They display the fact that some of us wintered too well. Those bulges which dark winter clothes merci fully conceal ed become V 's-a.. painfully re- led. Oh v e had ' '4 we' Gay Pauley plenty Of warning, if we bothered to check the bathroom scales once a week. But there are dozens of other signs, more subtle. For instance, you're putting on weight: If a friend comments, "Well Work or a winter vacation certainly agrees with you." Skimping on Fabrie If you decide that chemise you tried on was too tight through the hips because the manufacturer was skimping on fabric. If you say to yourself, "I really should watch the cal ories. But I'll wait until next week." If you blame the hint of a double chin on the passing years instead of passing the plate for seconds. If you tried on last year's bathing suit and decided some clothes just don't carry over from season to season. If your friends have stopped complimenting you on your figure. If hubby sends you flowers instead of candy on your birthday. If you decide the bathroom scales are out of whack. If you're dining out and the waiter suggests fruit compote instead of French pastry for dessert. If you tell the salesgirl you take size 12 and she say's, "Well, I'll just bring out a couple of 14's, as long as you're trying on." If you end up buying the 14.

TP o it pDun ir irn The past winter in Washington, D.C., was strenuous, from the standpoint of both the winter and social life, but interesting and exciting, according to Priscilla Porter, wife of Congressman Charles O. Porter from Oregon. Knowing that southern Oregon women are interested in what goes on in the nation's capital, Potpourri asked Mrs. Porter to report on the family's activities in recent months. "We tried to take things easy in November and Decem ber," she wrote, "hoping to rest up before the session began in January. Charlie, of course, was busy at the office every day, but he did get home almost every evening. "The one big excitement, for me at least, was our trip to Honduras just before Christmas, as personal guests of the new Honduran president. What a beautiful country Honduras is! We spent one day of our short stay seeing the Mayan ruins at Copan, a tiny village about 120 miles north of Tegucigalpa, the capital. We had to fly in, as there are no roads. We had a native lunch at a small inn in the village. "The one mishap was having our luggage stay in Mexico City, then go on to Panama and finally catch up with us a day late. We went to a formal dinner party in our wrinkled travelling clothes, and borrowed slacks, etc., from our hosts for our sightseeing trip. If the children had been with us, or if it hadn't been so near Christmas, we would have been tempted to stay for awhile. As it was, we were gone five days and returned December 23rd to find the boys had put up and decorated our tree all on their own. And very pretty it was. "New Year's Eve. seemed to be the start for us of the social whirl. We "went to a gala reception given by Senor Horacio Aguirre, publisher of the Spanish-American paper The Americas Daily,' at his beautiful home in the Spring Valley section where many notables, including the Vice President, live. From there we went to two other gay parties. We managed to get home soon after midnight because Don, our 13-year-old, was our baby-sitter. "The first big event of 1958 I attended was the President's delivery of his message to Congress on January 6. From my seat in the gallery of the House of Representatives, I saw the Senators, the members of the Supreme Court, the Am bassadors from foreign lands, and the Cabinet members file in. It was fun to see how many of these I could recognize. I had an excellent view of Mrs. Eisenhower, who looked lovely in blue. Across from me I also spotted Mrs. Cafritz, whom I have never met. She supposedly vies with Mrs. Perle Mesta for the 'Hostess' title of Washington. "One of the most 'fun' times we had was at the CBS-TV Affiliates dinner, where we were guests of Bill Smullin, one of the owners of your TV station in Medford and his charming wife. We also enjoyed seeing Jerry Poulos, man ager of KBES-TV. It was an evening of pure enjoyment with Art Linkletter, Phil Silvers, Danny Thomas and Patti Page entertaining a large group of Congressmen and Senators and their wives. "Another high spot was the Oregon State society dinner where we say many friends and won a prize of one case of maraschino cherries. If you know of a recipe which would help us use up a case of maraschino cherries, I'd be most grateful. "These are the three evening affairs of the many we have attended that stand out right now. "During the daytime I'm busy with the children and the house. I spent many