o o o c 0 TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Muu-Muu Catches On Over Here By GAY PAULEY United Press Women's Editor New York W Well, men, you thought the chemise rob b.d us females of curves. Wait'll you see us In muu-muu! It's even baggier, but that doesn't slow its progress Into our wardrobes. I happily report that so far, unlike the chemise or sack, the muu-muu isn't for street wear. Only for our leisure hours. But give this comfortable garb time. By way of explanation, the muu-muu is a native of Hawaii is ankle or floor length, cut full and completely unfitted except at the yoke. Theories on Muu - Muu There are various theories on how the muu-muu migrated from natiy garb in the islands to at- home fashion on the mainland. Gloria Buchnerfashion coord inator for Alfred Shaheen, a Honolulu manufacturer, said this firm has been featuring muu- muus for six years at least. But it suddenly caught on after a promotion by a California store. Shaeen's muu-muus all are made In Hawaii and shipped to domestic stores. There are muu- muus- for the patio, the pool, the dormitory, and for formal at- home occasions. And Shaheen features a "mamma muu-muu for those expecting." Mrs. Shirley Konheim, boss of a New York firm which special izes in sub-teen wear, found her self in the muu-muu business because ofcdaughter Barbara, a coed at Western College, Oxford, Ohio. Barbara was one of 18 coeds who last summer mtde a college sponsored tour of the Tar East En route home, the group stop ped off in Honolulu, where Bar bara bought a couple of muu- muus. "She got off the plane at Cldlewild in one of the things," her nwther said, "and I was mortified. My daughter travel ing in something like that! (Comf oriabl nd Versatile i3ut after I watched the dress in motion around home, I realiz :1 hcn wonderfully comfortable (find versatile it is." Wasn't long until Mrs. Kon $iti "t making the garments (jPor (Barbara's friends at Western, (Bndthtn for coeds across the rjation. She has given her gar ments the trade name, "moo moo." Shaheen features more than 100 prints int he island-made muu-muus. Mrs. Konheim, who uses U.S.-made fabrics, has in troduced bold plaids, zodiac prints and ivy league stripes. She doubts if the muu-mu ever will show much variation, as have the sack silhouettes. 4 Try Shrimp-kebab Chicago (IP) For something new in seafood, tryQa shrimp shishkebab.

