"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. The recipes are given here.

"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. -. .

Last ' week the Henlins arrived here from
Los Angeles and are guests of Mr. and Mrs.
T. W. Dugan, 325 South Holly street. The
two women are sisters. Eight of the 10 chil

American Women Neglect

"There's no doubt about it,"
she said in an interview.
"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

tent of naming the nation
where the women own the
ugliest feet and legs-"I should
put my foot in my mouth?"
she laughed. -

property of Siamese and In

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.

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.
New Look

mosaic-like top on a coffee
table with a minimum of ex
pense by " peeling the color
chips from out-dated color
charts and gluing them side
by side in a brick work pat
tern. When the glue dries, apply

shellac to protect the pretty
surface and give it a fine
gloss. -
