Newspaper Page TextTWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Fancy Trousers Fashionable 'At By GAY PAULEY United Press Women' Editor New York (W Today's woman wears the pants at home, even if hubby bosses the house hold. This fall, the top fashions for hearthside are fancy trousers and skirts, or the two in com bination and many of them so elaborate you'd think the wear er was headed for a ball. "It's about time glamour at home caught on," said young Tom Brigance, an old hand at creating leisure wear not meant for bending over a hot cook stove. "Jeani Not Feminine" "I've always opposed that jeans-at-home business," said Brigance. "Jeans aren't feminine they're too workmanlike." Brigance advocates an at home wardrobe, and if you're not constructed for those skinny trousers there are plenty of skirts some street length, some sweeping the floor. One of the most striking costumes in his collection is black taffeta com bined with yellow satin. The taffeta is used for a coat, and on the lines of a man's shirt, but with eyelet cutout around the hem, to help display the yellow trousers. Brigance is just one of num erous designers lending opulence to the hearthside. Leo Ritter, a furrier, made mink jackets to top lounging pajamas. Robert Rosenfeld used fake fur, a leopard printed velveteen, for one piece, tapered trousers topped with a flowering skirt in either green or flame red satin. Another Rosenfeld number is a combination of tight trousers and voluminous over-skirt the former in red satin, the latter in black chiffon. Designer Tina Leser used gold lame for a figure-hugging, one piece pajama topped with a flowing "harem coat" of mauve organza. Sydney "Wragge, who won the 1957 American Fashion Critics award, featured brocade, silk linen, printed silk and tweed in combination with silk. The tweed, in black and white, forms a pullover, with fringed hem, topping silk slacks in brilliant pink. N Home Wear Not New At home wear is hardly news." said Brigance. "But you would think some stores had Just rediscovered it." Designers list several reasons ( INVEST I'l YOUR FUTURE The cost is low- Returns are high!

A record number of women hold outside jobs, and want a change to comfort with pretti ness at the end of the work day. We entertain more at home, hence the need for more dress ing up at fireside. There is more money to spend on opulence. "And," said Tina Leser, "the move to the suburbs and coun try has helped. A housewife may be outside all day , . . When she comes in, she doesn't want to get into a dinner dress like she used to. She wants to climb into something that doesn't call for a girdle." Bebbs Attend Wedding, Opera Mr. and Mrs. Royal E. Bebb have returned to their home on South Grape street after spend ing 10 days in San Francisco to attend the wedding of their son, Ward, who was married to Miss Jo Ann Boardman September 29 at Grace Episcopal cathedral in that city. They stayed on to attend a production of "Der Rosenka valier" by Richard Straus with the Viennese soprano, Elizabeth Schwarzkopf, in the leading role for the San Francisco opera production. The couple also at tended the most elaborate fes tivity of the opera season, the annual Opera Ball and Fol de Rol, this year termed "Opera Goes on a Bal Masque." The event, held in the Civic audi torium, was hailed as the first sellout crowd in the history of the event, sponsored each year by the Opera guild as a fund raising event to help expand the opera repertoire in San Fran cisco. Mrs. Bebb reports that a throng of 6,000 filled the bal conies and 1400 persons were seated on the main floor at gaily decorated tables. The press re ported that florists estimated about 50.000 fresh flowers had been used, and champagne was served to the elegantly dressed socialite-sponsors seated at these tables. The San Francisco Symphony orchestra, the opera chorus and ballet gave their time and talent, as did all the artists who ap peared on the program. The list of artists who performed on the huge stage in the center of the auditorium read like "Who's Who in the Music World" Mrs. Bebb reports. Included were Blanche Thebom, Licia Alban ese, Borghi. the Italian baritone and the Viennese coloratura, Rita Slreich, who recently made their debut in this country, Ry- sanek, Cesare Curzi, the Negro soprano, Leontyne Price and Claramae Turner, who has ap peared in Medford twice for Civic Music association. Mrs. Bebb reports that Miss Turner, wearing a long sheath gown of black sequins with red shoes and red roses in her hair, received a thunder of applause when she sang. Kurt Herbert Adler was direc tor and James Schwabacher Jr. master of ceremonies. Finale of this extravaganza was the "Bal Masque Waltz" written especially for' this year's Fol de Rol by Marcel Frank, one of the San Francisco Opera con ductors. As the ballet danced this closing number, 5,000 bal loons were released from huge baskets on the ceiling and fell about the performers. After this, Ray Hackett's band played for dancing.

