Rome - Angelus bells ring, swallows dive and swirl above, the evening sun splashes the red, ochre, and terra-cotta of old buildings; children laugh and play; care free customers fill to over flowing the outdoor cafe ta bles. In a little, pretty fruit shop off the Via-Vcneto, innocuous looking peaches sell for exact ly $1.82 per one; it is straw berry season; cherries are tied in bouquets, and big pears are still on the market. The in numerable varieties of lus cious Ice creams are again in the bars after winter hibernation. it is May in incomparable, glorious Rome! As I sit In a most pensive mood on Piazza Navonna, watching tiny children with parents paddling around with little boats of paper in the water; watching cheek to check unselfconscious lovers; seeing all ages, and sorts of people, looking at the three big Bernini Fountains forever overflowing, I wonder if Rome will succumb, eventu- Uy, to progrcss-if the foun tains will be torn down to make place to park the ever growing army of Fiats. I wonder about this because of an article in the Paris edi tion of the Herald Tribune, which was about an idea for outdoor cafes, flowers and fountuins in a big open square in New York city. The idea was abandoned as Impractical; the land Is too valuable. Park ing lots are at a premium. Pope John is becoming weaker daily. He has now given up his Sunday appear ance. Aldo Moro is the newly ap pointed prime minister, re placing Fanfanl. He is a law professor, melancholy In ap pearance, and not the type one thinks of as being In poli tics.

The convention will be held In Grants Pass Jiie 6-8. Fanfanl plans should be car ried on as the only workable type of government for Italy now. Will Mr. Kennedy meet Mr. Khrushchev in Rome, or, won't he? This is a question filling much space in the Italian papers; daily. As one person put it, "When will the other shoe drop?" A literary stir has arisen in Rome over a book astonish ingly like the best -selling book, "The Leopard," which was published six years ago. It is called "Seven and a Half" and was written by a profes sor named Gulseppi Maggorle He is from Palmero, and it is said that the two authors lived contemporaneously, and knew each other. Silk shirts, lined in con trasting colors, are on one out of three women in Rome . . . still no hats, on either sex. Italian girls wear bikinis. Most of them shouldn't. Ital ians trek to the beaches seem ingly in caravans. They start on a certain day in spring-and stop on a certain day in the fall, regardless of weather. Italy is building, of all things, a flood lit drive-in church. This, in a land where a drive-in anything is rare. It will be called "Madonna of the Highway," and will have a huge illuminated image ot the Madonna high on its mod ernistic steeple. It will be vis ible for miles. It is to be built along side a treacherous curve on a mountain road, and will be something like a concert bowl with room for 2,000 au tomobiles to park. Americans will pay tribute to the 13.000 servicemen who died in Italy, in special me morial ceremonies on Thurs day. They will be held at the beautiful, restful cemetery at tNctluno, out of Anzio. It is not like Flanders Field, "where poppies grow between the crosses, row on row." It is all green, green grass between the curving rows of white marble, and formal gardens, and delightful pools filled with goldfish. In a marble building at one end is a chapel where all the names are en graved, and across the altar, "Peace on Earth, good will towards Men." It is the most beautiful cemetery I have ever seen. Breakfast Is Given For Bosses The first annual "Bon's Breakfast" sponsored by the Medford Credit Women's Breakfast club was held re cently at Stanley's restaurant. The Rev. David Browne from St. Mark's Episcopal Church gave the invocation. The Misses Judie Broolcman, Jackie King, and Dixie Tay lor, all members of the Thes pians troupe from Medford High school- and directed by Mrs. Lenore Zapell, presented some short credit skits. The president, Mrs. Betty Lou Foster, was mistress of ceremonies and introduced her boss, Jim Foster of Fos ter's Pharmacy. Also present were Mrs. Gayle Mullin and Gene Thomas, Oregon Fi nance; Mrs. Marge Gooley and Don Ford from Western Auto company; Mrs. Thelma Alli son and Truman Nelson of La Polnte's; Mrs. Doris Johnson and Hugh Rogers, Medford Credit bureau; Mrs. Carolyn Russell and J.

