tn TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 13. 1SE2 MEDFORD MAIL THIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON Way back there before the election we went to a hat show sponsored by the Eleanor Roosevelt league. We met a lot o candidates, saw some smart hats and learned something about the current fad (or have the teenagers forgotten about it in the last couple of weeks?) called the wig wag. As worn by three pretty teenagers, the wig wags were a sensation. Linda Bowen, Rosctta Bowen and Cathy Bradford wore these head coverings which are hat or hair, whichever the wearer decides they are, and demonstrated that they can be brushed up, down, around and around, straight up or into duck tails or flips. On Linda, Rosetta and Cathy, the wig wags were terrific. But yesterday we looked out of the news room window and down to the sidewalk and saw a sight which unsettled us for the rest of the afternoon. We saw a half-grown boy wearing beat up Levis, a tattered jacket and having on top of his head what looked like a thatch of grey hair badly in need of a shampoo, trim and combing. It was, we repeat, a horrendous sight. But why shouldn't boys wear wigs? According to the Sacramento Bee, girls in that city are wearing fried mar bles. The fad started on the East coast and is spreading "like a prairie fire." According to the Bee, the girls take common glass marbles, put them In a skillet over medium heat on the stove. They are heated for about 15 minutes until they are very hot and then are plunged into ice water. This results in the marbles being "crackled" inside, but still smooth on the surface. Small prongs are glued on and the marbles are fastened to a chain and worn as a necklace. Potpourri is frankly on the side of the milliner when it comes to hats. We wish more women wore hats oftener. During the league show we resolved to go down town the next day and try on hats. But these are busy days for the news room gals, and we still don't know how we'd look in a $50 mink hat. Mis. Frank Christian, league president, was one of the models for the show and she looked especially handsome In a crushed satin chapeau of blue satin. Mary Kelly - wife of Judge Edward Kelly and almost "Mrs. Democrat" herself In this area, looked equally elegant in a black dress worn with a black mink hat matched with a muff, or in a white ostrich feather creation. Mrs. A. L. Straus, a brunette known for her modish wardrobe, modeled a ranch mink hat with a brown frock and gold jewelry. Later she made a "surprise appearance" wear ing a formal gown, black velvet gloves, multiple strands of big pink pearls and a silver blonde wig. Mrs. Wally Bowen, Mrs. Richard Kane and Mrs. Ralph Poston wore hats particularly suitable for young matrons. Mrs. Bowen looked pretty In red, one of Mrs. Kane's appear ances was in the always fashionable black and white, and Mrs. Poston had a lot of applause when she modeled a leopard skin hat with a red frock. All of the hats were from Mann's store, and Mrs. Ira McDonald was commentator. Someone, possibly Mrs. McDonald, had the clever idea of having the candidates' wives wear hats supplied by the store, and they were introduced as a group at the close of the evening. The presence of Marty Wyatt, Miss Oregon, added a glow to the evening. Kathy Watson sang, Camella Wheat presented a skit and song and Carl Unruh not only sang, but presented a number which he had written himself called "This Valley." John Lusk played both the organ and piano and added a touch of humor to the evening. PanDV and Potpourri watched the television program Sunday afternoon which launched the campaign to raise tnnrts for the DroDosed National Cultural center in Washing. ton. Later we heard and saw Supreme Allied Commander Gen. Lmnis Norstad in an interview about NATO forces and the military situation in Europe. We decided that those who explained the proposed center had sounded much less con. vincing and dedicated than did the general.-O.S.