Acceptance was given Mrs. Dick Randolph's proposal that the grade and high school parents' clubs share the expense of purchasing a refrig erator in which to store the pu pils' lunch-time milk. Library committee and treas urer's reports were given and it was announced that a Novem ber spaghetti dinner is in the planning stage. Future plans for First Fridays are being made to include an 11:15 a.m. Mass for the children in order to ease breakfast and fasting problems. Because of the number of per sons active in both the grade and high school parents organiza tions, it was suggested that the finance committees of the two groups work jointly and that combined effort be put into a few large projects for the year rather than working individually on many small projects. Before adjournment Father Carl Mai, new pastor of Sacred Heart parish, expressed his pleas ure with the large turnout of par ents. He encouraged all to enter fearlessly into the group dis cussion and said he hoped that an active interest in the parents clubs and in the school will be maintained for the sake of the spiritual, mental and physical education of 'your children and your children's children."

Glittering Array of Gowns Readied for Queen's Visit By HELEN THOMAS United Press Correspondent Washington IP) Mrs. Eisen hower has put a top secret tag on the gowns she will wear while entertaining the Queen of England. But some of Washing ton's other official wives are letting the public have a pre view of their fashions for royal ty. Mrs. Richard Nixon, wife of the vice president, has three new ball gowns and one special street-length black taffeta dress for the Queen's visit next week. Red-haired Mrs. Nixon will be decked out in an ivory satin gown with a bateau neckline and a bouffant skirt for the first glittering event the state din ner at the White House. For dinner at the British em bassy, the nation's second top ranking wife will wear a lemon yellow satin gown which bells out in a petal effect. She's also holding in reserve another dinner dress of French blue lace, designed especially for her. Most of the Cabinet wives have chosen billowy full skirts which Queen Elzabeth herself favors for evening. Mrs. John Foster Dulles has selected two full-skirted satin gowns. One is ice-blue satin and the other is gray satin. Color's the Thing The official White House ladies all appear to be going in for color. Long white gloves also will be a must. But they have no intentions of keeping their wardrobes pure Americana. Mrs. Herbert Brownell is hav ing two gowns fashioned from the chartreuse and pale blue satin she bought in Rome this summer. The attorney general's wife will be renewing an ac quaintance with the Queen, whom she met at a garden party when the American Bar Associa tion held its meeting in London. The treasury secretary's wife, Mrs. Robert Anderson, expects to don a high fashion white chantilly lace gown trimmed in gold for the White House dinner. Mrs. Ezra Taft Benson, wife of the agriculture secretary, says her 20-year-old daughter Beverly is helping to put a, few tucks in her new dusty rose lace over a taffeta slip which she Aquarium Society To Be Organized Aquarium enthusiasts are in vited to attend a meeting to night at the Girls Community club at 8 p.m. The meeting is being held for the purpose of organizing a local aquarium so ciety. Both adults and interest ed teen-agers are welcome to attend. It is pointed out that since those who raise tropical fish have mutual problems and in terests, a society of these persons could prove extremely useful. - Never let colored garments stand in a heap after washing.

The dress, which she'll wear as guest of the Eisenhower's, also has a long flowing chiffon panel. Mrs. B enson Shopping Mrs. Benson says she's still shopping for something special to wear to the functions for Britain's royalty. Most .of the Cabinet wives ap parently wouldn't think of wear ing the same dress twice at re ceptions for the Queen. Nor for that matter will the Queen. The wife of the nation's proto col officer he has full charge of arrangements for the royal visit is a glamour girl on any oc casion. She's Mrs. Wiley T. Buchanan, who made a special trip to Rome this summer to have fittings on four new eve ning gowns and several new day time frocks. Mrs. Buchanan became sold on the Italian designers when her husband was the American minister to Luxem bourg. All of her new gowns will have a back fullness for graceful movement. Smooth in front, they whip back into an old-fashioned bustle effect which the blonde Mrs. Buchanan Can wear with a sweeping air. Washington women say that all eyes will be on the Queen. But they'll be dressed to the teeth just in case. uinijipf 838 WEST Mc ANDREWS ROAD Store Hours: 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. SPECIALS Thursday 3 p.m. to Saturday 7 p.m. AA LARGE DDCC7C 79l C&H CANE FARM FRESH DHCCtC, Giant '"v (J!
