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

every fashion-conscious wom

also to the sweeping, full

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

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

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. ;

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. -
