Full, Black Cocktail Dress Missing From Fall Fashions By CAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York - IUPD - Say good bye to the cocktail dress in both title and traditionally full skirt. Bid farewell to the little black crepe dress for late day once the standby of every fashion-conscious wom an' wardrobe. And say adieu also to the sweeping, full skirled ball gown. All these are so rare In the New York fashion collections for Fan and Winter you can count their appearances on your hands. In their place, new mimes, bold and pastel shades to re place the black, and slithering evening gown reacning to the floor. This season, I predict the long dinner dress will be worn where last year a woman would have worn a short dress." said Larry Aldrich manufacturer and president of .the New York couture point out. . Mrs. George Glclm, Route 1, is chairman of the planning committee and further infor mation may be obtained from her. been covering openings of the new collections, shown main ly for the nation's store buy ers, I've heard the phrase "cocktail dress" twice. More often, it's a Into day dress In Still Not Too Late To Have Your FURS CLEANED AND STORED In Our REFRIGERATED FUR STORAGE VAULTS! the parlance of the showroom commentator. Adcle Simpson, the design er-manufacturer, renamed the cocktail "day's end social dress." These dresses have changed in line from bell-shaped skirts and scooped necklines in warp silks to the sheerest of wools or crinkly and carved silks in colors ranging from palest pink and lime to bright reds and greens. The line of the late day dress: slim. Formal Gowns Lean For more formal occasions the look Is also lean for the new season. There are a few dresses shaped closely to the figure with empire waistlines, But most depend on draping the fabric through seaming and bias cut, to outline the flgure-skimmlng lightly over it, not hugging it. ' Designers use both black and pastel colored wools of sheerest weight for many of the dinner dresses. By con trast, almost every collection has a group of formal gowns In handsome and costly bro cades, metallic and Jewel embroidery. erous In both short and long drcssup coats are the copies of the casual trench coat.

A potluck luncheon will be held at 12 o'clock; each mem ber and guest arc asked to bring their own table service besides a covered dish. Chairs are also r.reded. Social Events Women's News Last week Potpourri had two new experiences, both somewhat unpleasant. An Infection resulted in an unpleasant pain and the even more unpleasant and decidely unsightly swelling of the cheek, jaw, lips and eye. This kept us from work two day, and from attending the rose show, an event we haven't missed since it was first started about 9 or 10 years ago. The second, over much more quickly, happened while the two c! us wer riding smoothly along in the Road Run ner Sunday afternoon on our way home from an excursion up Shady Cove way and towards Tiller. We ran smack dab into a swarm of bees, flying low along the highway. A few moments before we had been half of a notion to put the top down on the car, the clouds having cleared away, that we might enjoy more the sunshine which has been too in frequent this spring. Thank heaven, we resisted the whim. We know the bees were flying low, for some of them smashed into the radiator and bumper of the Road Runner, which is very low. Many covered the windshield and two or three found their way through the one window which was down. We ve run into small clouds of flying ant, gnats, mosquitoes and other insects during the years of motoring, and have had various birds dash themselves against the car but never a swarm of bees. Now we've had this unique experience, we hope it never happens again. Next time we might not have the car top up. What we'll really remember about yesterday's little Sun day excursion though is the sight of the wild flowers. We're beginning to run out of words to describe the beauty of Ore gon this spring. How we wish that the tourists who will be coming in larger numbers later could have visited the state in May and June. Those who haven t had the good fortune to drive on Crater Lake highway to Shady Cove and beyond in recent days have missed a spectacular display of color in the fields and woods. Masses of purple vetch cover the fences and creep up the hillsides, whole meadows are dotted with wild rose bushes covered with the lovely pink blossoms which so many flower lovers enjoy and never before within the time we've lived In Oregon has there been such gorgeous color from the lowly bachelor buttons or perhaps you call them cornflowers. The patches and fields of these blossoms give the im pression of being mostly blue, but when you stop and take a close look, there are several shades, some of which we did not know existed. The deep blue flowers of course are predominant, but others are pale blue, blue and white, laven der and there's even a stray pink one now and then. And much to our surprise, we found dark reddish ones. It was the sight of these occasional dots of dark color that finally caused us to get out and walk through a patch. At this particular spot we also found the little bright yellow daisies called Oregon sunshine, and the sunny Cali fornia poppies. Blackberry bushes around the edge provided a border ot modest white flowers. Higher up about the summit of the highway that leads to Tiller, the two ot us discovered a big clump of yellow Scotch broom growing in the middle of an abandoned log ging road. This colorful plant, not native to Oregon, which enlivens the landscape but is a pest for farmers and cattle men, seems to be spreading over the entire western half of the state. While Pappy was photographing a clump ot bear grass or squaw grass, if you prefer, he noticed a low plant with pink blossoms. Two were growing there, and were complete ly new to us. The vine-like plant was smallish with oval leaves growing opposite on a reddish stem and the five- petaled blossoms have a white center which "fade" into the pink edge. Consulting our old Saunders flower book, with its color ed Illustrations, we decided that the picture and description given for a