4 By FREDDYE S. HENDERSON FOR ANP Mrs. Eisenhower And Fashion Now that there is a new Presi dent and a njew party in office, there could reasonably be much speculation as to the possible po litical import, but with a new First Lady in the person of Mamie, as she is fondly called, the fashion path seems well charted. Famous people are always watched by the fashion industry and by the public. Many have been known to launch any num ber of important fashion ideas. Witness the influence of Frank Sinatra on bow ties a few years ago; or the Windsor know in ties and the plus-fours popularized by the Duke of Windsor. What little girl did not yearn for Shirley Temple curls over a : decade ago? The Eisenhower , jacket, popularized by the Presi- . dent when he was a general in ( World War II, is still a fashion able gear. ( There have been many predic tions as to whether or not Mrs. ^ Eisenhower’s bangs will join the , “immortals.” My opinion is that those now famous bangs will j never rival the influence of Mme. Pompadour on past and present coiffures, but the new First Lady will set a fashion pace unrivalled for quite some time. Possessing a very youthful fig- ^ ure (she wears size twelve), she wears clothes with a flair and a conviction. Knowing her type, 1 (very feminine) she wears those * costumes which flatter her figure ( and personality, regardless of the latest fashion whim. For ex-i ample, it is reported that she looks best in full skirts, so she wears them often, and prefers them to the newly introduced sheaths. The millinery industry will be happy over the fact that Mamie has a fondness for hats. She re putedly carried fifty with her on the camapign train. This will be a boon to a facet of the fashion industry whose position has been becoming increasingly precarious. Mamie might conceivably be credited with preventing the women's millinery industry from suffering the fate of th^ men’s ha* business.

Powell-Bean Repeat'Vows Miss Robbie Lee Powell, daugh ter of the Rev. and Mrs. R. H. Powell became the bride of How ard Bean, son of Mrs. Cicero Johnson on January 25th, at the home of the bride’s parents with the bride’s father officiating. The bride selected traditional white for her gown, balerina length, fashioned of Chantilly lace over-satfh and nylon tulle. A sculptured lace bodice emphasized a key hole neck line covered with tulle and topped with a lace wing collar. Long fitted sleeves formed bridal points at the wrist. The bouffant skirt of tulle featured a wide lace inserted panel on either side. With this the bride wore a Juliet cap of Chantilly lace and pearl from which fell a dou ble elbow length veil of imported nylon illusion. « The bride carried a bouquet of white carnations centered with two white gardenias. Robbie Lee was attended by her sister, Miss Freddie Lou Powell who wore a yellow bar rerina length gown of nylon net over taffeta. She carried a bou quet of yellow carnations. Verne Wilson was best man. A reception followed the wedding. The couple will live in Denver, Colo. — Quinn Chapel News Next Sunday is Founders’ Day at Quinn Chapel. At the morning! service, Rev.

Household Scrapbook By Roberta Lee To Keep Plants Moist Here is a way to keep a plarit moist for several days without watering. Set a bowl of water above the level of the plant. Twist several strands of darning wool together, and soak them in water. Place one end of this wick at the bottom of the bowl and*let the other end hang over the plant. A steady drip will continue until the bowl is empty. Olives If the olive bottle is still half filled, put a small pinch of salt in the bottle, pour in a teaspoon of olive oil, replace the cork, and the remainder of the olives will keep nice and fresh. Burnt Spots To remove burnt spots on granite cover the spots with a teaspoonful of soda and a little water and heat it. Never scrape with a knife. Satin To renovate satin material, rub over the soiled spots with a cake composed of magnesia and pre- i pared chalk. Follow the grain of the goods. Let remain for sev- ■ eral hours and then rub off with. a soft cloth. Varnished Paper To clean wall paper that is varnished, melt a bar of yellow soap and pour into a pan of warm water. Use a soft white wash brush for applying, and do not have the brush too wet. Eggs To keep eggs fresh for a long time, rub each egg, while fresh, with either butter or glycerine. Warts To remove warts, dip a tooth pick in nitric acid and touch the w£rt not oftener than once every two days. Great care must be taken not to touch the surround ing flesh. Nosebleed , Some methods that have been found effective in checking nosebleed are to have the pa tient lie down with head partly raised. Roll rag or paper and force between ~ gum and upper lip to press real tight. Apply ice to back of neck. If the bleeding continues, plug up the nostril with gauze, cotton, or clean muslin, working pad firmly up into the nose with a penholder or similar object. Remove care fully when the bleeding stops. * 4 vy ||.DT * vaV6 fll IV MAnl_ — - 43% Bigger Picture for the Same Money! j99* :lwding Pod. To* ond Woirowdoo Bigger—yes—but that’s not all!
