Padded Shoulders Return; Bell Sleeves Are Featured MUDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON THURSDAY. JANUARY 31, 1962 (is.. By ALINE MOSBY Paris - lliPU - Jacques Heim brought widened, padded shoulders back to w o m e n's fash ions to day. Other Pa r i s designers have added gently to the width of should e r s in the spring col lections, but Alina Mosby Heim, a de signer patronized extensively 'by foreign buyers, especially from the United States, went all the way. Reporters attending h i s press showing poked the .shoulder of one model as she hurried by in a pink coat, and felt padding not seen in Paris ,for years since those "Joan Crawford" shoulders went out of style. ' Heim used wide, bell-shaped sleeves, elbow length on near ly all of his clothes. He called "these sleeves "cornucopia," 'and dubbed his spring silhou ette "queen of hearts." Mushroom Look Actually the silhouette fea turing pencil-slim skirts also is "the mushrorrn look." i Almost all of HeL-r.'s coat sleeves were below-length, a couple of them narrow. But most of his collection featured the bell sleeve. He used it on everything from a navy blue mohair seven eighths coat to a white linen suit. The daytime linen dress es had bell sleeves and even Heim's floor-length evening gowns sported them in billow ing chiffons. To add to the silhouette of bulk above the waist, his suit jackets hung so loosely both at the back and front that the upper half of the woman's body was quite hidden. Narrow Belts Some jackets ended at the waist. Others were hip length, and only a narrow, leather cord belt or drawstring loose ly tied above the natural waistline srved them from looking like maternity dress es. In fact, Heim joined the other Paris designers who are using belts this season by add ing them to many outfits. Besides Heim, others show ing their spring styles before the critical audience of buyers and public today included La Roche, Carvent, Jean Patou and Maggy Rouf. Some American buyers viewing the Paris spring fash ion collections said today they have seen nothing new so far. "We have not viewed many collections, but so far we have not seen any models that we will buy," said the president cf one New York store who asked not to be identified. Fewer Buyers He said several New York stores sent fewer buyers than usual because the New York newspaper strike has cut into department store business. Two of the freshest ideas noted so far in the collection previews were the Japanese tea room outfit and French peasant suits shown Tuesday by J. F. Crahay. Crahay's peasant suits were regarded as highly commer cial, if not high fashion, by reporters who watched them paraded by models in bright linens, shantungs and even wools. The designers are using so many plaid and solid wools that the spring shows have a wintry look that is righi in keeping with Paris' freezing weather. The peasant suit is gathered at the top and has full sleeves gathered at the wrist, like a French peasant's or artist's smock. Crahay's next idea for spring of 1963 was to make women look like geisha girls in slim cocktail dreses and coats and full-lenelh pvenino coats with long, trailing kimo- iiu sleeves. Warmly applauded were lon clinffincr pvpninr, nnttmc of Japanese transparent prints wiin me long nearly lioor length kimono sleeves.

