suffer because they are try
ing to upstage each other.
Virginia Pope, famous
fashion editor, affirms that
generally the women who al
ways talk clothes understand
them the least. A woman who
really knows fashion is above
talking about it constantly.
Mrs. John F. Kennedy's de-
signer, Oleg Cassini, describes
the total fashion bore as "a
woman who has always at
tended the latest fashion
show, knows all the de-
signers' names, who put what
sleeve on what jacket, who
started the pleat, and the
material first used by Simon
eta in Rome in the original
design"
This woman wears an
enormous hat that usually
has nothing to do with her
dress and is always yacking
away"
What really gets him. is
when he meets women and
they look expectantly at him
and ask, do you know who
did this?" Not being clair
voyant or a Univac machine
to spit out the answers, Mr..
Cassini just smiles. When
asked about Mrs. Kennedy's
clothes preferences he again
smiles and says, Like any
woman she can get bored
with certain things, and when
she does that she will create
a trend in another direction"
One thing is certain, Mrs.
Kennedy isn't in his eStima-
ton a clothes bore.
Adele Simpson finds the
fashion bore to be similar to
any other kind of a bore. 81

quently discover what women
need in this way. However,
like anything else, if the con-
verSation is dominated by any
one subject, it can get pretty
monotonouS."
She believes there are more
important things in life than
just clothes. Clothes are a
part of living and fashion is
a living, changing thing"
Adele notes. Most women she
meets as she travels through
out the United States and
throughout the world are in
terested in beauty. 1.-The bore
forgets to relate fashion to
reality, that's ALL"
Lilly Dache in her flutter-
ing French-accented speech,
declares a fashion bore to be
the person who slavishly fol-
lows fashion without think
ing it through on a personal
basis. "It is a designers re-
ward to see what she has
designed have acceptance, but
women should be careful that
it is in, their own proportion.
Women who talk clothes
constantly have an obsession
and no obsession is healthy"
is her feeling.

NEW 4ONh, N. T., Jan. 13.
Are you a fashion bore?
Maybe you know someone
who qualities.
The characteristics are easy
to spot.
It could be someone who
looks at you and says, That's
a nice outfit; I almost bought
it," the implication being, of
course, that they're glad they
didn't cause you did.
Then there's the person
who doesn't say hello" pre-
ferring to stop you dead with,
Where did you get that?"
the inference being, I'm not
noticing you, but can't ignore
you either"
The fashion bore comes in
many varieties.
According to Luis Estevez,
a fashion bore can be a
woman who wears a little
black dress, a couple of
strands of pearls, and a flow
cred hat" She corners you at
a cocktail party or a dinner
and talks clothes. "She's a
bore If she doesn't realize
that designers can have other
things on their minds" Betty
Estevez, his wife, thinks the
fashion bore is a woman who
is terribly chic and has
nothing to say"
Melissa Weston Bancroft,
society lovely turned working
girl-model, says her fashion
bore is a person who doesn't
know anything but talks au-
thoritatively about fashion,
and obviously has no taste"
Women who are always ex-
cusing something they are
wearing as "just a cheap lit
tie thing" are also labeled
bores.
Pauline Trigere, named to
the best-dressed list this
month in the professional
fashion category" finds peo-
pie who constantly attack de-
signers, boreS. Her pet peeve
is the woman who looks at
her and says, well, you de-
sign only with yourself in
mind. Look at your figure"
Says Pauline, "These women
look at you with great jeal-
ousy and don't do anything
about it," The practicing Yogi
enthusiast says, "At least I
work at it." A woman who
constantly talks about
clothes is a great bore.
Shop talk is one thing
just as painters talk painting,
and doctors talk medicine.
But a woman who talks about
going to her hairdresser
rather than of art, music or
other intelligent things, is
stupid" insists Pauline.
Fashion has to be thought
of as you would plan your day
of work. You know what has
to be done and do it. 1T
has to be thought through
like a good dinner for
friends" says Pauline. "You
simply don't discuss the in
gradients at the dinner ia
ble," she laughs.

1t was quite apparent last
evening that the head of the
smallest independent coun-
try in Africa looms in stature
as one of the truly great
leaders in that whole CONT
nent.
President Sylvanus Olym-
pic of Togo was accorded at
the State Department dinner
in his honor the kind Of
private as well as public
praise that rarely is bestowed
upon a visiting chief Of state.

RETARY Of State George

after dinner toast as lone of

of destiny for his own coun-
try and for the continent.
and the wisdom and maturity
to contribute to its building.
Already the weight and
character of his maturity and
judgment have begun to be
felt in the councils Of the
African states." said Mr..
Ball.

Some of us are great be-
levers in the United Nations.
We feel quite sincerely for the
peace of the world there is
no other organization in the
world today as the U. N,
even If some European powers
who helped build it are losing
faith in it. But we feel If
anything happens to the
United Nations, we will be in
danger of losing our security"
Pointing out that America
was isolationist when intent
on developing her own coun-
try, he said Togo and Africa
preferred to remain neutral
now in order to concentrate
all their efforts on their own
problems. Then he quoted an
old proverb that a pig in the
mud never gets so covered
with mud it can't see its way
home.
