NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG. OREGON. THURSDAY, JULY 29, 1948 Smithsonian Institution Has Housing Shortage WASHINGTON The housing shortage has hit the Smithson ian Institution. They're looking for a place where Mrs. Jonathan Edwards can show off her wed ding dress. Mrs. Edwards was the former Sarah Pierrepont and ' wife of the American theologian who was one of Princeton Lint- . versity'i early presidents. . It's mighty crowded in the period costume hall. All the White House hostesses from Mar tha Washington up through Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt -are stand ing around in air-conditioned glass cases exhibiting their in augural gowns and such. And scores of other historic ladies are displaying historic gowns of past periods in glass cases along the walls. The ladies will either have to move over or one of them will have to take a tem porary vacation so Mrs. Edwards can have her day. The Smithson ian received the dress In May and still has no niche in which a figure can be stood to dis play it. Which of the ladies will be called upon to give will be kept a deep secret by museum of II cials. They don't exactly relish the avalanche of protests they expect will be heaped on their heads by descendants and mends of the displaced woman. Mrs. Edwards' wedding dress dates back to 1727. Though it is one of the oldest dresses received by the Smithsonian for exhibition it is in unusually fine condition. The gown was presented to the Smithsonian by Mrs. H. C. Mil ler of Youngstown, O., a direct descendant of the Edwards. It is fashioned of soft Jade green satin brocaded in dainty flowers of salmon pink, bur gundy, dark blue and beige color ing. It has a full skirt, low-cut bodice and three-quarter sleeves. There are five or six dresses of the same general type on "dis play In the period costume hall. From 1610 until after the Revo lution women's styles showed lit tle variation. Women were buried In the same dress they were mar ried in, and if they weren't buried in it, they usually willed it to a daughter or some other fe male relative. Mrs. Edwards' wedding gown was later worn by her daughter, Mary Edwards Dwight, in the Revolutionary era. Sarah Pierre pont, a daughter of one of the founders of Yale University, was only 17 when she married Jona than Edwards. The history books tell you she was a girl who "combined piety with a bright, cheerful disposition" and that she - "proved a devoted wife, an effi cient housekeeper and the faith ful mother of 12 children." ... v. vj -; " lli"Vq' '' ' ) C 1 - i High Schools Ask New Cars to Carry On Driver Course Twentv-one Oregon high schools where dual-control driver train ing cars were used during the 1947-48 school year have applied for new cars to continue their oroerams through 1948-49. ac cording to the Oregon State Mot or Association.
