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.

MISS JOAN BF.CKMAN, young Eugene author,
Is now starting her third book. 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.

' 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
