New York W This week in
Manhattan:
All that glitters is only part
(old in some of the fall jewelry.
The rest is fur or leather.
One costume jewelry manufac
turer, Coro, introduced a col
lection of bracelets, pendants,
cuff links and earrings in leo
pard. The only touch of metals
was in the simulated gold setting
for the fur. The firm also showed
leather in such shades as winter
navy, plum red, and emerald
green forming the "jewel" cen
ter for gold-rimmed bracelets,
earrings, pins and pendants.
Pendants, or the lavaliers of
our grandmother's day, are fea

from necklaces 20 to 25 inches
long.
The institute reported these
other highlights:
Pins of all sizes, will be worn
mix or patch, on lapels, or for
variety on the pocket flap of a
suit or the sleeve of a coat.
Jewelry colors will blend with
costumes, except when the
clothes are black. Then the rule
is contrasting color. But topaz
jewelry will be on the counters
by the ton, to go with the whole
family of browns in the new
clothes. Other leading shades
will be emerald, ruby and
smoky charcoal tone which one
manufacturer called "black
diamond".
Gold and silver jewelry will
have a textured appearance de

The heat wave this week
caused many an argument be
tween cab driver and woman
passenger. New York drivers
complained the women were
rolling up back windows to keep
their hairdoes intact, even
though this made the cabs down
right unbearable.
My informal poll showed that
despite the drivers' objections,
the women went right on closing
the windows, having the last
word as usual.
New York designers, who two
weeks ago presented their new
styles, felt skirt lengths "as is
for fall. But some designers in
London and Rome this week fea
tured hemlines as much as 17
inches from the floor.
Whether this shorter skirt
will be featured in Paris, we

