All Rainbow assemblies are
sponsored by members of the
Ancient Free and Accepted
Order of Masons and the Or
der of Eastern Star, the lodge
states.
Girls wishing to become
members must be recommend
ed by a Mason or an Eastern
Star member. Many who join
are children of Masons or
Stars, but the doors of the Or
der are open to friends of
members, even though they
may have no Masonic relation
ship. This is one of the main
points of difference between
the Order of Rainbow and the
International Order of Job's
Daughters, it is stressed. '
Girls and parents interested
in the charter chapter being
started in Jacksonville are
asked to contact the mother
advisor, Mrs. C. A. Young, or
the chairman of the board,
Gail P. Buffington. Anyone in
terested is invited to attend
an open board meeting set for
Wednesday, July 6, at 7:30
p.m. at the Masonic hall in
Jacksonville.
The advisory b o a r ds for
Rainbow Assemblies are made
up of 9 or 10 men and women,
members of a Masonic lodge
or Order of Eastern Star chap
ter. The board selects a moth
er advisor to work directly
with the girls and who attends
all Rainbow functions.
Founder of the Order of
Rainbow Girls was the Rev.
Mark Scxson, a Mason who
held high rank. The idea of
the rainbow symbol was tak
en from old Masonic charters
in which the rainbow symbol
ized fraternal life.
Rainbow ideals embody a
belief in the existence of a
supreme being, acceptance of
the truths of the Bible, a striv
ing to achieve dignity of char
acter, and an appreciation of
the higher things of life. The
order promotes leadership,
church membership, patriot
ism, cooperation with equals,
love of home and stresses serv
icp to humanity, it is stated.
it is also stressed by those
promoting tile group here that
"Rainbow has its serious side,
but It Is no long-faced order."
It is full of life, color and
youthful gaiety. Rainbow as
semblies have parties, dances,
picnics and other social gath
erings to which the girls may
invite boys and young men.

Social Events
mm
"I wrote until my ngers were numb. Now I appreciate
what society writers go through with" said Mrs. H. S. Ingle
sympathetically to Potpourri last Saturday morning. Mrs
Ingle and Potpourri were adding, by telephone, a few de
tails which she had left out of her daughter's wedding ques
tionnaire, even though she
were numb.
Mrs. Ingle's sympathy was
stories, particularly stories of large weddings with many
details, are one of the hardest chores for the society gals.
We try to take etxra care, too, for the families (and the
writers) are very unhappy when anything goes wrong. And
there were about a dozen long
since this is June, and the
popular time for tying the nuptial knot.
In fact, so long were the wedding stories, and so thick
the pile of other material that Saturday came and went
without Pal Peg and Potpourri finishing everything. And
Potpourri didn't even get time to assemble her thoughts,
let alone write a column.
JWF of the East Oregonian, Pendleton, recently took
typewriter in hand and wrote about weddings. JWF said that
among all the news he had written, none was as difficult
as the social news. JWF said he had complained for years
about the way weddings were written and published, but he
quit complaining after writing a few himself. "We learned
the hard way that there are not several different ways to
tell the story of a wedding. The reason is so obvious that
we were embarrassed for not having thought of it. The
reason is that almost all weddings are alike. The procedures
vary a little according to the locale church, justice of the
peace office, in a garden or at

