Wedding Bells Ring In New Note in Refreshments A refreshing, picture-pretty ice cream punch and petit fours are ideal wedding reception refreshments. Vmi-Vidi By MARGARET SCHULER Rome - Rome is full of a number of things besides the Forum, 400 churches, automo biles and elections. It is filled with anecdotes, myths, tales (old and new) . . . and people. This is a story I recently heard. A tall, modish Ameri can girl stood on a corner. A voice beside her caused her to look down at a litle Italian man. He said, "Scusi, Signora, I would like to know you; In fact, 1 would like to marry you." He gave her an excel lent reason. He was such a little shrimp, he said that he hoped he could marry a tall wife so that he would have tall children. So she married himl And they are living hap pily ever after, with two chil dren, growing bigger by the day. Now that is a true story. I know the woman. She belongs to the American Woman's club in Rome, and is rather an important person. She is big and good looking to boot. Rents Table Here is another one. At the Excelsior in Rome, predomi nantly inhabited by the upper moneyed bracket Americans, lives permanently a woman from the States. Her age is uncertain, although her hair is dark. She rents a coffee table and two of the high QYBJA1"! UAT HAVCI tjfe OPEN FRIDAY 'TIL 9 P.M. DEMI-TOE SEAMLESS NYLONS Regularly 49c 39 C First quality.

She rents it and has a Reserve sign on it, all the time. She sits, and she sleeps most of the day and evening in one chair, leaving occasion ally to walk into the dining room close to her. Occasional ly it is necessary to oust some one who has been brash enough to ignore the poster on the table. And she does it. I suppose it would not be pos sible to find out the price of such an arrangement in the busiest, biggest, most affluent hotel in the city, but it would be interesting to know. One of the most unusual and entertaining spectacles on the Via Vento, where there are many amusing things to see, is that of a sly little beg gar woman, making sport of waiters and customers alike. Her beat is on both sides of the avenue; the exclusive Cafe DeParis on the one side, and Doney's, the foreigners' paradise, on the other. Natural Actress She wears for her work, i simple black dress, not too poor, and a red ribbon around her hair. Bending forward a bit, the finished, little natural actress, deceptively timid and humble, slithers up to men at coffee tables, with little cupped hands plteously out stretched. Instinctively they reach into pockets. Distracted, busy waiters try in vain to edge her off. But she is too smart for them. She passively resists, and sort of flows around them, cunning ly out - maneuvering them. When two of them (and it takes two) exasperated, finally edge her to the curb, she hides in the shrubbery for a few minutes, peering and peeping out, and then returns to her Job. What she tries to bait the waiters into doing, is to push her, or even to touch her. Promptly, she then falls down, and sympathy flows from kind hearted tourists, and bus iness prospers more than ever. She was gone during the cold weather. Possibly, yes, probably, she winters some where on the Riviera. But Spring is here and money is in the air. May and June herald the season of sunshine and flow ers but this lovely time of year also brings showers ap propriately accompanied by wedding bells. And showers and weddings mean parties for the prospective bride and groom as well as a reception after the big event. As refreshments for both shower and a reception you can't do better than choose cake and ice cream. Both should be something special, of course, and what could be more special than petit fours, those eye appealing little French cakes, cut from a big sheet of white cake and frost ed with fondant frosting? Special ice cream might well be in molds, but just as eye appealing and delicious is the pastel ice cream punch shown in the footed punch bowl. The combination of fruit juice and chilled spark ling water provides a refresh ing beverage in which scoops of fruit sherbet and vanilla ice cream float. It makes a party version of an old fash ioned ice cream soda, smooth and satisfyinR to drink and perfectly delicious to cat! PASTEL SHERBET CREAM PUNCH One one -pint two -fluid ounces can pineapple juice, chilled (2'j cups) ;one pint lime, lemon or respberry sher bet; one pint vanilla ice cream; one 12-fluid ounces bottle chilled sparkling water, Combine pineapple juice, sherbet and one-half of the ice cream; beat until smooth and add sparkling water. Spoon remaining ice cream into punch. Serve immediately. Makes seven cups of punch, enough for 14 one-half cup servings. Pastel Punch made wth lemon sherbet or raspberry sherbet would make a good summer drink or soda base, particularly nice for bridal showers or birthday parties. All three drinks are pretty, and would make an attractive combination if all were served at bigger parties.

YOUR MONEYS WORTH MO R CAT WOOLWORTH'S FOR A TASTY SNACK - AN APPETIZING MEAl - THINK OF US CORNER 6TH AND CENTRAL Hints on How To Clean Tiles Given by Trade If your New Year's resolu tion is to keep a neater house, why not start with the easy projects, to get the right frame of mind? In most homes these will be cleaning the ceramic tile walls and floors in the bathroom. A quick washing with house hold detergent and water nor mally will be all that is re quired. However, if hard wa ter and soap deposits have built up over a period of time they may require scouring powder and a stiff bristle brush. Unglazed tile, such as those used on the floor, can be scrubbed or scraped in cases of long neglect or accidental spillage. Here are some additional hints from the Tile Council of America, trade association which represents leading ceramic tile manufactures, on how to clean especially diffi cult smudges: Rust marks, re move with good commercial rust remover, which ia avail able at most hardware stores; rubber heel marks, scrub with abrasive type cleaner or kero sene, or rub with soft rubber pencil eraser; joints between tile, seldom become stained in bathrooms, but may be stained by grease on kitchen countertops. Scrub with ' scouring powder, washing soda or caustic soda. Paint spots may be scraped off with a knife or razor blade. THE DANMOORE HOTEL 1217 SW Morrison St. PORTLAND, OREGON All transient f usts.
