By LOUISE FLETCHER f
Times Woman's Editor NEW YORK, July 14-No matter how their viewpoints vary on other style trends, New York designers are together on the importance of the short evening frock (short frock, that is, not evening). Fashion writers here this past week for the New York Dress Institute's 17th semiannual press week saw the collections of more than a score top-draw-er designers. Almost all of those showing -evening -dgesses ‘ gave short styles the edge over full length ~ designs. Logical, since there are fewer occasions demanding really formal ball gowns. Manhattan designers pretty well agree, too, on full, whirling skirts for their abbreviated evening frocks—with the bell shaped skirt ringing more loudly than other full types. To give them their bell shape, many skirts are lined. Others are propped out with erinolinés or ruffled petticoats.
"Water Pastels’
Hannah Troy started the short story this past week with brief, bouffant evening dresses of dull-finish satin in “water pastels’”’—ice blue, champagne, pale pink, Tina Leser's “topits” (camisole Dbodices. with flat bow straps) were shown with taffeta or brocade skirts, short and full. Even Christian Dior, noted for sumptuous ball gowns, showed more short evening frocks, lots of them bare-topped black styles. Maurice Rentner, too, favored black in hig ‘cha-
meleon” costumes, their bare tops covered by miniature boleros.
Swirling Skirts Herbert Sondheim's collection included short dinner dresses of metal lame or velvet. Pauline Trigere’s short satins emphasized the princess silhouet she favors this season. Emily Wil- | : kens bolstered the wide hem- | == lines of short frocks with a foam of net can-can petticoat ruffies. Capri’s short, beaded theater dresses and suits in white lame | SEES featured swirling skirts, pleated | = or plain, although one short frock in ice blue satin was an all-over beaded straight sheath. While most of the short eve- | ning dresses are really short— | a Jaytime length of 152% inches above sandal sole-Nettie Rosenstein settles for a 10-inch level in her shorter evening styles. | (These are more numerous than | the long ones.) She, too, indorses the wide-skirted look below a tight midriff. .
Slipper Satin Jane Derby is still another | designer using dull slipper | satin for short, young evening dresses with circular - flared | skirts below a tight, back-dip-ping bodice. One pearl-trimmead white taffeta is shown with a | loose white fleece coat, also pearl trimmed. Jacques Fath’'s designs for Joseph Halpert stress the short,
SHORT STORY FOR LONG EVENINGS—Among many short costumes for evening wear is "Perle Noir," a reversible wrap in black velvet and amethyst silk designed by Jacques Fath for Joseph Halpert. Lavishly full coat has wide revers and deep cuffs. Beneath is "Black Opal," strapless dinner dress with satin folds across bodice.

Heberton Weiss made fat rabbits, good luck again, which apparently were hopping around the prize table in an aimless way, but actually identified the prizes so people knew which was for what.
Incidentally the prizes were really something. The winning pair got lapel watches; the second, crystal salad bowls on silver bases and 80 on, through six places and a skip to most amusing booby prizes. Mary Lesh and Jane Kingham were in charge of the luncheon though Mary was carrying on without Jane, who, having helped complete arrangements, was out of town. >

Breakdown. of Venezuelan Embassy ~~ Cooling System Threatens Annual Party
By ELISE MORROW WASHINGTON, July 14--It has always been a minor source of pleasure to Washington sothat Venezuelan Independence is celebrated in July —because the Venezuelan embassy is the _. it only air-condi- d "» tioned diplomatic residence in the Capital, and the country's health can be toasted in cool comfort. This happy state of affairs wa s threatened last week when the cooling unit broke down, but it was repaired in time to save the day.

Native Songs
THERE WAS a bar set up in the garage as well as in the house, and the guests spilled out into the garden where tables were set up. It was a large reception—there were at least 600 guests.
The hosts went far afield for their company instead of limiting themselves to fellow LatinAmericans. Half-way through the party two Venezuelan girls sang native songs and another pair performed folk dances.
The dapper Iranian Ambassador, Mr. Nasrollah Entesam, appeared, looking unruffled despite his national crisis, and so did his adversary, Sir Oliver Franks, the British Ambassador, who had just returned from Great Britain. The Eastern and Middle Eastern bloc was substantial, and included the Egyptian Ambassador and Mme. Rahim, the Syrian Ambassador and Mme. El-Khouri, the Indian Ambassador, Mme. Pandit, the Indonesian Ambassador and Mme
Ali Sastroamidjojo, and the Pakistan Ambassador a n d Mme. Ispahani.

In a Nutshell
ONE OF THE vast corps of. unsung heroes of American poli tical life, the ghost writers, stood in a corner at a party this week, staring bleakly into his drink. He had spent the day, he said, trying to compose a foreign policy address for Senator So-and-so, who had igstructed him as follows: “My point in a nutshell, son, is that our foreign policy is all wrong. What I want to get across is a new idea—we don’t care what kind of government people have—let them be Fascists, Communists, Nazis, Soci~ alists, anarchists, anything they want--provided, and this is the
point—that they settle up their differences in a democratic way.”
The Ghost said he had tried all through a hot Washington afternoon to torture this gem into a reasonable facsimile of stirring logic, with no success; so he abandoned it in favor of a less spectacularly idiotic statement. “He won't know the difference anyway, probably,” murmured the Ghost, ordering another drink.
