TWO 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."

for the at-home fashions boom.
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.

First Session
Is Held By
School Club
A large attendance of mothers,
fathers and teachers marked the
first meeting for this year of
St. Mary's Grade School Parents'
club, held Monday night in the
activities room of the school.
President Jack Kerr welcomed
all present, especially the new
Members.
Parent-attendance prize f o r
this meeting was won by Sister
Eustella's first grade room, with
Sister David Maureen's third
and fourth grade room running
a close second. One point is
counted for each mother and two
points for each father who comes
to the meetings.
Business included announcing
of names of committee chairmen
and room mothers, outlining pro
posed projects for the year, and
Carl Brophy's reading of the
club's constitution. 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."
Sister Superior Gerard Mary
pointed out that good parent at
tendance at meetings is a defin
ite morale builder for the teach
ers. A social hour, during which re
freshments were served, fol
lowed the business meeting.

ents' club officers for the cur
rent school year, besides Presi
dent Kerr, are vice-president,

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.

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.
