Talks with leading Seventh ave-

that they intend to make pilgrim

such notable contributions that
have come out of four years of
homegrown fashions, such as the
boost to national good taste through
style simplification: the ability to
make a lot out of a little; good
printing; the development of
fashion crafts: the styling of the

AS patriotic as most designers
feel about what this country has
been able to do on its own, there
are two-both winners of the Amer

contend that homegrown design
hasn't been too much to shout
about.
One is Claire McCardell, this
years winner of the award, who
says, first, that designers could use
some ideas because there haven't
been many: second. that we can't
claim the title of world fashion CEN

in direct competition with Paris.

only married couples are admitted.
Applicants must be over go and under

must be in good health-no one is
admitted who requires a special diet

Known simply as the Andrew
Freedman Home, the institution now
shelters about 40 persons who eX-
cept for accidents of fortune, would
be dwelling in luxury on Park Avenue
or preparing for society's annual trek
TO the mountains or seashore.
Recently, there has been an influx
of titled inmates from abroad-eld-
erly men and women who once were
part of the gay life Of glittering
European capitals. New guests, too,
include some returned expatriates
who, like the counts and countesses,
have seen their fortunes washed out
by the tides of revolution and war.
Because its guests have so many
highly placed connections, great care
is taken to hide their identity. Then,
too, they are naturally sensitive about
being in a poorhouse, even one that
caters exclusively to the eX-wealthy.
OF course, as philosophers point
out, poverty is a relative condition.

$4,000 looks like a lot of money.

Andrew Freedman, who founded
the Home, was a multi-nillonaire
who had made his money the hard
way, some of it by buying and selling
real estate. some in other enterprises,
including baseballs New York Giants.
After accommodating fortune, he
worried about what would happen to
him if he lost it, So when he died
