nEfT MZBTOBO (OXXOOIT) MAIL TKBtTsTX Potpourri... The weather never seems to cooperate with the Junior Ser vice league when it cornea to the semi-annual style shows. A year or ao ago it an owed on the day of the spring show end Thursday afternoon the ther mometer rose to f 7 degrees while the models paraded in wool suits, sweaters and furs. No one could have .guested the season from what the guests wore, either. Several women, de termined to be comfortable and a fig for fashion, wore cotton sun dresses with strapless or halter tops. Some wore dark cottons or silks, many were in prints, with either dark or light accessories, and some wore dark Silk suits. A few, disregarding the sun's hot rays, wore wool suits and velvet or felt hats. Friday, with the thermometer down several degrees, it was a different story and most guests wore midseason or fall clothes with comfort. Potpourri, who often is an "odd woman" at parties like the luncheon and ahow Thursday, waa added to the table where Mrs. Burton B. Lowry and her guests were seated, and passed a most enjoyable hour over luncheon. In the group were Mrs. Lowry's two daughters-in-lsw, Mrs. David antl Mrs. Phil Low ry: her niece, Mrs. John Stong; Mrs. James A. Grigsby, her sister-in-law; and Mrs. Grlgsby's daughter in law, Mrs. John Grigsby of Palo Alto, Calif .; and Mrs. Lowry's sister, Mrs. Leon ard Foley. The storm last week end was still a good topie of conversa tion, particularly since the Low ry family raises peers and all had lived through some anxious hours while the wind blew and the hail fell. Mrs. Grigsby said she and her husband had hurried in from their home on the river to mop up and see what damage had been done at the music store. "The wind blew so hard along the river," aaid Mrs. G, "that it roughed up the water in the Rogue until it looked as if it were flowing the wrong way." Hearing of the storm damage reminded us that Mary Hanley reported how water had worked its way in to offices in the Med ical Center building and when the staff of the Medford labora tories came to work Tuesday morning, it waa discovered that the bowl-shaped light fixtures were half full of water which had seeped down from the story above. Monday afternoon Potpourri took the annual walk around the country club golf course to watch the finals in the Labor dav tour nament. Last year the crowd which followed young Carole Jo jtaDier and Helen Davies had been large, but this year it was even larger, and only a mere handful of kibitzers followed the finalists in the men's matches. This year Carole Jo'a parents watched the final 18 holes, even though we heard it said that their daughter prefers it if no one from the family is in the gallery. Just before Carole Jo and Helen teed off. the nhntnav rapher asked Carole Jo to re move ner utue wnite cotton hat, which she did. Later a woman'a voice it must have been mother said distinctly, "Carole Jo, you put your hat back on and keep it on!" She did, too. Several women wondered why Carole Jo wore a skirt for the match, since she usually wears shorts or pedal oushera for the summer games, and some tnougnt (he skirt hampered her movements. One woman offered the information that Carol Jn had chosen to play in a skirt be cause on many of the large courses, where lmnn,t,nt matchea are played, feminine golfers are forbidden to wear pedal pushers, or shorts, are re . quired to wear skirt. Looking forward to future games when much would be at stake, Carole Jo is training herself to wear different types of clothing. Mrs. T. J. Fuson. watchin hm match, aaid it reminded her of the time she and her daughter, Anne, had reached the final in cuuerent brackets and Anne had won the tournament at the age of 16. Anne, who is now Mrs. Gordon Harcourt-Heaver of Bev erhr Hills, still nlav iim and follows the tournaments in southern California -.: Mrs. -Fuson aaid that ner daughter, like Carol Jo, had early developed a. wonderful "lone came" but only by prac ticing oa the putting green for an hour or two every day tor years had she developed into tournament winner. Also in the gallery was Mrs. R. K. Mcacke who introduced us to her twin sister, Mrs. Jose phine Benson, a newcomer to the city. So alike do the twins look that we could not resist an exclamation. .Earlier wo had seen Mrs. Al- vin Zelver. the former Pat Far rell, and her bright-eyed small son. who with Mr. Zelver have been visiting here from Calif ornia. Pat looked cool and com fortable in a striped sun dress and her mother looked charm ing in a summery white dress. Later we talked for a time with Mrs. D. . Hayes, who wore a smart aleeveless dress of black with the arm openings outlined with large whit pearl buttons. Mrs. H. insisted that she was spending the summer doing ab solutely nothing but cooking and washing dishes, whst with a husband and two sons working and ready to eat at all hours from 6 a.m. to way into the night O.S. . The recent wedding of Miss Zelma Lee Stone and Gerald Ellis Randies,, Ashland, pictured in this section today, holds spec ial significance. A year ago Miss Stone was a healthy normal young woman planning a career of leaching and eventual marriage to Gerald Randies, a high school sweet heart, then serving with the Army. On October 3, 1932, ahe was stricken with polio which af fected the use of her arms and legs and she soon was taken to Eugene Sacred Heart hospital polio center for. treatment. She remained there until May of this year. Gradually she regained use of her hands and arms and though ahe still is confined to a wheel chair most of the time, she can use crutches and can stand with the aid of a balance. Imagine the pride and sense of accomplishment felt by her family and friends when the bride walked down the aisle fb the altar escorted by her broth er, Edward Stone: Miss Stone handed her crutch es to her sister-in-law, Mrs. Ed ward Stone, when she arrived at the altar and her fiance held his arm about her as they stood for the ceremony. . During the reception too the bride stood to receive the guests aa she leaned casually against a table previously arranged for her. Determined to take her place aa a homemaker, the new Mrs. Randies does all her own house work with the exception of a few chores with which her hus band assists. She mops and sweeps her -floors while sitting in a wheelchair, does her iron ing, cooking and already has prepared fruit for the locker, made jams and jellies. The bride returns periodically now to Eugene for checkups and treatment. F. B. tender. Isstsiast It.
