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

then doesn't change it. But we might add, with all due

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

Senator Neuberger Says
He Loves Portland Home
By ROSE McKEE
Washington Sen. Richard
L. 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. , ,

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.

BABY U
Hems Up, Bodices Down,
New Double
By MARY ANN CLINTON
United Press International
San Francisco-(DPD-The edict
from the House of Dior in
Paris that hems will go up,
up and over the .kneecap was
echoed here today by designer
Tamara Yohanan.
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?

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." . .
