EUGENE HEGISTER GUARD, Tuesday, Aug. 21. 1962 Page 7A Cf If '&sr Old-Time Flavor Reminiscent of the Gibson Girl, young-time dresses shine in cotton broadcloth. Big and little sisters wear brown jumpers over polka-dot beige blouses fashioned with great-grandmother's favorite leg-o'-mutton sleeves. These are youthfully styled, tight from wrist to elbow, ballooning out to shoulder-line. 'Dear Abby 'Abigail Van Buren DEAR ABBY: I have been with the FIRE DEPARTMENT less than a year, and the girl I am going with has told me if I want to marry her I had better find something else to do for a living because she refuses to put up with those crazy hours. Should I try to talk her into marrying me anyway, or should I find another job? ROOKIE DEAR ROOKIE: Better find another girl. If she's burning lo marry you, she won't throw cold water on your job. DEAR ABBV: Do you recall your answer to a young girl (or maybe it was to her mother) when you were asked to settle the question of when a girl is "her own boss"? MRS. A. C. DEAR MRS. A.C.: It may not be verbatim, but this is close: "When a girl leaves her parent's home, pays her own room and board, buys her own clothes, pays for her own dental and medi cal care, finances her own education and pays for her own en tertainment, then she has the privilege of choosing her own company, making all her own decisions and being her own boss'." DEAR ABBY: Not too long ago I redecorated my living room. It took a lot of time and effort, but when I got through it looked very nice. Now both my neighbors on either side of me have put up wallpaper and drapes exactly like mine! One even asked me where I bought my lamps, and she went down and bought a pair just like them for herself. My husband said I should be flattered. Tell me, honestly, wouldn't you be an noyed if this happened to you? ANNOYED DEAR ANNOYED: It HAS happened to me, and I was an noyed at first. But after thinking it over, I was flattered. DAR Books Country Fair Oregon Society, Daughters of Ihe American Revolution, will hold its ninth annual Country Fair with turkey dinner and an aflernoon tea Saturday at the Robert Newell House at Cham pocg. Funds from the fair will be used for the society's historic houses restoration project. The turkey dinner will be served from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. standard, 12 noon to 2:30 p.m. daylight, and tea will be from 2 to 7 p.m., standard, 3 to 8 p.m., daylight.

Paint Gives Furniture 'A New Look' Don't give any piece of furni ture the heave-ho at least, not until you've visualized it in color, now the rave of interior decorators. "Many a discard is only a finish away from a place of splendor," declares Mrs. C. R. (Velma) Mitchell, Lane exten sion agent. "Whatever it is chair, desk, tabic, or chest appraise it for beauty of line, quality of wood, and construc tion before disposing of it." And don't be unduly swayed by its gingerbread trim, old- fashioned pulls, dents and scratches, or wobbly legs, she continues. ' These are easily remedied. All repair work, how ever, should be completed be fore refinishing is undertaken. Step-bystep instructions for the transformation of "new furniture from old" are given in the Oregon Extension bul letin, "Refinishing Furniture." Copies are available free by call ing Lane Extension Service, DI 2-1311, Ext. 201. Summer's the ideal time of year to re-do furniture, the agent notes. Then the backyard becomes the perfect workshop. "Nothing can quite duplicate the sun, breeze, and fresh air when you're working with varnish, paint remover, gaso line, benzene or when you sand and scrape off old fin ishes," she said. Need inspiration for redoing furniture? Page through the home magazines or tour the furniture stores. You'll find new room excitement via the paint brush. Chests in yellow-green to accent cocoa-brown carnetings: a breakfast set in Wedgewood blue to dramatize a white wall; an occasional chair in vivid magenta to accent a modern decor. Antiquing adds to the ele gance of many painted pieces. This is the process, Mrs. Mitch ell explains, of adding subtle shading lo the finish by brush ing either a ready-prepared an tique glaze or home-prepared glaze of burnt umber or gold powder, oil and turpentine over the final coat of enamel. o o o Around the Town To Meet Judy and Mike There'll be a gathering of the clan that is, the Hills family when Mrs. C. A. Huntington Jr. entertains between 25 and 30 members of the big pioneer group this evening at the home of the C. A. "Shy" Huntingtons, honoring her niece, Judy Clayton. Judy will be married Saturday, Aug. 25, to Roger Michael Dan, known as "Mike," in Roselight Wedding Chapel. Hallie Hunt ington, Judy's grandmother, will assist her daughter-in-law. Mike's mother, Mrs. C. M. Loveland, and his sister, Mrs. Larry Larsen, are coming from Kosmos, Wash., to attend the party, and Judy's two godmothers, Mrs. Fred Flock of Eugene and Mrs. Ben Dorris of Dclake, also will attend. Another shower was given for Judy last Tuesday by Mrs. Clayton Strom in her home, for about a dozen school friends of the bride-to-be. Decorations were in pink, and pink gladiolus were used. A large box was decorated to represent a hope chest, and gifts were presented in this, Refreshments featured a decor ated cake.
