BY BOB ALLEN

There was excitement galore for
the fans when the five bout card
was run off at the arena last night
and a capacity house was on hand
to greet the return match between
Bobby Pacho and Santiago Gorilla.
The decision went to the little scrap
per from Panama. making them all
even in their series, Bobby having
been given the nod the last time the
two boys met here. Just as their
former meeting gave rise to no end
of argument as to the actual winner,
so did the fight last night and there
are many who Will claim that the
referee would not have been far
wrong had he declared the affair q
draw
Gorilla acted much as he did on

Planning a Dinner Party
Without Maid Service

Is chosen with/,asy service IN mind.
In this Objection too. a great and
helpful change has occurred. We
used TO eat SO much moro than we
do nowadays. Memories OF food
economies during the war. faint
though they be. did leave an impress

Of recent years. have made n sweep

at formal parties. n no longer sees
a procession OF endless courses. At
least seven used TO be the rule-to-
day there are less. And the average
dinner party which is served with
the aid OF M maid or none. Is ade-
quately planned with only four or
five courses. Also. the decline OF
wine-drinking in the home has dis
pensed with a troublesome though
pleasant 1ob-serving the right
variety OF wines with the right
courses at the right temperature.
The chief item 10 consider in CIV

charm from such accessories that
A woman with a long thin neck
could give it a more rounded and
attractive line by wearing the
choker type Of beads and that the
short thick neck could be slender
lied by ornaments that fell into
long oval or pointed lines.
I had thought OF these details
however as subtle aides to beauty
and charm rather than as the char
acter-changing, beauty destroying
things they can be If carelessly or
unwittingly selected.
This fact was brought home TO
me when I had those photographs
taken while wearing a pearl choker.
A choksr that in itself Is a rather
beautiful strand Of perfectly
matched pearls.
Worn by a woman who has a
rather longish neck and a bit too
thin, that very same choker would

Placed around my throat, which is
only Of average length and inclined
to roundness, my neck became
squat, my cheek bones spread out,
my face became hard. I'm not ex-
~aggerating one bit -. not only the
pictures but the plates were de-
stroyed-and quick, too, you can
bet.
Long, dangling eardrops, which
are very popular just now, turn the
long, slender face into hawkish,
sharp lines. So watch for that,
and If your face is rather more
oval than is usual or your nose a
bit longer or larger than the aver
age, choose hoop or button ear
rings. IF your face is wide, the
long earrings and a strand of beads
that fall at least four inches below
the base Of the neck will slenderize
the face.

OF at least three persons-a cook.

The cook cooked, and did nothing
else, the waitress waited at table. and

There's much 10 be said for this
method. Service is smooth. and the
hostess is relatively free 10 enjoy her
own party. The only obstacle to such
pleasant management Is the fact that
most families can't afford 10 hire
three servants every time they want
10 give a dinner party. Indeed. ever
fifteen or twenty years ago. when
there was no restriction on immigra-
ton and plenty OF eager young girls
came from Europe for domestic SER
vice here. the majority OF Americans
could not afford servants. Only one
family in every eight had any kind
OF a regular houseworker. The other
seven depended on mother - and
maybe the girls helped a bit.
But they gave dinner parties any
way. and often. although these fes.
tivities usually left the hostess too
tired and busy TO enjoy herself. To-
day, the woman who gives a dinner
party isn't satisfied with the role OF
