The public is invited to attend. Chanel that even Paris shop girls copy. Her classic suit with its straight skirt and cardigan sweaterlike, simple jacket, the lining usually matching the blouse, is a standard item in Paris. This season the Chanel models in bangs and hair bows did not wear droopy chain necklaces but ropes of colored beads. Another slight change was the disappearance of the blouse with "pussy cat" scarf-bow at the neckline. The 1963-64 Chanel suit blouses are collarless and vertically tucked for a long look. Chanel made her new suits of Irish tweeds, including one show-stopper of palest apricot yellow-orange with a blouse and jacket lining the same color. One suit was belted at the waist but all others hung straight. Some had braid trim mings, some had collars and others were collarless. The collection also included one example of Chanel's usual tailored suit with lapels, and her dark dresses with white collars and cuffs. The coats were one new item: Narrow and fitted at the waist, but beltless, of tweeds with fluffy fur collars, cuffs and linings. One favorite with the audience was a pale orange - yellow tweed coat with orange fox collar worn over an orange-yellow tucked silk shirtwaist dress. Another hit was a black wool coat with black ostrich feather collar.

Wtrson 'Mr. Homeowners" Children Need 3-in-l Room For Activities As youngsters grow older, their hobbies and interests change. And so do their needs for living space. Homemakers can keep pace with these changes by converting their children's bedrooms into 3-in-1 activity centers that serve as bedroom, party room and general fun room. Besides meeting the needs of the child, says the Con struction Research bureau, national clearing house for building information, the 3-in-1 activity center is designed to provide a substitute for living rooms and family rooms, thus keeping the rest of the house more quiet and less cluttered. Start with Floor Because the floor design determines the overall deco rating scheme, it's wise to start there. Resilient cover ings that resist scuffs and stains such as vinyl asbestos tile are ideal for the rough wear youngsters will give the floor. They can be ob tained in gay colors and com binations and can be kept bright and clean with a min imum of care. A charming floor for a girl's room can easily be created with dainty madiera pink or egret white in a mar- bleized style of Kentile vinyl asbestos that will hide any signs of dirt. For a boy's room, colonial blue or shan non green are ideal marble ized colors. And hop-scotch or checker board patterns as well as complete shuffleboard game insets can be built into the floor to provide many fun filled hours for the young sters in this all-'round room. Trundle Bads Next, select furniture and accessories that are in tune with the colors in the floor. Trundle beds, with one short legged bed fitting under a standard-height bed when not in use, are an excellent choice. They can double as daytime seats when the young sters entertain. Washable draperies come in a wide range' of colors and prints for window accent. In stall scratch-resistant compo sition tops on work tables and desks, and add storage chests and builtins for the young sters clothing and hobby ma terials. A half-oval table for snacks that can also be used for model building or games will save space if it is hinged to the wall so it can be folded back and hooked when not in use. A radio, hi-fi or an extra television set often can be built into a storage wall to provide restful entertain ment.

' MEDFORD Women's Varied Alaskan Wildlife Is Described (Editor's note: This is the third in a series of letters written by Mrs. Kenneth Brown, formerly of Medford, who with her husband is spending several months on an island off the coast of Alaska during the logging season. The Browns were ac tive in Crater Lake aerie. Fra ternal Order of Eagles, and the auxiliary when they lived in the valley.) We have electricty now- and that means water too. We have our pump in a little creek and it is white water. The water the rest of the camp has is a nasty yellow. Surely seems good to have all the water I want. We still don't have a radio -can't seem to get one that will work out here. We have a record player but there has been trouble with the light plant the past few days so can't play it. Yesterday was a foggy, drizzly, dreary day. Today the sun is trying to break through the clouds. The salmon are in-Hum- pies mostly. I haven't seen them but the men say they are really thick in the creek. Then-the other morning Ken ny said to come see the otter. There were two of them-one big, one little - swimming across the edge of the bay. An eagle swooped down when they were nearly across and got the little one. It swam for a very short way but the eagle finally dragged it out onto a sand bar. Soon there were four or five eagles there. The one stayed until about 2:30 p.m. Kenny said It was probably gorged until it couian i ny. Bear Traps Man Sunday, four of the men went on a hike. They missed lunch and dinner -came in way late and asked me to fix them something to eat. We found out later they got caught between two bears and finally had to kill one- they had the claws to prove it. The man that did the shooting lost an eye in the war but still got the bear with one shot with a 30-30. The bear weighed about 800 pounds. I finally saw a wild dog They have crossbred with the wolves and are apparently descendants of the Indian dogs. They are too timid to come out in the daytime but we see them at night. It never gets really dark, you know. And we have acquired a "pet." A shrew has adopted us. Shrews are Alaska's version of mice. I can think of nicer pets! Women Attend Festival Plays A group of women from Oswego, Ore., have returned to their homes after being in the valley to attend the first four plays of the 1063 season of the Oregon Shakespearean festival, Ashland.

Kent Hogan, D.M.D. Cascade Shopping Center White City Dr. Albert R. Eaton, D.M.D. 60 N. 4th Si. -Central Point and Announces the Opening of Their Offices for THE PRACTICE OF DENTISTRY MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, News by Writer We went in to Sitka on July 3 and came back on the fifth. Really had a ball. Walk ed and walked and walked. We saw any number of log gers from Oregon and some Kenny had worked with in Ketchikan when we were up here before. There was a logging contest and a parade and the usual celebration. We bought over $100 worth of groceries and a refrigerator- freezer, plywood and paint for the house. Kenny has one coat of paint on the front and part of one end of the house. It's jonquil yellow and the trim will be Arizona tan. It looks bright and cheerful set among the trees. We went out to Totem park left the hotel about 7 a.m. on the Fourth. It's about a mile from the center of town. You pass Sheldon Jackson Junior college on the way. That is quite a school it has quite a high rating. I visited St. Michael s Cath edral that place is simply gorgeous. The doors from the anteroom are bronze and all the biblical scenes are done in gold, silver and bronze may be other metals, too. The priest's crown, which weighs about 40 pounds, is gold stud ded with pearls, rubies and emeralds. Real ones. He wears it too. The carpet appears to be velvet but don't suppose it is. Claude was right it defies description. Robin Hood Theme of Collection Paris - IUPD - Robin Hood - complete with mid-thigh boots, highwayman-style hat and suede jerkins - marched through the autumn collection of Yves St. Laurent today. St. Laurent put his manne quins into the Sherwood For est look including page boy hairdos. The mid-thigh boots were worn with skintight shaggy tweed suits, and the St. Laurent models wore Robin Hood suede or felt hats with turned up brim in back and heavy dark wool socks to the knee. Sometimes their shoes-even with brocaded cocktail dresses -were soft flat-heeled ankle- high bootlcts without laces or buttons, another Robin Hood touch. With tweed suits and even daytime dresses and evening wear the models wore giant heavy chains, sometimes hold ing huge pendants, as on the costume of some medieval king. St. Laurent kept his fast selling Norman peasant sleeve of last season, full and cuffed at the wrist, and his cap sleeved jumpers over long sleeved blouses, which also contributed to the Robin Hoi d feeling. The Chanel collection . is scheduled for Tuesday with Givenchy and Balenciaga showing to buyers Wednesday and Thursday. A collective look at the ac cessories shown so far in the Paris (all-winter fashion events indicates that Paris has fallen head-ovcr-legs for high boots, already a going fad in New York. The Paris boots, launched by Cristobal Balenciaga last year, have been shown In everything from fur to fabric.
