HoMBRES from the wide-open

gaudiest get-ups with the real West

Top rodeo hands like Roy Rogers
and Gene Autry, as we'll as range
riding cowpunchers, send East to
have fancy shirts and skintight jeans
tailored by stubby character named
Rodeo Ben. who until just few years
ago had never been farther west than
Chester, Pa.
Now in his middle years, Rodeo
Ben even speaks with drawl. He
decks himself out in two-tone eye
stopping suits, wears 1O-gallon Stet-
sons. struts around Philadelphia in
high-heeled boots. He seldom misses
a rodeo, likes to sit on a bale of hay
in somebody's corral and CAB horses
and gear with guys who grew up
where men are men.
HIGH STAKES. If couple of West
erners start betting their shirts, the
stakes are high. That is, if the shirts
were made by Rodeo Ben. His crea-
tions come at prices higher than the
meanest bronc can buck greenhorn.
Complete cowboy suits range from
$50 to $500.
Most expensive outfit he ever
turned out consisted of jacket and
trousers in elegantly embroidered
white twill and a heavy silk shirt.
Price: $375.
Some rodeo and movie stars order
in quantity. Last year Roy Rogers
laid $500 on the line for dozen origi-
nal designs in brilliant reds, blues and
melting pastels. His total bill was
comparatively low, however, because

GOWNS. FOR ROYAL WE'D

GOWNS. FOR ROYAL WE'D
DING while many busy
themselves with various de-
tails of today's royal wedding,
women all over the world are
wondering about Princess
Elizabeth's wedding gown,
shown at upper right. For
bridal fashions this fall will
be greatly Influenced by the
styling of Elizabeth's gown.
Adapted from the one worn
by her great great grand
mother, Queen Victoria, at her
marriage, Norman Hartnell,
famed British designer, has
fashioned a gown of heavy
ivory Duchesse satin cut on
classic lines for Elizabeth. On
the right is the artists impress
sion of the princess-styled
gown with its fitted bodice,
long, tight sleeves and full,
falling skirt. The heart
shaped neckline is embroid-
cred delicately with seed pearls
and crystal in a floral design.
White York roses are carried
out in raised pearls entwined
with ears of wheat minutely
embroidered in crystals and
oat-shaped pearls. The hand
embroidered designs on the
skirt were inspired by the
paintings of Botticelli. Alter
mating between the garlands
of roses and wheat and form
ing a final border around the
hem of the skirt, are bands of
orange blossoms and star
flowers appliqued with trans
parent tulle bordered with
seed pearls and crystal. The
ethereal bridal veil of white
tulle is held by a tiara of pearls
and diamonds. The 15-foot-
long fan-shaped full court
train of transparent ivory
tulle is attached to the shoul-
ders and edged with graduated
satin flowers.
On the left is a drawing of
the diaphanous ivory silk tulle
gown worn by her bridesmaids.
The bouffant Victorian skirt of
tulle has clusters of syringa
flowers in applique satin en-
broidered in a similar effect to
the embroidery on Princess
Elizabeth's bridal train. The
gown was inspired by the pic

LONDON, Nov. 20.-Princess Eliza
beth was married this morning in a
rich, classically cut gown created OF
ivory duchesse satin and thickly en-
broidered with thousands of pearls.
For her wedding trip she donned a
| silk dress, travelling coat and high
felt beret all done in smoky blue
shade called "love-in-the-mist."
| A ban of secrecy, imposed at the
princess demand on all reporters
who were given authentic informa-
| ton about the wedding clothes, ex-
tpired last midnight, ending the
terms of signed oaths compelling
silence.
The going away costume sets a
new skirt length for Britain-14
inches from the floor.
Decision Is Compromise.
This is a compromise between the
present British vogue and the MID
calf length prescribed by fashions
moderators in Paris and New York.
The compromise reflected both the
royal family's distaste for showing
off and the nations economic
squeeze which has made cloth too
scarce for fuller styles.
Secrets of Elizabeths limited

from some international fashion
houses who sought to bribe seam
stresses for information so they
could have an advantage over COM
petitors in reproducing the styles

where the dresses were made, to
prevent possible filching of the de-
signs.
The wedding gown will become
a show piece in a public exhibitor
of Elizabeth's wedding gifts which
will open in about 10 days. Event
ually the gown will be placed in
the Victoria and Albert Museum,
alongside wedding gowns of earlier
Queens and Princesses.
Cost Put at $500.
While a palace official said the
cost of the gown was something
under f2OO ($800)." it looked con-
siderably more expensive to me

