closely.
The one who should have
been the star Of the dancing
girls, couldn't come, because
her father was against It.
Geraldine Chaplin would
have loved to relax with a
waltz or twist from her re-
hearsals for the Cinderella"
ballet to take place In De-
cember at the Theater des
Champs Elysees. It's her first
time In Paris, nearly on her
own. except for her very seri-
Gus goveTness Miss Ford. who
shields her from all publicity.
A couple Of professional
dancers s h ocked some old
patrons at Maxim's, but for q
moment only. It was on their
request that the famous res
taurant agreed-for once-to
install several television
screens for the diners. Zizi
Jeanmaire and Roland Petit
had asked their friends to
admire their first Tv show
Occur de Paris" at Maxim's.
They made q double en-
trance the little
screen as well as at the res
taurant, Just at the right mo-
ment.
Loves TO Dance
Dame Margot Fonteyn is
still in town and she too
loves to dance other steps
than the ballet. At the New
Jimmy's" she a dmire d the
Duke Of Windsor trying the
surf. That was by night.

(Lord Snowdon in his pri-
vate life, husband Of Princess
Margare ID had taken pic

Prince Constantin of
Greece was in Paris with his
little sister Irene to show her

that together they have
danced all night!

Citizens heading in and out
Of the Alexandra National
Bank are distracted from fl
nance these days by an unu-
sual exhibit in the lobby.
Thirty watercolor figures,
each in q separate frame,
lean across large display PAN
els and tug at the viewers
memory with an oddly fami-
liar wooden look.
They are paintings Of old
ships figureheads, the work
Of B ertha Dougherty, and
comprise the only such col
lection In the country as far
as the artist has been able to
determine.
She was not intending q
first" or even q collection,
when she started the project
a decade ago, Mrs. Dougher-
ty said in an interview last
week. II Just drifted into this
as I do into almost every
thing"

old and a resident Of Alexan-
dria for the past Is years.

me feel Welcome" she re-
called.
The research she did there
led to further research at the
Library Of Congress and later
to Q painting tour Of naval
museums along the East
Coast. Within several months
she'd read volumes on the
subject and produced IS wat
ercolors, careful "non-glar-
orized" renderings Of those
she liked best.
The Spirits
The use Of figureheads,
Mrs. Dougherty says, goes
back to the ancient Morse
men, who put fierce-looking
beasts on the bows Of their
vessels ito shoe away evil
spirits. The figures were the
spirits Of the vessels them
selves"
iceland made a law that
any ship with q dangerous
wild animal on It's bow
couldn't come into port. 1t
was feared that the spirit
might get off and threaten
the population" she said.
After finishing the figure
head paintings, Mrs. Dough-
erty put them away in a
portfolio and went on to other
things-more painting, writ
ing and etching, her chief
creative pursuits since her
minister husband died in
1895. II had Just done them
for the heck Of 1t. 1t never
entered my head that any
body would be especially In
terested," she explained.
A poet friend who saw
them some years later and
felt 1t a waste that they
hadn't been shown, brought
the paintings to the attention
Of the Seamen'S Bank for
Savings in New York City.
Exhibits were held in the
banks three branches last
summer.
A Farewell
Once prompted to display
them, Mrs. Dougherty
thought she might put them
on sale. Asked by q curator
friend and adviser how she
would price them, she said,
"Oh maybe $50 each" He
quickly talked her out Of that
counseling her to sell the 80
paintings he selected only
as a collection, preferably to
a museum and for consider

Paris Is full Of 1t. Firssabout
the big event Of the week
this years official Deb
utante BAH. It took place in
the Palais de Chaillot, which
is much bigger than the OPP
era where It was staged last
year. II had to be moved for
it did cost much more and
the money was hard to come
by. The contributing COM
m ercial firms didn't think
the publicity was worth big
donations and the Paris Fes-
tival Committee, which spon-
sors the affair, had TO find
the necessary funds.
The ''Debs" are always in
vited and their dancers, too
(some say they should get
paid for it,. but other
guests" had to pay UP to $50
for their tickets.
Finally the big house was
filled and all went well, only
there was no royal highneSs
accepting the carefully stud
led curtsies from the 400
white gowned and diadem
crowned girls.
Princess Sixte de Bourbon
Parma, who had promised to
preside over the ball, had to
cancel her appearance due to
the death Of her father, the
Duke of Doudeauville. A sim
pie Duchess-La Duchesse de
Sa bra n-Ponteves took her
place and the aristocratic as
pect was saved.
Not Selective
Older Paris dowagers are
raising their eyebrows sug-
costing that the ball is not
what 1t used to be and the
selection Of the debutantes is
not strict enough. However,

Chamber
News

Once again the annual Side
walk Bazaar proved very pop
ular with both the customers
and merchants. While it is far
from a spectacular promotion,
everyone seems to enjoy it.
The next promotion is sched-
uled for October 25 and 26.
The extent and type of promo
ton will be largely determin-
ed by the amount of money
available in the Merchants
Promotion Fund. Because the
budget of the Chamber of
Commerce would allow for
only $500, the merchants have
started a fund of their own
to be used entirely for promo
tions.
Congratulations to Secretary
Dolf BoSshard of the Richland
County Fair Board for a very
attractive Fair Book. 1t re-
minds one that the fair is only
a little more than a month
away. Dolf tells us that he
hopes to present the best fair
ever and he certainly hasn't
let uS down in the past.
Just a note to thank all
those who called us prior to
the Moose Convention with
rooms to rent. AS it turned out
the hotels and motels were
able to carry the load, but it
is certainly a good feeling to
know you have a margin.
While the State Moose Con-
vention was not as large as
had been hoped and predicted,
it seemed as if everyone was
having a good time. The plan
ned entertainment was very
good and evens the unplanned
had its spectacular moments.
Hats off to a bunch of Moose
who worked very hard N
preparing for this convention
and its success.
This coming weekend finds
Fairview in gala dress cele-
brating their annual Old Tim
ers Days. Best of luck to you
and we hope we can get down.
At $50 pm. ON Thursday
the umpires will call ''Play
Ball'' to start the first official
Babe Ruth Baseball tourney
ever held in Sidney. There has
been a lot of time and work
gone into the preparation for
this tourney. Won't you give
it your support? You won't be
sorry because you will prob
ably see some of the most ex-
citing ball games of your life.
Let's make "Take Me Out to
the Ballgame" our official song
for this week.