Style Factors Society s Topic Dr. Robert Doerter of Southern Oregon college talk ed at the last meeting of the Southern Oregon Society of Artists. His subject was the factors that affect painting styles, mentioning history, the personality of the artist, the instructor and other points. He also stated that the per sonality of an artist brings into being different styles and interpretations. The meeting was opened by Mrs. Ronald R. Caperna (Gail) who displayed the art work of her three young daughters. The children use oils, pastels and charcoal and have been interested in different types of art since they were small, she reported. A new group of paintings will be hung at Mon Desir for the months of June, July and August, the society states. The works of Mrs. Ethyl Hixon, Mrs. Joan Beyer, Mrs, Fran Middleton, Mrs. Bea Corum, George Johnson and Mrs. Bess Mitchell will be hung in the Public Library of Medford and Jackson County during June. Bridal Styles Have Undergone Many Changes Throughout Years J..,., v...- .u... .k. hHHal face veil was i at the ceremony an Bridal styles have under gone many changes. The so called traditional gown has an unusual history, according to the editors of the Better Homes and Gardens Bride's Book.' Anne of Brittany is said to have been the first bride to wear white, when she mar ried Louis XII of France. Many brides began to follow her example and white so assumed its unchallenged su premacy as the bridal color. Previously medieval brides had worn bright colors, usual ly scarlet. At the time of the Roman Empire brides wore matching veils and gowns of linen, silk, or cotton, the editors say. Gown and veil were either purple or white, depending upon the father's occupation. Greek brides of the period also wore white veils, but pagans wore veils of vivid yellow-orange. Used "Care Cloth" The veil as part of the bridal costume stems from an Anglo-Saxon custom. The bride and groom took their vows under a "care cloth" to hide the bride's blushes from onlookers. Gradually it be came the custom for only the bride to be covered, and thus the bridal face veil was devised. Wearing orange blossoms with the veil is a time-honored custom. Legend says that the wearing of blossoms which signify good fortune and hap piness originated with a gar dener's daughter in Spain. Orange groves were highly pri-ed by the Spanish nobil ity and a French nobleman wanted to obtain a slip from a tree tr- "t:n a grove in Frsnce. The nobleman offered the girl a gold purse for a slip, enabling her to have a dowry to marry her beloved. In gratitude, she wore blos soms on her mantilla. Most Spanish brides, however, wore gaily colored flowers tucked into black mantillas, for only the wealthy and aristocratic wore white gowns and white lace mantillas. In the United States bridal fashion has undergone many changes. Modern brides fre quently refer to a "tradition al" gown although no preced ing periods witnessed the type of gown popular today. Bridal Aprons Colonial brides treasured their bridal aprons - an article of clothing suited to the dresses of the day. The apron, which was recognized as a symbol of domesticity and wifely virtue, was worn only Rain Threatens Party Planned at White House By HELEN THOMAS United Press International Washington - (UPD - Every thing was "go" except the weather for the White House outdoor opera tonight honor ing visiting president of In dia, Servepalli Radhakrish-nan.

First Lady Jacqueline Ken nedy, who is expecting her third child in August, plans to attend the dinner in honor of the Indian dignitary. She has cancelled all of her offi cial schedule but will make an exception tonight, having been a special guest in India last year.

The gown In soft hues of lilac, pink, and ros were made like ball gown or robes for special occasions: The outer garment was open in front, and the low-necked bodice was elaborate with lace and embroidery. Bridal attire at the end of the century was distinguished by wedding tans.- weaiiny girls carried fans painted by the popular French artist Boucher, Fragonard rnd Wat- teau - and nuptial fans wera often given to brides as gifts. The wedding fan of Marie An toinette was decorated wltn diamonds and emeralds., J Crinoline Period The period 1852-1B70 . is known as the Crinoline Peri od, because attention was fo cused on tne skirt. In 1860 the skirt often measured ten yards around. Steel . hoops were even worn in the sleeves a fashion which altered tha social custom of a man offer ing his arm to a lady. Accom panying the fashion extremi ties of the period, wedding ;owns were extravagant with steel hoops and numerous overskirts. American matrons were often presented at court in their wedding gowns be cause the court requirements were very strict, and only bridal gowns were of suffici ent richness and modesty. : At the end of the century the electicism which pervad ed all the arts was apparent in fashion. Fads were rapidly snatched from preceding -pe riods including leg-o-mutton sleeves, gored skirts, frilled waists, and bishop sleeves. rompadour hair styles , and large hats were introduced to balance the figure. Designs Freer With advent of World War I, women's fashions became increasingly free in design. Reaching its zenith in .the 20's was the chemise dress, extend ing only to the knee. Bridal gowns of this period frequent ly had a short front and a train extending out behind. Dresses became so skimpy that in 1928 manufacturers became alarmed at the small amount of material sold and persuad ed dress designers to create costumes requiring more ma terial. During World War II wom en's styles were affected by the War Production - board which restricted the amo t of material that could be used in garments - saving 15 per cent on yardage. Bridal gowns, however, say the edi tors of the Bride's Book, wera among the types of garments exempted from the strict regu lations - so the bride's "dream dress" could be as elaborate as she chose. Innovations since the 5'0's have witnessed a radical change in fabrics suitable for wedding gowns. No longer is the bride restricted in choice of fabric or style - she Can wear her grandmother's gown or her own original design in any fabric from cotton plqu to imported satin. Save Time . . .
