N ' I -SNIDER'S MILK -1 f IS WDM IPnttpinii'irn The marriage rate in the United States is declining, al though this seems hard to believe after a glance through the society section of today's Tribune. Anyhow, the Statistical Bulletin of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company says that there were 1,521,000 weddings in the United States dur ing 1957, or 64,000 fewer than in 1956. Thf Bulletin Doints out that the marriage rate last year 8 9 per 1,000 population (including the Armed Forces over ooa was about five per cent below the rate of 9.4 per 1,000 ror-nrHPfl in 1956. and the lowest since 1933. In Arizona, where a pre-marital blood test and a waiting v,c ko,n onfnrrpH since December of 1956, and in Mow MoYirn. where a nre-marital blood test law became ef fective in 1957, there were sharp decreases. However, the neighboring states of Colorado, Nevada and California show ed increase, and it is also believed that an increasing number of U.S. citizens are crossing the "border into old Mexico to Va marripH. Brides are generally younger today, according to a study by the Survey Research Center of the University of Michi gan, but they take life more seriously. . ' Today's typical bride, says the Center, is about 20 years old, and her bridegroom is 23. in spue oi tneir youin, more couples now. start life insurance programs Deiore mdnidge, the survey reported. So far this season the society reporters of The Mail Trib une have had no stories of weddings where the brides wore tv.a nhpmisp dress, but several mothers have chosen sacks or chemises. If the fad does spread to wedding gowns: manv a bride will be able to take her mother's wedding dress, worn in the Twenties, out of mothballs and doh it for the march down the aisle. Somehow, we can't imagine writing "the bride wore a white satin sack. Wedding gowns, like any other garment, come in a varie ty of prices. So do veils and other bridal foofaraw. A recent advertisement of B. Altman ana company in me mew iuis Times listed laces of ' "legendary beauty to make our mag nificent wedding veils." The laces were of blends of rose nnint int H'AnfTleterre and noint a l'aiguille, "all created a quarter-century ago in Belgium where needlework is one of the finer arts." One was priced at $3,500; another at $5,000 and three mantilla-type short veils were "priced at S475. S500 and $595. Of "special interest" said the advertisement, is "one linen point d'Angleterre and rose point bridal handkerchief at $125." Of very special interest, yes. , . Conventions are usually a headache for a newspaper, but Mrs. James Redman1, Portland, the PEO convention re nnrfpr and Pntnourri cot alons fine. We were a guest of Mrs. Redman for luncheon Monday and the group within "talking distance" had a real friendly time. We all admired the beautiful roses which E.'E. Vehrs, Grants Pass roseman, had sent over, and we also investigated the holders which someone said were of a material called "oasis." It looks like green plastic foam, but is finer textured and retains mois ture. Very handy stuff for table decorations. Somehow or other the conversation turned to wedding anniversaries and Mrs. Redman related how she and Mr. R. had celebrated a special one not long ago. Since they had taken a plane trip for their honeymoon, a novelty at the time, they decided to arrange an anniversary plane journey. In the meantime, however, some friends planned a party which they could not miss. The friends lived in the country near Portland, and this gave Mr. Redman a bright idea. He hired a helicopter, and on the evening of the party the 'copter pilot delivered the Redmans at the party, setting the whirly bird smartly down practically in the middle of the surprised guests gathered in the garden. Mrs. Redman wore her wedding gown of the Twenties vintage, and she and her husband created a sensation. i Caesar Muzzioli and Mrs. M. came back from Portland the first of the week in a very happy mood. Mr. Muzzioli's accordion pupils had won so many prizes in competition with hundreds of other students from all over the Northwest that the teacher was practically walking on air. Actually, he was driving a new car which he hadn't planned to buy at all. But the Muzzioli's small son, who ftad been playing with the key of the car they drove to Portland, lost it so thoroughly it was never recovered. After several frantic hours, the car was towed into a garage where the Medford couple -saw a new automobile and bought it. Many heirloom articles were used for the wedding of Phyllis Jean Taylor and Richard Karl Gustafson on June 7, but one new article was a tablecloth from France. The cloth, used for the reception refreshment table, was sent to the Taylors when Jean Lelut, farm exchange student from France, was living in their home-and was a gift from the young man's parents. The French family arranged for flow ers to be sent to the bride, which pleased the Taylors very much. Jean Lelut, now jn the French army and stationed on the island of Martinique, recently wrote to the Central Point family andthe letter came Friday. Mrs. Taylor said the young Frenchman sounded very lonely, and she believes he would be pleased to receive letters from valley friends. His address is Jean Lelut, Service Social, De L'Armee Quartier Galliene, Fort De France, Martinique. He explained conditions in Martinique thusly: Everyone is either very rich, very poor or in the army. O.S. your home Smj an oven ? c .

