Mrs. Pope is a guest of her son-in-law and daugh ter, Mr. and Mrs. Ray Britton, Central Point. Guests in addition to Mrs Pope and Mrs. Britton were Mrs. Madeline Muller, Mrs. Ted Hill, Mrs. Royal Green man and Mrs. Charles Hughes. For the table centerpiece, Mrs. Minnick had transplant ed a miniature bed of violets into a large flat container. The guests commented on the pleasing effect of seeing the various stages of development of the tiny bud to the full blown violet in he natural setting of the leaves. The hostess answered that anyone who had picked enough vio lets for decorating purposes would appreciate the ease with which the whole plants can be fashioned into arrange ments. In the afternoon, at the request of the guests, Mrs. Minnick got out her family heirloom dishes and set them out on the table where they could be more fully appre ciated. Some of her dishes are more than 250 years old. She has many pieces of china which were made in England in 1750. One set of a large size covered butter dish, sugar and creamer are 175 years old. They are of luster ware and are in amethyst with gold-red blended coloring. An other luster ware piece is a pedestal type compote dish in green with amethyst and gold blending. A very old and elaborately cut glass vinegar cruet and a tall cake plate were among the many pieces. Even the stopper of the cruet was cut with a wheel design. Shower in Hornbrook Honors Mother, Son Hornbrook - Mrs. Glen Shinar and her infant son, Glen Jr., were given a shower recently at the home of Mrs. Richard Kockaday. Co-hostesses with Mrs. Hockaday were Mrs. Al King and Mrs. George Smith. Guests were Mrs. Ronald Rhodes, Mrs. E. E. Fisher, Mrs. George Reese, Mrs. Ralph Chadwick, Mrs. Ralph Bennett, Mrs. Ardon Burns, Mrs. Ben Phillips, Mrs. Tom Watt, Mrs. Ernie Pick ard, and Mrs. Henley Claw-son. If you're one of those American women trying to scale your figure down, take heart. Maybe you aren't having any great success, but American women as a whole are succeed ing in becoming smaller. The Statistical Bureau of the Met ropolitan Life Insurance company says so, and a number of representatives of stores and clothing factories in New York City agree. Spurred by the report of the insurance company,. Joan Cook of the New York Times made a survey. She found that stores formerly doing a steady business in sizes 16 and 18 are now stocking smaller sizes; junior departments show the same trend. A buyer for Bergdorf Goodman's Miss Berg dorf department now stocks the new size 3 in the misses range, and is about to discard the size 16 line entirely. "When it comes to markdowns at the end of the season, we find they are mostly 16," said Miss Marianne Charlier, the buyer. Janet Sloane, a Madison avenue shop which carries only high-priced, custom-made clothing, reported that it is definitely selling three and four sizes smaller than in years past, the Times said. "Sixteen is a big size today," said Miss Sloane. "Our old customers have shrunk. In the last two days we have been visited by two customers of long-standing who always wore size 18. Now they are twelves." Twelve, says Miss Sloane, is her best-selling size. The report also quoted Diane Adler, a designer for George Carmel, a high fashion coat and suit house, who says the report holds true for all the United States. Miss Adler said "When I first started designing in '39, sizes 16 and 18 were important. So was size 20. Gradually, over the years, the emphasis has shifted, and the larger sizes are being dieted quietly out of existence as an important fashion factor. "The clothes-conscious woman today is equally figure conscious. For reasons of health, yoiithfulness and over-all appearance, she usually works at keeping her weight in check, her figure well under control," Miss Adler said. Car mel's best-selling sizes are 10 and 12. The newcomer size 3 makes the size picture even more confusing. Women's clothing now comes in misses sizes, women's sizes, petite sizes, junior petites, junior sizes and half sizes. According to Miss Cook's article, many American women are too small for a size 5 dress and are being forced to pay for expensive alterations, or for a dress maker. Junior Sophisticates, one firm which has added the new size 3, did so because "we found the stores always out of stock in size 5, and because three girls in our own showrooms were too small to wear a size 5." Miss Cook says most women find the many size groupings confusing and we heartily agree. We have one size 12 dress (how we manage to get zipped up remains a mystery) some fourteens, some sized 14Vfc and 15, one which the manufac turer called a "short 16" and some sized 16. The style, the price and the kind of material are factors determining what size will fit the editorial frame. And in spite of what we wrote higher up in this column, we've about given up hope of ever becoming a permanent size 12. Come to think of it. we don't really care whetner we take a size 16 or a size 12. Since this seems to be a clothes column, we'll pass along part of a conversation of a Medford man who travels through out Orgon, northern California and southern Washington. "Medford women," he said firmly, "are the worst dressed women l see in my travels, l visit .K.iamatn .tans, saiem. Eugene, Portland, Vancouver and many other cities and towns. The women I see on the streets and in the restaurants of those cities look better than the women I see down town here at home. What's the matter with Medford women, anyhow?" We've orgotten the man's name and we're pretty sure he doesn't sell women's clothing. We do remember that he was the only man in a group of five or six women. And they rather agreed with him. Monday at the Beta Sigma Phi style show Potpourri asked Mrs. Margery Green, buyer for Burelson's, if she thought the man was right. Mrs. Green pondered a bit and said that women of Klamath Falls tend to be "dressier" than women Medford, but she didn't know about the rest of the cities. Mrs. Green did say that as she goes about the business of staging style shows, she finds that fewer and fewer women seem to have white gloves in their wardrobes, and that quite a few seem to be unsure of what colors and styles are suitable for their complexion and figures. Mrs. Vee Halgren, cosmetic expert for Burelson's, who had worked since early morning on "making up the models, put in a good word for the eyes. Mrs. Halgren is enthusiastic about the trend to use more eye make-up and said that when it is correctly applied, it can do wonders for a woman's ap pearance. We know one model she convinced. She went down town after the show and invested in some which she plans to begin using, in very small quantities, in order not to startle her husband and friends. O.S. Annual Dinner Given By CFG Rogue council of Camp Fire Girls recently held the annual dad-daughter dinner for Camp Fire Girls and their fathers. Over 100 people attended the Mr. and Mrs. William J. Bourasa are visiting at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Leo King. The Bouraras are en route to their home in Spokane, Wash., after a leisurely vacation trip which has taken them as far south as the Mexican border. It's Psychological New York (CPU The col or of paint has a psycholog ical affect, says the National Paint, Varnish and Lacquer Association. Violent mental patients be come more docile when walls of their rooms are painted blue. Red walls cheer severe cases of depression. And in a factory, when walls are paint ed light blue, the workers complained it was too chilly. It was necessary to raise the thermostat, even though the temperature was the same as before the walls were painted. Missionaries Pay Visit to Medford Mr. and Mrs. Floyd David son and Miss Barbara Logan, missionaries on the Salt River and McDowell Indian reserva tions in Arizona, were guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Santo, 204 Lozier lane February 22.