do go up, there Is one comfort,

Portlander Gets
Waitress Job
On New Liner
By HAL WOOD
United Press Correspondent
Honolulu, T. H. IIP! Beth
Denton, a 35-year-old waitress
with a spirit of adventure, is
helping to pioneer a new career
for her sex.
The blonde Miss Denton, who
comes from Portland, Ore., is
one of 29 waitresses selected
from more than 1,000 applicants
for jobs on the new luxury liner,
the Mariposa first steamer in
'the Pacific Ocean to use female
help.
"I applied because I wanted to
see the class of service on a ship
at sea, I wanted to improve my
position, because I have a spirit
of adventure and I like the
money," says Miss Denton.
All boiled down, however,
most of the girls are on this trip
for two reasons: adventure and
money.
$700 A Month
Waitresses aboard luxury lin
ers possibly are the highest in
come group among women in
United States, outside such pro
fessional groups as doctors and
lawyers.
They receive a base pay of
$359 for working eight hours
per day, seven days a week
while the ship is at sea. It is
reasonable to assume that each
one will make an additional 200
per month from tips. Add this
to free board and room and it
brings the total near the $700
per month mark.
The best part about this, said
Miss Denton, is the fact that
there is practically no place to
spend money aboard a ship.
Some of the girls will be allowed
to get off ship on this cruise for
a short time at such ports of call
as Honolulu, Tahiti and Sydney.
To Save Money
But they will have only a few
hours shore leave each day. So
most of them expect to finish
the six-week trip with the big
gest share of their earnings in
tact. According to Paul Werner,
the Mariposa maitre d'hotel and
j veteran of many trips at sea, the
gins were cnusen irum appli
cants in Phoenix, Las Vegas,
Portland, Seattle and San Fran
cisco. "To meet our standards, they
had to pass physical tests, have
had previous experience in a
Class A hotel or night club,"
said Werner.
All of those who signed up
now have plans to work the job
for at least one full year al
though they can quit at the end
Potpourri
Five young women who attended school together In Medford
recently held a reunion here with their 16 sons and daughters
Together for the first time in many years were Mrs. F. R. Alley
Jr., the former Patricia Thompson who now lives in Arcadia, Calif.:
Mrs. C. H. Ferguson, the former Catherine Conroy who was en
route from rier former home in Washington to a new one in San
Francisco; Mrs. John Parsons, Josephine Bullis before her mar
riage and who lives in Falls Church, Va.; Mrs. Sheridan Cavitt,
the former Mary DeVoe and Mrs. Robert Root, who before her
marriage was Betty Fowler.
Mrs. Cavitt and her husband, a lieutenant-colonel in the USAF
recently returned to the United States after spending two years
in Greece, and will now live in Buena Park, Calif.
The reunion was held-at the home of Seth Bullis, Mrs. Parsons'
father, and Grandpa Bullis got out his camera and took pictures
of the five young women and their 16 offspring.
Potpourri luxuriated in a long day at home Wednesday, the
first day at home alone for several weeks. The housewife-gardener-
editor spent three hours in the garden, about that long over the
family washing, ironed, did a little house-cleaning and at noon
did something which is a rare treat reclined on the patio lounge
for a leisurely tray lunch accompanied by the red-letter Shake
speare, a copy of the Christian Science Monitor, a couple of back
issues of the Saturday Review and miscellaneous other stacked-up
reading material.
Whenever eyes tired of the printed page they wandered to the
blue sky, the cypress tree with its beautiful bluish-green cones, or
the patio flower pots overflowing with blue lobelia and white
petunias.
Potpourri silently thanked heaven that the two of us live
where we can own land enough to grow a green lawn and trees
and flowers. Especially flowers. The lack of flowers in the big
cities in the east was astonishing to the country cousin. One sees
some flowers while touring Washington, D. C, although Ore-
gonians in our party sightseeing in the capital privately agreed
that they couldn't compare with the gardens and flowers at home
but a flower lover in Philadelphia and New York is soon starved.
One afternoon Potpourri took a sightseeing bus from Phila
delphia to Valley Forge. The trip took four hours we went by
one route and returned another and in all that time we never
saw a bed of flowers. Once we saw a few straggly day lilies grow
ing outside a rock wall, and a few potted geraniums were bloom
ing in front of a wayside greenhouse. The bus route took us past
many big, imposing homes with large lawns and much shrubbery,
past schools, colleges and corrective institutions for boys and
girls. None of them boasted a flower bed at least one that could
be seen from the road.
Wonderingly we asked the woman seated next to us, a New
Englander, about the lack of flowers. "It's partly because of water"
she said. 'This part of the country just can't afford to water big
flower beds. How do you keeo flowers in Oregon watered is
there enough natural rainfall?"
Thankfully we replied that in the far western states there is
still water enough, even in the bigger cities, for large parks to
have extensive plantings of flowers and flowering shrubs; that
schools and even some hospitals and churches have flowers planted
for all to see and enjoy. We hooe the water resource commissions
and conservationists are successful in preserving the water supply
of the beautiful west.
Potpourri's mail last week brought a copy of a Ladies' Home
Journal article by Dorothy Thompson, who charges that many
small-town schools are providing "crushingly expensive" buildings
and recreational facilities at the expense of poorly paid and over
burdened teachers. Miss Thompson seems to write mostly about
New England towns and schools, and we cannot contradict her.
But the remorks of a New Jersey kindergarten teacher at a
circle meeting at the NEA convention came to mind. The six
individuals in the circle were talking about the expense of schools
and some thought, as does Miss Thompson, that school buildings
should be utilitarian and built for service as inexpensively as pos
sible. The kindergarten teacher, quiet and retiring, had said little
but she spoke up now, passionately and with conviction. Public
schools should be beautiful, she said, because often they are the
only places where the young children see any real beauty. Many
are from homes and districts where buildings are not beautiful
and where they might never come in contact with paintings, or
furnishings or interior decoration of genuine beauty. Under these
circumstances, this teacher believes that it is the function of the
public school to educate the young child to an appreciation of the
beautiful.
This Oreeonian learned much that was Interesting during the
three hours we spent that afternoon with the five eastern educa
tors. A man from Philadelphia said that the per pupil per year
cost of education in Pennsylvania is almost S500; the two teachers
from New York state agreed that the per pupil cost of schools in
that state is more than $800 a year. When we told them that in
Oregon it is less than S250 per pupil per year, none of them be
lieved the cost could be so low. '
The New York cost is so high because In the New York City
metropolitan area, anyone may attend state and city-supported
colleges without cost, providing he can meet the academic stand
ards, which are exceedingly high.
Senator Mike Mansfield, according to an article In the Chris
tian Science Monitor, thinks "Fear of the Soviet Union has been
magnified into a dogma in the United States." The Monitor article
further quoted the senator as saying that "most or our reactions
toward Moscow and communism are governed by fear. The USSR
is mammoth; communism is a dangerous ideology; the reaction is
.therefore to shun all contacts. Beware or contamination, ovum
opportunities to pierce the Iron Curtain."
Both the senator and the writer of the article, William H.
Stringer, believe this is a bad approach to the problem, that the
people of this nation should learn more facts about Russia and
communism in order that we may know what It is we fear, and
how to combat it. The Monitor writer further sayi we need "a
larger confidence In the indestructibility of America's own 'ideolo
gy' democracy, and its spiritual foundations when in contact with
Soviet and communistic beliefs. Along this line Senator Mansfield
said "It is time to recognize that if there are dangers to freedom
in the ideology of communism, there are even greater dangers to
communism in the doctrine of liberty."
The Monitor concludes "We ought not to be so all-fired scared
of contact with the Communists. We need to understand what our
goals are, why we seek to halt the arms race, why foreign aid is a
necessity, what the facts are. The sorry thing which one must re
port is that the media of public information, including members of
Congress, do not do the job they could in some American areas
toward supplying this wider horizon."
Fifty years ago yesterday W. J. Warner told his bride, Mary,
that they were "a lucky couple" and that life would be good. And
it was, too. And a bit of luck capped all the wonderful golden
wedding anniversary celebration yesterday, for the Warners were
told in the morning that they had won a vacation trip to Seattle
offered by the Groceteria. So when the relatives and friends have
gone home, and the celebration is all over, the Warners will take
off for 'Seattle on their lucky golden wedding present vacation.

