Last Saturday , night the society editor put on her black satin suit and best white gloves and chauffeured the Countess, (she counts money for the Tribune) up to the Country club for the Junior Service league's dinner and style show. The Countess, who is queenly in stature, was somewhat doubtful about folding herself into Doll's litte bucket seat, and was agreeably surprised to discover that it was really quite simple. The two of us arrived a few minutes late only to find the dining room practically deserted. For a time we wondered if there really was going to be a" dinner and a show, but eventually there was. Why is it that when the society editor is on time, the function we're covering is late; when we are late, the party or meeting has started on time and we sneak in, feeling conspicuous. Years of newspapering, however, has taught us to make a habit of being on time. Come to think of it, mother started us on the straight and narrow long before we ever worked on a newspaper. For the first eight years of our schooling we were never tardy or absent from class. But back to the party. Since the dinner and show were a long time in starting, the Countess and society editor amused themselves by talking fashions and noting what other women were wearing. The Countess had on a blue and green print silk and Mrs. Raymond Reter also wore a silk print, her gown being of dark and light blue. Mrs. Scott Davis wore bright blue satin with a portrait collar and Mrs. Robert Dickey wore a pretty gown designed of two shades of grey. Mrs. Sam Richardson wore a black frock with a swishy skirt of chiffon very short and Mrs. B. D. Mitchell had on a black dress with the low neckline outlined in a white ruffle. There's usually a lot of enthusiastic applause for the girls and women who model at the League style shows particular ly for the prettier ones or those with dramatic personalities. And who earned the most applause Saturday? Mrs. Edwin R. Durno, mother of two league daughters and a grandmother who made a most gracious and . fashionable-appearing model. Our applause meter the society editor's ears decided that the two male models, Rodger Sterton and Jack Edson, tied for second. "You can't guess what I saw in the yard tonight" said Pappy when we arrievd home Wednesday night. "A rufous hummingbird." If you aren't interested in birds, just skip the next few sentences. But for the bird lovers this seems worth recording it was the first time a hummingbird had been seen around our garden this early in the season, and the first rufuos hummingbird; Pappy had never seen one before, and we still have this treat coming. The head of the household reported that the little bird sat still for quite some time, he carefully noted the coloring and then consulted Roger Peterson's book. There he found the bird, pictured in color and described as "upper parts bright red-brown, throat flame-red. "No other hummingbird has a rufous back." - A telephone call to the Rev. Thomas McCamant, one of the valley's better known "bird men", brought the informa tion that while the rufous hummingbirds are commonly seen in the Portland area, or on the Oregon coast as early as February, they are rare in this area. Adding that he could not remember having seen one in southern Oregon the min ister said, "A male rufous hummingbird is a really gorgeous sight." Women's News service reports that Mrs. S. G. Franklin of Sydney, Australia, has placed on exhibition her collection of 600 pencil sharpeners. One is shaped like a television set, one like a typewriter, one like a helicopter and one like an organ. Mrs. Franklin obviously a wise woman does not collect office-type sharpeners and when she wants to sharpen her own pencils, uses a razor blade. O.S.

