F' YOU dislike housework. don't do it. And don't waste your money on a maid either: Simply invite your friends

over for a party and relax.

That's what-Mrs. Robert Reis did last night.

It seems that the Reis’ social room, which was in need of a cleanup job, served as the excuse for an informal last-minute dinner,

When Mrs. Reis. invited her guests, she gave them. strict orders to wear jeans. Furthermore, she prewarned them that the bottom of everything would be. scraped to get the meal together. : Little did the guests realize “scraping the bottom” meant scrubbing the tile basement floor which was to serve as table and chairs for them. The hostess had said informal. ” » ”

Cassie joined the Hicks family last month putting an epd to his. owner's one-sided conversation. Yesterday, Mr. Hicks made an announcement, probably the first words uttered by him at the breakfast table since the honeymoon days were over.

Paris Label Scores Surprise Hit in Children’s Clothing

By ELIZABETH TOOMEY

United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Feb. 6 — One of these days some mother is going to overhear

her five-year-old daughter and the child’s friends having a casual discussion of the Paris labels in their new clothes. The dolls in their laps, naturally, will be wearing Parisdesigned outfits. And mother will look down at her fresh cotton shirtwaist, labeled preshrunk, and wonder how all

this high fashion sneaked into °

small fry wardrobes when she never owned anything from the Rue de La Paix in her life. » ” tJ

MOTHERS ARE responsible, say children’s clothing manufacturers. They see a top designer's name attached to a little girl's fashion, and it appeals to them in the same way a chance to get a Paris label in their own closet attracts them. “Maybe it's snob appeal” sighed Sol Rosenblatt, head of the firm that makes Bambury children’s coats. He got Pierre Balmain, famous ‘ Paris designer, to design five coats for - spring, and they've created such a stir that

“We have a lovely line of children’s coats of our own, but everybody wants to ‘see the

coats with the Balmain label,” he sald. The company included

Dthe Balmain coats in its regular

spring line. Just to show what even a three-year-old can talk about, fashion wise, the Balmain kiddies’ coats feature things like ‘padded hips, nipped-in. waists, detachable capes, sloping shoulders, petticoat ruffles,

butterfly backs and stoles.

The youngsters seem unimpressed by Paris labels so far, but with a little training, they could get used to the idea of looking for satin signatures inside the collars of their coveralls, At the moment, Elsa Schiaparalli is the only custom designer who has designed a doll’s wardrobe and Balmain is. the only French name in the children’s coat field.

Gray flannel and bright navy worsted are the two favorite colors and fabrics in the Paris inspired coats. Except for the coat with the dolman sleeves and contrasting stole, each design is available in sizes for toddlers or teens. A stole, it was decided, was Just a little too much for a

The Waistline of little girls’ spring dresses “is the focal point , just as mother’s nippedin waistline is emphasized,” according to G. E. Rosenau, head of Cinderella Frocks, ' " One of these curvy five-year-old frocks is a cotton plaid redingote, nipped-in waistline

‘naturally, worn over a bouffant

organdy petticoat. Even some of the toddlersized dresses have their own ruffied petticoats this season. The fuller skirts add to that ! fashionable doll-waisted look, | one manufacturer said sol- | emnly. i

Ayres’. French Room today through Saturday to supervise modeling of the exclusive collection of fashions, Indianapolis women will have a chance to see first hand the exquisite creations of this designer which are born in her salon near Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. : For many years Irene has been head studio designer for M-G-M creating screen clothes for fabulous beauties. For the past few years she has devoted part of her time to creating equally fabulous clothes for American women, Her cdllection, exclusive with Ayres, hits a new- high in dramatic simplicity this spring. ” ” »

FOR INSPIRATION. she turns to the French Empire period when men posed as the “darlings of the drawing rooms” in foppish suits with frills at wrists and neckline amd: buckles on their knees, These costumes she has adapted into charming “dandy” suits for women with snugly fitted jackets and slim skirts, Many of the skirts have douhle box pleats placed low in back for walking ease.

o » ~ ANOTHER SIGNATURE of her suits is the addition of crisp “stocks” or scarves worn high "at the neckline, or soft full bows, She loves the slightly shorter sult sleeve that leaves room for the cuffs of the blouse to peep out. A good example #b6f her “dandy” suit is seen in the By photograph above. * Chunky cuff links accent the blouse. The suit is of crisp
