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.

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.

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.