It is ideal for display on doors, mantles and walls. The low-cost project requires only two 12 x 24 inch sheets of plastic foam and a glitter kit. Both the plastic foam and glitter supplies can be pur chased at hardware, variety and five-and-dime stores'. First, cut out the figures with a knife. Then lightly draw or trace the costume designs for the snowman couple with a pencil. Decide on the costume colors in advance, remembering that the colors will be limited by the kit or glitter assortment you pur chase. Squeeze a thin line of glue along the pencil lines for any one desired color. Sprinkle that particular color of glitter over the glue. Then shake off excess for future use. Allow approximately 15 minutes for the glue to dry. Follow the same procedure for each color glitter used. Candles, as shown in the picture, can be attached to each figure. A star, wreath or a "Merry Christmas" banner made with glue and glitter can be substituted. A polyvinyl resin glue gives good results. Audience Enjoys Program Given by Concert Pianist By Richard D. Werner In spite of the fog, a goodly number of Jackson County Civic Music association members ap peared at Medford High school auditorium last night for the sec ond concert of the series to hear Robert Mueller perform as pianist. With the wealth of music available for piano, it is indeed a problem for an artist to choose a program that will please every one, including himself. It is, of course, impossible to do so, and a certain amount of compromis ing takes place. The audience last night appar ently liked the compositions chosen by Mr. Mueller, and his renditions. Of the varied styles the music demanded, your re viewer liked those of the ancient school. In the works of Bach and Scarlatti the former living be tween 1685-1750 and the latter 1685-1757 a distinct difference of approach to music was evi dent. Bach wove his themes and thought in terms of the organ and Scarlatti was amply satis fied with the limited ability of the instrument to sustain tone. Bach was introspective and wor ried about God Scarlatti lifted Vice-President Speaker's Topic Mrs. N. T. Hodges and Mrs. O. H. Brenneman presented the program for the last Wednesday Study club meeting. Mrs. Hodges reviewed "Silver Platter," by Ellin Berlin, a story of the life of Mrs. John Mackay. In 1868 John Mackay told his wife, Louise, that some day he would be "master and manager of the richest mines on earth," and added, she would have "everything on a silver platter." In 1873 after 21 years of mining, John Mackay found his mountain of silver, the heart of the Com stock Lode in Virginia City, Nev. Many prominent San Francisco people are mentioned in this early history of the West. Mrs. Brenneman gave a bio graphical sketch of Vice-President Richard M. Nixon, and read excerpts from the book, "This is Nixon," by Jomes Keogh. Born in Whittier, Calif., of Irish-Eng lish parents of Quaker faith, Richard Nixon became the youngest vice-president in the history of the United States. It is conceded by almost every known observer in the nation's capitol that he has done more to elevate the relative insignificant office of the vice-president to one of much importance than any of his 35 predecessors, Mrs. Brenneman said. "Richard M. Nixon is poten tially the most important figure on the American scene today," the speaker concluded. ANNE NFYLAND apptarme in "JAIIHOUSE ROCK" An Avon Production UGM Beease i Cinemascope LIGHT end DARK Bakare Services. Inc. Chicago rP-mi i ti wx 1 Tuesday. December 10. 1957 his face to the shining benevo lence of God. These facts Mr. Mueller brought out in full, to our way of listening. The sonata of Robert Schu mann 1810 -1856 demonstrat ed the ability of Mueller to change styles. Here was involved music by a tortured soul, very complex and technically diffi cult. Bringing out the underlying "melos" of the music demon strated a facility of pedaling not too often encountered today with the younger pianists. Mueller can play piano (soft) and forte (loud) and can maintain a legato passage as long as necessary. One had the feeling at times that he should have taken up a bowed instrument and easily visualized him as an outstanding cellist. We then, came to some pieces by Debussy not his best or really good music, but a bow in the direction of the impression istic school. Following this came a piece by one of the noise makers Khatchaturian, who never did have much to say. Relief followed with Godow sky's version of Schubert's "Wie genlied." The sliding chromaticts and pianistic embellishments were clever, but Schubert's ver sion is still the best the clearest. In the Strauss melodies from the "Fledermaus," a Grunfeld transcription "every pianistic de vice was employed to accomplish the final, stunning effect." The audience liked it! A raphsody by Liszt would have been just as satisfying, besides being better music, intrinsically and pianisti cally, to our way of thinking.

BEAUTIFUL AMU PR1ATE GIFT MODELS ON ' DISPLAY NOW ai- 'Womanpower' In U.S. Says Sociologist Austin, Tex. (IP) A Univer sity of Texas sociologist believes the United States is not develop ing its "womanpower" to its full capacity. Dr. Robert L. Sutherland, di rector of the University's Hogg Foundation for Mental Health, said there is a need for more re search and educational planning that take into account up-to-date vital statistics on birth, mar riage and old age. Sutherland pointed out today's American woman is through with bringing up children earlier than ever before and has time on her hands for more years than any other woman in the modern world. The saciologist said that in half the cases a married woman will have her youngest child in the first grade when the mother is only 32 years of age. "By age 32, middle life for half our married women begins. Their definite objectives of marrying and having a family nave been realized. A woman entering middle life in her thirties 'knows that the chances are she will live at least 40 more years. What will she do with these years?" Sutherland asked. Marriage Interferes At the same time, the trend toward younger marriages and earlier families means women have less opportunity to acquire education or skill-training in their 20's, Sutherland said. "We need to know more about the relationships between the re sponsibilities women are assum ing at various ages and about their readiness for them," the sociologist stated. "Equal education along with boys comes during the early years," he said. "For girls more than boys this is interrupted by marriage and early child-rearing.

"In the next stage when young children are in the home, women are there, too. A third of them are tempted or required by cir cumstances to seek employment after the children go to school. After the children have left home, a still higher percentage is available for employment or for volunteer civic work or for new patterns of family living or (or continued education," Sutherland said.
