Pearls Enhance Declares Expert on Jewels By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York UPD Diamonds, to some a girl's best friend, are just so much price tag to Mrs. Felicia Canova. She's a pearl girl one of the few women pearl import ers in the United States. "Diamonds have no person ality," said Mrs. Canova, al though she is- aware most of us women don't worry about that fact. "Only price tag. They are cold . . . why do you think they're referred to as 'ice'? Pearls have warmth; they light up a woman's face." Mrs. Canova's business is cultured pearls, which she contends are different only in cost from those the oyster produces without man-made irritation. The same size and type of genuine pearl, however, will cost 50 times as much as the cultured," she said. "Some genuine pearl necklaces go for as much as $50,000. You can buy a cultured one for $200 to $5,000, depending on the quality of the pearls, the size, and number of strands." King Of Pearls French -born Mrs. Canova, mother of two sons one a writer and the other a mathe matician, became an expert in pearls by first being an ex pert secretary. Coming to the United States after World War H, she worked for Leon ard Rosenthal, a millionaire dealer, generally dubbed the "King of Pearls." When he died in 1955, she opened her own business. I learned of Mrs. Canova in a roundabout fashion - Japan air lines called to say she had booked her first flight to the orient, center of cultured pearls breeding, and was their 100,000th trans pacific passenger. Later, in an interview, Mrs. Canova talked of some of the lore associated with pearls Cleopatra Wor Tiiem Cleopatra was one of the famous beauties to we them. Ancient Persian medals representing queens show the royal ladies with pearls in their ears. Persians also used pearls on their shoes, and as necklaces and eardrops. Greek women adorned them selves with pearls before sleeping, in order to possess them in their dreams. The largest pearl in the world was in the Hope collection - it Rhododendrons Program Topic For Gardeners. Dr. Fred T. Burich spoke on tne culture oi rnoaoaen drons and azaleas before a large group at the recent meeting of the Medford Gar den club. He explained why they should have much the same care and location as they had in their native wild state in China. They should be located in partial shade, protected from the wind and have plenty of moisture, Dr. Burich said. Their small roots grow close to the surface and should al ways be mulched with either peat moss, oak leaves or well rotted compost. The soil should be on the acid side and each plant should be well drained. The speaker added that some fertilizer can be given as for any acid loving plants but it is better to give too little than too much. Mrs. Thomas Cardona, bird chairman, gave a report on the various birds she encount ered on her recent trip back to the middlewest ( and throughout the southern states. Mrs. Oscar Larson and Mrs. Ralph Jones were presented a prize from the club. Mrs. Mattie Carson of Butte Falls displayed an unusual arrange ment of wild orchid, Calypso, found in the logging area near her home. , Mrs. Ira . Fitzgerald, flower show chairman, spoke of the annual spring flower show which is scheduled for May 23 in Hedrick Junior High school between 1 and 8:30 p.m. She advised all flower lovers in this locality to bring en tries and to have them on lo cation before 9:30 o'clock Saturday morning.

The lace covered tea table was centered with an arrange ment of blended peach and yellow azaleas. Mrs. Ella Lar son and Mrs. E. M. Wallin poured. Mrs. John Mansfield, tea chairman, was assisted by Mrs. William Naylor, Mrs, Harry Olson and Mrs. J. V. Female Face 3 was a baroque weighing 1860 grains. Mrs. Canova isn't sure who owns it now. In all parts of the world, she said, pearls are associated with brides "probably because pearls enhance." And, to some people, the pearl "symbolizes tears," but Mrs. Canova isn't superstitious. Her own favorite necklace is a 24-inch single strand of cultured pearls, given her by the widow of her employer. A woman should select the tone of pearls to go with her complexion and hair color, she said. By types, here are the most becoming colors. Blonde with blue eyes white pearls; Red hair with fair skin white with either a rose or very pale green tint; Dark hair with fair skin -white with rose tint.' Dark hair with hair skin cream or rose tint. TO PLAY'S THE THING French couturier Magpy Ronff fashions a sheer pink, lilac and vhile checked cotton into a chic plavsuit.
