FASHION NOTEBOOK
NoreII Is rode's
Most Copied Man

Norell loves the starkneSS OF
black. Many Norell devotees
wish they could turn their
clothes inside out to show
the superb craftsmanship. A
master of contrast he tailors
one gown and then swings
over to a clinging mermaid
sheath complete with feather
boa for a jazzy look. Norell
told us a number Of years
ago that he frankly has
always been infatuated with
the 20s.
Guy Douvier of Christian
Dior, USA. focused attention
on the girdled midriff in
skirts and dresses that en-
phasized the rib cage. The
tight basque-like look flows
into dome-like skirts, some
with inverted cartridge pleats
at the hipline. The Dutch Boy
look with brisk. little straight
jackets and gathered skirts is
a Dior signature this fall.
Neatest fur accent we saw
this week was the 10-inch
wide, long straight stole. The
girl in the grey flannel belted
suit or the famed Dior coat
dress is back. Goats marked
with "escalator" pockets .
martingales lavish fur
borders minaret shapes
-. and princess shapes are
seen. Many lifted lines are
apparent in coats with con-
trolled shaping and with
hens that move outward
from the body. Best evening
look is the opulent gown with
the fantail back. Most sensa-
tional evening gowns here are
coupled with matching coats,

the artist submitted four lit
tie drawings from which the
design for the big screen was
chosen. The little samples
are so lovely that they have
been framed and hung as a
group on another wall. Old
Wedgewood plaques have
been set into the mantle in
this room, where a feeling
of spaciousness, combined
with lovely, subtle use Of
muted colors, produces an
atmosphere Of quiet peace.
Mr.. Smith takes a special
pride in his fabulous collec-
ton of eagle emblem Love-
stoft. to which he adds when
ever he can locate another
piece. He has an eye for anti
ques and beauty and put his
talent to great use when it
came to rescuing family heir
looms from the house Of his
grandmother, Mrs. A. Alex
ander Smith. The house
which stood in New York on
the spot that is now Rookie
Teller Center. A pair Of heavy
brass candleabra hidden for
years were identified as hav-
ing been made in France in
1850 and arc now a magnifi-
cent pair of lamps. He also
found an 1870 Tiffany clock
in a heavy oak case. This he
had restored and the oak
ebonized, turning it into the
handsome heirloom now on
the stair landing.
ONE OF THE MOST UN-
USUAL and beautiful pieces
Of furniture in the house is
an enormous French Empire
desk. This was designed in
the Egyptian era Of the
French Empire and the solid
brass feet are in the form Of
Sphinx nearly two feet tall.
The desk has been document
ed and it was found to have
been bought in 1882 by a cap
tain in the United States
Navy who wrote to his wife in
Maryland that he was bring
ing it to her from New Or
leans.
On the top floor is the
master bedroom, sitting room,
and the terrace, centered with
a charming bronze statue OF
a child. Here. high over Key
Bridge, the view is spectacu-
lar, but 1t cannot claim your
entire attention. The sitting
room is comfortable and at
tractlve with a contemporary
feeling. The walls are hung
with a collection Of lithog-
raphs Of the Napoleonic Wars
and a famous series called
South Sea Whale Fishery
(1825).

NEW YORK, N. Y. July
IS. - Hes the greatest"
said a noted dress manu-
facturer, who adapts rather
than being creative where
his own clothes are con-
celned.
Mr.. Great, himself. is Nor
man Norell. the most copied
designer in New York. He is
modest and is the incest
man know in the business"
said the manufacturer who
often finds the Norell adap-
tation is often his own best
seller.
He's also American as
apple pie. Born in Mobiles
vile, Indiana, Norell is a man
who loves the dramatic. This
may stem from his early de-
sign days when he used to
skip classes at the Parsons
School of Design and head
for the silent movie sets in
Long Island City. Today.
Parsons claims him as its
most outstanding alumnus.
Seeing a Norell collection
is pure theater from the
moment the curtain opens
and the first mannequin
energies.
This autumn and winter
1962-63 collection is replete
with fashion fireworks that
are more than just spectacu-
lar-they are beautiful to
watch.
The mannequins look like
Japanese dolls with their lac
quered-looking short hair,
closer to the head than ever.
and their white artificial
painted on" makeup.
Norell is an advocate Of
the "individualist" look in
fashion. The woman who
seeks this dimension is his
kind of gal.
In his own way Norell is
simple, direct, and to the
point. Pomposity is ruled out
in his evening gowns which
are either slim or have arched
skirts. He uses rich fabrics
such as damask, satin, bro
cade, heavy crepes, velvets,
and crisp faille.
He likes jersey and uses
1t in simple suits and in
little dresses with easy-belted
sweater-like jackets.
Sleeveless suits to be worn
in early fall or during the
winter under his loose and
comfortable coats are a Nor
ell preference this season.

