"Eugene's Windou) Dccoroticng Specialists" 2585 Willamette Dial 5-1571 A linen shower should consist mainly of sturdy towels, sheets and pillow cases, prettily initialed. After a good selection of these, if there is more money available, such things as cocktail napkins, place mats and napkins, guest towels, luncheon sets, bath mats and bridge sets can be included. Blankets, spreads, fancy linens and other more expensive items probably will be supplied by the immediate family. Some brides-to-be prefer a per sonal shower. This is particularly important to the girl who has not had time to save for such pret ties as nightgowns, negligees, slip pers, perfume, slips and hosiery, all acceptable and desirable gifts. When planning a shower of sil ver or glassware, the bride-to-be should be consulted about pat terns. If she has a yen for sterling silver, do not substitute silver plate. It would be better to give her one piece of sterling in the pattern of her choice than a whole place setting or more in plate. Ten girls, pooling their money for a present, usually can manage one place setting, possibly two settings, of sterling. THE SAME RULE applies to glassware. If she has selected an expensive pattern, give her the pieces you can afford. Perhaps the group will just be able to manage the water goblets, or a combina tion of those and a set of wine glasses. In any case, she will an preciate whatever you can give her of her own pattern, rather than one you select. Lamps, vases, pictures, pieces of furniutre, ashtrays (unless sil ver or glass) and anything of an odd color or elaborate design are a matter of personal taste so don't confuse the bride by giving her something like an expensive gift . of a lamp in an odd color that she will need to build a color scheme around unless it is re quested or you are certain enough of her likes. This is a good way to plan a shower: If it is a bathroom show er, for example, they price acces sories from bath mats to scented soap (towels usually are Included In the bathroom shower), deter mine how much must be spent, including the cost of decorations and refreshments. Then each girl is told the approximate. Bridal Shower Fetes Miss Miller PLEASANT HILL Miss Doris Miller, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Miller, was honored at a mis cellaneous bridal shower at the home of Mrs. L. D. Garmire Fri day evening.

At an autograph party Friday afternoon from 3 to 5 p.m. at Cressey's Book Store, Miss Beckman will sign copies of her latest book, "The Rowleys of Robin Road," (Whittlesscy House) an adventure story for juvenile readers Young Author's 2nd Book Published As She Begins 3rd . figures in the plot of "Rowleys of Robin Hood" whose theme was taken from the many copper mines in that area of Washington. About to begin her third book, Miss Beckman thinks that it will have a newspaper background. It will be written for an older age group than her first two books. Publishers have suggested a "jun ior novel" for young adults. Miss Beckman approximates this to be the late teens. The brunet writer Is a native Oregonian who graduated from the University of Washington School of Journalism. She has spent most of her life In Eugene, where she now makes her home with her mother, Mrs. K. M. Beck man, at 1875 Monroe St. All of Miss Beckman's books have a Northwest background which she explains simply: "This is the only place I know because it's the only' place I have ever been. However, she is not complain' ing when she says this. Her love of the evergreen states inspired her books, her enthusiasm for the country is apparent, as she often lapses off into talk about dense woods, rushing streams and the beautiful far away views. Miss Beckman will be present at Cressey's Book Store Friday, from 3 to 5 p.m. to autograph copies oi her books. By HELEN LONG ' Reilster-Guftrd Staff Writer What does it take to be a suc cessful author while still in your early twenties? Best person to ask would be Miss Joan Beckman, young Eu genean whose first book (and first attempt) was published a year and a half ago. Her second book, written at the request of publishers of the first one, appear ed this spring. Now She is starting a third, which is also by request. So we asked this young, attrac tive author and concluded that it takes inspiration (that's the easy part) and long hours of hard work. -The inspiration lor Miss Beckman s first book came from the Snohomish (Wash), County Fair, which she covered as part of her job with the Monroe "Mon itor," the local newspaper. From this developed the horse story which became "Skylark Farm," a juvenile book for ages 9 to 13. It took her two years to write it, outside of working hours Her second book .was inspired by the fireplace of her home in Monroe, and only took H4 years to write. The unusual fireplace Bride Welcomed Back MEADOVIEW A bridal show er for Mrs. Jack Jacoby will be given at Mrs. Ray Hofer's home Thursday afternoon by Meadow- view Ladies Club.
