Padded Shoulders Return;
Bell Sleeves Are Featured

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.

Two Gold Hill Lodges
Start Building Fund
c 7
Gold Hill - A building fund
earmarked for improvements
to the IOOF hall on Fourtn
avenue in Gold Hill has re
kindled interest in the build
ing project that has been dis
cussed for many years by
members of Gold Hill Inde
pendent Order of Odd pcllows
and Amethyst Rebekah lodge.
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."

interests.
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.
