Both are in' business to make money and the Paris dressmakers admit it just as readily as do the merchants in Detroit. But in both cases, it's the basic design and the quality - not the gimmicks - that bring the customers back. There are good and bad dressmakers - even in the world's fashion capital. But both good and bad use gimmicks to get their names across to the public. The best- known gimmick is drastically changing the skirt length for longer or for shorter. But there are others flattened or exaggerated busts or hips, waists that are bosom -high or hip-low. , Change Is The Secret Another pressure to which all dressmakers are prone is that of U. S. Dressmaking Headquarters, Seventh ave nue. They know that Ihe hun dreds of American " buyers come to Paris to see clothes that are different, because change is the secret of doing business, whether the busi ness involves cars or drosses. But critics who dismiss the high fashion business as frivo lous and flossy forget several very important things: - -That the Paris dressmak ers, many of whom are wom en and therefore never could be tabbed effeminate, have done as much to enhance the female form as to distort. They were responsible for liberating women from cor sets, shortening skirts back in the twenties and giving them the bikini bathing suit. -That any fashion "gim micks" they come up with must pass the scrutiny of the world press and hard - bitten buyers before the innovations are copied down to retail prices for American women. Americans Have Own Minds -That American women, who have minds of their own barely blindly follow the dic tates of Paris. -That high fashion as a whole cannot be condemned as "frivolous" business when more than 20 thousand people in France depend on it for their livelihood and American buyers pay the equivalent of 1,000 dollars as assurance against piracy to see it shown. The influx of American buyers, particularly since the war, has been so tremendous that many of the fashion houses chalk off the expense of their collections against their sales to the buyers. .The buyer, who sees at WOMEN'S COTTON Sweaters $277 Medford's Bargain Corner ; f , Jfc;--few, I least five or six collections of more than 100 models each, has to choose a "winner," that is a dress that can be copied down to retail prices and that will sell. He is looking for something adaptable to American tastes. In the case of the controvers ial sack he chose a number which was hard to attractive ly copy down to retail prices because of its subtle cut. Will Modify Short Skirts You can be sure that he will modify the dramatic above the knee skirts shown this season by Dior because he knows that American women will not wear them that short. What t the buyer hopes for is a "Ford"-a model that will sell again and again. But a "Ford" by Seventh avenue standards is something less dramatie than it is by Detroit ones. . One Paris dress is said to have set a record by selling 22,000 times at retail prices in the United States. This is small by comparison to automobile sales. Talking Rummage7 Sale Held by ToastmistressClub A Talking Rummage Sale" was the theme of the regular meeting of t h e Medford Toastmistress club which was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Thatcher, 210 Beat ty street, August 12. The idea was the discard ing of old bad habits so that new and better techniques can be used. Mrs. Bernice Kunsman as topic mistress offered for rummage .such articles as worn out cliches, dangling prepositions, redundancy in speaking by use of too many adjectives and adverbs, de flated programs, split infini tives and poor diction. Speakers-bid on the articles by of fering solutions. Mrs. Ellen Lynner, lexicol ogist, brought a bright jewel for rummage to present her chosen word. Dinner Honors Gold Hill Couple On Anniversary Gold Hill-Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Kelley, Blackwell hill, cel ebrated their fifty-sixth wed ding anniversary at a family dinner given in their honor August 1 at the home of their granddaughter and her fam ily, Mr. and Mrs. Ronald R. Kalista and sons, Bill and De Wayne in Gold Hill. Others attending were Ralph Kelley and Mr. and Mrs. Allen Reed, Blackwell hill. Mr. and Mrs. Kelley were married August 1, 1903, in Omaha, Neb. He is a retired plasterer. They came to this area to live in 1942. Both are 75 years old, and like to fish in the Rogue river and the nearby lakes in southern Ore gon. The couple are the parents of five children, Lawrence A. Kelley, Omaha, Neb.; E. W. Kelley, Central Point; Mrs. Bob Bush, Trail, who were unable to be present for the dinner, and Mrs. Reed and Ralph Kelley who were pres ent for the occasion. . State Supervisor To Be Honored ' Mrs. Virginia Duvall, Van couver, Wash., state supervi sor of Royal Neighbors of America, will be honored at a meeting of Mistletoe camp Thursday, August 20, at 8 p.m. in the Pythian hall. All Royal Neighbors are invited to attend. Wednesday Meet 1 Roxy Ann Home Economics club will meet Wednesday, August 19, at 8 pjn. at the home of Mrs. Ray R. Offord Sr., 3054 Roberts road. Co hostess will be Mrs. Cecil R. Hall. president of the stale Oregon Denial auxil iary; Mrs. Lee Mellish. president of the Southern Oregon Dental auxiliary; and Mrs. N. T. Capsey. chairman of women events during the meeting here. But the competition is just as rough. Before the buyers go in to pick the winners the world press, has already ' briefed American women on what to expect. Theyf in turn, already have a pre - determined idea of what they - will and will not buy. One thing that baffles people in the dress business here is r why the American woman is pictured as a lamb going to the sartorial slaught er at the time of the bi-annual showings. They contend that she is independent enough of mind to pick her own style without blindly follpwing Paris dic tates. Some of the American men who foot the bills dispute this. They claim that the Paris dressmakers and American buyers contrive to force their wives to change their dress styles twice a year. There is something to be said for both sides. But are American women any more prone to changes in fashions than their husbands are to changes in the style of cars. Mrs. C. H. Redmond, toast mistress for the evening, in troduced Mrs. Thatcher who spoke humorously on the trials and tribulations of se lecting, and developing a sub ject for a speech. Miss Anna Streed gave an education talk in a serious vein on the same subject. , General evaluator for the program was Mrs. Arnold Bohnert. The garden of the Thatcher home was the setting for the potluck dinner which preced ed the meeting, with the hus bands of the members attend ing. Other guests were Mr. and Mrs. R. S. Chandler and Mrs. Amy True. The area meeting of south ern Oregon and northern Cal ifornia will meet at Rogue River Lodge August 22.

Beef just naturally is every one's first choice for cooking on the outdoor grill. However, the economical chuck some times has been overlooked in favor of steaks and ground beef. There are special tricks in barbecuing the chuck cuts. Start, first, of course, with quality beef. For best results, let the meat stand overnight in a flavorful sauce. When the coals beneath the grill are just right, barbecue the beef chuck to just the degree of doneness you and your family prefer, approximately 30 to 40 minutes total time, depending on the thickness of cut and prefer PHOENIX ms 1 Family Reunion Held By LILLIAN KNIGHT Phoenix Preston Turpin attended a reunion of the Tur pin family at the Drain Com munity hall in Drain last Sun day.
