1 TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Glitter Set To Attend April Ball - New York (U.P.) Members of international society who arent going to the wedding in Monaco will have a ball anyway right here in little old New York. The fifth annual "April in Paris Ball" at the Waldorf Astoris hotel Friday night has attracted 1,000 members of the global glitter set who either wern't invited or didn't choose to attend the wedding of Prince Rainier III and Grace Kelly. For entertainment, luxury and names, it outdazzles any single function planned in Monaco. Hardier socialites are burning up the airways to make an ap pearance at both functions. Hotel-man Conrad Hilton, per sonal representative of Pres ident Eisenhower at the Rainier- Grace nuptials, will be among those flying back to New York right after the cathedral cer emony Thursday to attend the $100-a-ticket ball. Mr. Hilton will find more royalty and nobility at the April in Paris shindig than is sched uled to show in Monaco. One of the models for the collection of ball gowns contributed by top Parisian coutouriers is Archdu chess Marie-Illeana of Hapsburg, an imperial highness whose title tops Rainier's by two notches even though she works in an office for a living. Mrs. William Paley, best dres sed woman in - the world, and four others who made the 1955 fashion honors list, will be on hand contending for the spot light. They'll have plenty of com petition from one of Europe's great beauties, the Vicomtesse de La Rosiere, who will wear a SI million collection of diamonds on her black velvet evening hat. " The ball, which is sponsored by Cartier, Air France and Coty perfumes, will raise $100,000 for Franco-American charities. The French Duke of Brissac has ar ranged the donation of $50,000 worth of guest favors and door and raffle prizes by French in dustry. Each woman guest will get a year's supply of expensive perfume.

New York (U.R) Machine made clothes make modern wardrobes the most extensive in history, yet historians of the future may have trouble as sembling relics of our favorite mid-century costumes. We are not as sentimental about assembly line fashions as our female ancestors were about their handmade Sunday best. They used to put away gradua tion dresses, Tplus the fans, hair ribbons, shoes and petticoats that went with them. We buy graduation dresses that double for summer dances. Central Point PTA Elects Officers; Girls Plan Tea h Central Point Officers wert elected at the last meeting of Central Point Parent-Teacher as sociation. Named to office were Mrs. -Stanley Parrish, president; Mrs. Leo Ghelardi, first vice- president; Mrs. C. E.

It was announced that girls of the eighth grade will enter tain their mothers May 8 at a tea and style show under the direction of Mrs. Lorna Meyer. She will be assisted by members of the PTA.

Par ents of children entering the first grade next fall were urged to see that their children take advantage of this effort of a free physcial examination. C. A. Meyer, principal, report ed that the open house held in March was an outstanding suc cess, with more than 1,000 par ents attending. It was recom mended that money made through the sale of food that night be used to help buy cur tains for the stage in the li brary. The Rev. Norman K. Tully of First Presbyterian church. Cent ral Point, spoke on "Youth." He stated that the idealistic qual ities ', of youth should be en couraged, that idealism is above price and often is the difference between success and failure, or life and death. He urged that the home and school unite to de velop manhood and to help pro duce a better humanity. Mrs. O. T. Wilson, safety chair man, reported on numerous ac cidents in the vicinity of Cent ral Point and urged that cau tion be exercised, both at home and on the highways.

Anhorn Mrs. Chester Ashton, presi dent, conducted the meeting and refreshments were served by mothers of children in the third grade. Since canned cling peach halves are such a popular salad ingredient we're always on the lookout for new ways with the leftover syrup. Like this one. Try mixing it cup for cup with chilled ginger ale, adding a couple of tablespoons lemon juice. Makes a refreshing pick up. There are an estimated 250,000 highway bridges in the' United States. A . -.or ; j Showing &h Wednesday. April 18, 1956 'Wage Clothing A 73-year-old former depart ment store executive whose hob by is collecting stockings, for instance, says he got many of his most important museum stockings from wedding day keepsakes of the last century. In those days a girl might splurge on a pair of white silk stockings with a lace panel inset in front for her wedding day and never set foot in the stock ings again. "Stockings just aren't con sidered as, choice today," Ira J. Haskell, the stocking historian, explained. A man with Haskell's hobby 100 years from now would have to rely on hosiery company official files and first lady in auguration outfits. Completed Book Mr. Haskell accumulated more than 400 pairs of stockings in 20 years of collecting, the larg est private stocking collection on record. He presented the stockings to the Commerical Museum in Philadelphia 10 years ago, and has just completed a book, "Hosiery Thru the Years," to set down a record of his re search. A last-minute run seems a simple thing when a nylon-clad woman of today looks at the stockings women used to ' wear. Mr. Haskell, who lives in Lynn, Mass., goes all the way back to the childhood days of Queen Elizabeth I to relate the gradual emergence of shapley stockings. Starts Trend The girlish Queen wore" yel low silk stockings with shape less legs and a flaring wide hem above the knee, Haskell reports. Somebody gave her a pair of black silk knit stockings after she became Queen, and Eliza beth vowed "Henceforth I will wear no more cloth stockings!" By the middle of the last cen tury, fashionable women were urged in Godey's magazine to "bathe feet at least three times a week" and indulge in silk stockings only if they did not plan to do much walking. Lamb's wool was best for long walks, the magazine reported. The urge to attract even more attention to legs reappears con stantly, from the striped, spot ted and bright red stockings of the Gay 90's to fis.i embroidery designs in 1918 and the rhine stone and beaded clock designs of today. Haskell hopes more of the fabulous designs on our wispy nylons will be preserved for the future. "Nobody," he sighed in a telephone conversation, "ever thinks of preserving the pres ent."
