MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford. Or. The society gals of the Denver Post are always writing about someone giving "a gala" in the Mile High City. Well, the Rogue Valley has "galas," too. . The opening night of the Shakespearean festival was a truly gala event, and so was the party w&ch the Alfred S. V. Carpenters gave Monday night at Rogue Valltfy Country club. The weather was absolutely ideal a cloud less sky and a balmy evening, the hosts were charming, the guests in a festive mood and the refreshments and fare satisfying; the women's Vowns were colorful and interesting and the conversations entertaining. It was a real , "gala." Immediately a woman is invited to a party she gets a thoughtful look on her face and asks herself "Now, what shall I wear?" Fortunately, they don't all come up with the same ideas, or the result would be really dull. Mrs. Carpenter and her daughter, Mrs. Burton (Julie) Daugherty, both were in blue. The hostess wore a pale blue summer dress with a bolero and touches of white, and Mrs. Daugherty wore a navy blue pleated sheath with white stiletto-heeled sandals. Mrs: Yngve Christianson, been up from California for white frock banded in orange a matching orange - giving a Buffington wore an interesting summer cotton of peach sherbet color which perfectly accented her deep tan. The dress is cut low and the designer gave it an added fillip by putting a series of puffs from neckline to hem in back. Several women wore silk suits, among them Mrs. I. E. Schuler. -Mrs. Schuler, just back after spending more than a year, in Europe; principally shades of deep green. r Mrs. Philip Stansbury also wore white, her dress being a simple sheath worn with an interesting coat of Chinese style in brown, gold and deep green tones. Mrs. O. J. Halboth wore a frock of solid grey with artfully draped neckline set off with a white organdy rose. Two Ashland women wore that everlasting favorite, black and white. Mrs. Harry skirted black dress with lines of white made with a- low square neckline and the new large, puffed sleeves. Mrs. William Dawkins' dress was a black sheath with a design of white, and a white scarf-like drapery around the bodice top and down the side. Mrs. Dawkins, who follows high style in makeup as well as clothing, wore the new pale lipstick and green-blue eye makeup. The trick of wearing pale lipstick and heavy eye makeup spread to this country from Europe, where women first began the trend about three years ago. Winter or summer, many smartly-dressed women wear black, and several of the Carpenters' feminine guests had on black frocks Monday. Mrs. E. A. Littrell wore a black sheath with rhinestone clips on the neck,' and Mrs. Frank Fairweather's unusual gown was of crocheted black straw. .!', .. ' Sometimes the men have trouble deciding what to wear, too. One man complained that he had put on a white dinner jacket only to have his wife decide that he should -wear a sports jacket instead. Of . course, he had said "I told you so" -when they arrived at the clubhouse to find that several men were wearing the white jackets. Pappy didn't have any trouble deciding what to wear he's the sort of person who just makes up his mind and then doesn't change it. But we might add, with all due inouesty. uiai w was someuuuK oi a minor sensation ax I . A. 1 the party. It wasn't caused by his ice cream trousers or sports jacket, either. It was his Centennial whiskers and hair cut. Pappy, grew himself a mustache and a goatee and hasn't had a hair cut in weeks; it hangs around his collar in a blonde fluff V ' ' " Some guests thought at first that he was part of the Shakespearean festival cast, some thought he looked like Buffalo Bill or Wild Bill Hickock. The hostess decided he looked like a Civil War officer and Mrs. S. M. Tuttle.said he greatly resembled a photograph of General Custer "vhich is among her family possessions. One friend said "somehow he doesn't look as if he had just grown a beard for the Centennial; he looks like a man out of the past."-O.S. V Son Here i Larry W.

