EIGHT- MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE IP n it p c mi ir n n . "When the Kellys and the Keatings get together that's -SS'Naid RC5nff Keating l3St SaturLygKfer he and . Miss Noreen Kelly were formally pronounced King and Queen of the first Tudor guild Mardi Gras ball. Both the king and queen are judges Mr. K. is officially County Judge Rodney Keating and Miss Kelly is Medford municipal -judge. Judge Keating is a staunch Republican Miss Kelly M an equally staunch Democrat. Z2Zi The two made an imposing picture King Rodnev wear .Ing formal clothes and a long black robe and Queen "Noreen . wearing a bright red frock over which Actor Richard Gra : -ham draped a long robe. Both had crowns, and large sceptres I which looked heavy enough to be used for weapons, if need ; be. : ; After the coronation there were cries of "speech, speech" ! from the merrymakers wereupon Seth Bullis remarked that : the queen often made speeches such as $10 or 10 days." "- ' : Those who passed up the ball missed a gala evening. The ' guild gals gave the party to raise money for Shakespearean festival scholarships for actors, and will probably go ahead ; with their idea of making the ball an annual event, even ; though attendance at the first one was disappointingly small. ' The weather didn't help matters any, for the rain poured down&all day Saturday and into the evening. Arriving at the Country club, the society editor wished she owned one of the tiny foreign cars. Earlier in the week we attended the Junior Service league party with Mrs. Murray Gardiner who was driving her husband's little Volkswagen. Marina just buzzed right on by the long lines of big cars parked half way to - Medford and drove Sapphire into a space between two trees ;a little distance beyond the entrance. : While reading reviews which critics have written in re cent years about Pilar Lorengar, Spanish soprano who sang in Medford Friday night. Potpourri was reminded of a tele phone call we once received. It was one of the many the Trib une received after the paper published a review of a con- cert given by Paulena Carter, beautiful and talented pianist, -and which brought down wrath on the heads of the startled - staff members. I ' Reporter Bill Force had written in his part of the review " that Miss Carter was so beautiful her ability as a pianist : didn't really matter. One of the women who" called us saidx icily that to comment in any manner whatsoever about the appearance of a musician giving a concert was in exceeding ly bad taste, and that no reviewer working for a large paper would be permitted to publish such a statement. - - Miss Lorengar's press book shows that critics in Paris, j ; London and Madrid all commented on her beauty, as well as :her voice. When she sang in New York City for the first "time, the New York Times critic referred to her as " a girl ', ."with the gifts of beauty and song" and the Saturday Review : : critic wrote "The young Spanish soprano looks well enough '. to have a stage career even if she couldn't sing, and sings 'well enough to have a musical one without her good looks." ; : The Mail Tribune's critic, Richard D. Werner, added his ; ; words to the others. His review, published today, ends with "this statement: "Although it was very easy to listen to her, 'it was easier to look at her." ; Potpourri and Pal Peg also found her most attractive, ; and both thought her gorgeous gown in excellent taste for : the concert stage. Back stage after the concert, Potpourri attempted to find out from the soprano where the gown - had been made, without success, for Miss Lorengar's English - Is very limited. However, we did discover that it was not lace, as we thought, but black net embroidered in an all 2 over design with what looked like glistening beads but was ; In reality a fabric or plastic cord or braid. It was designed ; with low, round neckline, fitted waist and very full skirt Z with back fullness and a neckline drapery in reverse cowl Z effect. The under layers of the gown were dark gray, rather Z than black, which we found particularly interesting. - ; ' History repeated itself, in a minor fashion, when Sue ; Jane Dempster and Gordon Carrigan were making last ; minute preparations for their wedding. Sue's older sister, ; Janet, and her fiance, James Lynch, arrived at the Jackson J county courthouse five minutes before closing time the day t they had to procure a marriage license, or else not get mar : ried the next day. ' , The day before Sue Jane and Gordon were to be married, ; the bridegroom forgot to pick up the marriage papers, for : which they had already signed. A frantic call to an employee Z of the county clerk's office brought out an obliging employee " who opened the office, Friday night, and handed over the - necessary documents so the couple could be married Satur- - day. Sunday. February 23, 1958 CinnaPear Whirls use fresh pears and spicy cinnamon candy sauce to make a dessert with a tempting rosy glow. Biscuit mix simplifies the dough and cuts down preparation time.

Serve warm with remain ing sauce. Makes 8 servings. Jangling Alarm Clock on Way Ouf La Salle, 111. IP) The days of the jangling alarm clock appear to be numbered, a clock maker said. "Apparently the rising Standard of living has brought with it a desire on the part of consumers for more gra cious and refined products, and this social or psychologi cal trend is steering the clock industry toward softer-toned, chime-like alarms," said Har old T. Millikin, an official of Westclox. Millikin recalled that the original Big Ben alarm clocks would "practi cally blast you out of bed," whereas the new ones feature a non-staccato, gentle ring. This story might be called "A Family Affair." The Frank Bowens, who recently came to Medford from Salt Lake City, have three daughters, and Mrs. Michael Fuhrer of Central Point has three sons. The two older Bowen daughters, Bonnie Jeanne and Sharon Judith, are engaged to the two older sons, Cecil Howard and William Lee Cog- hill. And the youngest in the two families, Patricia Lynne Bowen and James Edward Coghill, are "going steady." The three couples go on "triple dates" all the time, and have a wonderful time. If the manager of the Richfield Oil company in Medford missed any cardboard or paper from his office recently, he could have found it on the walls of the Masonic temple social rooms Wednesday. All painted pink and edged with white lace. His secretary, Mrs. Roy Nordwick, was decorations chairman for the style show which Reames Social club gave that day. She salvaged a lot of large placards, painted the reverse side valentine pink, cut them into big hearts and edged them with the paper laoe. Very pretty. And the back of each one said Richfield Oil company. Angus Bowmer of Shakespeare festival fame and drama Instructor at Southern Oregon college, is telling this story a little sadly. Someone asked a little girl who had attended "Cinderella", given recently by the SOC Players, how she liked the drama. "Oh, I liked it," she answered, and then added a little doubtfully, "But it wasn't a real movie. They were only pretending." -O.S. , ' ; Big 262 sq.

Trifari shows rope necklaces ranging from 30 to 120 inches long. New foundation garments are geared to the chemise this year. To achieve a straight silhouette, foundations round the bosom, ease the waist and flatten the hips. Top colors for the garments are poach, champagne, beige, blues, greens, and colored embroi dery on white, or white on black. Most important fabrics are laces, sheers, and pattern ed elastics. Millinery designer Walter Florell favors, the "hat-'n-hand" look for spring. He shows houndstooth check and paisley printed fabric hats with matching gloves to wear with navy and black costumes. Scarves take on new inter est now that shoulders, not waistlines, are emphasized. Square scarves are bigger, ob long ones are longer. Colors are brighter, textures more apparent. Oblong scarves range from narrow French ribbons to stole types. The conservative gold-bracelet type of watch has given way to fancier models, re ports the Jewelry Industry Council, which represents all branches of the business. Bracelet watches now range from snake-chain types to mas sive link designs with the watch such an integral part that it looks like another link. In the what-next depart ment an aluminum shoe. The National Shoe Institute reports the industry has brought out a metal shoe aft er a vear and a half of re search. The pointed-toe pump is woven of aluminum strands and trimmed with gun-metal kid.
