Potpourri Ever since last Sunday we've been wondering what bemused city employee numbered the houses on Oakwood drive. Hunting for the J. C. Miller home last Sunday, we rounded the corner off Windsor avenue and noted that the first house was numbered 2235 it belongs to the W. B. Cleggs. We dimly remembered that the Millers lived close by, but decided we must be wrong for their number Is 411. So we drove on, but had to turn around and come back, for sure enough, 2235 is next door to 411. Mrs. Miller admitted that the whole situation is pretty con fusing, and said she understood that the fire department men memorize the Oakwocd homes and house numbers, just to be on the safe side. The Miller home was decorated with Christmas greenery and candles, but the buds on the camellia bushes which stand at either side of the front door are already showing faint streaks of pink. Planted in tubs, they are protected by the doorway and Mrs. M. says she coaxes them along with a generous dose of coffee grounds. At home mother occasionally watered the house plants with cold tea, but never before had we heard about putting coffee on camellias. We also chatted with Mrs. David Holmes, and heard about the exciting gift she found under the Christmas tree (well, not exactly). Blonde and beautiful Mrs. Holmes is now driving a sleek little pale blue Thunderbird, a present fom her husband. Practically nothing outshines a Christmas tree during the holidays, but guests at the D. J. Bolton home last Sunday evening were most excited over the gorgeous wine-colored orchids which were in the living room. Some of the guests inspected the green house where Mr. Bolton grows the exotic plants and flowers, and when the late-staying friends had dwindled to a few, Mr. B. pre sented the women with blossoms. Mr. B. proudly displayed a blooming plant, the first blossoms he has had from plants which he himself raised. He also has seeds sprouting on agar in glass tubes, and little plants in various stages of growth. Doreen Bohnert wanted her sister, Marilyn, now Mrs. James Rice, to be her honor attendant when she was married to Donald Bradshaw. So the wedding was set for the hristmas holidays, the only time that Lieutenant Rice could be away from his Marine corps duties. With just a few days to make the trip, and a slim budget, the young couple drove the 3,000 miles from Triangle, Va., and back in their little Volkswagen. Somehow they contrived a bed in the tiny car and took turns sleeping and driving. Among the Bradshaw-Bohnert wedding finery or decorations there should have been a few 4H club emblems. For both the bride and bridegroom, the matron-of-honor and best man are all 10-year 4H members, several others important to the wedding are 4H club members and the bride's parents and bridegroom's father re leaders. The best man, Robin McKinley of Gervais, Ore., introduced Doreen and Donald seven years ago when they were both 4H competitors at a state fair. Because of this and his friendship for both, the young man felt privileged to present the bride the blue garter which she wore on her wedding day. For "something old" the bride wore her own little plastic slippers which she fancied resembled Cinderella's glass slippers of fairy tale fame. The Harry Prentices are just back from Mexico, and Mrs. H. is bubbling over about the wonderful trip they had. The Prentices "did everything-' they attended the opera and theater and con certs in Mexico City, they visited the resorts, rode on buses and were guests in a private home. Mrs. Prentice observed that every bus has religious statues and that the drivers (there are always two to a bus) stopped the vehicle at numerous wayside shrines and hopped out to say quick prayers. She reports that little Mexican girls are wearing their hair in pony tails, and cotton dresses with billowing skirts over many petticoats, just like their American sisters across the border. The travelers were amused at the endless kissing in public, and decided that it was a misnomer to say "bull fight." "Why call it a fight," asked Mrs. Prentics. "The bull isn't given a clnce." "Knickers are coming back and this time the women as well as the men will wear them," wrote Gay Pauley of the United Press in her column. Well, its plain to see that Miss Pauley is younger than Potpourri. For in our co-ed days at Washington State college, both men and women wore knickers. For the co-eds, knickers were worn like pedal pushers and Bermunda shorts are now. Men wore baggy plus-fours with knee-length ribbed hose and matching pull-over sweaters. Pappy looked real handsome in his. The knickers, however, were skimpier and definitely didn't do a thing for a girl's figure. During the just past holiday season Potpourri called a number of couples and asked permission to take pictures at parties, as we have for several years past. Some demurred and others downright refused. Two or three said "but what if our friends think that we called the paper and asked to have the pictures taken?" To which we answered, truthfully, that fuch a thing just doesn't happen here very often. Almost all the pictures of parties and the society section front page pictures are taken because a staff member invites the subject to pose. Routi ie pictures of brides and brides-to-be are brought in, of course, and organizations make requests for picture coverage. Staff members decide the number of pictures used and the poses. Sometimes a hostess giving a party as a farewell, or "welcome home" event caI1s the paper, and we might point out that more of this news would be in the paper if more readers cooperated. It has been suggested that picture coverage be explained for the benefit of interested persons, and we hope this proves helpful. We might add a thought from an article Emily Post once wrote about the relations of an Individual with the press. Mrs. Post said, in effect, that if an individual wishes his, or her, business activities, charities, clubs and lodges publicized by a newspaper, then that individual should be willing to cooperate by giving per mission to print personal news.
