European Tour Offers
Credit, Fashion Insight
By Kay Philips
One of the best ways to get
college credit and have fun at
the same time is to take a
European tour.
This may sound like a
dream, but it was a dream
come true for a group of stu
dents who went on the Uni
versity of Nebraska Extension
Division's "Heritage of Fash
ion" study tour to France,
Belgium, Holland, Germany,
Italy, and England this sum
mer. The course was offered as
part of the Textile, Clothing
and Design Department cur
riculum for 3 to 5 hours of un
dergraduate or graduate
credit.
Miss Audrey Newton and
Mr. Robert Hillestad, chair
man and instructor (respec
tively) of the Department of
Textiles, Clothing and Design,
accompanied the group and
conducted the five - week
course.
Red Carpet Treatment
"Everywhere we went we
got the 'red carpet' treat
ment," Miss Newton Said.
"We were rather a novelty
group, I guess. We noticed it
the most in West Berlin .Ger
many, where they took more
pictures of us then we did of
them."
"The trip was taken to help
broaden the understanding
and experience of the student
in the world of fashion, but
it was also a trip none of us
will ever forget," she said.
Allowed Behind Scenes
Marc Bohan, head design
er at the House of Christian
Dior in Paris, treated the
group to a special showing of
the summer collection, and
talked informally to them
about fashion. The students
were allowed behind the
scenes where they visited
models in their dressing
rooms, and talked with seam
stresses. They visited both the fash
ion house of Charles Mon
taigne in Paris and the school
of fashion, operated by Mon
taigne in Amsterdam. Miss
Newton and Judy Stout, a
member of the group, mod
eled outfits in Montaigne's
summer collection.
House Tours
The group toured lace fac
tories in both Brussels and
Venice, g e 1 1 i n g to see the
lace-making process first
hand.
"The most elegant fashion
house we visited was in Flor
ence, Italy," Miss Newton
said. It is an old palace used
by Pucci, Florence's foremost
designer, which is decorated
in blue and gold, she said.
Pucci is best known for his
bright color combinations and
scarfs. He designed the fa-'
mous B a n i s s airline cos
tumes. German Designers
While in West Berlin a fash
Ion export group made up of
15 of Germany's top design
ers and manufacturers gave
a fashion showing for the Ne
braska group. Such famous
German designers as Uli
Richter and Erich Shafer
showed their collections.
"We were permitted to
cross the Iron Curtain at
'Checkpoint Charlie,' "Miss
Newton said, "but could get
out of the bus only twice while
in East Berlin. No pictures

could be taken until they
were past the guafds.
One thing noticed in par
ticular was the "lack of fash
ion" in this area, she said.
There seemed to be little in
terms of window displays.
Roman Opera
When in Rome, they at
tended the opera "Aeta" at
the outdoor theatre Cana Cal
la, visited a wool mill and
knit factory, and took a tour
through the city.
"Of course, we would have
felt our European tour incom
plete without spending some
time lying on the beach of the
French Riveria," Miss New
ton commented.
One of the highlights of the
trip was meeting and talking
to Princess Grace while visit
ing the grounds and castles
of the Principality of Mona
co. "She is much shorter than
I had believed," Miss Newton
said.
Historic Costumes
The tour ended in London
where they toured the Vic
torian and Albert Museum
which houses historic period
costumes. James Lavier, the
author of historic fashion
books and advisor to the mu
seum spoke to them.
Hemlines Deceive
Women As Weil
The conflict over the esca
lating hemline may have
come to an end.
Fashion houses which show
skirts two and three inches
above the knee said they are
shipping them longer to the
stores.
A Lincoln buyer explained
that the store shows skirts
four Inches above the knee to
get people used to seeing
shorter skirts. He said wo
men then begin to feel their
skirts are too long so they
raise the hemline an inch.
Thus the display has served its
purpose by acting as a stimu
lus. ;:p::::w;)

The average housewife
might never ordinarily cook
a Veau Sylvie or a Flaming
Souffle, or Potage Parmen
tier. But exotic dishes such
as these are becoming in
creasingly familiar on the ta
bles of homemakers who
watch Julia Child cook them
on "The French Chef."
"The French Chef" Is
broadcast twice a week, Tues
day at 8:30 p m., and Thurs
day at 9 p.m. on the Ne
braska Educational Televi
sion Net work, KUON-TV,
Channel 12, Lincoln-Omaha.
Real Charm
The recipes are reason
enough for watching the pro
gram but the real charm of
the show each week is Mrs.
Childs herself. She works in
her attractive French Provin
cial Kitchen with an ease of
manner that is the envy of
any would-be gourmet cook.

