She also works with preschool age children and discussion groups for adults and inquiry classes for non-Catholics in the educational vein. The habii worn by this order is unlike others for Sisters of her denomination, and consists of a grey-blue street length costume with which she wears a scapular and a small grey hat with veil.

This year's show, which drew capacity aud iences for three performances at Rogue Valley Country club Thursday and Friday afternoons and Friday evening, was themed to "Manhattan Silhouette." To provide a new and dif ferent background for the pa rade of fashions, the league ask ed Allan Hunt, Medford. artist, to design a setting which re sembled a section of a Manhat tan residential street. It was complete with doors and win dows and a little green marquee supported by pretend wrought iron posts. Two models came and went through the doors, just as New York women would do as they went about their daily lives. At the entrance to the club a small sign hanging on a lamp post read "Forty-Second Street" and inside the entrance hall gay little make-believe awnings hung over the doors and bright-colored pots held spring flowers. Col ored branches covered with but terflies and big beach unbrellas decorated the small lounge. The luncheon tables in the main dining room held match ing smaller branches sprayed wih paint and on these hung miniature spring bonnets. The program covers and the laree shadow frames at either side of the orchest.-- stand in the dining room carried repro ductions of the New Yorker magazine's traditional February cover of Eustace Tilley. These had been done by Allan Hunt. The club entertainers, Abby Green and Glen Parker, provide ed show music. Mrs. C. B. Collins was com mentator for the show and wove into her script the titles of New York song hits, theatres, streets, cafes and night spots. The show opened with a "ery-early morn ing scene, with the milkman (in the person of Mrs. Sam Richard-' son) delivery bottles as a couple in evening clothes returned home. Dresumably from a night of revels. First model out wasf Mrs. David ioimes, wearing waltz-length evening gown and furs, with Mrs. Oscar Halboth playing the part of her escort. The models which followed wore spring and summer street, home and play clothes, and league members were accompa nied by children of members modeling clothing for the sand box set. Children in the show were Melissa Deuel. Terry Ras mussen, Sara Wood, Stephen Hibbs, Molly McGill, Scott Lewis, Charlotte Walin, Greg Graff, Janny Richardson, Danny Vorheiss. , Fashion-wise, the spectators noted that colorful stripes are "good" this season, that suits often have short, fitted jackets and that play clothes come in stripes or new colors, such . as melon pink. Of particular inter est were a hand-loomed skirt trimmed with crystal sequins and a black blouse worn by Mrs. Richard Reum. Of note also was a grey Mandarian sheath dress and a pint-sized cape called a "pellerine." To open the second half of the show Mrs. Collins had writ ten a take-off of the popular TV show which features the team of "Susie McNamara and Mr. Sands" playing Susie her self and with Mrs. Ed Collins as the actress off to play a big role in Hollywood. Frocks of polished cotton, linen, shantung, faile and knits were shown during the second half of the show. Mrs. James Shaw modeled one of the new empire dresses with matched coat and Mrs. C. H. Buffington modeled a silk sheath dress of turquoise blue which featured unusual trim very low on the back of the dress. Much comment followed 'Mrs. Holmes' modeling of a brown linen sheath dress worn with a bit of straw around her blonde chignon which served as a hat, the "hat" being trimmed with Sunday, March 11, 1956 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE an artificial pear.
