Wednesday Club Hears Reviews Mrs. Edith Swartsley and Mrs.. Rita Miller presented the program for Wednesday Study club January 4. "Look Southward, Uncle" by Edward Tomlinson, was the book chosen by Mrs. Swartsley for review. The au tlior, a correspondent, traveler and gatherer of information on inter-American relations, deals with the various aspects of travel. The author slates that today, economics is the key to better understanding among the people of the Americas. Mrs. Rita Miller gave two short articles; the first entitled "Seward's Fortunate Folly," by Frank J. Taylor, tells of the purchase of Alaska in 1867 by' William Henry Sew ard, secretary of stule, who was much-maligned for the purchase, at that time. Today U.S. defense strategists rccog-. nize with gratitude Seward's action as he eliminated a vast Russian beachhead from the North American continent, the author points out. Mrs. Miller's second article told how Mario De La Fuente, son of an aristocratic Mexican family, had fled into exile in the U.S. in 1914 and by friend ly acts and understanding did much to case the tensions ex isting in Nogalcs, a town on the Arizona-Mexican border which was split by the Inter national Boundary Survey of the 1880's. The article is en titled "He's Making Our Bor der Brighter," and was writ ten by Keith Monroe.

I n HOUSE Qf BEAUTY, JANUARY 11, 1961 explanation of the observ ance. The festivities were built around the feast of the Epi phany which occurs on Janu ary 6, or 12 days after Christ mas. It is believed that on this day the Magi reached their destination at Bethlehem. One traditional celebration of this, the last day of the Christmas season, is the serv ing of a Twelth Night cake, a Christmas fruit bread baked in the shape of a crown. In side the cake, among various other articles, is a lone bean. When the cake is served the person who receives the bean is promptly crowned "Queen of the Revelers" and reigns for the duration of the party. Mrs. Frank Horton, who was chairman for the event, baked the cake which was served by Mrs. Bart Little field. The recipient of the bean was Mrs. Florence Lance who was crowned by The Very Rev. Carl Mai and was pre sented a scepter and a gift of pickled herring. It is an old custom that anyone who cats pickled herring early In the year is granted a wish for each piece eaten. After the queen's corona lion, she requested that Fath er Mai sing a Christmas carol. He obliged with a version of "Silent Night" sung in Ger man, his native tongue. Gifts were presented to those who had found surprise objects in their cake. The ar ticles in the cake indicated the type of gift to be given. The guest who found a tiny clothes pin, signifying a good house keeper, received a gift of a scrub cloth. Another gift was a small bottle of candy pills given to a guest who found a button in her cake, which in dicaled a need to lose weight. After all the gifts were dis tributed, refreshments were served by Mrs. Littlefield, Mrs. LeRoy Stuart and Mrs. O. W. McGee. The forty-seven women who attended joined in the singing of Christmas carols which con cluded the festivities. Members of the committee who helped with planning and preparation were Mrs. Lee Pendcrgasl, Mrs. George Holt ziger, Mrs. Arthur Becker and Mrs. Earl DeLisle. The Mcdford Court hopes to make the Twelfth Night party their annual Christmas celebration.

O'QftO t& Q California Paris Says Skirts Will Be Shorter By NORA MARTIN United Press International Paris (UPD American wom en are going to wear shorter skirts this year in a style de scribed as ."young but wise," fashion house sources said to day. Fashion houses here are preparing for their spring showings January 23, and as usual, the American market is the prime target. Word leaking out from the closely guarded workrooms of the major designers is that they are going all out for short skirts for the second year in a row. But there wont be any thing too sensational. Marc Bohan, new designer of the Christian Dior house said re cently that he doesn't plan anything as startling as the "new look with which the late Dior startled the world in 1947. Bohan is displaying 180 models on January 26. It will be his first show since he took over as chief designer from "Boy Wonder" Yves St. Laur ent last year. He has indicated that this year's models will be on the "easy to wear side and will not go to such extravagances as the sack dress, the trapeze line and the H-line of the past. The aim, he told UPI, was to cash in more on the Amer ican market. Bohan, who was an assist ant designer under St. Laur ent before moving up to the top spot, said he made some 500 designs which are being made into the 180 dresses for display. Prices, he indicated, are likely to be as nign as ever. Bohan hinted he was using liEht colors and rare mater ials for the majority of his collection. "I am in favor of women looking young and feminine and elegant in a casual way," hp said. Observers predicted that word of Dior's "natural line" would influence other design ers. Dior is easily the most powerful of the Paris fashion houses. It docs an estimated gross husiness of more than 36 mil lion dollars a year and de- nenris on the prestige gath ered at the twice yearly fash ion shows to sell to women around the world. This year's models,' like the dresses, sound promising, a Drettv 20-year-old New York er, Nancy Field, Is one of the most striking, and Kazukb Matsuda of Tokyo is another who has caught the eye of fashion experts for her grace and charm. Both came to Paris as stu dents and stayed on as models.
