o Women's DIM Americans seem to enjoy combining business with pleasure They swarm to conventions, and for cocktail lounges and to shop business on the golf course, and an eye on customers as well as listen to the anas. In San Francisco the famous jewelry firm, Tiffany's, which recently opened a branch in the Bay city, gave the annual Opera association benefit ball this fall, and turned over the sizeable pro ceeds to the association. In Medford Wednesday night the Dean and Taylor company wrapped business, pleasure, charity and cul ture all up in one gay package. Almost 700 people were on hand to see beautiful women in beautiful clothes and furs, drink cham pagne, view an art exhibit by a young Italian artist, Roberto Cia bani, look at new cars and at the same time, swell the coffers of the Junior Service league which operates a kindergarten for chil- dre.. with hearing and speech difficulties. Since plenty of other guests inspected every inch of the two sparkling new cars displayed, perhaps Bob Taylor will forgive us if we admit that we enjoyed the style show and art exhibit the most. The fashion show was probably the smallest we've ever covered for The Tribune, and one of the most elegant. It had a dramatic opening with the appearance of Mrs. William Clark wearing an after-five black dress with a blue iris mink wrap which matched her hair in color. Mrs. Clark's hair styled with a row of forward-turning little feathered curls across the top of her head brought a stir from the feminine guests. If Mrs. Clark looked like she had spent the day in preparation for the grand moment she hadn't. She arrived home from Coos Bay only in time to be coif fured and take part in the show. The models which followed Mrs. C. were equally fashionable and poised. Mrs. Wes Pearson modeled a long white evening gown on the new empire lines and a violet mink bubble cape. Mrs. Charles Gustafson was billed as the "Cream Puff" model and the jacket she wore over her gown was of natural autumn haze mink with interesting horizontal pockets. Glittering peacock blue is back on the fashion scene, and Mrs. Dorris Reed wore a gown of brocade in this color with a detach able overskirt which ended' in a brief train. Mrs. Russell Acheson modeled a gown of blue velvet with a flower at the hipline and a tuxedo style mink jacket of morning light color. Mrs. Frank Hopewell's slithering long black evening gown had the "cold shoulder look" the intricate straps bared the shoul ders. Ellie's wrap was the newest of the new it was of broad tail lamb and it had a little fur boa type collar that serves all sorts of purposes it ended up on Ellie's head as a cunning little hat when she gave it a twist or two and perched it on top of her bouffant hairdo. Utterly different was the long white dress modeled by lovely Susan Watrud. It had a simple white top and a long, slim, bright green wool skirt with a beaded belt. Over this she wore a little coat of sheared muskrat with natural mink collar. Mrs. William Dawkins, known for her interesting hair styles and makeup fash ions, was introduced as the "Invincible Look". This was achieved with gold lame stretch pants worn with a black turtle neck sweater and sleeveless vest. Marty wore high-heeled gold leather slippers and her hair was in the new Italian bunch cut. Closing the show was Mrs. Warren Bishop wearing an evening gown of the color of the year cranberry with a big fluffy white fox stole. Mrs. Bishop wasn't alone her companion was Pierre, a mite of a black poodle who gravely sat up or walked when bidden by his mistress. Pierre was in evening clothes, too. He wore a tiny black velvet coat with sequins on it, and a dashing white fur bow tie which had been made specially for the occasion by Samuel Schwab, the furrier who had supplied the furs for the show. Mrs. Edward Sickels, whose crisp, clear speaking voice comes out beautifully through the microphone, was commentator and de scribed the clothing which had been supplied by several Medford shops. Isabelle's gorgeous green silk brocade dress and coat were from her own wardrobe and added a bright note to the scene. The ensemble was sent to her from China by her mother. Many of the women guests wure smart fall garb, and Mr. Tay lor's women employees and the wives of his salesmen who served the wine, all looked chic in black frocks. Mrs. Taylor, who also helped out with the champagne trays, wore a blue dress designed with a close-fitting skirt which blooms out into a ruffle with a beguiling swish when in motion. . In spite of all the glitter and distraction, many of the guests spent considerable time looking at Mr. Ciabani's paintings. This young artist does scenes, structures, still life, figures he's very interested in the world around him and has been enjoying the new experience of Oregon. Both the artist and his wife, the former Stephanie Ball, were at the showing. . The talk branched off in all directions. Dr. Ralph Hibbs wan dered up to the group which also included The Mail Tribune's "Countess" and FB, and asked if Pappy guaranteed that he could put a gun sight into such shape that the doctor could be sure he would hit a deer. Smiling the doctor-hunter said "I've been to my oculist and he says there's nothing wrong with my eyes, and the psychiatrist says I'm a well-adjusted man and I don't think there's anything much wrong with the gun, but I still can't alwavs hit a deer." O.S. Move Potted Plants Indoor During Early Autumn Days In the early days of autumn, i African violets, begonias, gar- house plants that nave enjoyea a summer vacation outdoors should be taken indoors so they may adapt to the environment there before artificial heat is turned on in homes, says the Society of American Florists. Plants that haven't thrieved outdoors during the lush days of summer, says SAF, aren't likely to improve indoors. There fore, these "weak-sister" plants should be replaced, it adds. House plants that have bene fited from the warm, moist weather outdoors need a period ... k olincll In Iho in-I door climate again before homes are artificially heated. Other wise, the abrupt change to hot, dry air of heated homes will be harmful to them, the Society points out. The societv offers these care suggestions for house plants to Plants should be sprayed with an insecticide to nd them of anv insect pests, and the out - sides of all pots should be scrub - bed with a brush and water. The top soil of plants, sun actively arowing. should be re moved and replaced with a mix ture of two parts garden soil, one part thoroughly rotted manure, and bonemeal at the rate of a teaspoontul to eacn six-inch pot. Plants should De piacea near windows, at either the sunny or shady locations they prefer, and they should be given' rou tine care during winter months.