hours making living room and dining room draperies and bathroom curtains by hand! Now, I'm trying to hurry and finish curtains for Don's room before it is time to move again! This is a wonderful oppor tunity to watch television with a clear conscience. "I've joined the Women's National Democratic club which has luncheons every Monday, with a speaker an ambassador or a member of Congress. These programs are interesting and I wish I could manage to attend them all. "The Radcliffe club of Washington meets once a month. A recent meeting was held at the Japanese Embassy where we heard about life in Japan today. On March 18 we met in the Old House Office building and heard Representatives Stewart Udall and Peter Frelinghuysen debate federal aid to education. Both have five children and, like all parents, are concerned with this problem. "Then the 85th Congressional Wives club is always fun. The members are wives of men elected to the 85th Congress. We meet once a month at various places of interest. One meeting was at the National Gallery of Art. Another included luncheon at the Pentagon with a tour of the Pentagon after wards. "The Democratic Congressional Wives forum also meets once a month with a workshop before lunch. . "I try to limit my day-time social activities to one a week, but this is not always possible. Recently I went to Mrs. Eisenhower's tea for Congressional wives. She received us in the Green Room and she was dressed in a beautiful green dress. She is very gracious and genuine. "I have found time to do a few other things. The most recent was taking a first aid course. I haven't yet decided what my next project will be. There are so many things to do. "And then there is trying to repay all our social obliga tions. We both like to have friends in but Charlie has so many functions he must attend, we don't have much oppor tunity for this. However, one Saturday night not long ago, we had the Costa Rican ambassador, Gonzalo Facio, and his wife, our next door neighbors he is city planner for the Pan-American Union and other friends for dinner. "Snow started falling in the morning, but I was too busy to notice much. Charlie, however, and Don went out late in the afternoon to shovel the walk a half hour later it needed shoveling again and again. At 6:30 guests-to-be started calling to see if it was going to be possible to come at all Charlie convinced them all it would be all right. "It took the ambassador one and one-half hours to get to our house, usually a ride of 20 minutes at the most even in rush hour. They all seemed to enjoy themselves, for they stayed quite late, and then it became even later for two of the cars had to be pushed out of the drifts that had piled up while we ate and talked. It was the worst snow storm in thirty years! Fortunately after , they finally got off, Jiey were able to make it home without further difficulties. "On week ends we try to concentrate on the children. Saturdays Charlie takes the children on a jaunt and on Sundays we go to church and then do some sight-seeing. The Washington Monument is a favorite and the boys climbed the many steps the last time. Another favorite spot is the zoo, but we are waiting for some warm weather for that. "How do I like Washington? I like it very much. I miss our friends, our nice home in Oregon and the mild, fresh Oregon weather. And Charlie and I both dislike the traffic in big cities. But it is exciting to live in our great capital city and meet, formally and informally, many cf the men and women who are making and carrying out the policies of our government. Besides, Charlie told me when I first met him 21 years ago that this was the aim of his life to represent Oregon in the Congress of the United States. It's strenuous but he enjoys it and so do I." O.S. Violet Legend Revived oh Card Kansas City, Mo. (IP) The charming legend of why the violet humbly bows its face toward the earth is re counted this year on one of the new greeting cards Ameri cans will exchange to mark the Easter season. As Jesus walked through a garden the flowers there sang hymns of joy. All, that is, except a tiny violet that tried in vain to see Him.. But when He reached the violet, Jesus paused and smil ed upon it making the violet realize that its tiny stature made it no less in His eyes. "And, to this day,, all violets bows their faces toward the sod, remembering that "meet ing with the Blessed Son of God," says the legend on the card. The legend of. the violet card is one of a vastly ex panded variety of religious Easter greetings this year, ac cording to a spokesman for a greeting card firm. Other Easter greetings offer prayers and reprint quotations and passages from the Bible.