Massachusetts Office
New York TO Antiques can
add special flavor to home or
office.
The Massachusetts Department
of Commerce used the state's
native antiques in decorating its
new branch office in Manhattan.
The motif is that of a Massa
chusetts country store from the
1700's. Historic items from all
over the state give a well-organized,
charming effect. The peg
ged wood floor is made from
27-inch "king's lumber" from
the famous frigate "Constitu
tion." A huge, old-style fireplace j
was made from bricks from the j
historic Pratt House in Chelsea.
A deacon's bench, a standup
school master's desk, and a coun
try tavern table are other pieces
in the office. The "store" win- j
dows are the sandwich glass
windows taken from several !
homes of the early New England
pilgrims, and the shelves and
bookcases were built from lum-
ber of the Salem witch jail. '
Fresh Vegetables
To get tne most for money
when buying fresh vegetables,
choose only crisp ones with the
most color. Preparation waste is
high on wilted, half-spoiled vege
tables and most of the vitamin C
is lost.
Raisins
Raisins destined for cakes and
breads will be plump and juicy
if they first are soaked in warm
water and then added to the
batter or dough.
Soup Takes To Summer
New York Jm Tasty menu
for Sunday night supper: Onion
soup, halves of tomatoes or
slices of tomato aspic topped
with chicken or seafood salad,
hot french bread or rolls, and
a favorite light dessert. Use
either homemade, canned or de
hydrated onion soup. Add a few
spoonfuls of sherry for extra
flavor and serve topped with cro
utons and grated parmesan
cheese.
