But today, more women than ever before are choosing the companionship of costume jew elry. .Even Mrs. Dwight D. Eisen hower frequently wears the fake . . . she wore specially -designed j costume jewelry for both the 1953 and 1957 inaugural bails. The costume jewelry industry naturally loves Mrs. Eisenhower for this boost, but is making no guesses on how much it will in crease sales. "Naturally this im presses women," said Louis F. Krussman, vice-president of Tri- fari, the firm which made her inaugural glitter. "... she alert ed the fashion world to the im portance and versatility of cos tume jewelry." One manufacturer figures the housewife also should be alerted. Within a few months, his firm will introduce a line of costume jewelry in supermarket chains. Growing Demand Actually, costume jewelry sales have been increasing stead ily since World War II, said Ar thur Winslow of the American National Jewelers' association, representing 5,000 jewelers. "The costume, or filled and novelty, jewelry has become the bread and butter of the indus try," he said. The Jewelry Industry council, representing manufacturers in both the real and costume fields, said the latter makes up 13 and one-half per cent of all sales, in cluding every type of "jewelry" from diamond necklaces to sil ver flatware. It estimated annual costume jewelry sales now at $231 million. In 1948 it was $196 million. It isn't that woman's desire for diamonds and other precious jewelry is decreasing. Those who can afford to, own the real. But Winslow said that even these women supplement the genuine with the costume stuff . . . they build a jewelry wardrobe. "Necklaces and earrings for daytime . . . another set for eve ning," he explained. "Or jewel ry selected for a specific outfit." Another Accessory "Women think of costume jewelry as an accessory, like a purse or a pair of gloves," said one manufacturer. "Take the hottest item on the counters this spring, those colored crystal beads. Women hardly buy them as heirlooms." - Yet, some costume jewelry is in a price range to make it of heirloom caliber. A spinel neck lace from Du Jay, Inc., may cost as much as $500. "The set which we used to call the carriage trade still has the same tastes," said Jacques Leff, president of DuJay, which makes the synthetic, diamond-like stones into necklaces, bracelets, pins and earrings. "But in these days of high taxes, who can af ford the real thing? "Opening nights around Man hattan, I can spot as many spinels as diamonds." In the where-are-they-now de partment . . .

B'A ESAiN KEUTKAL SF1E1IS. Mrs. Lester Adams spoke on the functions and operations of the Oregon legislature for a meeting yesterday of Jackson County Republican Women. Mrs. Adams, a vice president of the organization, has spent con siderable time as an observer during legislative sessions. Mrs. Adams reviewed the structure of the two Houses, re minding her listeners that the House of Representatives has 60 members, and the Senate 30. The former are elected for two years and serve but one session unless re-elected; senators are el ected for four years and serve two sessions, with 15 named at each election so that there are always 15 "senior senators." The speaker reviewed briefly how each House is organized, and how the president of the Senate and the speaker of the Lower House are elected. These officers then announce commit tee members, already selected. The various clerks, extremely important to the operation of both sections of the legislature are elected as soon as the two Houses are organized, she stat ed. " She stressed that the presid ing officers of the two Houses must rule on all parliamentary matters, and that these some times become "incredibly con fusing." Mrs. Adams outlined the var ious committees of the two divi- sions of the legislature, saying there are 19 standing commit tees in the House, and 20 in the Senate. Special committees may be appointed; standing commit tees may have interim sessions, special committees may not, Each committee has a confer ence room, and a clerk assign ed to it to keep the committee s records. Scheduling of these committee sessions is complicat ed, she said, since each legisla tor serves on a number of com mittees. Rules Important Many believe that the rules and resolutions committee is the most important of all, Mrs. Ad ams said, since this committee makes the rules governing pro cedures and in addition has the privilege of setting the deadline for the indiscriminate introduc tions of bills. This session the House has set the 25th day, and the Senate the 35th day as dead lines, she said; after that all bills must be screened by the rules committee and only those considered important are per mitted introduction The ways and means and the tax committee are also ranked high in importance, the speak er said, and the two must work closely together. Other commit tees are agriculture, alcoholic control, commerce and utilities, education, elections, financial in stitutions, fish and game, foods and dairying, forestry and min ing, highways, judiciary, labor and management, local govern ment, military affairs, public health and welfare, state and federal affairs. Mrs. Adams listed the various types of legislative measures which are: Bills, joint resolu tions, concurrent resolutions joint memorials, resolutions and memorials. Bills may create a new law, amend an existing law or repeal an existing law. The joint resolution is used to pro pose a constitutional amendment, to create interim committees, give directions to a state agency or officer and express legislative approval. Concurrent resolutions are used only for matters affecting the operations and procedures of the legislative assembly; the joint memorial is ordinarily used to make a request upon or ane xpression of opinion to the Congress or the president. Resolutions are used by each house to take action affecting its own concerns, and memorials are used-separately by each tfcdy. ' The speaker explained the drafting of bills, their introduc tion, how the dates of becom ing effective are determined and .traced the course of an imagin ary bill through the legislature. After the introduction of a bill and the first and second read ings, it then goes to the proper committee for consideration. Most bills are reported out of committee promptly, she said, with a "do pass" or the reverse, and then they are passed by the house of origin, then go to the other for consideration. Mrs. Adams explained how many bills dies in committee, and how bills may be forced out of committee by a two-thirds vote of the House or Senate. She also explained hearings held on bills, how bills may be amend ed and how the course of a bill's passage may be delayed for long periods by hearings, confer ences, proposed amendments, etc. Mrs. Adams closed her talk by explaining the procedures of signing or vetoing of bills by the governor, how they may be passed over a veto, and how they may be referred. Mrs. Billie Blackstone, a vice president, presided and an nounced that Republican Wom en are setting up a library for the use of members. Mrs. Thom as H. Ness will serve as librar ian. Mrs. G. Q. D'Albini announced that the annual Lincoln banquet will be held Wednesday, Febru ary 20, at 7 p.m., in the Pioneer room of the Jackson hotel.
