Newspaper Page Text6A MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Sunday, August 31, 1958 IPnilpBnnirirfi Judith Hall, who was married last Sunday to Gaynor Huck of Klamath Falls, was valedictorian of her class when she was graduated from Jacksonville High school. The night before graduation ceremonies her father, Melvin Hall, suf fered a heart attack and instead of being in the high school auditorium that night, was in the hospital. Imagine the frus tration of the family when, the week before his daughter's wedding, Mr. Hall was put to bed by his doctor-with the mumps. However, the wedding reception was held in the garden of the family home, and Mr. H. was able to watch the happy scene from his bedroom window. He also could take comfort in the fact that he- had been able to be in the audience when Judy was graduated from Southern Oregon college. One of Judy's wedding gifts was unique. Roy Martin of Jacksonville made a cross for her which was used on the altar for the wedding, held in First Presbyterian church in Medford. The bride now plans to present the cross to First Presbyterian church, Jacksonville, the historic church which she has attended for many years. The summer wedding season has been marked by a large number of garden weddings. Gardens such as that of the M. N. Hogans in Medford and the Arch Barksdales in Ash land provide a perfect setting for a wedding. Both have paved patios and lawns on two levels. Both families planted flower beds in an effort to bring on heaviest bloom just at the wedding time. The Hogans said they "missed '. by a couple of weeks the wedding of their daughter Sharon, to Ken neth Mattson of Portland, but nevertheless the flowers ana shrubbery provided a pretty setting. Mrs. Barksdale, who is the gardener of the family, had better luck and the pink and white zinnias and petuias she planted produced great masses of flowers just at the right time. Mrs. B. took credit for the flowers, but said many of the other ideas which worked out so well came irom ine fertile brain of her friend, Mrs. Don Brace. It was Mrs. Tirana's irlea in snrav the rocks of the small outdoor grill and fireplace with white paint, and to fill the pit with dozens of white gladiolus. Sne also came up wun me mca . cross atop the fireplace, and the result was a most acceptable improvised altar. When Mrs. Barksdale wondered what in the world to do with the basketball hoop and net which hang from the garage wall over the paved area, Mrs. Brace had another idea. She filled it with ivy and flowers and gathering the net together at the bottom, attached a cluster of wedding bells to it, providing just the right background for the table hold ing the bride's cake. One last brain child deserves special mention-Mrs. Brace made a tiny bouquet and tied it to the collar of the Barks dale's spaniel, who wandered among the guests during the wedding and reception. At first it had been planned to send the dog away the day of the wedding, but the bride insisted that the event just wouldn't be right without her beloved pet. The bride's mother kept insisting that she had hardly worried about the wedding details at all since she had not only Mrs. Brace's help, but much advice from Mrs. H. Myers, a professional wedding consultant who this time made her services a "labor of love." "I'm a grandmother" said a voice over the phone Satur day afternoon. It was Grandma Mary Kelly with the excit ing news that her son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Edward JamesXJimmy) Kelly, were the parents of a daughter born a short time before the call at Sacred Heart hospital. Mrs. Kelly and her husband, Circuit Judge Edward Kelly, were amazed over the fact that their first grandchild was not only born on her father's 23rd birthday, but at the same time in the afternoon. The new granddaughter, named Shan non Marie, was born at 3:50 p.m. August 30, 1958; her father was born at 3:52 p.,., August 30, 1935. Shannon's mother is the former Sandra Paquin, a daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Paquin of Grants Pass.

Fashion Dictates Jumpers; Fur Lends Elegant Touch United Press International St. Louis designers say this is the season of the jumper for the younger set.

Smaller Pieces Furniture Trend Los Angeles-(UPD-The new trend in home furnishing is toward smaller, more flexible pieces which allow for added spaciousness. The reason: Homes today are smaller, because of rising building costs. The new trend was empa sized at the opening of Los Angeles' 12-story furniture mart. One firm displayed furni ture that stacks. Another showed "space savers." A. third featured multi-purpose pieces. The Brown-Saltman firm disployed a double purpose magazine corner table and a "Ta-Buffet," which functions as a buffet but converts into a small or large table. California Couch showed a corner grouping, consisting of two couches, one of which slides under a corner table. The Donnenfield Co. pre sented contour stools which I can function as a bench.

And for the first time, coloful enamels were used to accent furniture and lamps. Buyers noted a swing to dark woods, mainly walnut, although teak and rosewood came in for their share of use. Maple continued to be used for provincial pieces, but in general California desginers seemed to prefer walnut. Light, small furniture pre vailed. The manufacturers ex plained that if a homemaker desires massiveness, she gen erally can create it by group ing together several pieces. r'v) ft r 4 BASIC REQUIREMENT for back to school is this long sleeved, bulky knit pull-over sweater.

Lampshades Remember Los Angeles - (UPD - Lamn shades which return immedi ately to their original Dosition when pulled out of shape were introduced at the new Los Angeles Furniture Mart. Called "shades with a mem ory," they are made of a strong, flexible plastic ribbon, are washable and do not discolor. Designer John Keal used the special material to make the shade and the lamp a single unit rather than separ ating shade from base. Button Business Is Flourishing One In Spite of Zippers Nashville, Tenn. -UPD-When somebody said the zipper would kill the button business, Mrs. B. J. Edwards laughed. She had been in the button business since 1917 and, she says, business is better than ever. She opened the shop to sup plement her income when she first married but stayed with it because she liked it. Now she's surrounded by thousands of buttons. All kinds and sizes. The smallest are a mere one-eighth of an inch in diameter. And the granddaddies of buttons run up to three inches in diameter (They're easy to find when you drop them). The walls of her shop are covered with cards of buttons. They are made of everything glass, plastic, shells and so on, round, flat, square, or just about any shape you can imagine. She even makes her own. , Her bottons are cloth and leather covered. They're used for clothing and upholstering. And she sells buttons in any amount. As she says, chances are people will always need but tons. Salmon Salad Add a crisp, sweet note to chunky salmon salad with in stant minced onion. Break canned salmon into large pieces.
