r A J TUESDAY, DECEMBER 31. 1963 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON 1 s s 7 The guests would have arrived on fool or by wagon and buggy instead, of by automobile, the women's skirts would brush the floor instead of barely covering the knees and they would have danced the polka or Virginia reel to fiddle music instead of the twist or cha-cha to an orchestra, rec ords or radio. However, the guests who attended the Holiday Ball almost a century ago for which this old invitation was written, would doubtless have enjoyed themselves as much as (he guests al parlies given this month in the Rogue Valley. The invitation is the property of C. G. Pccblcr who found it in the attic of the Colver building in Phoenix where the hall was held and in which the Pccblers now operate an antique store and make their home. Found in 1927, the hand-written invitation was already a valuable memento of times gone by, and Mr. Pccblcr put it in a frame for safe keeping. Samuel Colver erected the building in 1854, and it was first used by the Indian agent. Later it. was the resi dence of the Colver family. The names of t lie "manigcrs" arc still known in the valley and Mrs. Atlon Anderson, iMcd fnrd. the former Agnes Colver, is a descendant of Samuel Colver.

QUANTITIES LIMITED Here's How To Keep On List By Goy Pauley NEW YORK (UPI)-Take note of a few New Year's resolut ions in fashion and you might find yourself on one of those best-drcssed lists in 19G4. Culled from all of the advice so freely given through the last year, from assorted authorities, this column has selected several which should help you arrive at least among your family and friends, if not on that nationally publicized roster of elegants. Resolve to keep, and use, a good clolhes brush al both home and office. Resolve not to pull at your girdle in public. Resolve to keep purse from becoming a catch-all in which paper clips, gummed labels, compact, check stubs, hair spray, pencils, memos to your self, Kleenex, a couple of safety pins, key chain, trading stamps, and charge plates fight for space among the other necessities, like billfold. Resolve not to look run down at the heels. Keep lifts in top shape, shoes shined. There are those you know who look at a foot and ankle first. Don't Be Faddist Resolve not to follow EVERY fad and lo remember that simplicity is the secret of elegance. But'allow the frivolity of one splurge, say on a zany fur hat or a pair of boots. For fashion should not be all that deadlv serious Resolve lo keep the white touches of blouses, collars and cuffs, stark white. No cosmetic smudge. No second day grime. Rcolve to restrain use of eye makeup. One masculine ob server we know complains that all the eyeshadow and eye pencil are turning women into a bunch of clowns. Resolve to unstack those hairdos. Overly-teased and con fused hair combs are outmoded. Dr. Giles To Speak For Society Dr. William B. Giles.
