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.

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.

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.
Karin Zollikofer of Rio de Janeiro, graduate student at Uni
versity of Oregon the past year, is teaching Portuguese to Peace
Corps candidates this summer at University of Oklahoma in Nor
man. She expects to return to
her country in mid-September
to take a university faculty posi
tion in journalism.
Kann studied at Oregon the
past year on a Pan-American
fellowship from the Oregon
Federation of Women's Club,
made possible by donations
from the 3,800 members in 97
clubs throughout the state. In
the 16 years since establishment
of the fund, 16 South American
women have studied in Oregon
colleges and six Oregon women
in South America colleges.
Jeports on the summer plans
of another OFWC fellowship
student have reached Mrs. F. G.
Havemann of Eugene, member
of Eugene .Fortnightly Club, an
OFWC affiliate.
Letters with a variety of post
marks have been received by
Mrs. Havemann from Sara Rossi
of Cordoban, Argentina, who
used her OFWC grant in 1958
59 and remained here at U of
O to continue her studies in the
school of architecture.
Sara traveled by bus to Mi
ami, Fla., where she met her
parents who had flown up from
Argentina. The three rented a
car and are touring eastern
United States, stopping at art
galleries and other points of
interest. Sara reports a busy
time translating for her par
ents, who speak no English. The
three will return to Argentina
the middle of this month.

Xsrj Even the best
rr"iVf behaved baby
SSt feels the need to
rebel from time to time. And why
not? A baby is a human being,
entitled to a few human quirks.
(Besides, this show of spirit means
he's growing up.) So when your
baby occasionally refuses to go
along with his regular mealtime
or naptime schedule, try to relax
and let him relax before vou feed
or bed him down. If you don't
force the issue, it will be easier ts
get baby back on schedule the next
time around. ,
