6 C SUNDAY. DECEMBER 23. 1962 MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOBD. OREGON Beard-Brooks Ceremony 1 y'M i' , 1 Mr. and Mr. Burl Beard (So. Or. Color Processors) There must be some rhyme or reason lo the way women's fashions change, but we've never had time to go into the matter scientifically, or read the results of the research others have done. Consider the business of skirt lengths, for Instance. Last year, there wasn't a long evening gown at the annual Charily Ball of the Junior Service league. Nor the yoar before, and maybe the year before that. This year 15 or 20 women at the dance wore floor-length gowns. The rest of the women had on short gowns and they were the current knee-length skirts there were no in between lengths. Since the League committee had chosen "Christmas, Past and Present," as the theme of the ball, this female decided to accent the past. We hauled out of storage a long, slim, black evening gown with a beaded yoke that is practically ft family heirloom, rind wore it to the dance. From time to time we bad a qualm what if everyone else at the dance had on a short rlrcss? We wouldn't be able to turn around and go home we were attending as a reporter, and there Were pictures to be taken. The first woman we saw as we approached the Country clubhouse door was Mrs. Murray Gardiner, wearing a floor- length, slim evening gown of silver lame with red and green design very smart and very holiday-Inn,. Our spirits went up. Soon we found olhcrs. Mrs. Kent Blackhurst, president nf the league, was wearing an elegant long gown with a bell-shaped skirl the material was printed with red roses. Mrs. John C. Collins' long gown was similar in design In t hat Mrs. Blackhurst wore. It was of aquamarine blue and with It Helen wore a cap of satin ribbon which matched the gown in color. Although this formal dance has been, for several years, a fancy headdress and hairdress event, many women ignored this and their hairdos were scarcely more elaborate than for any afternoon party. Mrs. James Rowan wore a lovely. gown of silver brocade find Mrs. Robert Klein, who is a petile creature, had on a long brown satin which had a Jacqueline Kennedy look the square-necked frock was lloor-lenglh and slim and with out ornamentation. Mrs. William DuhHimc. ball chairman, also wore a long black gown which was effective with her pale blonde hair. The short gowns were as beautiful as Ihe long, of course. Mrs. Charles Champlin wore a short full-skirted Christmas green gown and her brown hair was dressed by Reverly Rogers of Medford Beauty school to resemble a liny foun tain. It was arranged on lop of her head in a series of graceful liltlc outward turning swirls and a little gold ornament in the middle completed the effect of spouting and falling water. Sully said her young daughter had looked at her mother's party hairdo and Instantly said, "It looks like A fountain." Feathers were popular with the women who ornamented their hair. Mrs. Dewey Wilson, the League's publicity chair man, had on a white satin frock, simply made and with the fashionable under-stated look which Mrs. Kennedy has stressed so much, and on her hair, supplemented a bit with "something borrowed", were two large, graceful white plumes. Mrs. Wilson's daughter also had a pertinent com ment to make. "You look like a circus pony," she had said after giving her pretty mother a critical look. Mrs. Richard Schwahn, first place winner in the head dress contest last year, had her hair heavily silvered andjprOITI Oklahoma wore red feathers on her head to match her red sheath frock.