In any room in the George
town house of Mr.. H. Alex
ander Smith, jr., there exists
the immediate problem Of
which way to turn. The view
from the house is one Of the
best in Washington and the
treasure filled rooms them
selves are so lovely that its
a real problem to choose a
seat.
For the guest who picks
the view, Mr.. Smith provides
a panorama of the Virginia
shoreline, the winding Po-
tomac, and several of the
Capitals most famous monu-
ments. This scene can be en-
joyed from the tree shaded
garden or the huge second
floor windows, but it is at
its best from the sun terrace
on the fourth floor.
Mr.. Smith remodeled the
house four years ago, adding
the top floor to the existing
three and adding several feet
to the front of the building,
providing a good deal of extra
house" while producing a
very handsome facade.
THE GROUND FLOOR is
occupied by a foyer. a small
kitchen, a pantry of yacht
like trimness and efficiency,
and a dining room that opens
onto the garden, where grows
a large and beautiful mag
nolia tree.
1t is possible to ascend to
the drawing room floor and
the others above by means Of
stairs or a tiny elevator that
is easily mistaken for a chic
phone booth being, as it
is, about half full Of a tele-
phone, reassuringly placed
there for contact with res
cuers in case of malfunction.
Mr.. Smith is a descendant
of the Starbuck family, whose
famous fortune was made in
whaling. Among the many
antiques he has collected and
inherited are some pieces
from the Starbuck mansions
in Nantucket. A Hepple-
white bench placed in front
of the tall front window on
the second floor is from one

as is the rare Chippendale

enormously.

State Fair
Record
10000 Plus

More than 10000 persons
poked around the Delaware State
Fair Saturday to boost the fairs
total attendance to a record
80, ,000-plus.
George C. Simpson, general
manager of the fair, reported
these approximate figures and
said he was very pleased with
the attendance and even the
weather.
The fair got off to a windy
start with a storm that caused
a half-million dollars damage
to midway amusements.
Monday night another breezy
thundershower sent patrons
scurrying.
But the rest of the week was
ideal, said Simpson, exceptper-
haps for a little dampness on
Wednesday.
The $4,000 figure tops the
previous record attendance of
several years ago by more than
10000, said Simpson.
Where did the extra people
come from7
81 think the increase in the
gate came from New Castle
County," said ]. Baker Taylor,
a fair director from Whining =

victim as Horace Shelton of
Augusta, Ga.
Police said they captured a

The first sign notifying mot
orists of the use of the air
craft, radar and unmarked cars,
by the State Police, is displayed
along US. l3 just south of
Troop 5 at Bridgeville. The
7 X ~ billboard type sign
contains the message "Traf-
fic Controlled by Radar, Air
craft, Unmarked Cars--Dela-
ware State Police. 1t also de-
picts a radar unit, an airplane
and patrol car.
The erection of such signs
throughout the State was one
of the suggestions presented
to the Traffic Safety Committee
of the State Highway Commits
sion by Colonel John P. Fer
guson on July S. 1862. 1t is
felt that through the use of
such signs the local motor
lists, and the presidents, will
become better acquainted with
the enforcement program of the
State Police and that they will
serve as a deterrent to those
who may tend to exceed the
speed limit or drive In a care
less or reckless manner.
The billboard was erected
approximately two years ago
through the efforts of Cor
poral George H. Scholz of Troop
5. Corporal Scholz has been
a member of the State Police
for eleven years and prior to
becoming a State Trooper he had
been trained In commercial art
and had had six years expert
ence in this type of work.

'Now that the rezoning has been

"Ventures of this kind are not