By marrying a commoner, the princess gave up all rights lo royalty. The newlyweds have said they would like to take a delayed honeymoon to the United States if they can afford it. . . CXJPI Telephoto) Japanese Princess Marries Low Salaried Bank Clerk By ARNOLD DIBBLE United Press International Tokyo- (UPD -Princess Suga, youngest daughter of the em peror and a spunky champion of western-style rights for Jap anese womanhood, married a $8.30-a-week bank clerk to day in an ancient Shinto wed ding ritual that broke her ties to royalty. Shortly after the ceremony, Suga, 21, now plain Mrs. Hi sanaga Shimazu, announced she and her husband were con sidering a delayed honeymoon visit to the United States-provided they could afford it. The honeymoon had to be postponed since Shimazu, 29, could only manage to take a five day leave of absence from his job at Japan's export-import 'bank. Two days of that were spent preparing for the wedding. Thrilled crowds greeted the couple with shouts of "banzai" as they rode through the Niju bashi gates of the moated' Im perial Palace toward a new life together in a $11,500 west-esn-style home built for them by Emperor Hirohito and Em press Nagako. Suga was sharing her new home with her widowed mother-in-law, who also happens to be her aunt, just like Shi mazu is her first cousin, even though they are commoners. The bridegroom's father, a count who died during World War II, was a brother of Em press Nagako. With the Jap anese defeat, the family lost all titles and honors and most of its money. The marriage, which was witnessed only by the em peror and empress and 32 members of both families, took place in the stately Korni mansion, formerly the home of Suga's uncle, Prince Taka matsu but now a public en tertainment hall which can be rented to anyone with the money to pay for it. The 20-minute ritual pro ceeded according to centuries old Shinto tradition, with the bride and bridegroom solemn izing their union with nine sips of rice wine. The independent - minded Suga, who broke precedence in the first place by marry ing a man of her choosing rather than having a mate picked out for her, would have preferred to have worn a western-style dress. But as a final concession to her par ents, she donned the tradi tional robes of the imperial court - a kimono-like gown laced with a pattern of white parrots and plum blossoms against a violet background. Her hair was done in a "pig tail" effect. As soon as the ceremony was over with, she slipped into a beige cocktail dress that would have made eyes turn at any posh Manhattan night club. The couple, who had, been hounded incessantly by. the press on almost every date they had while they were "courting," held a- news con ference at the six-hour recep tion that followed the wed ding rites.' I "How does it feel to be married?" a reporter asked. ' "I don't feel like we're mar ried yet," the bridegroom re plied. "Maybe in a week." Suga was asked how she in tended to handle he husband's paycheck. She indicated she would let him take care of the finances. Suga's brother, Crown Prince Akihito, also married a commoner in a wildly cele brated marriage last April and only recently had his first child. According to Japanese law, however, Suga's wedding meant sacrificing all claims on royalty..

AH; Queen's Horses, Men Marshalled f or Wedding By MARGARET SAVILLE United Press International London-OJPD-All the Queen's horses and all the Queen's men were marshaled today to get Princess Margaret and An thony Armstrong-Jones to the church on time May 6. Members of the royal house hold had only 58 days to ar range details of the West minster Abbey wedding of the princess and the commoner. Jobs ranging from providing the horses for the gilded state coaches to writing an anthem for the occasion had to be handed out. Queen Elizabeth had 120 days between her wedding an nouncement and - the cere mony, "and her wedding to Prince Philip was less elabo rate because of postwar aus terity. Royal dress designer Norman Hartnell had eight weeks to do the sketches for Elizabeth's pearl- encrusted wedding gown. Rush Dress Designs Now, court sources said, Hartnell and his 24 aides have only two days to complete the designs for Margaret's dress. Queen Mother Elizabeth set the date Wednesday. Asked to explain the short notice, a Buckingham Palace spokes man said "that is the way the royal family wanted it." The Lord Chamberlain set up a Buckingham Palace com mand post, sending out orders to get the centuries-old coach es in shape and groom the matched Windsor gray horses. Scotland Yard mapped its traffic control plans and be gan checking the list of cranks who might disrupt the wedding. The ceremony promised to be the biggest attraction since the 1953 coronation, when 130,000 spectators slept on the i streets to get a place in line. Armstrong-Jones, a former society photographer, called in a corps of five Saville Row tailors to outfit him. Princess Margaret went; over her potential guest list to keep it within the limits of about 2,250. The final detail yet. to be settled was the selection of an official photographer for the ceremony. The royal pho tographer used to be Anthony Armstrong-Jones. Cheese and Eggs Cheese and eggs com pie ment each other in Cheese Baked Eggs - a meatless dish for Lent.
