POTPOURRI:..
Potpourri learned several new
luncheon.
things about flowers last week.
While attending the annual
Homemakers' festival Wednes
day we learned front Mrs. How
ard Ash that it does not destroy
the tiny .native lavenor orchid
plants when the blossoms are
picked. Having heard, and read,
for many years that such was
true, we were shocked to see
dozens and dozens made into
corsages for women at the fesi
tival, and expressed surprise.
Mrs. Ash picked tne orchids
from a bed in the Elk creek dis
trict, and reported that she has
picked them from the same spot
since she was a child. Mrs. Ash
cautioned, however, that ex
treme care must be used since
the little bulbs pull from the
ground easily, which does mean
that no orchid will grow the
coming year. Others near-by con
tributed the information that
some of the stem and leaves
must be left also, to feed the
bulb, as is the case with domestic
bulb flowers.
We accepted gratefully one of
the little orchid corsages, and
put the flowers in a tiny pitcher
at home in the hope that they
would last for a time. We also
were most pleased to be given
one of the bouquets used to deco
rate the hall. Several of these
were made up of the huge laven
der or purple parrot tulips from
the garden of Miss Claire Hanley
combined with stalks of daphne
Somerset. This variety of daphne
was new to us, also.
Thursday we learned from
Mrs. Merton Lyster the name of
the most interesting shrub with
white blossoms which Mrs. L,
D. Inskeep and Mrs. Martin
Sands had used in decorating the
tables for the luncheon of Med
ford Council of Church Women.
(Mrs. Lyster, kind soul that she
is, had forgiven us for mixing
her up with one of her close
friends when we identified the
women in a picture recently.)
Mrs. Lyster said tne shrub was
double file viburnum tomento-
sum (we guessed at the spelling)
a variety of what is commonly
called snowball, and that the
blossoms grow as they were
shown in the flower arrange
ment, and had not been stripped,
as someone had said at the
A call to Mrs. Inskeep confirm
ed this information, and she add
ed that it is not a new shruo, as
so many thought, but actually
quite an old type. Mrs. Inskeep
remarked that often shrubs or
flowers blooming in the yard
are ignored by everyone until
picked and combined with some
thing to give them drama and
interest. She said most flower ar
rangers strive for this dramatic
effect in either color or line, or
both.
This was true of two arrange
ments we saw later in the week.
At the Zonta club dinner Thurs
day night the centerpiece of the
speaker's table was of white
stock, yellow daisies and laven
der lilacs, with tall, very slender
yellow candles jmong the flow-
ers. . -mKB
Friday afternoon at the tea
which Methodist women gnve
for Mrs. Clarence Meeker, a dis
tinctive flower arrangement hau
been worked out by Mrs. Everett
Faber. Mrs. Faber used one of
the metal fountain containers on
large round mirror. Around
the tiny fountain she arranged
lavender columbine and other
smaller blossoms and the con
tainer was encircled with deep
green candles embedded in clust
ers of pink cherry blossoms.

Mr. Greenleaf s voice was con
sidered remarkable, and many
living in Medford now remem
ber his appearances in Medford
and Ashland schools.
Item from the past: Browsing
through a May 11, 1922 copy of
The Mail Tribune, the following
news release turned up from
Santa Rosa, Calif. "A controver
sy over the question of whether
Mrs. Thornberry Close, princi
pal of the Rinconville school
here, should be compelled to re
sign because she powders her
nose and wears skirts eight
inches from the floor has result
ed in the resignation of two of
the three members of the school
board of trustees."
"Youth is broad-minded," said
Miss Truida Duyvendak of The
Hague, Netherlands, speaking at
the Homemakers," festival Wed
nesday. "The youth of the world
will broaden our horizons if we
give them a chance." That youth
is not bound by tradition was
demonstrated at Medford Senior
High school last night when a
girl who is married and the
mother of an infant daughter
was crowned queen of the an
nual Junior-Senior prom. The
student is Mrs. Charles Chit-
wood, the former Barbara Van
Sickle, a beautiful and popular
brunette. O. S.

The Zonta dinner was a pleas
ant event, with the naming of
Mrs. G. Q. D'Albini as "Woman
of the Year" the highlight of the
evening. One of our table com
panions was Miss Eula Winter-
mote, who regaled us with a
story told' following a recem
banquet for dairymen held in
a local hotel.
The tables were loaded with
good dairy food, milK, t... ..,
yoghurt and what have you. b"
horrors of horrors, the pat of
"spread" were the wrong snapu.
One of the dairymen made a
pointed inquiry of a waitress,
and soon the "spread" was re
placed with another kind, with
pats of the correct shape.

On the program for the recent
fellowship luncheon of Medford
Council of Church Wonpen were
a numoer ox cmiaren, wnu, wun
their mothers, demonstrated
some of the family worship ideas
used in Medford homes. One of
the youngsters was small Larry
Dierdorff, who with his brother,
Todd, and his mother, Mrs. G.
A. Dierdorff, demonstrated the
story-telling and prayer hour
which precedes bed-time at the
Dierdorffs.
In explaining the idea to the
two little boys, Mrs. Dierdorff
suggested that they wear their
pajamas, since it was a bed-time
scene. Larry, who is six, con
sidered this for some time' and
then asked, "will the ladies wear
pajamas too?" When informed
that they wouldn't, he forthwith
refused to wear his, evidently
having strong ideas on pi-oprvety.
Worse yet, when the scene was
being enacted ana ft came time
for Todd, 4, to say his prayer,
he balked. Later he explained
that prayers were always follow
ed by going to bed, and he wasn't
going to bed In the middle of
the afternoon.
Picture-taking turned out to
be more than ordinarily interest
ing last week. The weekly stint
of shutter-snapping included a
trip over to Ashland and a visit
at Susanne Homes hall. The com
fortable lounge at the hall,
which commands a fine view of
the hills to the east, was filled
with students enjoying a half
hour of loafing following the
noon meal.
After the Mothers' week-end
committees had been taken, the
reporter-photographer team mov
ed on to the home of President
and Mrs. Elmo Stevenson. At
Mrs. Stevenson's suggestion, she
and her older daughter, Rose
mary, were posed in the garden.
While not extensive, the sarden
is of more than ordinary interest
because it 1 located on two or
three levels, the Stevenson home
being on one of the steep hills
on which most Ashland resi
dents must build their homes.
One of the beautiful eights in
the garden was a pink clematis.
espauerea against one of the
white walls of the house. The
blossom were not as large as
we remembered the more famil
iar purple clematis to be, but
were an exquisite sight against
me white wall.
The trip over and back wa
enlivened by Mrs. J. R. Smith,
president of Southern Oreaon
College Mothers' club, who went
along in order to be photograph
ed with her daughter, Sidney.
