewart, who works as a secretary in a large Indianapolis pharmaceutical firm, explained about her dream of someday becoming a fashion designer and consultant for women who can t get their personality and their clothes coordinated. She admitted she had been a long time working toward this dream, of which her new home, on which construction began today, is a part. The home is specially designed to provide the sewing facilities she needs for custom work. “When I was 12, I wanted to be a doctor, but I soon realized I couldn’t do that, so at 16 I decided I wanted to be a dress designer,” Mrs. Stewart explained. “I took a correspondence course in designing, but I also took a business course and went to work as a secretary.” Studied in New York Oddly enough, while working as a secretary, the dress-designing dream got a chance for partial fulfillment. The company for which she works annually stages a professional-type variety show with hundreds of costumes, most of which are designed by Mrs. Stewart. As a result of this volunteer work, she enrolled in the Traphagen School of Fashion in New York in 1960 and was a star pupil. She also has recently begun special work offered by the National Secretaries Association. "I felt this would help my employer while I remained as a secretary, and would give me business knowledge I would need if I ever had a business of my own,” she explained. She has accumulated a large library of costumes and designs because of her interest in fashions. “It doesn’t matter how long it takes to reach your goal,” she said. “Just find something you want to do and be prepared for it when the door opens The knowledge you acquire will be used sometime.” Prefers Simple Garb Mrs. Stewart, whose parents named her after Enid, Okla., because they thought it was such a pretty town, is constantly amazed at new things she discovers about fabrics and their effect on the observer and the wearer. Because of her theatrical work in designing, she has acquired experience also in the changes made in colors by lights. » “Deep purple and deep lavender do not show up well in artificial light,” she advised. “They look dead and should only be worn in the daylight.” She believs women should wear simple clothing which gain their effect from draping of the fabric and that each woman should consider what appears best on her, and not what other people are wearing. “These short skirts which show knees which are better covered worry me,” Mrs. Stewart admitted. “I feel like putting an extra ruffle on some of these skirts.” Anxiety For Future Chief Worry Cause By GAY PAULEY UPI Women’s Editor NEW YORK (UPI) — The uncertainty of the years ahead, the need for financial security, the possibility of nuclear war—these rank highest among the worries of today's women at any age, a new survey shows. In turn, getting dates and problems of popularity ranked low even among the teen-agers. These were some of the findings from the 15,026 participants in a national YWCA study, details of which were released today. The women represented YWCA members and non-members in school, at work, running homes, in 39 states and the District of Columbia- Their age range was from 12 on up and more than half the women were single. Each answered three questions: —What does it feel like to • you to be a girl or woman in today’s world? The questionnaires gave a choice of 21 answers on this. —What worries you most about life today? 22 choices. —What encourages you most about life today? 12 choices. To each question, the women were to check the three attitudes or factors that most nearly applied to them. About the worryin’ kind—in the over-all count, 5,428 ranked the anxiety concerning the future as first. Having enough money was second with 3,214. And the threat of nuclear war was third with 3,153. “Will I ever reach the age of 40 because of the threat of nuclear war,” a 15-year-old in Indiana wanted to know. A 12-year-old girl in Illinois commented, “I would like to talk to Khrushchev and not for fun.” “At night I lie awake and worry about communism, grades, college entrance...”, said a 15 year old in an Ohio community. Having enough money, the study showed, begins to pinch at 18-24 years of age, but ranked high enough to show that it plagues all age groups.