Neuberger (D., Ore.) said today that he enjoys his home in Portland, Ore., "so much it is still a question in my mind if I will run again for the Senate." Mrs. Neuberger said she could well understand her husband's question after run ning for re-election, which he would have to do next year, because "it is true, he loves that home in Portland so well I can just see him blossom when he is there." In Washington, the Senator and Mrs. Neuberger live in a cooperative apartment. They told the National Association of Home Builders that the two types of Tesidences set quite different patterns of living. Their Oregon home is a big, three-story, square building on top of a hill, with a view Vegetables And Fruits Good Buys (The following guide to the nation's best food buys for the weak,. ending Aug. 8 was prepared for Unit ed Press International by the U. S. Departments of Agriculture and Interior.) i. Washington - (DPI) Mid summer fruits and vegetables provide good buys , for the week end shopping list. In best 'supply are . peaches, beans, corn and tomatoes.' . Food shoppers will also find plentiful supplies of car rots, celery, cucumbers, cal bage, lettuce, onions, squash, peppers, and potatoes. Fresh fruits in abundance this week incllude apples, cantaloupe, watermelon, bart- lett pears, plums, grapes, lem ons, and oranges. High-protein foods on. the good buy list nationally fea ture fresh and smoked pork, including hams, bacon, and picnics. Small turkeys, broil ers and fryers aid eggs all continue in plentiful-supply. At fish counters, , best buys will be seen in shrimp, canned tuna, and fish sticks. Here's the foodsituation in the West: Beef, pork, and a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables are declining in price in many Pacific Coast markets, and are likely to provide consum ers with the most , attractive buys this week. Pork is in plentiful . supply, and prices on many cuts are lower this week. In the Northwest and San Francisco area, beef cuts are mostly lower. Lamb is in good supply, and some prices are slightly lower. " Egg supplies are ample, with prices mostly unchanged from a week ago in the Northwest, and slightly high er in price in some markets. Fresh fruits and vegetables in plentiful supply and slight ly lower in price are apples, Thompson seedess and car dinal grapes, peaches, plums, watermelons, corn, cauli flower, and tomatoes. Also plentiful are casaba and hon- eydew melons, carrots, cu cumbers, lettuce, dry onions, soft squash and peppers. In good supply are avoca dos, b e r r i e s, , cantaloups, grapefruit, lemons, oranges, beans, cabbage, celery and potatoes. ' Best buys in fish include salmon, flounder, halibut and rock fish. of Portland and Mt. Hood. It is an old building and the Sepator said, "we thought it an ugly one until we saw the interior." The Neubergers delight in entertaining and do a sreat deal of it when they are in Portland. It is nothing for Mrs Neuberger to have 14, 16, or 18 for dinner. "We always en tertain informally." Mrs. Neu berger said, "but we like hav ing guests sit around the din ing room table we find we can have good, general con versation when people are seated at a table." Does Own Work . Although former occupants had a cook and two maids to run what is now the Neuber- ger's Portland home, Mrs Neuberger does all the house work and cooking herseK. A big freezer makes her tasks easier, she said, and she usu tlly serves a casserole dish, a salad, basket of hot breads, ice cream with Oregon fruit syr up, and lots of extra coffee. The Senators said that in Washington, they do virtually no entertaining. But Neuber ger, who licked cancer about a year ago, recently received further cheering news from a man they did invite to dinner in their apartment. This was the Senator's physician, who said that anyone with as hearty-appetite as the Senator had just demonstrated, could have nothing wrong with him. Mrs. Neuberger said that'it seems as if they have more Congressional guests at their table when they are home in Portland than they do in Washington. "Here," she pointed out, "everyone is so busy. But at home we have had the entire Senate interior committee and 'staff members to dinner." The Senator is a member of the committee. Many Books One of the reasons the Neu bergers like their Portland home so well . is that it has plenty of space for his many books, which would overrun a small place. There are walls of books downstairs, where there is a living room, televi-sion-ahd-bridge room, . a li brary and dining room, as well as upstairs, which in eludes a sitting room, study and glassed-in porch. The third floor provides extra bedrooms and storage room the Neubergers call their "ar chives." The house also has a basement. ; Their Washington apart ment consists of a living room with dining area, kitchen' and two