MAIL TRIBUNI, MeeferJ, Of. I lundir. AM U. 160 mm Medford women don't stage an Easter Sunday parade, like New York City, but there i always the Easter Monday luncheon. At this annual party given by St. Anne's Altar society, women wear their new spring hats and other finery and the event Is in the nature of a fashion show. This year the co-chairmen, Mrs. Vincent Nicoletti and Mrs. W. F. Cownlng, were in the main entrance to greet guests as they arrived and both might have been dressed to walk down the runway at a fashion show. Tall Mrs. Cown ing wore a black ensemble with a large hat of shiny straw and a necklace of large pearl beads. Mrs. Nicoletti wore a knitted dress of palest beige with a brown fur stole and a straw hat trimmed with a rosette of tulle on the front. Mrs. Nicoletti said she was winning an unofficial bet with her husband by wearing the hat to the luncheon. Mr. N. regarded the hat with something less than enthusiasm and even went so far as to say she probably would lose her nerve at the last minute and wear something less spectacu lar to the party. Mrs. Nicoletti needn't have worried. At least a dozen of her women friends praised her at the party for her taste in hats, and others called the next day. Mrs. Nicoletti and Mrs. Cowning not only know how to choose and wear smart clothlng-they know how to manage a benefit party. This was the fourth time Mrs. Nicoletti had acted as a general chairman for the Easter Monday lunch eon, and the second time for Mrs. Cowning. There were many other fashionable suits, dresses and hats at the luncheon. Mrs. Robert Taylor topped her black dress with a chic blue flowered hat of unusual design. Mrs Oscar J. Halboth wore a short fur coat with her dark dress and dark straw hat and Mrs. Robert Elliott chose a checked suit and small, dark pillbox hat. One of Medford's milliners said the other day that milady can have her pick of hats this spring-she may choose one which is huge or tiny, it may swoop upward or downward, be of feathers, straw, flowers, lace or pouffs of tulle. The society editor usually chooses sober creations with almost no trim but one of these springs we're going to go giddy and buy a hat with pink red roses or big yellow daisies or something else really exciting. As a matter of fact we tried on one or two this year, but then we turned prac tical and went home and got out last year's conservative black straw. However, come hot weather and the time when the top goes down on Doll T., we're going to be forced to dream up something In the way of headgear which will keep hair tid ily in place and at the same time, shade our eyes. Those women who wore sailor hats tied down with long veils, back In the good old days, may have had the right answer for motoring problems. Mrs. Kathryn Diepenbrock, former Medford piano teach er who now lives in Fresno. Calif., recently celebrated her 80th birthday. Relatives of the musician gave a party in her honor at the lodge in Yosemlte valley. Among the guests was Mrs. Diepenbrock's niece, Mrs. Brlgitte Hansen-Schmldt from Stockholm, Sweden, who was pending some time in this country. Mrs. Hansen-Schmldt at one time attended Montclair Teachers' college in New Jersey as an exchange student from Berlin university. She is now librarian at the Bureau of Statistics in Stock holm, and according to her aunt, saved her money for years In order to be able to return to the U.S. for a visit. The trav eler made the trip here on a freighter, coming through the Panama canal, and then, for contrast, returned by Jet plane. McGraw Hill's "Briefs" recently had this little note: Uncle Sam Is probably amassing the world's largest collec tion of trading stamps after ordering Its drivers to turn them in whenever they come with gasoline bought on government credit. The General Services administration Is negotiating for cash refunds from stamp companies, but one problem remains. Who's going to lick and enter the stamps in books? O.S.

Film Shown "The Other City," a film produced by the American Cancer Society, was shown in Gold Hill recently by Mrs. Harry Howard, of the Jackson County unit of the American Cancer Society, Medford.
