First Lady
Plans Fall
Wardrobe
BY FRANCES LEVINE
Associated Press Staff Writer

Mrs. John F. Kennedy, still
mentioning on Cape Cod,
is making some decisions
about her fall wardrobe.
The White House con-
firmed yesterday that her
designer, Oleg Cassini of New
York, spent the week end in
Hyannis Port. Mass, confer
ring with Mrs. Kennedy on
ideas for her fall clothes.
What they decided was not
revealed.
1t was Cassini's first trip
there, although he has con-
suited with Mrs. Kennedy
both at the White House
and at the Kennedys' Palm
Beach home.
Cassini's own fall and win
ter collection, displayed for
the fashion experts in New
York last month, indicates
he's stressing the brightest
colors. And the First Lady
may follow his trend.
Also, his collection included
skinny, floor length evening
dress and fringed shawls, plus
coats cut with wide, below
the-elbow sleeves, usually
collarless and unbelted with
a loose fit, with skirts flared
slightly.
Since Mrs. Kennedy be-
came First Lady. Cassini has
been acknowledged as her
sole designer and fashion CO.
ordinator. She has bought
elsewhere, however, including
a celebrated evening dress by
the French Designer Civ
enchy, which she wore at
Versailles.
She also can be expected to
continue to make some pur-
chases from the New York
speciality shop she has pa
tronized before, Chez Ninon
of Park avenue.

the official greeting of the

Autographs Doll
The Vice Presidents wife
posed for pictures with Lola
and signed the young visi-
tors autograph doll. which
was dressed in a Confederate
uniform.
Pert Lola was diagnosed as
having Muscular Dystrophy
when she was four. She lives
in st. Louis with her mother
and stepfather, Mr.. and Mrs.
Harold Cameron, and half
sister, Lorna. Her father
died shortly before she was
born.
Accompanying Lola to
Washington trip was her
grandmother, Mrs. James T.
Malin of st. Louis. They left
late yesterday afternoon.

This momentary disap-
pointment was soon forgotten
as Miss Baldrige quickly
opened a door, saying that
here was something she could
get a close view Of. 1t was the
Presidents swimming pool.
THAT doesn't look like a
swimming pool-it's more like
a lake" was Lola's observa-
ton.
OF great fascination in the
Presidents office was Mr..
Kennedy's desk.
AS Lola was wheeled around
the historic piece of furniture,
she kept feeling it and re-
peating, THE wood is old,

asked, rs that the chair /

She had spotted his rocker.
A tour of the Cabinet room,
where Lola felt each chair,
revealed that the little girl
was practicing up remember
ing names. Later in the after
noon she was to meet Health,
Education and Welfare Sc
cretary Abraham Ribicoff.
The name Ribicoff is really
quite simple, according to
Lola-all you have to remem-

Nikita Khrushchev. The dog,
an offspring of Strelka, the
Russian space dog, received a
loving pat from Lola.
AS she left, Lola was given
a bright yellow piece of
candy by Mrs. Evelyn Lin
coin, secretary to the Presi-
dent. She refused to eat it,
firmly stating, III save it
forever
For r White House visit,
Lola wore a green velvet

Meets
Lady Bird
By DAISY CLELAND
Star Staff Writer

A little, blond, brown-eyed
girl had a special glimpse of
the inside of the White House
and the Presidents office
yesterday from a wheel
chair.
She is Seven-year-old Lola
Lucas of st. Louis, Mo, who
is the national poster child
for this years Muscular
Dystrophy Association.
Lola arrived at the White
House a little before noon
and was given the special
tour by Miss Letitia Baldrige,
Social Secretary to Mrs.
Kennedy.
Meets Mrs. johnson
Later Mrs. Lyndon johnson,
in a ceremony in the East
Ballroom, met Lola and pre-
sented her with a contribu-
ton from President and Mrs.
Kennedy as well as one from
the Vice President and her
self to start the 1861 Muscu-
lar Dystrophy fund raising
campaign.
Lola, who wears heavy
braces on her legs but sports
a bright, contagious smile,
is a victim of the disease.
However, the glamour of
meeting VIPS and the his
toric glitter of the Executive
Mansion didn't seem to take
top billing for Lola, who is
every bit a little girl.
AS she was being wheeled
down the lower floor hall to
the Presidents office, her
bright eyes lit on Caroline
kennedy'S play house that
was given to her by President
and Mrs. de Gaulle. The pro-
cession stopped as Lola asked
if she could see the inside
of the little house with Caro-
lines name over the door.
Boy! Is that ever a big
play housed" was her excited
remarked.
Next, as she went past the
rose garden. the little girl