pledge of secrecy to see the dress,

lloQolilS " OSI GILL
Refers to Delays.
Referring to delay in consideration
of the -Ellender- Wagner bill, he
said, congressional leadership, sup
ported by the real estate lobby, has
not only prevented the Government
from carrying out necessary and
comprehensive housing program,
but has succeeded in destroying a
system of material priorities for
veterans housing.
Heedlng warnings of its "strate-
giStS" that outright support of public
housing for middle Income" fami-
lies now would jeopardize passage of
the Wagner-Ellender-Taft housing
bill, the convention yesterday adopt
ed a compromise proposal urging
liberalization of the measure.
After a battle on the convention
floor, motion favoring public
housing for the middle-income
group-Which in larger cities might
be those having as much as $4,000
or more a year-was tabled by a
127-to-99 vote.
The motion had been amended
previously at the suggestion of John
Ihlder, executive officer of the Ma
tional Capital Housing Authority
who objected to use of the words
middle income"
Robbins Agrees to Change.
Author of the motion, Ira Rob-
bins, former acting New York State
housing commissioner, agreed to
the change, but the motion was
unsuccessful, nevertheless.
Mr.. Robbins, a New York attor-
ney, sought to have the convention
go on record in favor of Govern
ment- produced, owned and man
aged, unsubsidized housing for mid
dle-income families, who can't go
into public housing because their
incomes are too high and who can't
be served by private enterprise be-
cause their incomes are too low"
/ Hotly arguing against adoption
of the proposal, opponents con-
tended it would unnecessarily antag-
ognize Congress. One delegate said
that if the motion we're passed
'it would be the one thing that
would defeat the Taft-Ellender-
Wagner bill"

Britain's genius of ages is en-
tombed.
The brides mother, Queen Eliza
beth, seemed at times to be not
far from tears, but her emotions
were always perfectly controlled. A
smile rippled her mobile face oc-
casionally.
Her entry was one of the tri-
umphs of the day, and women
guests, themselves finely clothed, ex-
claimed their admiration of her
apricot and gold lame gown, end
ing in pointed train.
Poignant Memories for Duchess.
Watchers noted that the King, in
the uniform of admiral of the fleet,
f1dgeted with the handle of his
sword or clenched his hands.
For the Duchess of Kent, widow
for more than five years, the cere-
mony held poignant memories of
her own marriage in the autumn
of 1884, the last royal wedding in
Westminster Abbey.
Moist-eyed, she appeared to well
come the release afforded by her
small sons slip. She gave him a
slight nod.
Many took special note of the
84-year-old doWager Marchioness of
Milford Haven, Philips grandmoth-
er. Plagued by misfortune for 30
years, this frail and wrinkled woman
derived keen happiness from the
marriage of her favorite grandson
to the heiress presumptive She

cumstances which forced her hus-
band, Prince of Battenburg and
First Lord Mountbatten, to relin-
quish his place as Britain's first

Pointed attention was drawn to
King Mihai of Romania, seated with
the bridegroom's circle in the sane
tuary and perhaps the most re-
splendent of all the men in his
braided uniform of dark green.
Guests sought to read there some
sign whether he was romantically
inclined toward Princess Margaret
Rose. However, not so much as q
glance was exchanged between them.

said George Mitchison, general
manager of Hartnell's, but he added
that not even a consultation of his
cost sheets disclosed the exact num-
ber of pearls used.
Each of the flowers and stars
which decorate the skirt use as many
as so seed pearls and many of the
designs also have single pea-sized
pearl in the center.
The gown is made with closely
fitted bodice, heart shaped neckline
and long, tight sleeves. From
pointed Waistline. emphasized with
a girdle of pearl-embroidered star
flowers, a very full swirling skirt
falls in sparkle of pearls and
crystal The neckline, too, is bor-
dered with floral design of seed
pearls and crystal.
Botticelli Inspired Designs.
Mr.. Hartnell said the designs Of
the pearl embroidery on the skirt
were inspired by the paintings OF
Botticelli,' the Florentine artist
whose name has become q symbol
for grace and refinement.
Just below the waist the skirt
is entwined with garlands Of white
York roses-symbolic of the House
of York over which Elizabeth's IA
ther presided before he assembled
the throne-and heads of wheat, the
latter embroidered in oat-shaped
pearls representing each grain.
The wheat motif is an ancient
symbol of fertility and reminder
of the tradition that main task
of the heiress is to produce an
heir and keep intact the line OF
succession to the throne.
Alternating between the strands
of roses and wheat are bands of
orange blossoms and star flowers,
with the pearls appliqued on trans
parent tulle. Orange blossom and
star flower appliques also form a
three band hem border, with the
star flowers above and below the

She had a freshness that most
people lose with youth.
A sort of courageous innocence.
Smiling down the aisle up which
her daughter was to come to achieve
one of the most crucial stages in her
royal destiny, she seemed to be as

supposed, it would be all right if one
behaved well.