Mona Lisa May Become 1963 Woman of the Year Patricia McCormack By PATRICIA McCORMACK United Press International New York -IUPU- The Mona Lisa, that nice ancient lady worth millions and hanging in an art gal lery in the nation's capi ta 1, shows s i g n s of be coming the woman of the year 1 9 63. She's already given birth to to the Monar Lisar hair style and one needn't go to a beauty salon to ape it. Just part your hair in the mid dle and let it dangle. But stay inside on a windy day lest your locks be disturbed. That great lady, framed as she is, also has made robust, hefty females fashionably ac ceptable again. She's not what one considers chic in contem porary times. Obviously, she's even overweight. You can't even see her collarbone. But despite the robust con dition, the grand old lady con t i n u e s to draw admiring glances. And she's going places. First, she got that free ride across the Atlantic. Next on her itinerary: New York. Influence Wide It's too early to detect a Mona Lisa influence in the nation's garment district. But before long, you can bet there will be a Monar Lisar silhou ette. This requires imagina tion, of course, since no one can recall seeing the lady stand. If her manner catches on, fashionable ladies soon will be seen sitting quietly, hands folded the Mona Lisa way and with their mouths closed. This will have a quieting ef fect. There will follow a 1 1 kinds of attempts to imitate that famous Mona Lisa expres sion. The expression itself al ready has given Americans something new to speculate about. New Game The newest indoor game on a rainy or windy night, in fact, is the Monar Lisar game. While the wind howls and rat tles the roof, the family gath ers about the fireplace or tel evision set and tries to fig ure the reason for the look on her face. Each person takes a t u r n guessing. It helps when you guess to use contemporary sit uations likely to cause such an expression. Samples of explanations: She just heard that the landlord, after stopping by to raise the rent, had four flat tires on the way home. She just was told that sec ond cousin Ferdinand, who spent his life buttering up rich old Grandpa, wasn't remem bered in Grandpa's will. She wasn't either. But, then, she didn't waste ull that time try ing to get next to the old man! She just learned that her husband has his salary dou bled and she wanted to cry with joy. But the portrait painter was a relative of her husband's boss and she didn't want to give him the satisfac l i o n of knowing she felt THAT happy about it. The artist told her a joke and she wanted to hee-haw. But she couldn't. She just had her teeth out. Smiling would gum up the portrait. Return Ashland - Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Ingle, 1155 Fern street, re turned Monday night from a two - weeks motor trip to Arizona and Mexico.

Mrs. Walter McLean and William H. Ferguson, retiring noble grands of the two lodges, presided at meetings of the groups which sanction ed starting of the fund this month. January 15 Odd Fellows approved a Rebekah proposal that a building fund be start ed and at the last meeting of Amethyst lodge plans for the fund were presented and members agreed to give their support. Prior to the meetings Mrs. Charles Stripling volunteered to serve as general chairman for a fund committee and to take charge of all arrange ments. Since it will take a considerable amount of work and financing to Improve the hall, many fund raising events will be held during the com ing weeks, it was announced. Funds Needed Mrs. McLean and Mr. Fer guson stated definite plans as to what will be done about the building are not yet avail able and will depend on funds raised. Both are hopeful that the project will be a success. The need for improvements was pointed out by both out going noble grands. The pass ing years have deteriorated the building and recent wind and rain storms have caused extensive damage to the roof and interior of the hall. Mr. Ferguson said the building is in bad shape and must be rc- February Meat Supplies Will Be Plentiful "February is the shortest month and the worst," says an old proverb. Your outlook may brighten, though when you remember the holidays the month holds and the plen tiful meat supplies that can make the days gay. As a part of this year's expected record beef produc tion, beef supplies for Feb ruary will be more than a year ago, the American Meat institute estimates. Perhaps a juicy beef steak will get your message across more effectively than words on Valentine's day, February 14. Barbecued beef sandwich es would be a natural for a teen party that day. The fourteenth is also Gaek kebrew for the Danes, a day when young people exchange joking messages, something you might want to remember for the evening's entertain ment. How about a savory pork and noodle casserole for the home from - school days? An increase in pork supplies is expected this year and this month should be above last Fabruary. No increase in lamb and veal supplies is expected. To make even a dreary Groundhog day, February 2, seem cheery, start the morn ing with pork sausage, (al ways a good buy. And what could be more appropriate for Mardi Gras or Pancake Tuesday, February 26, than a dinner platter of pork sau sage links and patties and pancakes? The twenty-sixth is also known as Fasnacht