California gentian fitted this flower, but a call to the L. G. Gentners, who know a lot about Oregon flowers. brought the information that they are unfamiliar with such a plant In Oregon. The one little sprig we picked we make it a rule never to dig plants which might be uncommon Tournament Tomorrow One of the Important events of this month for duplicate bridge fans is the charity tour nament which the Medford Duplicate Bridge club will sponsor Tuesday, June 11, at Girls Community club. The tournament is part of a national series sponsored by the American Contract Bridge league to raise funds for the Multiple Sclerosis foundation and the Institute of Logoped-ics. A catered dinner will be served at 6 p.m. and play will begin at. 7:30 p.m. Reserva tions may be made by calling Mrs. Paul McDuffee, Mrs. Jack Mitchell or Mrs. Frank R. Baker. Stick Candy Used In Iced Tea Drinks Iced tea drinks become can dy coolers when you use fla vored candy sticks as swizzle sticks. They lend color, flavor and a slight sweetness. Rock candy also can be used as a sweeten er. So can a lemon drop or a mint-flavored gum drop. FRUIT KABOBS Garnish summer meat clat ters with fresh fruit kabobs cantaloupe balls or cubes nd bright red strawberries alternated on small wooden skewers with lemon ahd or ange quarters. Provide Adequate Power for Operating Laundry Equipment Champaign, 111. -dTO- Ease wear and tear on laundry equipment by providing ade quate operating power, ad vises Sue Herndon, University of Illinois equipment special ist. She said an automatic wash er should have its own circuit protected by either a 20-am-pere fuse or a circuit breaker. When the motor starts, stops and reverses to start an ex traction cycle, it needs more current at that instant than is needed to keep it running. When power is inadequate, extra strain is put on the mo tor. Many times the motor will have an extra-heavy load to pull because ot an overload of clothes or excessive suds. The motor may become quite hot from the excessive pull and this can reduce the life of a washer considerably if done frequently. "Don't fiddle with the dials once the motor is running," she said, "because the sensi tive automatic controls may become improperly set." On Leave Montague-Ssrt. James Wal ters, on leave from Fort Ord. Calif., and his wife have spent the nast week here visiting relatives and friends. They have been houseguests of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ogden Walters at their ranch home north of Montague. Group Returns Frcm Exercises The John M. Gates family, 1958 Military road, returned last week after being away for 10 days to attend Stephens college commencement exer cises at Columbia, Mo., when their daughter. Miss Rebecca Elin Gates, received an asso ciate in arts degree. Accom panying Mr. and Mrs. Gates also were their sons, John M. Gates Jr., and Stephen Gates. The week end activities in cluded an aquatic demonstra tion, a horse show, a luncheon for mothers and daughters and a barbecue event for students' fathers. While en route the Gates visited friends in Kansas City, Mo., Oklahoma City, Okla., and traveled to Grand canyon. They also made numerous stops at museums and parks as they traveled. Workshop , Planned The Star Promenaders will meet for their monthly work shop Tuesday, June 11 at 8 p.m., in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Dwane Lehman, Bigham road, White City. -A 6 Paint Brushes Need To Be 'Broken In' New York -flTO- A paint roller like a new pair of shoes needs a "breaking in." Wash the roller cover with warm water and suds and rinse well. If you are applying a fashion color latex type of paint, wet the roller just before using, advises one paint manufac turer. After you've finished paint ing, immerse the roller in the proper solvent for the coating you have used. Shake the solvent through the coater, then roll it out on a news paper to remove all excess liquid. Finally, wash it in warm, sudsy water, rinse well, then dry. Avocado Dressing Uses Wine, Cheese An unusual dressing for av ocados combines blue cheese, light cream and rum or wine. Blend four ounces of crum bled blue cheese with one fourth cup qt cream. Add two tablespoons of light rum or sweet white wine. Makes enough to fill cavi ties of four avocados, cut lengthwise, and pitted. and scarce is being saved to show the Gentners and others in the hope of identification. We are forever Destering someone for information about cither flowers or birds and last week it was Pauline Bush we called to inquire about a bird new to us. This one we first noticed because he not only has a musical song, but a pretty orange-yellow breast, white wing striDings and de cided eye markings. We had already decided, after consulting Peterson, that this songful creature must be a warbler, and Pauline B. said that there are quite a few warblers in the valley. Pauline added that some of the warblers appear to by wearing harlequin glasses, so unusual are their eye mark ings. After reading and conferring over the phone we decided that it might be a Thompson's warbler. If this delightful little bird continues to appear in our yard and that of our neighbors, the Bells, perhaps we can keep the glasses on him long enough to memorize his colors, markings and song. We envy those who can whistle bird calls so tney are recognizable. ; . e . e Of RDecial significance right now is a statement by Ber- trand Russell, the famous English philosopher and author often in the world news. Mr. Russell wrote a letter published in the May 5 issue of the New York Times Magazine in which he retracted a statement in one of his books concern ing Negroes. In the book, "Of Marriage and Morals" Mr. Russell had written "It seems on the whole fair to regard Negroes as on the average Inferior to white men ..." In the recent letter he wrote "I should like to say that subsequent research has led me to consider this unfavorable statement concerning Negro ability unfounded and I regret having made it. I have made efforts to have it corrected in reprints of the book." O.S. - 3BS lipstick mi If Famous Tussy Perm a-Dew Lipstick NOW 2fd&$l . Select from eight fashion-right shades.
