Says Dior Designer > By NADEANE WALKER ~~ '••:•.-'
PARIS <*) — Dior dcsigbcr Yves Saint-Laurent today » lowered the hemline by several inches — to.about 15 inches from the floor, . '••
^|nt:Jy|ur^MX_b€^L%o was J*P to five inches lower ifaan those of other Paris fashion nouses whose fall and winter collections have been shown so Tar. Their skirts have cleared the floor by as much as 20 inches.
The H o u s e of Dior's new "curie line curves both shoulders and skirls. The silhouette is ihort-waisted but not truly empire.
* • • A FIVE-INCH D R O P v i n
length caught every other major house with skirts hiked up to the knee.
The difference in the Dior midcalf length is enough to look revolutionary — especially as it is combined with an entirely new shape.
The Saintiaurent silhouette is" of perfectly rounded medium fullness caught in with unpressed folds or pleats by. a belt a couple of inches Selow the bustline.
It has little or nothing in common with the high-waisted, short-skirted empire line teen •vervwhere else this season.
It looks as u* young Saint-" Laurent, having tasted success with his first collection last spring, wants to show who is master of the mode.
If he succeeds in pulling skirts down, there can be no further question.
* * • APPLAUSE, which started
early in the showing, broke out time and again and swelled to 7-an uproar at the end of the ihow.
The "curve" l i n e appeared first in a suit. The jackets were scooped up in front with the skirts standing off the hips and curving gently in at the midcalf hemline.
Cape coare covered matching dresses in the same silhouette but by cocktail clothes time, tome skirts had dwindled down to slender tubes just a m p l e enough not to touch the body while others swelled out in puff balls.
* * * FOR THE EVENING, Saint-
Laurent really puts on the dog with bc-jewellcd velvctjjirdcage skirts fit to sweep the floor of a Venetian palace and bearing such proud names as Dogess, Emir and Sultana.
Necklines are so low-scooped that they cut Dior's star mannequin out of the parade. Exotic Alia, watching from the audience, said she was too thin to wear the new decolletage, which Is revealing indeed. As one spec- . tutor remarked: "If you wear that, you'd better not sneeze."
But if Saint-Laurent pulled the rug out from under the competition on hem lengths, he at least put the royal stamp of approval on black, already remarked as the season's top color. Whole sections of the Dior show were as black as a funeral.
WHEN THE MOOD lightened, it was with blazing red, intense rose, sapphire blues, gold flame and a range of Victorian pastels, like dove grey, silver beige andi>ronze and tage green.
There were so many formal! embroidered all over with.jewels that they must *have kept, an \ army of seamstresses stitching for months.
The audienc eleven saw—for the first time—a Dior creation that was only half finished'. A pink satin formal coat and the back in canvas, with the embroidery design outlined in pencil.
* * * SAINT-LAUREMT, who has
just been announced as the winner of this yearls Nciman-Marcus fashion award, called • one of his best "day dresses. "Dallas." It was in grey wool with the signature silhouette.
Heavy velvet woolens were used for coats that were really capes, curved in at the hem, and with little three-inch sleeves cut in at elbow-height. Some of these coats were three-quarter length, but most were mid-calf.
Saint-Laurent made a whole group of nearly ankle-length cocktail or short formal dresses. Like the long formals, most of them covered up the arms with sleeves, while baring the shoulders and bosom, a trick that makes the decolletage look even more revealing than it is.
• * . * •
SOME BELTS — a l w a y s above the waistline —» were at least six inches wide* A few
^ skirts got their curved-in hemline from unpressed folds-at the bottom lending them more the look of bloomers than of harem skirts which are more fully gathered to a small hobble hem.
The designer emphasized his high waistline w i t h diamond clips or barrets worn centered under the bosom. Other models had big riding-crop loops or half-bows in the same position.
t * •
WITH SOME of the most dramatic evening numbers, mannequins carried long-handled black velvet nose-and-eye masks, some.of them d r i p p i n g jet fringe. Several heavy gold lame coats were lined or bordered with' sable.
Feathered casque hats sported little visors, and topknot cockades dropped figure-swathing black Veiling to the hem. There-were full baby doll backs for formal wear, and some long, flat back panels on both day and evening models.

