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.

An easy-to-make Christmas decoration that can provide fun
for the entire family is this colorful "Mr. and Mrs. Snowman." 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.

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.

'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.
As woman's education pro
gresses, her choice of specialized
fields is more restricted than for

young men. The heavy hand ol
tradition has not been entirely
lifted in this respect, though
women are entering more fields
. . . than ever before.
"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.
