Sunday, July 5, 1959 A MAIL TRIBUNE, Mcdferd, Or. Q I f ; ; ; Yv. ft' s jtytt ,' f Tl "Mrs. Oregon." who in private life is Mrs. Grant Chase of Eugene, is shown here with her husband during a vacation in Nassau, Bahamas. They are examining a straw hat bought in one of the Nassau markets. Mr. and Mrs. Chase flew to the British colony via Mackey Airlines following the Mrs. Amer ica contest in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. In Ft. Lauderdale Mrs. Chase competed in a contest in which the women baked yeast bread and made pretty desserts. - Mrs. Oregon's entries in the contest were Date Braids and Royal Pineapple Bavarian.

"Why don't the smart manufacturers of packaged" and prepared foods make . more edible containers?" inquired Pappy, as he looked at all the good muffin crumbs stuck to the little fluted paper cups in which they had been baked. "Like ice cream cones, for instance." Which reminded Potpourri that while ice cream cones have been a part of the American scene for a long time, they were a great surprise when first manufactured. The first cones were served to the public at the big World's Fair in St. Louis 55 years ago. According to the Dairy association, this all-American favorite, was born of necessity. One day, so the story goes, the ice cream booth rn out of dishes be cause there was so many customers. A neighboring pastry booth came to the rescue. The owner of the pastry Tooth was a Syrian gentleman named Ernest Hamwi and he rolled out one of the thin wafer-like waffles, for which he was famous, into the shape of a cone, or cornucopia. When the cornucopia filled with ice cream was handed to an eager customer, his reaction was spontaneous. The ice cream cone was on its way to becom ing a great American product. , ' ' " - It was not until 1906 that the word "cornucopia" was shortened to the more familiar; "cone", which identified the handy and delicious ice cream container, say the Dairymen. The ice cream cone, as we know it today, developed along two patterns; the rolled cone and the molded cone. The rolled product was a baked waffle in round shape which was at first rolled by hand, later mechanically, as soon as it came off the griddle. In a few seconds, it hardened in the form of the crisp cone that is known today. " " The molded cone was shaped in . one. of two ways; either the batter was poured into a shell and a core inserted on which the cone was baked, or the cone was formed in a mold which was split so that the cone on the form or pin could be removed without difficulty. As for. Potpourri, we just like ice cream-in a cone, in a dish, on a stick, inside of a chocolate coat or just any old way. Last Saturday night found Potpourri covering two events -the Reames chapter installation where we saw many beau tiful dresses, and a "Beatnik party" where the clothing was eye-stopping, if not beautiful." At the chapter event Mrs. Frank C. Roberts, who was installed as new worthy matron, wore a pretty yellow or gandy dress with rows of "white lace on the skirt. Mrs. John fDorothv) Smith, a rjast worthy matron who was installing marshal, wore a particularly interesting gown of flowered polished cotton made with a belled skirt which swooped lower in the back. Potpourri's one-woman campaign to have American wom en walk more gracefully was encouraged by watching Mrs. Smith. The installing marshal at one of these functions walks what must seem like 10 or 12 miles, but every step which Mrs Smith took was easy and graceful. She confessed after wards that her pretty shoes were really quite old, and that she wore them for comfort rather than style because of the rigours of the ceremony. The many guests at the event were vastly amused by Mrs. Roberts' small son. Curt, who with his sister, Teresa, presented flowers to their mother and the new worthy patron, Carl Oestreich. Just at the strategic momejit when he was to leave his seat on the sidelines and walk to where his mother and the other offices stood, a long-loose tooth fell out. So Curt advanced for his "big moment" carrying Mr. Oestreich's boutonniere in one hand and the lost tooth in the other. Devoted Eastern Star members use the installation cere mony as a time for gift-giving, and those received by many of the women Saturday night represented hours of work for Mrs. Oestreich and her husband. Both are weavers, and the two made about a score of lovely stoles which were presented during the event. . . - At the Beatnik party given by the' Don Herrieds and the John Reids, the guests assembled whatever conglomeration of clothing struck their fancy. Since both men and women added dark glasses, wigs, false mustaches and a variety of headgear, it was downright impossible for the society editor to recognize most of the guests. Since the true "beatniks" such as are found in San Fran cisco haunts are devotees of poetry, music and the other arts, some of the guests brought books and musical instru ments. Mrs. Houston Bush Jr., wearing an uncombed wig and dark glasses, and her husband provided impromptu entertainment. Mrs. H. perched on top of a ladder and read poetry while her husband played soothing music on the clarinet.-O.S. -. .

Gardener Gives Directions For Use of Many Herbs American Women Neglect Shoes, Designer Declares By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor , New York - (DPD - American women own the world's best looking legs and feet, but take the world's worst care of their shoes, says one globe-trotting observer. ' 4 Virginia Williams, fashion director f o'r Mademoiselle Shoes, reached this down-at-the-heels conclusion from nine weeks and 36,000 miles - of AREA WIDE With 1 M& Recently Returned From 5th Great Missionary Journey ; 7:45 EACH NIGHT Beginning Tuesday, July, 7th FAITH Bob Herald Hat Conducted Over 300 Revivals in 58 Countries "All Gifts in Operation" Word of Revelation Knowledge KWIN EACH SUNDAY 4:30 P.M.

"Women in this country have the shapeliest legs, the slim est feet. Thriftier "But people in other coun tries take better care of their shoes. It's an automatic thing . . . maybe they're just thrif tier. In Saigon, every sandal is polished. In India, the shoes all look clean, .and that takes some doing with all the dust." The fashion expert, a native of Chicago, former newspaper woman and magazine editor, zig-zagged froms New York westward to the .Orient and back home by way of India, the Middle East and Europe. She returned not even foot sore. "I took about 18 pairs of shoes," she said, "from san dals to sturdier medium heels for uneven payments to spikes for dresses. Every woman, for her own foot health, should change shoes at least twice a day." Miss Williams w o u 1 d n't stick her neck out to the ex tent of naming the nation where the women own the ugliest feet and legs-"I should put my foot in my mouth?" she laughed. - Not a U. S. Monopoly Preety feet lso are the property of Siamese and In dian women, who wear san dals most of their lives. "Sensible," heavy shoes dominate the street scene in the northern countries of Eu rope "for climatic reasons warmth and .protection against dampness." No one country, sets the shoe fashions-"there is more trading around of styles." The one exception those pointed toes which she said the Ital ians originated after the war and now "are universal." Other than in the United States, the highest heels are worn in Athens, Borne and Paris, she said. - X By , , EDNA KING MANDEVILLE Is there, anything quite so delightful when preparing the meal as being able to use gar den fresh, full-flavored herbs from your own garden?

'Sage: Beef, veal, poultry, dressing, sauces, green or lima beans, tomatoes and. to mato juice. If you are using garden fresh herbs for the first time be careful not to use too much. Enthusiasm may lead you to be a bit too liberal. Some are very pungent and should be used stintingly. A little, or even too little, is far better than too much. Season ings should be used to en hance the flavor, not bury it. Any non-acid food that boils over may remain on the oven floor until charred. Then it will clean off easily. Paint in Tubes A new artists' paint using a plastic base instead of oil for permanent, non-fading color, is now on the market, packaged in collapsible metal tubes. Said to. eliminate the yellowing effect of linseed oil bases, the new paint pro vides the same texture as oil, can be thinned to give water color effects as well. The col lapsible metal tube was in vented by an artist to elimi nate the need for mixing colors while working on a picture.
