~~ Practicality Furniture Keynote

Say Seven Leading Stylists

By JEAN SPICKLEMIRE Times Honfea Editor

CHICAGO, Jan. 9—Prac-* ticality keynotes today’s “designed for living” furniture. That's the opinion of seven of the country’s leading stylists in the home furnishings field. Six of them, who spoke at a press conference here yesterday, agreed that good-looking pieces should be priced to fit the young married couple's budget as well as the sable-clad consumer. They've not just theorized, They've followed

through and created such units for more than a dozen different

manufacturers.

Keeping the housewife and

her desires In the backs of their minds, they've given their

”

furniture an airy, homey aspect, made it water and liquor proof, inserted as much function in traditional lines as in modern

ones. . ns »

EACH STRESSED the new informality being seen here would establish fundamental design principles away from the machine look and toward a softened approach. They explained the popularity of French provincial as the result of mass escapism away from the mechanical life and toward the home. Paul McCobb, the cover boy for home fashions, and the designer of the successful

un " u “DON'T BE AFRAID to be elegant,” he advised: “Choose furniture that will keep quiet and to the background, that won't overshadow the individual in a home or his hobby.” Examples of their opinions are in the showrooms buyers will visit this week and next. These are samples. After retailers place their orders, the goods will be put into production in plants, They will appear on home store floors in a month to three months. ” ” ” ONE LINE manufactured by Showers includes only three basic pieces.

since either will blend with contemporary decor. Both are now priced for the young budget instead of being restricted to custom lines. Result of an architectural trend is the room divider, a unit that's here in a good many lines. Planned especially for the living-dining room it {s a buffet on one side, perhaps a bookcase, desk and storage section on the other. Extension tables pop out of bookcases and buffets serve as console or hall table when they're not dining. All this a concession to restricted space.

Dior's Slim Suits Are Contrast at NYDI

By BETTY LOCHER Times Fashion Editor

NEW YORK, Jan. 9— Fashion editors had to look and listen without stopping

today to catch the highlights of such important collections as Christian Dior, Ben Zuckerman, Paul Parnes and Tina Leser.

We managed to ignore all waiters with champagne and are now settling for a cup of coffee and a typewriter so that we can keep you posted. The Dior collection was by far the most subtle yet to be shown. Models whisked by so rapidly that it was hard to keep up. But we did manage to notice that his best suits were very slim—a contrast to all previous collections. ” ” ” NECKLINES ARE low, even in suits, sometimes filled in with flat dickeys or modified with

beautifully rounded collars. His boxy jackets look comfortable with high shoulder yokes that release fullness in the back. _ His slim sKirts have tucks at the waistline that give them a slight puffiness over the hips. Dior always makes much of a tiny waist. This season his narrow belts give a delicate

° fragile look to both suits and

dresses. Many of them start at the sides and end in the back in flat bows or are crossed and

buttoned. 2 ” ”

HE HAS MOVED easily away from the basque. bodice and many of his dresses have a slight blouse above the belt in back. Colors here are particularly French. A deep golden olive looks wonderful with black velvet. He loves two tones of the same color. For example, one ensemble done in linen has a deep rasp-
