PARIS REPORT This Is What You Would Have Done By ANDREA Contrlbutlnc Writer PARIS, Mar. 17—If you had been in Paris last week what would you have done to be up to date, to do what the Parisians do, and to make the most of your stay? First, you would have managed to see the new Dior collection, (the biggest in Paris—2oo dresses). You may not have liked the low belts on the hips and the difficult-to-wear chiffon dresses with long and large ruffles in the back, but you would have raved about the little checkered or navy blue suits with matching berets, to wear coquettishly over one side of the forehead; and you would have loved the thick, fluffy hair nets to go with cocktail blouses. Or the very young short evening dresses embroidered ■E Maria Callas Aristotle Onissis or in printed tulle, and cer tainly the long tight formal dresses named after famous opera houses and theaters. "Theater des Champs Ely sees" a mauve-pink long eve ning suit, with a pearl em broidered bodice would have made you remember that you ordered tickets for the latest play by Jean Anouilh at this very theater, called “La Foire d'Empoigne" <By Grab), con sidered one of the best plays in town. You wouldn’t have had to wait in a long queue at a Champs Elysees movie theater to see Robert Wise’s film "West Side Story,” which the Parisians do and which they are raving about. They insist that it is by far the best movie of the season. But you would have loved to hear Juliette Greco sing old and new songs at the ABC music hall. She is just pub lishing her memoirs under Ju Rose-printed coat by Christian Dior- New York, 125.0(1 Couturier Salon, Third Floor •Sir ZjJbF' | Uhdß cMB «**»« ■- 4 the title of one of her songs "Je suis comme je suis” “I am as I am.” and very soon she will sing in Lon don at the Savoy and be photographed by Tony—Lord Snowdon. Or to see Zizi Jeanmaire and Roland Petit dance at the Alhambra. And afterward you would have been ready to make “La tournee des grands Dues,” meaning to drop in at sev eral night clubs a la mode, to decide which one is the chicest. ' You may have chosen the new “Caramel” near the Etoile, in a red, hell-like setting, where patrons are elegantly dressed and distin guished looking. At a hop in the Club St. Hilaire, you would have noticed Maria Callas and Onassis among goodlooking and sometimes more disorderly dressed young couples, watching the tw’ist rage between the tables. You could have met la Cal las somewhere else the same night. She loves to go out in Paris, and she still tries to sing here, but the city on the Seine will not hear her this year—she is having dif ficulties in reaching an agree ment with the director of the Paris Opera. It seems that faults lie on both sides. You would have assisted a fashion show by the new boutique “Marie-Chantelle” at the beautiful private house of Mrs. Symroski, wife of the United States Military At- Main Store and Spring Valley hours 9:30 a.m. to 5:45 p.m. 7 Corners open until 9:30 Christian Dior » W* gloves—elegance in every length $ Beautifully interpreted with couturier importance are these gloves.

You would have had a stroll along the Rue Fau bourg St. Honore, maybe to buy a dress for your young daughter in one of the very rare shops for elegant chil dren—the little French girl is supposed to be soberly and inexpensively dressed up to her first couturier attiie for her outcoming. And a skirt with matching suspenders for your teen-ager. You would have bought the latest hit: "Ya Ya—Twist,” and per haps a 25-square-foot city map of Paris printed after an old engraving with every single house faithfully re produced, to cover the wjdl of your library. You would have tried to get a “Zin-zin,” which is a tiny new Mink-thing, in vented by the French fur riers: It can be used as col lar, hat, tie, belt, with a clever system of hooks it can be attached where you want it or need it. And you would have wanted to cancel your flight home for another one!
