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.

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.

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. Chamber
lain, second vice-president; Mrs.
Robert Monsey, secretary; Mrs.
Leonard Kunzman, treasurer.
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.
The annual summer roundup
will be held May 14 and 16. 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.
Musical selections were given
by Edythe Viar, flutist, and Jeff
Anhorn, baritone, accompanied
by Mrs. C. W. 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.

'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." Love That Dress

I'm
a gem!"
Jim can't get over how I manage
to keep the house looking like a
million and still have time for the
many things I like to do. My
secret is simply finding faster,
easier ways to do my housework.
Take my wood floors. I used to
spend a full day scrubbing and
waxing. Then plop into bed all
worn out. Now I use Bruce
Cleaning Wax and it's almost a
snap, Bruce cleans and waxes in
one easy operation. Takes me only
half the time and effort. And my
wood floors never looked better.
Have you tried Bruce Cleaning
Wax? You'll like it. So will
your husband!
Incidentally, Fve found other Bruct
floor products help me, too. There's
Bruce Floor Cleaner for cleaning and
lighter taxing, Bruce Paste Wax,
Bruce Asphalt Tile Cleaner, Bruce
Asphalt Tile Self-Polishing Wax and
