Monday, May 11, in Mrs. Oscar Dudleys home in the Mound. Potluck lun cheon will be served. ModernDress By Mary Hampton Write to Miss Hampton for style advice. We are leaving by auto May 15 for Seattle and possibly Canada.

We will stay at motels, camp perhaps two or three times and will make relatives home our central point in Seattle. For traveling our first questions are always about the weather. Middle May in Seattle and Canada will mix warm days with cool plus many cold nights. And it will inevitably rain. Next we know that visiting always necessitates more variety in clothes.

When Mrs. starts up the highway she will be wearing a basic wool casual suit in which she will motor and sight see for the entire trip. There will be several washable cotton shirt-blouses to go with it and a slip-on sweater. In the back of the car will be a sturdy wool top coat, and these will take care of all variations in weather. A grey plaid suit with red line is on hand, also a black and white top coat.

Add white blouses, red play shoes, a huge red bag. Once at her relatives home in Seattle, she will unpack and press her best spring ensemble for all general wear by day there. This seems to be a light wool coat in black plus a black print dress with matching turban. Black town shoes and bag. There should also be a dressier frock for possible bridge parties, and I suggest a splashy black and red print which will go with the same coat.

Maybe a red straw cartwheel and red dressy sandals. Evening clothes are an individual question but I do know the velvet dress Mrs. has on hand is much too wintry for May. For tennis at the country club there will be a tailored blouse to match the white shorts already on hand. A red knitted sport jacket sweater for after the game.

Meantime a red and white polka dot shirtmaker already on hand will sit right in with this jacket and the red play shoes. I think I would also take two more sport frocks for breakfast at home and motor sight seeing trips. For the camp on the way home denim slacks, a giddy cotton shirt, sturdy outdoor shoes. ticularly well when served. Fruits for pies or for other cooking require no sugar when they are canned.

In making jellies, jams and marmalades, sugar acts as a preservative and gives the fruit its usual consistency. It is not possible to make these products entirely without sugar, but is possible to cut down on the usual equal parts of sugar and fruit, and to get a somewhat less sweet but entirely satisfactory product. Another way of stretching present sugar supplies isto can fruit juices for jellies without sugar at all, and to make up small quantities of jelly through the fall and early winter as it is needed. Any surplus of fruit juices for which sugar may not be availahle later can always be used in fruit drinks or for such things as pudding sauces.

The second Sunday in May on which to pay emphasized tribute to our mothers was made official by congress in 1914. Prior to that, it had been a matter of local church observance, begun when Anna Jarvis prevailed upon a Philadelphia church to hold a special service in 1907 in honor of her mothers death a year before. Back in ancient days, man began worshiping the mysterious and blessed force in nature that renews the growing things of the earth. This force was recognized as feminine; it was called Mother of the Universe, Great Mother of the Gods, Mother-Goddess. Temples were built to Mother-Goddess, offerings brought to her altar and devotion showed through music and dancing.

With Christianity, men thought no longer of Mother-Goddess but of Mother Church. On Mid-lent Sunday, the fourth Sunday in Lent, it became the custom to take a gift to the altar of the church in which one had been baptized. But, as always, men could not think of a heavenly mother without thinking of an earthly mother as well, and sometime before the 17th century, Midlent Sunday in England became known as Mothering Sunday, the day to visit mother and bring her a remembrance or trinket. Paying such a visit was called going a-mothering. Norma Louise (Cason) and Edwin Champlm gave gifts to the friends who attended them at their wedding last Sunday.

The bride had pretty compacts for her attendants while the bridegroom presented his best man and ushers with wallets. When Mr. and Mrs. Bert C. Finley were on their motor trip they drove 55 miles one time through a heavy snow storm.

It was near Flagstaff, Ariz. Mrs. Finley said they experienced just about every kind of weather there is and missed that cyclone in Oklahoma by happenstance. The road they were going to take from Missouri would hfive put them in Jhe Pryor area at the time the cyclone struck. The advice of a friend sent them along another highway and thus kept them out of danger.