Stich man, of the Hudson-Manhat tan railroad. Stichman' plans to install for ladies only" cars, in soft shades of pink and grey, on the commuter trains running between Newark,' N. J., and New York City. "Some of the railroads have the men's club cars," said Stichman. "One airline has special flights for male executives only. I think it's high time somebody gave a little attention to the comfort of the ladies. "I think some of the wives will be happy to be away from husbands for a while." Designer Says Most Men Like Homey Hotels By MARY PRIME United Press International New York (UPI) Men want the home-sweet-home at mosnhere around them even when they're away from home. That's whv Arthur Finn, an interior designer, never cre ates a masculine atmosphere when decorating rooms for 11 hotels owned by the Manger chain. He decorates two or three houses a year ("only ones I'm very interested in personal ly"), has done private yachts and an ocean liner ,ana is starting work on 100,000 square feet of offices in a nu clear research laboratory. To make hotel rooms homey, Finn sticks to the standard exDosure rule cool colors for southern exposures and warm colors for rooms with northern windows. He favors walnut formica furniture because it is "warm, clean and fresh," and uses woven fabrics instead of plush "which" looks like it harbors dirt." Low. curved lobby desks also helr make guests feel at home because the desks seem to reach out and welcome the Dersons. Finn said. He be lieves the old-fashioned high desk was a barrier between clerk and guest. Men are more concerned with cleanliness and conveni ence than service, he added. 'Men don't mind some things for themselves. For instance, they don't want a room to look like a bedroom, so they're willing to pull out the studio bed at night." - Other features geared for men's likes include good shav ing lights and outlets, plenty of large towels, terry cloth robes and phones in bath- I asked him if he realized that feminine nature being what it is, he might be head ing for trouble; that some of the claws might come un sheathed. "Not worried at all," said Stichman. "I have a higher opinion of the feminine sex than you do." The special cars will be in stalled July 1, he said, and all will be air - conditioned. But," said Stichman, "the women don't HAVE to ride the special cars. They can ride with the men, if they want." poorskfTpoor skin jj??n ' M i r skin poor skin -p I lot skin poor skin j or skin, poor skin , I Wm Jt I lor skin poor skin -jr Ttol fer3r3ski" - I Aft W fterskin. poor skin V Vh Vjpr skin poor skin fv"ipl 1 V skin . poor skin Soinpl Twiskin poor .skin fJKi doot skin ur 1 or ski skin pr skin skin r skin poor skin poor skin poor skin poor skin poor skin poor skin poor skin poor skin poor ! poor skin poor skin poor skin utiful complexion complexion complexion complexion complexion :omplexion mplexion mplexion plexion lex ion exion exion exion lexion lex ion plexion exion exion complexion utiful complexion ' joutiful complexion jeautiful complexion 4 beautiful complexion a beautiful complexion .fo a beautiful complexion Into a beautiful complexion Turn a poor skin into a beautiful complexion ...with FRANCES DENNEY Visible Pore Treatment QUICK! , EASY TO USEI SHOWS RESULTS IN MINUTESI This ?s the answer to dull, sallow, tired skin!.

Miss Nell Farrar retired re cently after 24 years as super intendent of the state "voca tional training school for girls here. She saw an awful lot of "problem children" come and go during those years. Miss Farrar said most of the girls who passed through the school would not have been there if their parents had paid them more attention. Her advice to parents is to stay home more with the chil dren, take part inall activ ities which concern the chil dren, such as school and church, know where the chil dren are and the company they keep. teottish Rite Worn Medford9 Masonic p.m. ! en's club, temple.