day, a day when the Pnnsylvania Dutch make square doughnuts. Lard is the ingredient that makes doughnuts special, and many Washington day's cherry pies will prove that point. Three Named As State BPW Candidates Ashland - At the winter board meeting of Oregon Busi ness and Professional Wom en's clubs three Ashland mem bers were named by the slate nominating committee as can didates to head standing com mittees. At the Salem board sessions Mrs. Jacqueline Lewis was nominated for leg islative chairman; Mrs. Viola Squire was named for mem bership chairman, and Mrs. Louise Myers was chosen can didate for representative of the Southern Oregon district. Alf three have served as prcsMcnl of the Ashland club. In celebration of its fifth birthday the local club will entertain Mrs. Jcane Greene, state president, and members of the traveling orientation team, at a 6:30 p.m., dinner February 6, in Wesley house. The visitors will be in charge of the program. Dr. Ruth Bcbbcr, club president, will preside and make a report on the recent state board meeting which hc and the vice prerldcnt, Mrs. Virginia Westcrflcld at tended. Membership chair man, Mrs. Squire, will pre sent the program participants. t paired u meetings are con tinued there. Temporary re pairs are expensive, it was said. Because of the condition of the hall Rebckahs accepted an offer several months ago to meet in the tenant home of Mr. and Mrs. Evert Jen nings on Fourth avenue. Mrs. Jennings herself are active member, donated the use of the building until March 1st when another meeting place will have to be found by Re bckahs. IOOF members have continued to hold meetings in the hall. The retiring noble grand of the Gold Hill IOOF is a long time member and had prev iously served In this office. Mr. Ferguson said he feels the most important thing accom plished the past year has been to keep the local Odd Fellows lodge functioning, a difficult thing due to poor attendance and condition of the hall. He stated his appreciation of the faithfulness of those who at tended meetings and perform ed the functions of the order. Help Offered Now that the Rcbekahs have offered to help the Odd Fellows with the building project, he is certain Odd Fel lowship and Rebekahship will continue to be an important part of the community as it has for so many, many years. Although the building fund and improvement program are only in the planning stages he is hopeful they will succeed as other ventures of the two lodges have in the past. Mrs. McLean is also a long time member of the lodge and has been active since joining about 20 years ago. As a presiding officer the past year, and an earlier term, she feels that friendships has been encouraged by the lodges. Discussions of ritual istic work were held and a class of three candidates ini tiated last spring. Although small, this class of Rebekahs has shown sincere interest in the lodge, she said. Each ac cepted an appointive office for 1963 and were installed January 22. They are Mrs. Stripling, Mrs. Walter Dye, and Mrs. Hcrschcl Robertson. Special recognition was given these membcri by Mrs. Mc Lean as she concluded her term as noble grand. The next meeting of Ame thyst Rebekah lodge will be held Wednesday, February 6 at 8 p.m. at the Jennings ten ant home. Mrs. Albert Gascon, incoming noble grand, will preside. She and Martin John son, incoming noble grand of the Odd Fellows, are enthusi astic about the building fund and believe it will be a "step ping stone for the lodges in 1963."

Reviews Given For Ashland Study Club Ashland - Mrs. Len Osgood was hostess for the January 28 meeting of Ashland Study club when the program was presented by Mrs. Faith Mc Cullough and Mrs. Horace Myers. Mrs. R. Drew Lamb presided. For the day's book review Mrs. McCullough chose the new novel by Allen Drury, "A Shade of Difference." Tills is in many respects a continua tion of his first book, "Advise and Consent," which was a Pulitzer prize winner. Its theme is a timely and contro versial one written by a news man with long and intimate experience in political life. Although the dominant theme of the story is world wide racial unrest with its communist ramifications the reviewer expressed her belief that its more significant mes sage is the question, "Shall the United States government allow the United Nations to dominate its domestic poli cies?" "A Shade of Difference" Is the first major novel to deal with this explosive problem and as such has been accorded a cool reception in many quarters and given unfavor able reviews by the liberal and leftist press. In spite of this it immediately went to the top of the "Ten Best Sell ers," holding first place for more than ten weeks. The poetry of Rupert, Brooke was the subject of Mrs. Myers half-hour talk. She told of the English poet's brief life which ended at the age of 27 but which left a legendary heritage of roman tic verse. Many of Brooke's poems were read by Mrs. Myers and at the conclusion of her talk there was a general discussion of the value of poetry. Mrs. Myers quoted one of the verses written by her rovher and Mrs. Osgood was persuad ed to read one of her own poems. The February 1 1 club meet ing will be held at the home of Mrs. Harold Merrill when the program will be presented by Mrs. L. M. Lancaster and Mrs. Frances Hardy. Downtown AAedford SAVE NOW!
