Pcitpcifflirirfl Every newspaper reporter has a store of choice boners either found in copy submitted to the paper or those which got into print the kind that cause groans, sighs, some swearing and a lot of laughter. The last issue of Editor and Publisher carried a few sent in by Greta L. Paige of the Women's Department of the Elmira (N.Y.) Star-Gazette, and which she had culled from copy arriving at her desk. The list starts off with this gem "The flower girl wore a light orchard gown with Peter Pan collar." Another was "The bride's only jewelry was a string of perils, gift of the bride groom" and still a third was "Her gown was fashioned with a Sabrina nickline." Potpourri and PH howled over "A Pablum was attached to the back of the skirt" and "The bride's waltz-length dress of Chan tilly lace had a shoulder to shoulder neckline." Right now. Potpourri can't think of any quite matching the New York collection, but we have been sent copy which had brides dressed in "slippery" satin gowns, or frocks with "lace yolks" and going away suits of "tweedy nub." Not all the mis takes are on the copy. We wince at the remembrance of the time not long ago, when a Tribune story said "the church was deco rated with white satin slippers" and long, long ago there was the horrible time when a line read "the couple exchanged cows in front of a flower-decked altar." More than one society editor has been confronted with a wedding story which read "the bride groom is the sin of Mr. and Mrs. So and So" and twice in our life-time of reading and writing weddings have we read stories which gave all the details of the wedding but failed to mention anywhere the names of the bride and bridegroom. Society writers put a lot of interesting detail into wedding stories, but the traditional material isn't always the most inter esting. The story today about Sharon Whitlock's wedding to Wil liam Barlow doesn't say that the bride's brother, Richard, never did get to the wedding. After the wedding date had long been set, Richard found that he had to be in Portland that day to take an examination which will decide whether or not he can enter dental school. He made plane reservations, but the flight was delayed two hours and he arrived in Medford long after the ceremony and reception were over. The attendants raced with time also. They came after classes closed at OSC and the university and arrived only in time to hastily dress and line up with the couple. As a matter of fact, Potpourri didn't actually attend the wed ding only the reception. Preparing to get into our "little black dress" we found a section of hem ripped out. By the time we had it mended with numerous interruptions, it was just too late. Arriving at the church we stood among the guests and after a few moments, glanced down and wondered what was clinging to the hem of the dress. Investigation proved it was a needle and long thread, still attached to the dress. After the last interruption, we never had finished the hem repair. There wasn't anything wrong with Barbara Barlow's ensem ble, however, Barbara, the bridegroom's sister, looked simply devastating in a slim black dress with a big white ruffle and a swoopish neckline in the back which ended in a demure bow. Miss B. said she was just discovering how interesting black and white combinations cart be. As for Sylvia McCabe's wedding dress, words fail to describe it. Of lace made by hand years ago in France, it is utterly ex quisite and was just right to enhance the bride's exotic beauty. Sylvia's older sister, Eleanor, now Mrs. John Cooney, and three cousins have also been married wearing the beautiful gown and now it will be processed to preserve the lace and stored for an other generation of brides. Bridegroom Bernard had to take a lot of good-natured quip ping over his recent attack of pneumonia which almost cancelled the wedding and he solemnly assured Potpourri that since the bet ting had been 5 to 8 that he'd never be able to walk down the aisle, he had "covered" enough to almost pay for the honeymoon. The bride's mother had also been very proud of her two small granddaughters who had been "very junior" bridesmaids for their aunt. Through some mishap, the two little girls were not handed their bouquets but they were too polite to make a fuss, and didn't even mention the oversight until they had arrived at the foot of the aisle when one whispered to Grandmother, "when do we get our bouquets?" Not every bride has a judge as a bridesmaid, either. Noreen Kelly, the b.g.'s sister, is Medford municipal court judge and "Her Honor" looked perfectly stunning in her red chiffon brides maid's frock. One Medford florist was fretting a week or so ago about a wedding incident. Less than half an hour before a wedding was supposed to begin, the frantic mother called the florist and beg ged her to come and decorate the church altar. Seems mother thought both the reception and church decorating were part of the duties of the church circle which was taking charge of the re ception. Hastily the florist arranged some flowers in baskets and 15 minutes later was making her way through the crowd of guests who were being requested to remain outside. As she went through, she saw raised evebrows and heard remarks about in efficient florists. Vincent Swinney's bride didn't get to leave the church under an arch of crossed sabers, but she did walk under an arch. It was of snowshoes. Sergeant Swinney and his bride were married in First Christian church, Reno, and since the sergeant and his friends are in a survival training group of the United States Air Force, the men took their snowshoes to the church and formed an arch with them under which the bridal pair walked when leaving the church. Potpourri and Pal Peg are making big plans for the annual reporter's school Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. at Girls Community club. Every year the society gals keep a sharp watch for the best copy, and four or five women get verbal orchids during the class. This year three of the four are church reporters, and the fourth wrote last year for a PTA unit. O.S.
