There's always something new for Christmas. This year we received a package, which came from . a New York City department store, tied with red and gold elasticized ribbon. Stretch ribbon was a new Idea to us, and we think it's a good one. As for Potpourri, we couldn't wrap or dec orate packages without cellophane tape. A woman who lives in Jacksonville was absolutely flabbergasted over one of her gifts. It is a beautiful, hand- engraved, sterling silver measuring cup. She was a bit flattered, too, for the engraved inscription hailed her as a good cook. She is, too. Pal Peg drew our attention New York Times which listed "we 11 bet you didn't know about this" presents. One article was false eyelashes for pooches. Mrs. L. D. Inskeep knows today's children are in tune with the times. Her eight-year-old grandson, Jules Albert Prevot, begged his mother for a real, live baby buffalo. One of Mrs. Inskeep's granddaughters asked Santa Claus for "rocket shoes." Last week was a most hectic one for the society gals, inundated with large and important wedding stories. But we still had time to enjoy funny stories. Mrs. Kirkland West, answering questions about her family, offered a story told by her daughter, Mrs. Christopher Williams, Seattle. Mrs. Williams was outdoors to take her small son for an airing when a group of small children gathered around. "What's the baby's name?" inquired one youngster, and Mrs. Williams replied "Ben." "Ben Hur?" asked the youngster whereupon a girl burst out, scornfully, "Can't you see it's a boy? It's Ben him!". A young girl we know telephoned an adult to thank her for a gift. "How nice of you to call" said the adult, somewhat at a loss for conversation. "Oh, it was mother s Idea" said the girl, with refreshing candor. ' Happy New Year! O.S. Women of World Write Major Chapter in History By MARCIA MILANOWSKI United Press International Chicago -IUPU- Women wrote a major chapter in the history of 1060. The names that stood out as the first year of"the new de cade ended Included Jacque line Kennedy Princess Mar garet, Pat Nixon, Queen Eli zabeth, Barbara Powers, and Queen Farah Diba. They are central figures in election campaigns, in royal births and marriages, and in ternational Incidents. There were pageantry and simplicity, hope and the walk down the aisle of Westminster Abbey for Britain's Princess Margaret. The girl just about everyone had relegated to spinsterhood married a com moner and former photog rapher, Antony Armstrong- Jones. Escapades of heiress debu tantes sparked the flame of romance in advemtures around the world. Gamble Benedict and ex-chauffeur Andre Porumbeanu, 35, final ly said "I do" in a North Carolina town after a hide-and-seek clopment to Paris and a tug-of-war battle with Grandmother Benedict, the power behind the Remington typewriter fortune. Nanette Wallace married her soldier from North Caro lina with the blessings of her mother, but only after an elopmcnt from Frange to Ger many. Miss Wallace's mother, Mrs. Patricia Wallace Vander bilt, is the ex-wife of million aire Cornelius Vandcrbilt, Jr. Prince Born Queen Elizabeth gave Bri tain its second royal prince, the first to be born to a reign ing British monarch in more than a century. Queen Farah Diba of Iran presented the Shah with his first son, and the throne with its next heir. Princess Michiko of Japan gave birth to her first child, also a boy. King Baudouin, the bache lor monarch of Belgium, sur prised royal matchmakers by taking a Spanish bride. Dona Fablola de Mora y Aragon. The beloved Princess Suga of Japan married a commoner. America's queens made headlines, too. Skating star Carol Hciss won a gold medal at the Winter Olympics and later her fifth world figure skating title; Negro athlete Wllma Rudolph became the new queen in women's track, taking three gold medals in Olympic contests in Rome. A lovely queen from Mon tague. Mich., took the Miss America crown. She's 18-year-old Nancy Anne Fleming. In politics, Pat Nixon launched a campaign of her own for First Lady, but lost out to 31-year-old Jacqueline Kennedy. In November, Mrs. Kennedy gave birth to her second child and first son, John F. Kennedy, Jr. Women Elected Maurine Neubergcr won her late husband's senatorial seat In Oregon. She'll be on the opposite side of the aisle from Margaret Chase Smith, Maine Republican, who was re elected after a historic race with another woman, Mrs. Lucia Cormier. It was the first time in history two wom en competed for a Senate scat. In Ceylon, Mrs. Slrima Banderanaikc, was elected premier, the first woman in history to hold such a post. She succeeded her husband who was assassinated. to an advertisement in the for sure that the wishes of May day, and a fateful mis sion, the haunting story of a pilot's wife-Barbara Powers, wife of the U-2 pilot sen tenced to 10 years of hard labor in Russia after being convicted of espionage. The 26-year-old Georgia woman was plummeted into an in ternational spotlight that dimmed only when the good byes were said in a dark and bare Moscow prison. Space news took a woman's turn with adventurous Jerrie Cobb. The slender 29-year-old blonde from Oklahoma under went a series of physical and psychological tests, similar to those taken by seven male Astronauts. Woman Astronaut Mrs, Jane Baldasare, the 24-year-old housewife from New York, set a new world's underwater endurance record, but failed in two attempts to swim the English channel un derwater. It -took Dr. Barbara Moore 85 days, but the 56-year-old British vegeterian walked from San Francisco to New York on a diet of grass juice and fruit. Dr. Moore hoped to break the cross country walk ing record, but fell behind two British servicemen by 18 days. In Hollywood, these names were in the news: Cheryl Crane, the teenage daughter of actress Lana Turner, twice tried to escape from the school for wayward girls where she was com mitted for supervision. Her mother marked 1960 with her fifth marriage, to wealthy rancher Fred May. Other movie marriages included Nancy Sinatra and Tommy Sand; Sandra Dee and Bobby Darin; Debbie Reynolds and jOlarry Karl; Swedish actress May BrUt and Negro singer Sammy Davis, Jr.; actress Jill St. John and Lance Revent low, only son of dime store heiress Barbara Hutton; and John Barrymore, Jr. and Italian starlet Gaby Palazzolg Famous Divorces Parted were Marilyn Mon roe and Arthur Miller; Jean Simmons and Stewart Grang- eft Vivien Leigh and Laur ence Olivier; Laraine Day and former baseball manager Leo Durocher; Mamie VanDorcn and bandleader Ray Anthony; bucllle Ball and Dcsi Arnaz.

Ell vera Doud, 82-ycar-old mother of Mamie Eisenhower: actress Margaret Sullivan; and Sylvia Pankhurst, British crusader for women's rights?79.