Philodendron, for exam ple, says the society, is extreme ly hardy and adaptable. The most popular small foliage plants include baby leaf ivy, golden pothos, marble queen pothos, variegated nephthytis, assorted ivies (including grape, ripple, Englis, geranium, and gold dust), assorted cacti, vari egated peperomias, sansexeir- egated peperomias sanseneiP 10', "U wiiue vein iiuumcia.

Rose, is doing just fine in the academic line. Mrs. Joseph P. Kennedy is getting her second honorary de gree October 5 this one from St. Joseph's Catholic Girls col lege at Emmitsburg, Md. She also has an honorary degree from Sacred Heart college at Manhattanville where her daugh ters and two daughters-in-law went to school. Mrs. Kennedy confided to re porters recently that when she was 16 and wanted to enter Wcllesley college, her father wouldn't allow it, saying she was "too young." She said he Professor Speaker For Council "Challenge for the Future of PTA" was the topic chosen by Dr. Betty Lou Dunlop, guest speaker for the school of in formation of the Jackson Coun cil of Parent-Teacher associa tions held recently at the Red Cross building. Dr. Dunlop is professor of education at Southern Oregon college. She pointed out that PTA has worked diligently in th past to promote the welfare of chil dren of the nation. The mem bers have much to be proud of in the achievement of the lunch program, health examina tions for school children, and recreation programs, she said. However, there are many fields that are yet open to be ex plored and promoted by PTA. Her suggestions for possible projects of the future were: Thorough eye examinations for each school child; dropouts: programs for elementary school children; study of educational approaches: vocational guid ance for high school students; new educational media; organ izational teaching. When these topics have been presented through unit pro grams, the one most vital to the members can be selected for the prime objective of the group, she said. Mrs. Haie Greenman, presi dent of the council, greeted the 75 members attending and in troduced members of the coun cil. A mock meeting was con ducted by Mrs. Owen Kunkel, with special attention given to parliamentary procedures. Workshops were held for presi dents by Mrs. A. J. Johannson and Mrs. Emerson Anderson, for magazine chairmen by Mrs. Max Weston; membership by Mrs. Donald Faber and Mrs. Jacob Lahr, finance by Mrs. Kunkel and Mrs. Harry Dalton, and program by Mrs. Kobert Kagy and Mrs. Donald de Ha ven. Luncheon was served by the Medford coordinating commit tee of PTA. Mrs. Al Bradford is president of this group.

MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDKOKU. OREGON sent her instead to a girls' con vent at Aachen, Germany. But she made up for it. "I've been taking extension courses ever since," she grinned. To Make Speech The wife of the former ambas sador to Great Britain, who raised her children to go into public service, Mrs. Kennedy said she will make a speech on the Blessed Mother Seton, who was "an inspiration for saint hood." "She worked for the needy and the sick," she said, "and so should we." Mrs. Kennedy said she docs not expect any of her famous children to be on hand when she accepts the honorary de gree for her contribution as a mother. Mrs. Kennedy does a lot of public speaking, mostly about her days as the chatelaine of the American embassy in Lon don. And she seems to keep an eternal youth. Is Stand-In Twice she has been stand-in for the first lady during visits honoring heads of state and she enjoys the official hostess role thoroughly. Last Tuesday, she did the hostess honors for Em peror Haile Selassie of Ethiopia. While seeing the emperor to the door with the President, she caught herself humming the Viennese Waltz liltingly played by the Air Force Strings. The President's father, Jo seph P. Kennedy, also enjoys visiting the White House. An in valid from a stroke he suffered nearly two years ago, the elder Kennedy still keeps up with the news and likes to come to Wash ington. His trips are a special treat for the children in the W7hite House. Caroline and John Jr., who adore their "grand daddy." Here is a particularly beauti ful example of a full-length eve ning wrap hy Helen Rose, made of fitt- creamy beige fleece. Interesting points are soft hand.
