Portrait
LustinQ
Likeness

Making It's debut here this
week is a new kind of portrait
designed to reproduce-forever-
as perfectly as possible a living
likeness of person.
Now in the window of the
Connecticut avenue furniture
store that handles the portraits
are striking likenesses of Presi-
dent Eisenhower, Queen Eliza
beth. Abraham Lincoln and
others. all in rich color. all with
three dimensional quality.
Not oil paintings. although
they look like them. and not
color photographs in the usual
sense. the portraits actually are
produced by a chemical-mechan-
ical treatment of a black and
white negative. Lou Gross,
president of the Dobbs Ferry,
N. Y, firm that produces the
portraits, refrains from disclosing
details of the process. but ex-
planned that it involves impreg-
mating the color, rather than
rubbing it in or painting it..
Hand-coloring is used only in
highlighting details that can't
be picked up in any other way.
The completed portrait is on
heavy two-sided smooth tempered
masonic. It is practically her.
medically sealed with a special
colorless plastic coating. Because
of this, it is guaranteed never to
fade, regardless of the light or
atmospheric pressure to which it
Is exposed. It can be washed
with soap and water. If
scratched, it can be restored.
Reminiscing about the days
when photographs were as much
a part of the home as the horse
hair sofa, Mr.. Gross predicted
that his work will again make
family portraits smart and deco
rative. These will be integrated
into the home, with the size and
type frame selected accordingly
Frames to harmonic with vari-
Gus periods are available.
Old photographs can be used.
But the company prefers to have
the picture taken by a good pho
tographer of it's own choice, a
specialist in men, women or chill
dren, as the case may be, who
has been advised on the most
effective way to take picture
for this purpose.
Optical company charts are
used to designate the color of
the eyes. Bits of material are
sent along to help the colorists
achieve proper texture treatment.
Ever since the Stone Age man
has been trying to do this, to
reproduce as perfectly as pos
sible what the eye sees when it
looks at a person" Mr.. Gross re-
marked. He believes his firm
has found the answer,

Afraid of
the Dark
By Angelo Potri

If it is possible a child should
have it's own bed, and also have
his own room. There are little
children who make life miserable
for their parents by demanding
that they sleep in their bed. That
should not be encouraged.
Why this desire is so strong
in children that they will worry
parents to win their wish, can
only be guessed at. Maybe they
feel more secure in the company
of the older people. All children
dislike the dark and being alone
at night. They may be afraid.
Perhaps when i'll they found
comfort in their mothers bed.
Whatever the reason the child
should be taught to sleep alone.
He may cry, but he must learn
by experience that crying will
avail nothing and that he must.
sleep alone. The parents should
not yield to the youngster, and
in the end it will mean peace for
the parents and a better under
standing on the part of the child.

in his basket, then in his crib.
without exception. It may ap-
pear necessary. expedient: the
chlld's crying may be annoying.
but yielding in this case means
increasing trouble in time to
come. Begin right and hold to it.
Many children fight bedtime.
Again the cause is easy to de-
termine. 1t may be natural re-
luctance to leave parents. 1t may
be a fear, perhaps q remembered

ever it is bedtime should be OBJ
served by the clock, the child put
in his bed and kept there no

and chooses her gift pieces
carefully.
Those who believe a Queen
spends recklessly, would have
been astonished if they had been
present when she was leaving one
shop recently. She turned to the
proprietor and asked: Il have
had a number of things from you.
Have you sent your bill?" On
being assured that he had, she
continued: "And have you re-
ceived your check? 1t was quite
a large bill and I wouldn't want
you to be kept waiting"

from every angle, it must not
hide the wearer's face, and it
must fit. Once a royal lady is
dressed she cannot tuck in stray
ends of hair or adjust slipping

them dyed if necessary and then
the queen examines the designs"
Like every carefully gloomed
woman. the Queen has a favorite
dressmaker who alters and re-
pairs her everyday clothes as
we'll as making simpler dresses.
her majesty has known Miss
Ford-the whole royal family
call her "Poppet"-Since she was
a young girl and went to watch
the Queen Mother being fitted.
Miss Ford was then with an old
established firm with an aristo-
cratic clientele. When she
started her own business. the
then Duchess of York gave her
patronage and that of her two
little daughters. They remain
loyal customers. Miss Ford
made many dresses for royal
tours and at the same time has
"refixed" one black net evening
gown-the royal owner consid-
ers lucky-over and over again.
Shoes Not Specially Mode
The Queens shoes are not
made specially for her. but a Sc
lection in her size is brought to
the palace from a well-known
London shoe firm, for her to
try on.

will shop for some special item
for the queen, but more often

A work of art need not neces-
sarily imply something that is
housed in a museum or in your
home. True you can't easily
walk around with a painting or
a piece of pottery but YOU can,
if you are a woman, really enjoy
some of the contemporary Jew
elry that it now available in
Washington and which by ar
tistic standards Is as much a fine
art as any other creative en-
deavor.
Recent decades have seen great
changes occurring in the design
CT numerous every day objects.
Furniture, pottery, clothing and
automobiles have all taken on
new forms and been made up in
many new materials.
1t has only been during the
last five years. however. that a
number of fine artists and
craftsmen have turned their Gre
alive talents to the creation of
really exciting jewelry.
Jewelry artist-designers today
who choose to ignore stereotyped
shapes and stones are not con-
cerned with jewelry that is only
a manifestation of the wearer's
wealth or of its own preciousness.
They are concerned with the ar
tistic and decorative merit of the
jewelry itself. Since the main
function of jewelry is to decorate
and complement the wearer this
is what they stress.
Leaving the gold standard
many of them have started work.
ing in less valuable materials
such as aluminium, copper, brass,
silver and plastics. Not only has
new meaning been given to
these materials but new forms
and techniques have been
evolved.
A fine art quality is what the
creative jewelry designers are
after, and all feel that a piece
OF jewelry should have as much
integrity of its own as a paint
ing or a piece of sculpture.
Thinking along these lines
produces variety and individual
ity and a real trend toward SIM
plicity and boldness of design.
Another thing that at once be-
comes apparent on viewing jew
elry of this type is that contrast
ing textures are used a great
deal. dull areas are set against
polished ones, and smooth shapes
are just that.
One of the strong trends to
emerge from the contemporary
artist designers is that of mobile
jewelry. Three dimensional
beauty comes through the con-
tinuously changing patterns and
designs the jewelry takes OH
when in space or in motion.
Mobile earrings are perhaps
the best expression of this kind
of jewelry design though many a
necklace, bracelet. or ring will
possess the same charm of mo-
ton.
The examples of the mobile
jewelry pictured represents the
work of three leading American
designers. We think that they
are all-year-round works Of art
with particular meaning right

The royal family are we'll
aware of their influence on trade
and there is careful planning
and investigation before they
lend their support to any mer-

large shop. For many years the

lace industry and she repeatedly
refused to visit one large depart

the employees were underpaid and
did not have adequate rest and
welfare facilities.

their applications for the privi-

When sine is touring an exhibit
ton or sale of work, the Queen
may buy a number of small

In London, a few people
