SUNDAY. MAY J. 1963 MEDFOKD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOHD, OREGON Slimmer, Skimmer Gowns Newest in Wedding Styles r i By GAY PAULEY UPI Womtn'i Editor New York-UIPIi-Here comes the bride in the skimmer dress. The simple silhouette of the skim mer is the newest one in wedding fah- ions, says one m anufacturer of bridal 3 gowns tor a J y quarter of a 41 f ' century. Mur- iw. Iwiwi ray Hambur c.iri'.oiM gcr president of the New York firm which bears his name, described the skimmer thusly: "A sort of a shift with raised waist, seml-directorie." "The day of the cascade of ruffles on the wedding gown has gone," said Hamburger. The pared-down or controlled shape has taken over and ail- noueitcs in otner fashions are the reason. The trend today in all women's wear is toward simplicity - and a lot of the credit goes to Mis. John F, Kennedy, the First Lady, said Hamgurger. She's one of the exponents of clothes with flowing lines and beautiful fabrics. Wants Shaath Another bridal gown sopkesman, Morris Gerstlcr of David Morris company. New York, said today's young nntie wants "the good-look ing belle' type dress." Even the First Lady's man- tllla for church is affecting bridal Headdress, Hamburger said that many a bride who once ordered a fancy head' dress now drapes a piece of heirloom or heirloom looking lace across her hair. Besides the slkmmer, the bride of 1063 can look for: The sheath, moulding the figure in the front, but with a train sweeping from the back. The convertibles. Trains are detachable, sometimes the entire skirt can be removed to leave a slender sheath for wear at formal occasions after the wedding. One manufac turer, Pandora, showed a gown which has a train and skirt zipping off to leave a trect length dress. Trains and gowns so con structed that the bride 'is "emancipated," as Hamburger put it, after the walk back up the aisle. The train can be hooked up to the back of the skirt, bustle fashion, so that a bride isn't "trapped" in it in the receiving line Costumes for both bride and bridesmaids. Many of the new drosses for each come with little jackets or boleros to be removed after the wed ding to turn them into bare shouldered ball gowns. Hamburger showed a bridal dress-coat costume that may be a harbinger. A great coat style, floor length, with some train at the back, can be worn as a wedding gown or later as an evening wrap. The coat, done in Italian silk satin with a white lace lining, topped a floor-length princess dress of lace over ivory satin. The dress could serve later as a formal. The floor length bridal Rown is "In," the ballerina length a rarity, said Hamburg er. Necklines come In Iwo categories, low cut or high, round jewel neck. The long sleeve reaching to the wrist Is the most popular. In fabric, the stlffcr ma terials are favorites even for summer. "Organdy once was a summertime favorite," said Hamburger, "but with air condioning a girl now is com fortable in any fabric." He listed laces, satins, taffetas, and brocades as the leaders. Many of them are silks com bined with the man-made fi bers. Hamburger, 59, said he was one of a "dozen or so " peo ple specializing in bridal ap parel when he opened his wholesale business 25 years ago. "Today, he said, "there arc hundreds." He was one of the pioneers of the convertible dress and he showed a "stich for stitch" reproduction of the wedding gown worn by Queen Eliza beth II of Great Britain the day she was married to Prince Philip in Westminster Abbey in London. Hamburger said only that "sources" in London tipped him in advance on what that design would be. His rcpro ductions sold at $1,500 whole sale. Now, he's adapting from the gown worn by Elizabeth's cousin, Princess Alexandra, at the latest royal wedding "Royalty has more influ ence on bridal fashions than what actresses wear," said Hamburger. We asked him to predict the direction wedding gown styles might head next. "We re in the the age of white and ivory now, he said, after a moment. "I have a feeling we may be entering a new era of color." . SpareribS Are Featured in Tangy Entree in warm weatner, sparcrms are often barbecued outdoors, but here's an ideal way to prepare them any day. The dish is called Bohem ian Spareribs, since it's styled after the many sauerkraut dishes in that part of the world. The sauerkraut Is sea soned with caraway seeds and placed In a bilking dish. On ion slices come next, then can ned tomatoes. The spareribs follow for the top layer of this hearty, tangy entree. Reba Staggs, meat author ity, recommends one-half pound of spareribs lor each person. Remove the breast bone before cutting between the ribs, if this hasn't been done by the retailer. Bohemian , -Bpararlbi Two to three pounds spare ribs; one teaspoon sail; one' fourth teaspoon pepper; one tablespoon caraway seeds; one can (one pound, four ounces) sauerkraut; one medium on ion, sliced; one can (one pound, four ounces) tomatoes. Cut spareribs into individ ual servings. Season with salt and pepper. Mix caraway seeds with sauerkraut and place in a twelve by eight Inch baking dish. Arrange on ion slices on sauerkraut and pour tomatoes over mixture. Place spareribs on lop. Bake in a moderate oven (M50 de grees) two hours. Four to six servings. The association of silver with marriage was a natural outgrowth of the change in the manner of acquiring a bride. When men began to buy wives rather than capture them, the price of the wife was often measured in silver coin. '1 Cutting the caka servtd at a party to celebrate his 93rd birthday anniversary is Col.

Kitchen Time-Savers Listed by Economist Shortcuts in the kitchen are important to the modern homemaker. Why? Because people are living at a more rapid pace than ever before in history. Today's homemak er has far less time to spend in the kitchen. Reba Staggs, well-known home economist, has suggest ed several time-savers in meat cookery. Now you can lake little time to turn out a whole some meat dish, one with ap petite appeal. Bake meat loaf mixture in muffin pans or a 9-inch square pan for shorter baking time.
