New York (UPI) -
knew something had been
missing from my generally
happy childhood. It was my
own set of "let's pretend"
clothes. I had to settle for my
mother's discarded high hetLs
last year's hat when
rainy-day play Qmong my set
featured the fascinating gmt
of pretending to be jjrown
up.
Today's generation is luck
ier, and also is creating a
whole new sideline for the
novelty manufacturers. "Play

Clothing
irl Fad
right to the chemise and
"mink" stole have come to
, market and are selling like
Cadillacs in Texas.
It all started a few months
ago when one enterprising
manufacturer began making
high-heeled pumps, according
to a spokesman for one of the
many stores stocking the
make-believe items. From the
plastic shoes, stockings just
like mom's were a natural
follow-up.
Oh You Kid!
Now, the "well - dressed
make-believer can have a
fringed chemise right out of
the 1920's, with bag to match,
long ropes of beads, fake fur
stole, breton hat with 'tulle
trim, even headbands.
"I won't be surprised if
the small fry start demanding
wigs like their , mother's,
said the buyer for one New
York department store. "And
of course by fall, let's-pretend
will have adopted the tra
peze."
- Women's- Wear- Daily, the
trade publication, said several
manufacturers have climbed
on the bandwagon. And the
clothes are such a hit one toy
buyer is having some "exclu
sives" made for her depart
ment, including a white bridal
dress and veil to capitalize
on the summer marrying sea
son.
Evening clothes also are fa
vorites.
"Now I'm a famous movie
star, in my glittering strap
less gown and tiara," reads
the newspaper advertisement
of a New York store. The
dress is full-length, made of
rayon taffeta, with elasticized
"stay-up" bodice.
Jtweli, T
Shown with the dress are
jewelled clutch bag, evening
sandals trimmed evening
mitts and rhinestone tiara yet.
The fake fur stoles are of
rayon plush and simulate
either the natural, the greyed,
or white mink. Bit cheaper,
though. Some sell for as little
as $2.
Shoes which started out as
fairly conservative get fancier
each day. Some now are of
transparent plastic with floral
trim, some are gold mesh,
others silver with blue trim.
The "let's pretend" clothes
come in three size ranges
small, medium and large.
Sof far the girls have the
corner on the clothes. Any
plans for boys who want to
dress up like pop?
"I doubt it," said one buy
er. "I think they'd rather .be
out playing baseball."

Ever since childhood days Potpourri has heard about
purple sage, but it wasn't until last Sunday .that we saw this
beautiful plant in bloom. It grows in considerable abund
ance in the Lava Beds National monument near Tulelake,
Calif., and the bushes are a startling sight when found
growing among the bleak-, black-lava boulders. The -royal
purple flowers assume an added beauty against the stark
rocks. - N . '
Pappy and Potpourri joined two other Mail Tribuners
and their families last Sunday for an excursion into the
famous Lava Beds country, and it, was one of those times
when everything turns out just right: The sunny .day; wasn't
too hot, the flowers were in bloom and the lava caves,
cinder cones and: other phenomena of, the country afford
an interesting and instructive day. It was a good day for
picture "taking, too, and the Tribune party wasted -no-
opportunity. Six adults and three youngsters made the
trip, with five cameras. Earl Adams and Pappy both had
their color cameras, Bob Vroman took along his press
camera and the young Vromans took, two small cameras..
The camera carriers had, a field day in the caves. The
"Visitor to the Lava Beds should not fail to explore the
caves. Our group went down into two (about 3 ' p.m. Mon
day Potpourri wished we had dne of those nice cool caves
right under The Mail Tribune newsroom, where the ther
mometer registered 86); , the Merrill ice cave, about a mile
from the highway, has strong, firm steps leading down into,
the opening and a sort of runway with a railing which aid
the visitor. It is a wise idea to pick up the gasoline lanterns
whitfh are available at headquarters without charge. Our
party had qnly flashlights for the first cave, but before
going down into the one near headquarters with the highly
descriptive name of "Mushpot" cave, we picked ,up a couple
of lanterns. Since at one low spot in Mushpot the visitor
has to either waddle like a duck or get down on all fours,
Potpourri would just as soon hear that the pictures taken
at this point were all ruined. "
1 On the other hand, we hope that pappy's pictures of the
purple sage and two or three other wildf lowers turn out
well. In the museum there is a description of the sage,
with the botanical name of salvia carnosa Douglas, unless
our memory fails. When we inquired of the ranger in
attendance if he could give us the name of , another flower,
a smallish plant with a lavender, daisy-like blossom, he
said. that it has never been classified. A naturalist sent to
the area a few years ago to list the flora and fauna, could
find no record of this particular flower, and so far as the
ranger knew, it has not since been classified.

The picnic dinner was eaten at the Eleener picnic ground,
a pleasant spot in a grove of junipers equipped with camp
stoves and tables, : other picnic necessities and even an
interesting bit of wild life. A plumy-tailed grey squirrel
hovered around, eagerly picking up the tidbits which the
young Vromans threw his way, and an inquisitive blue jay
also lunched with the 5 Medford group. Both pappy and
Susan Vroman tried to take pictures of the two, but with
little success. -
Those who had ambition enough to climb, after eating
Bob's expertly broiled steaks and a large quantity of other
picnic goodies, went up to see the Fleener chimneys, narrow
openings into the ground formed during a volcanic period
when the pressure of hot gases blew the molten lava into
the air above.
To many visitors, Captain Jack's "stronghold" is the
most interesting part of the monument. In this rugged and
forbidding place, the Modoc Indian leader, Kientepoos,
commonly called Captain Jack, and his men took advantage
of the natural fortress-like rock formation and alleyways
and successfully resisted the advances of the U.S. Army
troops for. months. It has been written that almost as many
American soldiers were killed by the Modocs as lost their
lives in all of the battles of the Spanish-American war. The
Indians, of course, bitterly resented the intrusions of the
whites into territory which had always ' been theirs, and
suffered much at the hands of the settlers.
Before leaving. the. area the cameramen "took, shots of
"Canby's Cross," a wooden cross erected at the spot where
General Canby and other members of a peace commission
were killed by the Modocs. This incident is vividly described
in a book on Captain Jack written by Doris Palmer Payne
of Klamath Falls.
In concluding her book Mrs. Palmer wrote that "close to
a million dollars in the currency of the day had been poured
into the campaign against the Modocs." Hundreds of soldiers
had marched as far as 200 miles, and fought side by side
with volunteers and Warm Spring r Indians to subdue this
band of 53 warriors, entrenched in the Lava Beds, defending
-what they thought was their right to a home in their Lost
river country."
A 'visit to the Lava Beds is a fine way to remind our
selves that generally speaking, the white man's treatment
of the Indian is a shameful part of the nation's history.
-
Those who stayed indoors Tuesday and Wednesday nights
instead of going out to watch the evening storm skies
cheated themselves of a glorious sight. The cloud formations
and colors, particularly Tuesday night, were , as spectacular
as any we can remember having seen in the past., :
While Pappy and Gene Cass worked at their cameras
Wednesday night in the hope of catching some of the beauty
on film, . Pappy remarked that the approaching rain bore
out an old-timer's saying, repeated to him by Vern Brophy.
It is to the . effect that three days after the first thunder
head clouds form in the southeast, it will rain on the valley
floor. O.S.
