3e MAIL TRIBUNE, MedfonJ, Or. WerJneky, Dec 30, 1959 8 Expensive Rocks Ornament Gardens in Island State ; By ROSE McKEE Washington - The new state V of Hawaii is taking a' new j look at its old rocks-and find- ing cash in them. V Mrs. Daniel K. Inouye, wile 1 of the 50th state's first Con- gressman, said that rocks are becoming popular garden dec orations and they are not ex- actly inexpensive. She said it is not unusual for a person to 2 pay $10 for a particular rock. Nurseries handle the rocks and gardeners vie with one another in finding artistic ones, she explained. Most peo ple favor the blackish lava rock. Those of this variety that are moss-covered are the most prized of all. The garden rocks vary in size from near coffee-table te , near sofa proportions, and their selection is a matter to i which buyers give time and 'study. ' : "People go out to the nurs '. rocks," Mrs. Inouye explained. "A salesman is apt to make such comments as, 'Now don't 'you think that rock has real .'character?'" Children Visit v At Simon Home - Spending the holidays at the home of the Rev. and Mrs. John E. Simon and small son, Tommy, 18 Vancouver avenue, are the Simons' daughter, ...Miss Helen Simon, and their sons, John M., and Bill. Miss Simon, a 1959 gradu ate of the University of Ore gon, is a music teacher in Yelm, Wash., schools. John is a student at Concordia col lege, Portland, and Bill is a student at Concordia high school, Portland.

FRAMED - New York - (CPD - Now it's easy to change your eyeglasses to match your clothes. Just '-switch the tops of a basic frame. The frame has an up--j - swept, removable aluminum top available m six colors red, pastel blue, jet, brown, pewter, and muted mink. She told the National Asso ciation of Home Builders that Hawaiian gardens, like the houses, tend increasingly to eries and sit and study the combine Oriental and Occi dental features. Use Stone Lanterns Japanese stone lanterns are used more and more in Hono lulu gardens, for instance, while shoji, Japanese sliding doors, are a feature of many of the new homes. She said the shoji are used frequently as room dividers. Both the Inouyes are of Ja panese ancestry but neither has been to Japan. The Con gressman, who lost an arm in World War II while serving with Hawaii's famed 442nd In fantry regiment, won the Dis tinguished Service Cross and 14 other citations. Mrs. Inouye, a chic, attrac tive woman with a ready smile, has given up a Univer sity of Hawaii teaching job so that she can be in Washing ton with her husband. She said that coming from such a distance, they will have to buy furniture and other household" effects for their liv ing quarters in Washington rather than ship things they already have. That, she indicated, will not be as difficult as another problem stemming, from the fact they are from Hawaii She explained that they will have to leave their two dogs, toy fox terriers, in Honolulu otherwise the dogs on return to the islands, would have to spend four months in quaran tine -and that, the Inouyes have decided, is too long a time. The unusually long quar antine requirement, she said, is a protection against intro duction of rabies in the islands and she can understand it In Honolulu, the Inouyes have a big lot and a ranch- type, rambler house on land that until about seven years ago was a chicken farm. Their garden has several decorative rocks which they chose with considerable care. Although life in Honolulu is quite different than it will be for them in Washington, the national capital is something of a second home to them. They -lived in Washington from 1950 to 1952 when In ouye was a law student at George Washington universi ty. Mrs. Inouye was a secre tary in the Navy department while her husband was a law student. She never dreamed, then, that she would be re turning someday as the wife of a member of Congress.

Phone SP 2-7113 FREE DELIVERY i By MARY PRIME United Press International New Yprk (DPD -Curves went in and out of style in the 1950s, but they'll stay a fix ture in the '60s when fashion orbits around sex and space. The past ' decade opened with slimmed - down versions of the full-blown skirt. The "siren sheath" appeared. waistlines were nipped in, and hemlines edged downward, dropping about an inch a sea son. In 1954, French designer Gabrielle Chanel came out of retirement and revived the casual cardigan suit. The ex treme pointed toe and skinny heel became high-fashion, and the pinch was on for the jest of the decade. The mid-50's saw the start of using mixed man-made and natural fibers for more prac tical clothes. The year 1957 went down as the year of the most revolu tionary fashion-the chemise. Women first were shocked by the Paris decree of no bust-no waist, but by the spring of 1958, the sack was a uniform for women in the lower age and income brackets, at .least. Chemise In With the chemise, hemlines went up . . . and up . . . some times to lB'.i inches from the floor. - Young Yves St. Laurent, successor to .Christian Dior who died in 1957, launched the pyramid-shaped trapezfr in Paris. But by. fall, 1958, the chem ise and trapeze were dead, and a modified Empire line took over. , . Hems, however, stayed high, and in 1959, St. Laurent again set the fashion world buzzing with his hobble skirt which reached mid- or above-knee. The Paris house of Nina Ricci showed long, slim suit jackets and touched off a trend to man-tailored fashions and the Garbo look. . The decade ended on nor mal note the easy-fit suit, moderately short skirts, shirt waist dresses, and curves in the right places. What of the 1960's? Look for three main trends which turned up in a United Press International poll of Ameri can and French designers the sexy sheath, space-inspired spheres, and the Cha nel-type loose look considered too practical and comfortable to abandon. Moon Travel Designs Paris designers will be ready when women want "something ethereal" for tra vel to the moon, they said, but the normal or close-to-nor mal hipline and bustline will be with us "as long as wom en are," they added. However, New York design er Ceil Chapman predicted that space will be the opera tive word" for fashion, and clothes will take the shape of rockets, bubbles and spheres. Richard Cole, a dress manu facturer, forecast more pack aged fashions, such as no-size knit dresses. New fabrics, linings, and processes are expected. More year-round light-weight 'fab rics are due because of travel and controlled heating. De signer Adele Simpson predict ed that clothes will be layered, for peeling off or adding on, to suit the climate. Here's a head-to-toe look at I the shape to come: . . Hats To Come Hats Sailors, berets worn on the back of the head, and high-crowned turbans, toques, pill boxes, and bell cloches. More real furs, plus synthetic furs, straws and jpellophane like materials. Designs will be extreme, but not monstro sities that everyone laughs at, said Bill Riemer, executive New York Curves went in and out of style in the 'SO's, but they'll stay with us in the 1960's if fashion re volve around sex and space, as forecast. The slinky sheath (left) for after dark and the relaxed Chanel look for day time are expected to hold their own through the next decade. Space travel will influence fashion.

