TEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAl TRIBUNE
Sunday. August 25. 1957
The first little golden colored leaves have fallen from the
weeping birch tree, the first PTA notice since summer vacation
came in last week, wedding decorations are beginning to change
from gladiolus to chrysanthemums and there is only one more
week of the 1957 Oregon Shakespearean festival. All of which
means that summer is almost gone, and before Potpourri can
draw a long breath it will be Thanksgiving and time to think
of Christmas. But the flowers will bloom for another month or
six weeks, and the Rogue valley is blessed with gorgeous autumn
weather.
And it's weddings, weddings, weddings again, with the count
in today's issue running about a dozen.
Margaret Selby, who iecame a rgide last Sunday without
changing her name, wasn't interested in having a wedding dress
which reflected the latest wedding fashions. Instead she chose
a white satin gown very much like the one her mother had
worn. (Margaret would have worn her mother's gown, but she
is a couple of sizes smaller than Mama Jeanne.)
Last July 17 Margaret's fiance, John Philip Selby of Ashland,
asked permission of her parents to be married. Later that evening
the Selbys remembered that 20 years ago, on the same day, Paul
Selby had asked Mrs. Margaret Fabrick for permission to marry
Jeanne. Jeanne and Paul were married in St. Mark's Episcopal
church, and so were Margaret and Philip.
Among the wedding guests last Sunday were all of Jeanrfe's
attendants Mrs. Jack Sailer of Longview, Wash.; Mrs. John
White, Miss Lenore Estes and Mrs. H. S. Ingle, her sister from
Ashland. O
For weeks before the Perl-Ripfl wedding little Robin Zundel
had been told how sl was to walk down the aisle and scatter
petals before the bride. Robin is only thr?e, and her mother,
the bridegroom's sister, carefully rehearsed the tiny girl and
told her all about brides and weddings.
Robin appeared to understand the whole matter and walked
confidentally, if somewhat slowly, down the aisle at Medford's
First Presbyterian church the night of the wedding, dropping
petals as she had been instructed. That is, she did until she
discovered that Dr. William Miller, escorting the bride to the
altar, was about to step on one of the petals. Little Robin stooped
down, snatched the petal from under the doctor's foot and put
it down in frfsjtt of the bride.
. . . . . o
The last letter from the Army wife in New York brought the
good news that an apartment had finally been located in West
Berlin, where the soldier is now stationed, agd'that she had
completed arrangements to fly to Europe.
"Kenny has found an apartment, and I am JHying over
September 3," she wrote. "I havrmy passport, and my shots are
taken care of except for my Schick test. I am going over by Pan
American, and will be in Berlin the afternoon of September 4.
Actually, PAA goes only as far as Frankfort; I have a two-hour
layover and chige pjenes there. My ticket .jwill cost $343.40.
"Joan Kugeli and I are still trying to get up to Stratford.
She is to be married soon to a fellow v the name of Erik Darling,
who sings with the Tarriers. They recorded the hit version of
'Banana Boat Song'. As Joan says, he is a folk singer, and
fortunately, not a starving one. I had dinner with Joan and her
younger sister, Karen, last Sunday after the matinee. (Joan,
former Ashland Shakespearean festival player, is now appearing
in a play in an off-Broadway theater.) We had Italian food at
a place called Monte's on MacDougal street close to the theater,
then walked over to the Washington Square fountain to meet
Erik. The area was crowded with an astounding group of people.
We sat at the edge of the fountain For about an hour, watching the
crowd.
"I have been pluggingCaway at my packing," and hope to get
most of it done this week. I am gathering some dtids and ends
to send to-jou; there isr too much, so don't be alarmed."
We wl not be alarmed over a few "odds and ends." An
upstairs bedroom, a downstairs room and part of the upper hall
are already crowded with daughter's possessions including clothes,
books, a saddle, most of her wedding presents and a quantity
of treasures Including stuffed toys, doll dishes, letters and heaven
knows what else.
. . .
Lge') most embarrassing moment : when we discovered
Wednesdayafternoon liat a luncheon we thought was Thursday,
happened TOdnesday instead. Mrs. Ivan Burton, who invited us
to meet Mrs. MeredithOVilson, wife of the president of the Uni
versity of Oregon, and her friend, Mrs. William Haseltine of
Portland, said the right day but somehow it registered wrong.
The. Wilsons and Haseltines came to southern Oregon to
attendee Shakespearean plays and declared they were having a
wonderful vacation. President and Mrs. Wilson were called
home a day or so early, and Mrs. Wilson, gracious and friendly,
accepted Potpourri's apologies over the telephone.
Mrs. Burton kindly repeated iter invitation with the result
that Potpourri and pappy dined with the JBurtons and Haseltines
before the-two couples wen, off for the festival play, "Pericles"
Friday night. The Haseltines, visiting the festival for the first
time, are confirmed fans and decided the trip south m August
must be an annual one.
Mrs. H., at one time was a feature writer for the women's
section of a Louisville, Ky.f newspaper and also has been North
west representative and a reporter for Glamour magazine. We
listened with appreciation and envy as she told about trying her
hand at creative writing and how a play she wrote won a contest
sponsored r the PorCand Civic theater and was produced. Based
on the life of that colorful woman out of English history, Mary
Wollstonecraft, Mrs. Haseltine called the play "The London
Hussy." A literary gent encouraged her to rewrite and shorten
the play, saying it had many possibilities.
Later the evening turned into "old home week" when we
discovered that as a boy Mr. Haseltine had lived in South Bend,
Wash., on a few miles from PotpSurri's home town of Lebam,
and that he is a relative of the Editor Haseltine of the South
Bend .Journal for whom we wrote our first newspaper copy as a
high school stigent.
Photographer Kenn Knackstedt, busy iaking a picture at an
Altrusa luncheon at the Country club Thursday noon, three or
four times asked "the lady in the black blouse" to move her
position, change the angle of her head, or look up, instead of
down. Kenny K., who had never seen any of the women before
and knew only that they were five females to be photographed,
was at length satisfied and packed up his gear and left. It
was jien that the "lady in the black blouse," who happened to
' be Freda Mowrey Cowling, club editor of the Oregonian, rose
from her chair and remarked, "Now I know how my victims
must feel." O.S.

