Thursday, March 15, 1945 SOCIETY By HELEN GRAFTON HINEMAN Phone 2206 Design Principles Told Members Of Ebell Section The difference between a handmade and a homemade dress is in the little personal, finishing touches Donald L. Riggs, AM1/c, fabrication manager at the Los Alamitos Naval Air Station, told members of the home and garden Section of the Ebell club Monday afternoon when the group gathered to hear him discuss design, its principles and construction. The speaker is the son of a new member, Mrs. Bertha Riggs and during the afternoon he created, on a plastic model, a dress designed for her. The rapidity and sureness with which he worked proved a further fascination for his interested audience. In illustrating the difference between style and fashion he said that tailored women are always dressed stylishly but not necessarily fashionably. Members were given an opportunity to ask questions and in the resulting answers he was able to tell them many worthwhile short cuts and helpful hints and show them how a homemade dress can be raised to the level of a "handmade" dress that is always a favorite among exacting and well dressed women. The speaker was introduced by Mrs. Gene Frantz, leader. Mrs. Cortez Hoskins announced that Mrs. H. D. Newkirk will give a book review, “Sarah and I” by Sylvia Brockway at the book section meeting on March 26. It had formerly been announced that the review would be given by Mrs. Faye Kern Schulz.

Newkirk of Anaheim for members of the Northern Orange County Pan-Hellenic association who met in La Habra at the home of Ruth Marie Gruber. In her own charming manner Mrs. Newkirk told the story of the little girl who was an only child and how to keep from loneliness, she invented the imaginative character of "Sarah" for her playmate and how Sarah was forever at her side after that.

Judge Thompson Is Guest Speaker At Lions Meeting Superior Court Judge Raymond Thompson was guest speaker at last Friday's noon luncheon meeting of the Anaheim Lions club, entertaining the members with an informal talk about his hobby of collecting antique cars. Dr. Wm. McCarthy was program chairman and introduced the speaker. Judge Thompson is a former president of the Fullerton Lions club. His favorite "antique" is a 1906 Maxwell car which had travelled 260,000 miles before he bought it several years ago. He keeps the car in good repair and often makes trips in the roadster, which naturally attracts considerable attention wherever he goes. He also has an aged Stanley Steamer which is in running order. Referring to the origin of the automobile he recalled that the first steam-driven car was built as early as 1769. In 1810 automobiles of a kind were built in England but through the influence of the horse owners a "red flag law" was passed, requiring a man to walk ahead of an automobile carrying a red flag, and at night a red lantern. This law put the automobiles out of business and it was not until recent years that they were finally perfected and put to general use. The Lions were well entertained by his discourse. Dr. John Boege, president of the Orange County Council of Lions clubs, announced the next joint meeting to be held at Santa Ana, in the basement of the Masonic building, on April 19. At this meeting the students' speaking Lions also gave a similar amusement to the Boy Scouts. Frank Tausch as installing or formally inducted Will Thornecraft into the club and new member.
