MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. SUNDAY. APRIL 9. 1981 sum Four hundred women, all decked out In their spring 'finery were almost too much for the committee, social re porter and photographer at the Easter Monday luncheon last week. By the "committee" we mean the three, brave souls who took on the task of choosing "the fairest" five among the 400. Compared to their task, that of the society reporter was a breeze. ... We had, as usual, looked ourself sternly in the eye and said "you must take more notes at the party" and then, as -usual, there was such a throng and so many friends and so many pretty women and so many smart suits and so many gay hats that the whole thing just sort of merged into one big pool of color. , From time to time some color, or hat, or hairdo would stand out and one of these was the hairdo of Mrs. James :Ouincv. Mrs. Quinev's bouffant coiffure was especially at tractive, and we didn't blame her for refusing to cover it up with a hat. Mrs. William Tycer looked smart in a lav ander ensemble, Mrs., David Holmes wore a suit which echoed the color of her blonde hair and her lightly tanned face.and Mrs. Arlon Skinner was one of the few women at the party who had on the rich pink which is being fea tured so much this spring. .. Sunday night before the luncheon we had browsed 'through some issues of the New York Times and came upon a large advertisement of a "mob cap" done in black taffeta land white oraandv and said to be the "latest thing" in spring hats. Imagine our delight to find one at the party, a saucy little thing made of pink and white by the wearer, Mrs. F. Jerome Hunter, and decorated with a rose. ' . - ( -. Later when EO heard about the headdress, she thought perhaps it should read "mop cap" but both Mrs. Hunter " and Potpourri remembered that the Times advertisement had read "mob." Intrigued with this name, 'we looked In our fashion dictionary and found the cap, but under a completely different name. ' 1 ' ) - 'The dictionary pictures and describes the head covering as a "Charlotte Cotday cap" and the inscription reads: "Soft 'cap, gathered and held by ribbori band, with frill framing face and hanging longer in backi Worn by Charlotte Cor :day .(1768-1793). who was guillotined during the French Revolution." A gruesome Idea, methlnks, to associate with such a pert little bit of feminine frippery. 1 Mrs. Hunter said she. found the cap. in a pattern book and had if completed before coming upon the N.Y. Times advertisement. ' r Credit where credit is due: Mrs. Raymond Wise was responsible for table decorations and party tallies; Mrs. Richard Rementeria and Mrs. Thomas Teutsch arranged dec orations at the entrance of the clubhouse and on the Star light room stage.
