Something should be done about crowding the May and June calendar. This current rush of activities is enough to wear the society editor down to practically jiothing - that is, if the food served at all the events wasn't so good. In a week Potpourri has attended two style shows, a tea, a dinner and installation and a retirement party. As we write (Saturday) we're trying to decide whether to attend the Medford Garden club flower show, the Werner voice recital or the Centennial Varieties -or maybe just go home and collapse. Couldn't something be scheduled earlier? To be sure, Tudor guild endeavored to stage the annual style show earlier, but the RVCC just wasn't done renovat ing in time. However, the new dining room was worth wait ing for. We've heard nothing but praise for the appearance of the room. The lighting fixtures are particularly artistic both as to design and color. A lot of other people were rushing last week, too. For instance, some of the women who modeled for the style show which Mon Desir and Burelsons gave Monday night at the Inn, were also models for the Tudor guild event Friday night. Mrs. William Patton, Mrs. Aubrey Hill and Mrs. John L. Thompson must have spent a large share of their time getting in and out of new and fashionable frocks. Advertising people and merchandisers must sit up nights thinking up clever names. Years ago they came up with "clam diggers" as a name for feminine trousers which were shorter than slacks and longer than shorts. Then we had pedal pushers, TV trousers, Capris and calf skinners. At the Tudor guild show we heard a new one - sand dabbers. And worn with them were clod hoppers, in other words, pretty little canvas play shoes. Belts are getting wider and wider - sort of double decker deals now. And hats, particularly to go with beach and patio wear, are crazier and crazier. Mrs. William Dawkins wore one for the Friday night show which sloped down to her shoulders was practically as large as a Hottentot hut. Two new "beauty tricks" are sweeping the country. One is having the ends of the hair spot bleached or dyed, or both - the other is the "white lipstick." Potpourri is usually a little on the dubious side about hair-bleaching, but some of the women we know have achieved very inter esting effects. One said her beauty operator takes a large shower cap and cuts it full of hit and miss holes. She puts it on the head of the victim, pulls wisps of short hair through the holes and bleaches and dyes it. The result in this one case was very effective. As for the white or luminous lip stick - so far we haven't seen any that enhanced the beauty of the wearers. Advertisements from the makers say it may be used either under the usual lipstick, or applied on top and is supposed to give the lips a "luminous, youthful glow." There's something new in the news every day. In the Manchester Guardian we read that in Canada an agricul turist is perfecting a "house trained onion," odorless but otherwise just like other onions. They call it the social onion.-O.S. Junior Women Tour Home of James Grigsbys Medford Junior Women's club held the last regular busi ness meeting of the year at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Grigsby, Old Stage road. Members and guests toured the interesting old two-story home and viewed Mrs. Grigs by's collections of silver, crystal and bone china. Mem bers were particularly inter ested in her large collection of bone china cups, and also her two large looms. Mrs. William E. Sweet gave a report on the convention of Oregon Federation of Wom en's club held in Roseburg May 5-6. Delegates from the local club were Mrs. Robert Billingsley, Mrs. J. L. Holmes Jr., and Mrs. Sweet. A high light of the convention for the Medford delegation was the honor given Mrs. Billingsley for having won second place in the statewide Vogue sew ing contest. Mrs. Billingsley modeled her dress and jacket at a luncheon during the con vention and was presented an additional prize consisting of a silver cake server. Presenting the evening's program, Mrs. Wallace Haskins showed color slides of her trip to England, Scotland, Sweden, Denmark, France, Italy,- and Switzerland. Mrs. Haskins also brought gift items from each of the countries she had visit ed and displayed them for members and guests.
