Orchids Bloom Like Dandelions At International Flower Show
New York (U.P.)—Orchids are blooming like dandelions at the International Flower show being held this week in the heart of Manhattan.
One of the first gardens to greet you when you enter the four floors of flowers is described as an India orchid garden, complete with a tame cockatoo, a waterfall, pool stocked with gold fish and two coconut palm trees and 110 orchids.
"We're only showing the cymbidium and crypipedium orchids," explained Mrs. Ira Haupt, who grows orchids with her husband in West Deal, N. J. She was wearing a small gold cymbidium orchid (spray orchid to the layman), but the highlight of the garden, she said, was the rose-colored spray orchid named for Mahatma Gandhi.
Garden clubs as well as individuals compete for honors in the annual flower show. This year, for the first time, the men's garden club of the veterans hospital at Northport, L. I. joined the show. Their vegetable and flower garden, laid out in neat rows, adjoined the annual exhibit of the men's garden club of New York.
"More men are getting interested in gardening. I guess," commented Victor Greiff, of Neponsit, L.I., president of the men's club. "We get all ages and all kinds."
Mr. Groiff confided that about the
rarest house plant in their display was the "spathiphyllum," a member of the calla lily family. "Our early American water garden is pretty unusual too," he said, pointing to an old-fashioned China pitcher and wash bowl planted with umbrella palm, Chinese evergreen tradescantia and dracaena.
"I insisted that it be labelled 'stellaria media,'" Mr. Greiff said, nudging another member in the ribs, "but it's really chick weed—it grows every place."
Full And Feminine Fashions Are Previewed In Paris
In another corner of the men's display was a small bowl of green that was bringing sly chuckles from the men.
Paris (U.P.)—The last word in spring fashions for 1951 has been pronounced in this world capital of couture.
The Garden Club of America composed of both men and women members, laid out an entire model main street, including store fronts, play grounds and a school, to show how it could be made more beautiful with flowers and shrubbery.
The major designers laid down their decrees for women's styles in nine days of preview presentations attended by fashion correspondents from all over the world.
Jeanne Lavin's collection marked the end of the sumptuous display. Designed by Antonio de Castillo, Lavin's line agreed with this year's fashion news—fullness and femininity, smooth and never bulky.
Christian Dior, Pierre Balmain and Jacques Fath were presented with awards by the fashion staff of Filenes of Boston at a large party celebrating the 2,000th anniversary of the city of Paris. An immense five-tiered birthday cake with 2,001 candles was served, ten men having been employed to light the candles. It took them five minutes.
"Modern living . . . a simplified, more polished look" was the key to Castillo's cut. He achieved slimness with feminine accents in softly moulded busts, rounded natural shoulders, unexaggerated waists and long-legged skirt lines in wrap-arounds cut on the bias.
Suits were belted with long rounded basques. Short waist-length coats had enlarged circular Chinese collars. Apron effects of pleating in front earned still another triumph, assuring widespread imitation.
Other Castillo touches were extremely original. His "morning glory" skirt appeared in cocktail and evening dresses, featuring a starched, fluted hem ruffle, like the circular ruffed collars of old Dutch paintings. Another evening dress had a bouffant skirt fashioned in a basket weave of broad lengths of white satin. Miniature duffle bags of linen went with play clothes.
Puffs of balloon draping in mousseline or organza, starting at the waist and pinched in a bloomer effect at knee level, were new this year, too.
Newcomers To Show Fashions March 8
A fashion show will be given by Newcomers club in the Union ballroom at 8 p.m. Thursday for Newcomer members and their guests. Members of the University Women's club and their guests are invited.
Mrs. Blakemore Thomas, is chairman of the program committee, and Miss Dorothy Reinhold and Mrs. Edward A. Van Eck have charge of tables. Mrs.B.H. Neal, Mrs. Warren Snyder, and Mrs. Don Fairhurst have charge of admissions. Admission will be 25 cents.
Members of the Newcomers club will be models.
Triangular scarves tied point down at the throat and triangular necklines were distinctive effects, as were espadrilies in matching materials for play clothes. Buttons were invisible and functional. Mannequins carried long umbrellas with straight handles.
A single "Traviata" curl hung to shoulder length in Castillo's gala coiffure, and a tiny rhinestone beauty spot sparkled as an eye-catcher.
Featured fabrics again included shantung and surah, but more silk, including silk prints on shirt-dresses and cocktail robes.
Colors used confirmed the "right-ness" of navy and white for spring, but brighter hues dear to Castillo's native Spain appeared, such as a range of yellows, from sunshine to chamois red" and "biarritz blue."
Cranston, R. I. (U.P.)—Four and twenty blackbirds would have had room to spare in the pie baked for hospital patients by Francis L. McNeill, Cranston baker. It measured 40 inches across and weighed 150 pounds.