Carolyn Barnard and more than 100 of her classmates at Stephens college, Columbia, are studying Shakespeare in a decidedly pleasant manner. Not so long ago that many young women went to St. Louis to attend a performance of Maurice Evans and Judith Anderson in Macbeth. Purpose of the all-day excursion was to give the young women the opportunity to see Shakespearian drama in its finished form. Carolyn, who is a junior at the college, is the daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. Morris H. Barnard. It always gives added color and a personal touch to a play if one knows something of its author, and St. Catherines academy students, especially the seniors, will be in terested in some background we learned about Lindsay Barbee, who penned the lines they recited so efficiently the other day when they presented The Ladys Slipper.

Mrs. Barbee lives in Denver, and for years has been writing and selling her work, even though with the job of editing The Crescent, magazine of Gamma Phi Beta, national sorority. Mrs. Barbee was the magazines editor for 25 years; the position is now held by Airdrie (Mrs. Roy) Pinkerton of Ventura.

The Holy Cross pupils have given a number of Mrs. Barbee's plays; in fact, most of her work is for schools and universities. She writes constantly for the Denver university and womens clubs and generously does special things for celebration there. To our way of thinking, editing a magazine OR writing plays is a definite accomplishment, and to do both 4 4 4 Continued honors are being conferred upon our Charlotte Dun-shee. She now has an honorary membership in the Eugene Field society, a natioal association of authors and journalists.

This distinction has also been conferred upon Edgar Lee Masters, Rupert Hughes, bert Frost, Alfred Noyes, Joseph Auslander and others as noteworthy in the field of literary art. Charlotte has been striding rapidly ahead in poetry and playwriting, as well as doing popular things on the radio. She has also had parts in local theatrical presentations. A flacon of perfume and any number of orchids to you, Charlotte. Hazel Lee Banker and Ruth Putnam Mason, who spoke at the Ventura Players-Guild meeting last night, are weekend house-guests at the Dunshee home.

They will all go to Los Angeles Monday and on Wednesday, Miss Mason will appear with Charlotte on her radio broadcast. Miss Mason is opening a Show Shop in Hollywood, similar to the one she organized in New York City. It will serve as a clearing house for talented people. 4 4 4 We cribbed this from Rita Scoles Chatterbox which appears every Thursday in the Oxnard paper. Dont know whether it is original with her or not but we ethically credit her with using it.

After all this introduction you are probably expecting a serious dissertation on a problem of life. It isnt; dont run away yet. When God passed out the brains, we thought He said trains we missed ours. When God passed out the looks we thought He said books and we didnt want any. When God passed out ears, we thought He said beers and we got two long ones.

When God passed out noses, we thought He said roses and asked for a large, red one. When God passed out legs, we thought He said kegs and ended up with two round ones. When God passed out hips, we thought He said lips well, its just too bad our hearing wasnt better at the time. Arent we the one? 4 4 4 With registering for war ration books just around the corner behind us, this bit of information from the division of information, office for emergency management, is designed to allay fears of home canners. Essential material and equipment will be available, according to the PRM consumer division, and an immediate allowance for canning of five pounds of sugar for every person in the family will be made.

The CPA also states there will be a fairly adequate supply of jars, jar rings and tops, tin cans and pressure cookers, although on the latter, it is suggested this is the sort of equipment that can readily be shared by several families. Home economics equipment and laboratories in schools and colleges, which are not otherwise used during vacation months, might be put to good use as community centers in canning the nations surplus of fruits and vegetables. More suggestions: Although fruit keeps its shape and color better when canned in a sugar syrup, it is possible to can it with no sugar at all, and to sweeten the fruit as it is used. But since some sugar will be available, homemakers might well plan ahead, and save their sugar-canning ration for those fruits which they are anxious to have look par- Red marked the calendars of all Ventura Girl Scouts and council members is May 22 when the annual Court of Awards of the Scouts will be held in the Civic auditorium. As announced by Mrs.

Reginald Baptiste. Girl Scout leader, the court will be preceded by a potluck dinner for parents, Scouts and interested people in the community. Each troop will carry out some phase of the Girl Scout theme at its table. An exhibit of the work done during the year by the troops will be on display. There will be a camp fire skit and a formal ship meeting by' the Mariner group.

Mrs. Ed Lewis, program committee chairman, reported that 81 girls had passed their tests for badges which will be presented at the Court of Awards. Details of th-is event were discussed at the Girl Scout council meeting yesterday morning with Mrs. Carl Froerer, commissioner, presiding. Mrs.