Silhouettes Variations on the sheath; a plastered, fitted look defining all n a t u r a 1 curves, amendments . to the loose Chanel look,- a softer look for at least five years, and cone and bubble shapes. ' Sleeves will be wider, neck lines lower and more open, skirts both full and slim. Hip lines will be rounded, and waistlines will range from nor mal to slightly lower.: The length of hems will not change drastically. Dresses Look for one-piece dresses, costumes with hipbone-length jackets, and coat dresses with soft, full skirts, belted waists, and widened sleeves. Suits Easy Suits Easy-fit and fitted types with longer jackets, belts, and slim skirts. The Chanel influence will con continue. , - Coats White and dark tweeds will be equally fash ionable. There will be a va riety of silhouettes: wide, cape-types with short sleeves and deep armholes; fitted coats, especially in silk; and straight, loose styles with three-quarter sleeves and col larless necklines. Reversibles will be more important. Sportswear More coordi nates and a greater trend to pants and shorts of all lengths. Two-piece bathing suits. Dulled, off-beat tones, lots of denim, seersucker, ginghams, light-weight synthetics, dark batiks. The Chanel look will carry over into 1960, the cropped classic cardigan will continue well into the decade, and tunic-1 e n g t h sweaters will grow in popularity. . Bikini Influence Lingerie and sleepwear Bikini underwear and short pajamas, and bed-to-breakfast aprons, jumpers and pina Furs Look for full cuts, with the fullness either dis tributed evenly so the effect is slim or sweeping out in cape and- tent shapes. Also watch for peg-tapered coats. Hosiery No limit, on tex tures. In 1960, textures will range from opaque for casual wear to sheer, glittering me tallics for evening. More pas tels for spring; deeper browns, greys, and off-blacks for falL Shoes Pointed toes will re main, especially , ior alter- i dark, said the National Shoei Institute. New toe shapes will include the flattened oval for walking and nipped-off and flattened squares. All shoes will remain tapered, however. Heels will be; all heights and shapes and as, thin as ever. In some cases, thinner just a spike for evening. "They'll be, comfortable, except on the pocketbook," the Institute said. The Rogue Sis-Q Council of square dance clubs is spon soring a New Years Eve dance Thursday, Dec. 31. This is a combined dance of all clubs and callers and will be held at the old Camp Corral at Camp White. The hall has been closed for some time but was once a popular place for square dancers.

Matthew Jaksch was robbed of the relics as he was about to return them to a bank. Police said the bandits probably" thought they were getting money.

One Hurdle But there is one hurdle, be fore all you Janes head for the staee door with man traps. Bikel 6ets pretty steep standards for the girl who catches him. "What does one look for in a woman?" said Bikel in an interview at his bachelor apartment. "Well, the impos sible of course. It is ridiculous to expect perfection, but un less one dreams high, one may reach lower." "Of course, when she catch es me, she just may have bow legs. How does one Know what determines love?" "But if you asked me to define the ideal woman," he continued, "I would refer to a Chinese proverb ... if you can print it. Freely translated, it says she should be a hostess in the living room, a domestic in the kitchen, a lady in pub lic, and a mistress in the bed room." ' ' Bikel - born in Vienna but now a British subject - began his acting career in a Sir Laurence Olivier production in London of "A Streetcar Named Desire." In movies, he has played character rattier than leading man roles and has been any age from 20 to 85. For his current stage ap pearance, he is an Austrian baron and widower with sev en children, his dark hair has been grayed considerably.

I under stand I sit in the same chair which Marilyn Monroe uses when she is in the shop. "A few bleached streaks, and by the time I am under the lights on stage, I look a gray-haired man of 50." Bikel said that performance is more important to him than the impression he makes on the ladies "I want to act, I Calendar Puis End To Silly Questions Trinity, Tex. - Robert D.