navy are the most common
colors for these boxey mili
tary suits.
Fun In Furs
Fun furs are the latest thing
in coats. Department store
buyers describe these as in
expensive fur coats dyed to
look expensive. The coats,
which range from $150 to
$250, are made from rabbit
or lamb and are printed to
resemble mink, chinchilla,
lynx, tiger, leopard, and even
zebra.
Imitation fun furs, which
are made of synthetic fur, are
also on the market and sell at
$40 to $50.
The tent coat full and
flared from the shoulders is
the newest silhouette, though
the skinny coat is still in fash
ion. The suede picture is again
strong with color being the
big story. Suedes are now be
ing sold in blue, green, char
treuse, red, wine, gold, tan,
brown and black. Fur trim
med coats will continue in po
pularity. Boy coats, such as Chester
fields, will be big for juniors.

Kitchen Design
The handsome kitchen of
"The French Chef" was es
pecially designed for Mrs.
Child by Mr. Fran Mahard,
staging facilities director at
WGBH-TV, Boston where the
program is produced.
The modern kitchen in a
French Provincial setting has
just about every appliance
available today, and requires
twice as much electricity to
operate as the average home.
One of the installations pro
vides instant boilint water the

on.
Entirely Portable
For television production
purposes the kitchen has one

The coats can be found in
tweed, heather, brown, blue

Ensembles to Reach High
The number of dress and
predicted to reach a high this
season as more women go for
the dressy sets.
Lengths in coats will vary
from three-quarter and seven
eights to nine-tenths and full.
Vinyl is making a big play
in this year's rain wear. The
reasin is twofold: first, it is
more pliable and softer than
ever before; second, it now
comes in a variety of colors
blue, wine, yellow, green,
black and white.
Buyers say that the London
fog style will remain the most
basic silhouette in raincoats.
Watches are showing a new
face. The most "in" types
this year are big at least an
inch in diameter and have a
wide band of either fabric (of
ten striped) or vinyl.
Racing gloves, part of the
Carneby influence, will be
seen everywhere from church
to football games. These glo
ves have cut-outs over the
back of the hand and on the
knuckles, and come in knit
and leather.

added feature the entire
kitchen is portable. It is
mounted on wheels so it can
be moved easily from stor
age to studio and back, with
the counter breaking into
three segments.
A guest appearance by Ju
lia Child on a WGBH-TV pro
gram called, "I've Been
Reading" prompted the pilot
show that became "The
French Chef." She ha dbeen
asked to make a guest ap
pearance in connection with
her cookbook, MASTERING
THE ART OF FRENCH
COOKING, co-authored with
Simone Beck and Louisette
Bertholle. Her only contact
with television until this had
been a two-month national
tour of the United States to
promote the sale of the cook
book. Numerous Awards
One measure of how weell
Mrs. Childs adapted to the
medium of television is the
numerous awards accorded
"The French Chef" program:
an Emmy in May, 1966; a
special National Educational
Television award to station
WGBH-TV, Boston in April;
and the "George Foster Pea
body" award for "distin
guished achievement m Tele
vision' was given the spring
of 1965.
Mrs. Chhild also has been in
terviewed and written about
in several nationally distrib
uted publications including
Time, Newsweek, Saturday
Evening Post, House and Gar
den, and the New York
Times.
Ironic Success
Julia Child's success in
"The French Chef" was ac
tually quite ironic, because
before her marriage to Paul
Child, she had no particular
interest in cooking. Her hus

in the Cordon ablieu, per
haps the most famous cook
ing school in the world. Later
she and Madames Beck and
Bertholle formed their own
cooking school, $'Ecole des
Trois Gourmandes.
Faithful Fans
Both men and women are
faithful fans of Julia Child in
the Nebraska ETV Network
viewing area. Each week
25-30 letters arrive at the net
work office praising the pro
gram and requesting recipes.
The Childs, whose perman
ent home is in Cambridge,
Mass., are building a s m a 1 1
house in the south of France
where they hope to spend
part of every year. It's there
that Julia plans to create vol
ume two of MASTERING
THE ART OF FRENCH
COOKING.
Whenever "The French
Chef" finishes her new book,
it's sure to be filled with more
recipes for tasty French dish
es like her "Coquilles Saint
Jacques," or "Paella t a
L'Americaine," or "Boeuf a
la Mode." And more thou
sands of homemakers will be
saying with Mrs. Child as she
does when she concludes her
weekly tour de force of the
television kitchen: "Bon Ape
