Amoria ihe mail which came during our vacation was a letter
from Mrs. D. V. Logan of Shady Cove. Mrs. Logan, reading some
time ago in this column about the tmall brown birds which puz
zled our household, said she was watchinc similar birds and was
unable to identify them in Peterson's guide.
Mrs. Logan said tile new birds first started tn move nm rn
of the houses which she keeps in a tree for her feathered friends.
Word-Crafters Con- Knd ,llrn la'er took over the nest of a pair of tree swallows. "He
compic.eiy removed lhat swallow nest, feather by feather and
straw by straw." Mrs. Logan wrote, "working almost frantically,
.lumping in and out and not dropping the straw on the ground, but
spitting it out so it flew in every direction.
"There was no stopping him this time, even when a whole
colony of tree swallows surrounded him and he is just about half
their size. When this job was finished he started filling the nest
with twigs and he and his mate are now nesting there. There
seems to be no difference in the male and female as far as I can
see and your description fits them exactly. I disliked them very
much for moving our swallows out: even throwing two eggs out
of the nest; but I must give them credit for sticking to an idea
when they once get it. I call him "Percy'' for perscrverance.
Every morning the swallow couple and some of their friends come
back and sit on the perch and scold, but it bothers the little brown
bird not at all."

man with a friendly look on his face who had helpfully put our

had lived in 1he Okanogan valley at one time. The young man said
tht he now lived in San Francisco in order to study classical ballet
with the Rusian teacher Paniaff. whose troupe danced in Medford
a few seasons ago.

The scales say we didn't gain any weight while on our vacation,
which doesn't seem right, considering all the good food we ate.
For instance, one night for dinner during vacation we ate six blue
berry pancakes with two big pieces of ham. We already had been
on a picnic and to the Altrusa club's annual supper at Offut lake
that week, and as everyone knows. Americans eat too much at pic

! The institute said that for

' The institute, citing statistics

In Austria, nearly half of the

j New York 'U.R'' If your'e an
extreme in size, avoid the ex
treme in fashion.
"Aim for the happy medium,"
said Mrs. Adcle Simpson, a New
York designer who herself is an
extreme. She has to stretch to
measure four feet, nine inches.
For those sensitive about their
height either the lack or excess
of it. Mrs. Simpson offers this
comfort:
"I've always noticed people
who are short or tall have dis
tinct personalities. If you play
down your clothes, the person
ality has a chance to shine
through."
Mrs. Simpson, who is presi
dent of the company which bears
her name, offers several rules
of dress for the non-average
figure.
No Floral Designs
"Accent softness," she said.
"Always modify any harsh sil
houette. Short or tall, wear sim
ple clothes.
"Avoid patterns. This goes for
vertical stripes on the short wom
an, horizontal ones on the tall.
Don't go in for floral designs."
Don't wear clothes that in Mrs.
I Simpson's words "cut you at the
I mid-section." She said if you're
determined to wear a contrasting
skirt and blouse, select a skirt
with wide cummerbund belt or
sa.sh at the waist so the color
division is two-thirds, one-third,
not half and half.
Mrs. Simpson said extremes in
height are less obvious if the
color scheme is monotone all
beige, for example.
"Put a tall girl in black or
navy, top the works with a
white hat and you only add to
the height, because the hat auto
matically draws the eye up
wards," she explained.
Watch Shoes
She's opposed also 1o either
extreme wearing fancy footw'ear:
"The short woman is tempted
to add height by wearing plat
form soles. All they do is make
her look club-footed. She should
wear shoes that match or blend
with her costume, no matter how
small and shapely her feet are."
The designer is a good exam
ple of the rules she preaches for
the short and tall. The day we
talked with her, she wore a beige
color scheme, head to toe, and
her shoes were a classic, un
trimmed pump in dark beige.
Mrs. Simpson, incidentally,
wears a size three and one-half
shoe.