bedrooms each with bath. Mrs. Neuberger has furnished it with second-hand, furniture and "odds and ends from home, like the dishes I hated so much I hoped they would break in moving but none did." Their apartment had no bookcase, when they moved in. One window at the end of the living room overlooked a garage driveway and did not present a particularly interest ing view. Mrs. Neuberger turned the window into a bookcase and visitors think the arrangement has "made" the room.' " The Neubergers, who do not care for big receptions, gen erally do not accept social in vitations during the week. The Senator, a book and magazine author, likes to spend his. eve nings writing, which he does easily. They try to restrict their party-going to week-ends when they also work in hiking and canoeirg. In Portland, the Senator does the lawn mowing. His mother wanted to buy him a power mower for Christmas last year but he scorned the i ja because he likes the ex ercise of pushing the mower himself. , , ' V . . . Home Decorating Has New Look in Netting : New York -(UPD -Fish nets catch a new look in home decorating. ; The home economics bu reau of a dye and tint manu facturing firm suggests us ing inexpensive fish nets as room dividers, glass curtains, tablecloths, and bedspreads. As dividers, the nets can serve as trellises for ivy. For the table, spreic". a green net over a -pale pink cloth and add a pink candle in a hurri-' cane lamp. A n:t spread, over a summer coverlet gives a nautical touch to a boy's room or summer cottage. The nets can be washed and dyed in the washing ma chine, require no ironing and give a light, airy effect. Beans With Cheese . Add an interesting vege table treatment to your din ner menu for variety. Heat a can of blue lake green beans, drain and season with saltk pepper and . chopped canned green chili. Toss light ly with a good handful of grated American cheese, cov er - and let stand a minute, until cheese melts. Perks up a meat loaf dinner nicely. Senator Richard Neuberger, in an interview in Washing ion, D.C., said they enjoy their home in Portland - so much that it may influence the sen ator's decision to run for an other ter n. The Neuberger's home in Portland is large, old and comfortable, according to their description.

Tamara assured American ladies and gentlemen that her fall collection will include not just a few, but some 30 of the new short fashions. "Of course," she said, "only the young will he able to wear my new short styles." But the attractive designer banked on her "young and young at heart" customers to ; pay be tween $100 and $300 to num ber among the smart set this fall. :. - ? , And -her dresses, as St. Laurent's, will be short-measuring a brief 26 inches from waistline to hem with a-resulting two -inch above -the -kneecap hemline. Tamara obviously wasn't confining herself to "shor ties" when she planned her fall line. The styles, her first as an independent designer, include debutante dresses, bridal and opera gowns, and other special occasion dresses. Double' Uncovering "I think that's what St. Laurent of Dior was doing in his collection. He must be just as sick and tired of covering up women as I am," she said smiling. "Women think that knee caps are ugly, but men don't -quite the contrary," said Tamara whose own limbs are capable of attracting admiring glances. Here is a double uncover ing thought. Hems go up and bodices go down. "In my new collection I created a bare-top look for evening which shows off wom an's most underestimated charm-her arms." Her "shor ties," stripped off trimmings and unnecessary detailing, have brief bodices and are predominantly strapless. The skirts, she explained, were shortened to balance the bare top with the -. natural waistline. ' Learn From Past "I've tried to design with 1902's detailing and an early 1900's silhouette," the petite designer said. She created her line after weeks of studying period theatrical costumes in southern California Most' women's answer to the question "How ,do you stand on the short styles?" is a frantie-"How do I stand?- How do I sit? and Children's $ 1 98 U "Infant's and Children's rlll i 0! s3 Uncovering Tamara's answer counted on her fuller skirts to allow women to retain their dignity while sitting. ; "Some women just know how to sit gracefully natur ally. If a woman eases into her Chair, she. will have no trouble," she said. When asked if she thought that all faShion - conscious women will be busy with' the hemming needle this fall, the petite young designer predict ed an "if the shoe fits" philos ophy this-season. "American women will wear their skirts at their most becoming length," Tamara said. "College girls and young marrieds will probably snap up the new. trend," she added, "but a woman knows what's best for her." . . Art Show Opening In Grants Pass. Grants Pass .