Schillios Resigns
From Porter Staff
Washington, D.C. The resig
nation of Eolv Harlow Schillios
from the staff of Rep. Charles
O. Porter was announced Fri
day. The Eugenean has served
as the Congressman's adminis
trative aide. '
Schillios, a former Oregon
newsman, plans to vacation fol
lowing the adjournment of Con
gress before accepting a new
position.
Rep. Porter credited his sur
prise victory last fell in part to
Schillios: "I speak with some
feeling on this subject, for my
campaign resources were sparse
and I am the first Democrat to
represent by area in 75 years.
Without the devoted and able
services of Mr. Schillios I doubt
very much that I would have
won."
Schillios' byline was familiar
in Northwest publications. He
had 10 years newspaper experi
ence, authored a book on Ore
gon, won several journalism
awards, and was a freelance
writer-photographer before join
ing the Porter-for-Congress staff
in 1956.
Chemise Dress Said Newest
In Paris Autumn Collections
Paris Emerging from all
of the clothes chatter in Paris
Is the word 'chemise," current-!
ly being used by the fashion
world to describe the season's
newest dresses. They are entire
ly simple in line, with just the
barest suggestion of the figure
beneath . . . mdhy at Balen
ciaga, Givenchy and Dior fall
straight and loose from the
shoulder line, others are fitted
in front and loose in back, still
others have the barest indica
tion of a waistline, often mark
ed by seaming or set-on fabric
belts. Necklines are most often
plain and round, sleeves are
tiny if used at all.
The only other dresses in the
news are those that by-pass the
natural waistline (often with
self fabric belts starting at the
waist and curving downward)
but still shape the body a bit.
Dior showed some dresses with
soft, semi-bloused tops caught
in at the hips above tight skirts.
Fabrics Twofold
The fabric story is twofold
this season. On one hand you
have the vsoft touch" group,
the smooth, sleek pile fabrics,
velours, broadcloths, flannels
and literally multitudes of
crepes (satin back crepes, peb
ble crepes, georgettes, as well
as the Maharani and romaine
types). On the other hand you
have the rustic tweeds, nattes,
serges, imitation hand knits
with surfaces resembling classic
knitting stitches, the "frankly
homespun" look-into weaves.
The elegant simplicity of the
"chemise" has placed greater
emphasis on dress fabrics than
in many seasons. Fabrics are
most often smooth to the touch
and drape with supple fluid
beauty, fabrics which are a
skillfull blend of natural with
man made fibers, combine the
best attibutes of both. Typical
of this group Is a beauteous two
and a half ounce silk and acrilan
textured chiffon developed
by continental fabric designer
Miki Sekers and used by many
fashion maestros. Nattes, basket
weaves, firm handle crepes,
rustic tweeds all combining
Acrilan acrylic fiber vith silk,
wool and mohair are other lux
urious mixtures which' have
been designed by Miki Sekers
for his haute couture fabric
collection. ,
By night fabrics look newest
when featherweight and sheer.
Chiffons have a slightly
crinkled surface for winter,
some resemble a semi-sheer
satin. Never before have there
been so many gauzy fabrics in
the collections every house
has at least two or three ball
gowns of nylon net or tulle.
Matelesses, brocades, chiffon
velvets, gros-grain and ottbman
ribs and the usual magnificent
warp print satins round out the
evening dress fabric picture.

He said he acted as a result of
complaints alleging gasoline is

several prosecuting attorneys in
the state also had asked the as
