On the Fashion Beam

Tulip: This simple flower
name seems to be suffering with
a split personality, at least as
far as its place in the fashion
lexicon is concerned. Last year
the tulip line meant a coat skirt
that was gently flared from just
above the waist by means of tri-
angular inSetS. This year, the
tulip has turned upside down;
the news from Paris tells us of a
tulip silhouette with width at
the top. The skirt is narrow,
the waist tiny, and outward
curve starts under the bustline
and continues to the top of the
arms. This width is accented
by pulled sleeves, Off shoulder
effects and draped collars.

big-game hunters from Arizona,

their best hounds, a live noun
tain lion, and color slides and
movies of hunting mountain
lions and jaguars in Mexico,
Central America and South
America. These will be shown at
the Community Center tonight
and tomorrow night.
According to Phil Connors,
honorary secretary of the Mid
dleburg Hunt, the brothers Lee
were called from the West last
year to track down a predatory
animal that was gobbling up the
livestock in Tazewell County, Va.
Local hunters had tracked the
animal for weeks without getting
a shot at it. The brothers had
it in the bag in four hours .

knows enough about big-game

Ivy Priest to Receive Two Honorary Degrees This Summer
Seven Copito Bocheors Stoqe ouse Pory at Rehoboth

United States Treasurer Ivy
Priest will be presented with
an honorary doctor of laws
degree on July "a by Rider
College in Trenton. N. j. Later
this summer, she will get a de-
gree in business administra-
ton from Bryant College in
Rhode Island.
These are not the first hon.
orary degrees to be bestowed
upon the live-wire feminine
treasurer but unlike most re-
cipients of such honors, Ivy
has no ABB. or BIS. after her
name as a starter. She had
just entered her freshman
year at the University of Utah
when her father was incapac-
itated by an accident and
Ivy had to go to work. Like
those people, though, who
yearn the most for a college
education, she has more than
compensated for its lack since
then.
Ivy is undoubtedly one of
the few people anybody knows
who can carry on an intelli-
gent telephone conversation
at the same time she's writing
a speech, reading a notice,
signing a directive, etc. Ma
poleon was supposed to have
been able to dictate 20 differ
ent letters at the same time, a
feat generally regarded as
phenomenal. But Ivy doesn't
see anything remarkable in
the fact that she can do about
three or four additional things
while carrying on a two-way
conversation.
Face to face with the tele-
phone, Napoleon might have
regarded it, as most French do,
as a hostile instrument and
thus met his Waterloo earlier
than scheduled. But the de.
lightful Mrs. Priest cut her
employment teeth as a tele-
phone operator and wouldn't
give anything for that expert
ence. Trained to clock one
call, while talking on another
and, ringing on a circuit for
another and writing down de-
tails of still another, the boss
of the greenbacks had a tele-
phone headset installed when
she took her new job so she
can still do five things at
once.
