8 ‘ I Friday, April 25, 1958 THE NEW BERN MIRROR, NEW BERN, N. C. PafeeB Paris Model Now Craven Farm Wife From Paris model to a tobaccq hand on her husband’s Cove City farm. That’s the success story of Mavis Christine Ipock. It IS a success story, for in her marriage to Ray and her role as a Craven County housewife, Chris tine has found a joy and content ment that fame as an internation ally known model failed to bring her. London born, she little dreamed of coming to America, and in her wildest imagination couldn’t have foreseen the rural life that was to be a new experience for her. So much was the charming and completely modest blonde in de mand when she launched her ca- Queen Elizabeth's Coronation was a home town event for the future Cove City farm wife.

She was selected by the greatest of them all—Dior, to exhibit his creations to their full advantage. “He was a very nice person,” Christine recalled in the midst of this exclusive Mirror interview. “He wasn’t excitable or tempera mental, and it was a pleasure to work for him.” She got to Paris in a roundabout way. Her parents, the late Dr. Le onard Harwood and Dr. Fannie Harwood, were both dental sur geons. During the London blitz her father was in the service of his country, and Christine helped her mother in typical war-time British fashion. “After the war,” she says, “I de cided to try for a modeling career in Paris.” Fearful that she might encounter parental disapproval, she explained that she had • a desire to learn French. True to her word, she did learn Erench, but success as a model came with it. Her physical dimen sions—35-25-37, coupled with a beautiful face that reflected her cultural background, were all that any designer could ask for. She traveled all over the Con tinent for personal appearances, was a familiar sight on television, made Hearst Metrotone and other newsreels, and had photos of her self wired all over the world, in cluding the United States, by major press services. Returning to London, she decided to visit the Spanish Riding School at Wells, Au^ria. Ray Ipock was stationed there with the U. S. Army. They met and became friends. “It wasn’t a case of love at first sight,” she readily admits. “We were just friends, and when I left Wells I invited him to visit in our home if he ever got to London.” The day came, but Christine says Dan Cupid didn’t shoot any deva stating arrows in the direction of Either of them. “I never expected to see him again when he left for the United States,” the ' present Mrs. Ipock said of Ray. It was a yen for travel, rather than romance, that brought Chris tine to America some time later. “I had friends in New York,” she says, “but I knew Ray in North Carolina, and had other friends in Mississippi.” Landing in New York, she visited acquaintances there, and then head ed for the Old North State.

Three weeks after she got to Cove City, she and Ray got married. Three years later they are still happily wed. Christine loves rural life in Cra ven County. “The people are friend ly and kind,” she observed, “and living in the country has made me appreciate th^ wonders of Nature and given me a constant awareness of God’s wonderful gifts.” Among other things, she marvels at the fireflies, or lightning bugs, as we call them hereabouts. “There aren’t any fireflies in England,” she revealed. So Southern is Chris tine now that she even craves col- lards.
