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.
FRUITED COFFEE CAKE
Chicago - (UPD - For tea time
or a coffee break, make fruit
ed coffee cake from packaged
mix. Prepare in plastic bag ac
cording to label directions,
but substitute Vi cup of pine
apple - orange juice for the
milk called for on the box.
Add to packaged topping 3
tablespoons of finely chopped
nuts and V4 teaspoon of grat
ed orange rind. Spread top
ping over batter and bake.
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.

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. (UPI Telephoto)
director of the Millinery In
stitute of America. ' .
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

RELICS STOLEN -Two relics said to have come from the
cross on which Christ died and worth $90,000 were taken by
two bandits from a descendant of Austrian nobility at Jer
sey City, N.J., Tuesday. 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. The
items, in a manila envelope, included a medallion, left, said
to contain a piece of thorn from the crown worn by Christ,
and a splinter of the cross, right, on which He was. crucified.

Sometimes it's harder to think of an interesting luncheon dish
than it if to plan a complete dinner menu. If you've' run out of
ideas, you might like to try Cauliflower Copenhagen, a combination
of cauliflower, poached eggs, chopped ham and a creamy curry
sauce. With a package of quick-frozen cauliflower in the freezer
and eggs in the refrigerator, if s a dish that's simple to make, yet
special enough for company. (If there's so ham in the house, the
recipe is still good without it)
Cauliflower Copenliegesi
1 package (10 ounces) Birds 4 teaspoon salt
Eye cauliflower 1 cup light cream
1 tablespoon bntter 4 eggs, poached
2 tablespoons flour 4 toast squares
1 teaspoon carry powder V4 cup chopped cooked ham

spoon liquid.

. Bikel plays opposite Mary
Martin in "The Sound of
Music," which opened recent
ly with the largest advance
ticket sale in Broadway the
atrical history, and in which
he is assured employment for
at least two years. Plus, as
sorted other incomes an
established screen career, his
own radio program of folk
music, his recordings, and a
book soon to be puUshed on
the history of' folk tunes.
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.
Bleached Every Three Weeks
"Actually," h e confessed
wryly, "it's bleached. "Every
three weeks I go up to Lilly
Dache's and they put this goo
on a few strands. 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.
Brown, operator of a local
diner, says he wins customers
by confusing them.
Brown has a "reverse calen
dar." The weeks start on Sat
urday. For instance, his cal
endar showed the opening day
December to be Saturday, the
fifth; the second day, Friday,
the fourth, etc.
"I used to have a conven
tional calendar," Brown ex
plained. "But customers
would come in and say, 'What
day is it?' With a calendar in
front of them, this was a silly
question. So I put up a' silly
calendar to make their ques
tions sensible."
HgtiCosf of Living

Seattle - The high cost of
living has hit the coffee break

"You know," he added, "af
ter a Town Hall concert re
cently, there were notes back

"But no matter how many
females flock to the stage
