"Make Headdresses for Ball
Mrs. Robert A. Johnson, was chosen queen of Junior Service
league's annual Christmas charity ball, held last night at Rogue
Valley Country club. Mrs. Johnson won the honor because the
headdress which she wore was named the most outstanding in
a contest planned to highlight the evening's festivities.
,t t,,v,, ,ii v,0h. Mrs. Sam Gilbert and Mrs. M.
a clever, little green
tree, adorned with
dress was
ChristrrQs
small Christmas ornaments. Her
gown, a Ceil Chapman original,
was of white satin accented with
turquoise blue embroidery and
was of sheath design with dra
jJeryO't the skirt back. Mr. and
Mrs. Johnson, newcomers to
the city, came to Medford last
summer from Portland.
Honorable mention in the con-
test went to Mrs, Ivan Harring
ton, Mrs. Robert Elliott and Mrs.
Raymond Reter. Mrs. Harring
ton's headdress was of silver
leaves and Christmas tree orna
ments with a ruffle of pink net
and was topped with one of the
silvered spires used as tree orna
ments, and a blue angel. Mrs.
Harrington had sprayed her hair
with silver and her pink gown
of satin and net completed the
Dink and silver color theme.
Mrs. Robert Elliott, whose
gown was of white and off-white
shades, wore a white headdress
of crushed net trimmed with
tiny Christmas ornaments and
miniature trees. Mrs. Raymond
Reter, who said she concocted
her headdress "for laughs," wore
a frame arrangement of lace and
Christmas tree balls on which
an ornamental bird was hung.
Her gown was black. The bird
swung gaily back and forth with
the movements of her head.
Junior Service league mem
bers did not enter the competi
Oti on, but many wore outstanding
headdress creations. Mrs. Ed
ward H. Collins' headdress
spouted miniature soap bubbles,
"Si. Walter Graff wore an elab
orate arrangement in Siamese
r-) effect and Mrs. Robert Taylor,
- . wnose bouffant gown was of red,
wore on her head a tiny frame
which resembled a round bird
cage-end in which swung a bird.
Mta. David Holmes' headdress
was a tiny branch from s pear
tree with a "partridge" on one
q twig and Mrs. B. Brandt Bar
tels, one of ffie chairmen for the
ball, had wound her head with
pink tinsel in turban effect.
Among the guests whose head
O druses turned out to be conver
sance pieces for the eveing were
D. McGeary. The latter's head
dress was a tiny house complete
with chimney and a miniature
Santa Claus with toy pack.
Smoke, from burning incense,
curled from the tiny chimney.
Mrs. Gilbert used strings of
Christmas tree beads for a head
dress which came over the up
per part of her face in eye glass
fashion.
The evening's gaiety began
with a cocktail hour, followed by
selection of the winning head
dresses. Mrs. Frank Hopewell
served as mistress of ceremonies
for the contest announcements.
Dinner, dancing and music fol
lowed. Allan Lehl sang during
the evening, and the evening
concluded with group singing in
the lower, lounge.
During the party a number of
prizes were awarded.
Mrs. Jack Lewis and Mrs. Bar
tels w -e co-chairmen in charge
of the hall, given to raise funds
for the league's kindergarten for
hard-of-hearing children.
Mrs. E. F. Korb, Los Gatos,
Calif., was among the guests at
the ball. Mrs. Korb arrived from
California Friday by plane and
is a guest of Mr. and Mrs. Carl
Wimberly Jr., 30 South Barne
burg road. She will return south
today.

Dates of Meetings
Changed by Circles
Of Christian Church
Women of First Christian
church have changed the dates
of their fircle meetings, it was
announced last week.
Mrs. F. A. Daugherty, 2251
Kings highway," will be hostess
at 12 noon, Thursday, December
22 to members of Circle 2. A
coyered dish luncheon will be
served and a gift exchange con
ducted. Members of Circle 3 will meet
with Mrs. Chester Peterson.
2584 Bullock road, at 1 p.m.,
December 22 for dessert and a
gift exchange.
A dessert luncheon will be
served December 22 at 1 p.m.,
at Fellowship hall for those who
belong to Circle 5.
A covered dish luncheon will
be served at 12 noon Tuesday,

James Hopkins, 113 Ross lane.
A gift exchange also is planned.
First seal two quarters of
paraphin' together by dipping
the flat surface in a shallow pan
of melted paraffin and pressing
one on top of the other. Repeat
this process with the remaining
two blocks to a pound package.
Score one section down the
middle lengthwise with an or
dinary beverage can opener to
provide space for a piece of
candle wicking, which should
be dipped in the melted paraffin
and laid in the groove, leaving
approximately one inch and a
half at top of candle.
Next dip the flat surface of
one of the sections in melted
paraffin and press together; then
quickly turn entire candle in the
melted wax, including the pro
truding end of the wick.
For decorating, or "frosting'
the candles, melt one-half pound
of paraffin and beat with electric
or hand beater to the consistency
of whipping cream, patting the
foamy paraffin on the candle
with a spatula or table knife
keeping the candle square.
It is suggested that the frost
ing be built up approximately
one-half inch above the top of
the candle on all four sides. This
forms a retainer for the wax as
the candle burns. Do not smooth
the frosting as it will lose a
great deal of its effectiveness.
The next step is to shake
particles of sparkle onto the
candle to complete the decora
tions.
The foamy "frosting" also can
be used for other decorative
purposes including tipping of
pine cones, Christmas tree
boughs and other items.