it is very difficult. What seems unimportant to the writer
may turn out to be a bit of information which the family
was most anxious to have included.
When Potpourri started writing weddine- stories n tnno
lime ago no one, absolutely no one, ever included in a
wedding story the name of the person who made the wed
ding cake. If they were baked by others than professional
bakers, it was kept a dark secret. Now it is common for a
relative or close friend to make the wedding cake, and the
family wants this included in the story.
ims writer also remembers
who lighted the candles were seldom included in the ma
terial. Now this is also common. A few years ago some
stories included the fact that the aisle was laid with a
special white carpet or covering, which was deemed as
important as the flowers, candles and satin bows on the
pews. Somehow, white aisle coverings aren't in the news
now, a fact which doesn't make the society writer a bit
unhappy.
One piece of Information
day interested this writer. This was the fact that at Kathy
Ingle's wedding to Daniel Voorhics, the traditional wedding
marches were not used, and instead Miss Ingle and Organist
Edna Dougherty chose "The Wedding Suite" by Clokey
for the wedding marches, and her prelude music included
Purcell's "Trumpet Voluntary" which was nlaved as a
recessional for the wedding of
thony Armstrong-Jones. Miss Dougherty states that the
Clokey suite, published in 1957, is a beautiful piece of wed
ding music. The suite includes a solo, as well as the marches,

We read the other day that the U. S. post office has
ordered an electric "thinking machine that "reads ad
dresses and sorts at a minimum rate of 10,000 envelopes an
hour. We wonder if a version

department, particularly on engagement stories and wedding
questionnaires. There are times

Past and Present Meet
In Home of U.S. Senator
By ROSE McKEE
Washington - The years
1960 A.D. and 450 B.C. meet
harmoniously in the home of
Sen. and Mrs. Paul H. Doug
las in Washington.
. The Illinois Democrat and
his wife have a one - story
brick home that is completely
modern in design. It is the
setting for piaster copies of
ancient sculpture, some of the
originals of which date back
to about 450 B.C. Yet they
seem completely at home in
their modern surroundings.
Mrs. Douglas told the Na
tional Association of Home
Builders that she had always
known that when she and the
Senator had a house of their
own, she wanted it to be
"modern with everything on
one floor."
The daughter of Lorado
Taft, the noted sculptor, ex
plained that while she finds
satisfaction in keeping her
home neat and clean, she does
not believe in spending un
necessary time on housekeep
ing chores.
"In this 20th century," she
said, "there are so many other
things for women to do - I
wanted a home with the eas
iest and quickest ways of do
ing things about the house."
Mrs. Douglas got her wish
four years ago, when the mod
ern house was built and time
saving gadgets such as a dish
washer, were installed in the
kitchen.
When it came to furnishing
the house, she said she at first
couldn't think what she could
do to make it interesting on
a by then largely depleted
budget.
Collected Casts
"Then I realized that what
I had that was interesting was
my inheritance from my fa
ther," she added. "He had col
lected plaster casts of some
of the world's lovely pieces of
sculpture. They had come to
me simply because I was the
daughter of a sculptor."
Mrs. Douglas noted that
copies of sculpture now are
generally available and, she
said, many could do what she
has done in furnishing her
home if their interests are
similar.
She has used her pieces
with restraint so that there
is not even a suggestion of a
museum effect.
Over the fireplace, Mrs.
Douglas has a copy of a relief
that is in an art museum in
Athens. A memorial to a wom
an, the sculpture according to

legend, shows a woman se
lecting jewels for a long jour
ney from a box held out to her
by a kneeling handmaiden.
The white plaster of the relief
is pleasing against the floor-to-ceiling
brick of the modern
fireplace.
Another admired work is a
copy of a winged victory,
which hangs on a wall of the
entranceway. The original is
believed to date from 450 B.C.
In selecting draperies and
upholstery, Mrs. Douglas
chose solid colors that would
not distract from her unique
decorations. Sofas and chairs
are covered in russet or green
and she has tawny drapes
matching the color of her liv
ing room walls.
Among Mrs. Douglas' most
treasured sculpture are works
of her father. These include
a small likeness of her mother
when a young girl and her
father's working model of a
memorial fountain that stands
in Denver.
Outdoors, at the base of a
big tree, is a statue of a "hap
py girl, " a copy of one of the
figures her father did for his
noted "Fountain of the Great
Lakes" in Chicago.
To see large sculpture her
father did, Mrs. Douglas has
only to visit the plaza at Un
ion Station in Washington.
The Columbus Memorial there
is his work.
