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.

KEEP SHELVES TIDY
When modernizing a kitchen,
it's wise to continue the floor
tile right through the bottoms of
all base cabinets. Any left over
tiles can be used to cover cab
inet shelves where pots and pans
are to be stored. This provides
surfaces easy to dust and wipe.
