New Spring Clothes Reveal
Results of a Good Winter
By GAY PAULEY
United Press Women's Editor
New York (IF) One trou

They display the fact that

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.

If you wear the shirt-tail on

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.