Amy Vanderbilt's Etiquette
Who Shakes Hands First? IN MY VARIOUS WRITINGS I tend to neglect the
bachelor. It is hard to realize that bachelors, too, have problems.
I did a little survey on some prominent bachelor friends of mine and came up with their answers to the matter of a bachelor's entertaining.
"DEAR M I S S VAMDER
IF THE STRAIN of preg- ~.\ -* * * nancy has made your complexion dry, the daily use of a l'ubri- - . ._.. . . _.. eating cream will help. One farn^ V r W t O D U T D ous beauty house offers, an emulsion that can be used all day under makeup, and at night, too. Because it can work 24 hours a day, it should speedily counteract the dryness and bring back the soft bloom to your checks.
If you find you tire easily, sensible, nutritious food and a nap every afternoon will soon dispel the weariness. Don't skip that daily rest period, for the delightful new member of the family will create many additional chores for mom.

Ann Landers Says:-
You Think It'sTough * -
BTLT: Is it proper for a man with naturally damp or sweaty hands to offer and accept handshakes? How should such an indrvidifaT properly react.to the variety of handshaking situation*'" with friends and unknows that present themselves during t b « course of a busy day.
—M.A., Memphis, Term."
SOMETIMES PEOPLE w h o are a little un- j s u r e socially j h a v e t h e i r f hands b r e a k s out in a sweaty when they a r e ] faced with such| s i t u ations so-> cially as shak-: ing hands. If this is the case, w i t h you, the] best thing is to AMY be sure t h a t you understand all of the aspects of s u c h introductions. You should know that:
(1.) It is in this country the lady who makes the first move to shake hands, b u t that in Europe it is the V t h e r way around. •
(2.) • Men, on shaking hands with each other, whether during the course of an introduction or merely in tform of greeting, rise —unless rising for one or the other is impossible. And then an excuse is made. A gentleman, of course, rises to acknowledge en introduction to a lady and, as I said, here in this country he waits until 6he extend* her hand if she is going to in acknowledgement of the introduction. She may merely bow.
(3.) A gentleman upon entering anybody's house does, how-' ever, go forward to shake hands with the hostess. He does not wait until she extends her hand for this purpose. He also shakes hands with the host. E v e n though he may be a younger man, he does not need to wait for his host to make the first move.
Now about the sweaty hands. You should realize that some people have damp hands a n d some people have very jdry ones. Some hands are cold and some are warm. The best thing is to forget completely about your hands and never to • make an apoJogWnor wipe them off before shakrag hands with anyone, as t<bis merely calls atten- fc tion to the possible sweatiness.
OjLcourse, if your hands are actually dirty — for example, someone comes upon you while you are doing your gardening or are Under the car — that's' another matter. And if you can't successfully wipe your haad clean before offering it in a handshake, apologize arid merely bow.

DEAR ANN: My boy friend and I have a problcnvWe want to get married but we aren't of legal age. We can't get our parent's consent-in fact they blew their tops when we mentioned it. If we-both got jobs we could get along O.K.
We're in love and we spend every possible minute together. So far we've been able to keep our emotions in check but to be honest with you, 1 don't know how much longer we can hold out. It's getting to be i tough battle for both of us.
Wc know of other couples who are in the same boat and they don't know the answer cither. Please give us some advice, Ann. It's awfully tough to be young and in love.—MOOD INDIGO

• • ' * • DEAR ANN: Five years ago my younger
brother (then 24) borrowed $500 to get married on. Ten months later they had a set of twins. In 1954 he had to buy a1 new car because the old.one.was falling apart and a car is essential in his work. That same year they had a third son.
In 1956 his wife had a baby girt (which made everyone happy after three boys) but she later had complications and had to go back to the hospital. The bill was $250 and my brother asked

SORRY, VICTOR, I'm with your wife. Just because the sHork is practically a household pet at your brother's home is no reason for you to make excuses for him.
In my book your brother owes you $750. The-price of the fur jacket should have been applied to his debt. People who owe^money and indxilge themselves in luxuries have no sense of responsibility.
