DONT MISS WARDS STYLE SHOW,
We've said it before and we say it again. 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.
