The important thing is the pre-

fore the party. In doing this the
proprietor of the inn will be your
most helpful friend.
With him plan every detail Of
the menu, of the decoration, of
the music, of the budget for the
party. Leave no loose ends, even
if he gives you the impression
that you are being too meticu-

will be most successful if every
thing is definite.
If possible, assign the financial
responsibility to one member Of
your committee. Then she can

ment is satisfactory to the man.

cent added to the bill for service
charge, so that you won't have to
give individual tips to the walters.
However, the headwaiter should
be given a generous tip when you
make your arrangements he can
make or break the party by his
attention, or lack of it.
You and your committee receive
the guests as they arrive, and
make all necessary introductions.
If necessary, have one member of
your committee at or near the
door, to direct the guests to the
coat-rooms. With such a large
group you'll probably leave it to
the guests to find their places.
You may, if you wish, before the
party, suggest that they form their
own table-groups, and have the
tables marked accordingly.
Yes, you'll have to keep an "eagle
eye" on the service, to see that
everything is going according to
your planning.
Either after the party, or the
next day, if you can arrange that.
If you are planning to make a
little speech to thank the guests

this between the serving of the

INTERESTED IN ATHLETICS
One reason for their general at

for II Duce, is their interest in
athletics. Beginning with early
youth, girls are taught the value
of physical exercise and contact
with the out-of-doors.
Later these girls will travel to
other cities, or even abroad, to
take part in competitions and
games. And the common Ian
guage of sport will help them to
become better acquainted with
young men interested in similar
events.

or a generation ago-which has
deprived millions of women Of
husbands and children. Wouldn't

Famous Authority on Problems OF
LoUe and Marriage
It will be news to many Of
us in this country that Musso-

grow a crop of vine-clinging
girls. We supposed that, like
his neighbor, Hitler, and be-
fore him the Kaiser, he was

ing, church and children"
only, for ladies.
But a distinguished Italian
woman journalist now touring
these United States has given in
terviews and written stories to the
effect that the clinging vine Is
out, as far as the men Of Italy
are concerned. In fact, and para
doxically, If a girl clings, she can't
hold a man.
To understand this startling
change in the lives Of Italian
women at the present time, as
compared with only 20 years ago,
one must realize the economic
change that has come in that
time, not only in Italy but all over
the world.
The necessity Of making their
own living has freed girls from
immemorial fetterS in practically
all civilized countries.
WOMAN'S DESTINY
In the old days there was but
one destiny for women-marriage.
BY this she was weighed on the
scales Of success or failure. But
if war makes marriages 1mpos-

homes and children for them are
beside the mark.

Dear Donna Grace: l am a
woman of so and l feel so self
conscious when l talk about my
own beauty problems, but / am
so unhappy with the way I look
and how 1 used to look. My
friends tell me that / am just
right and / shouldn't worry
about myself, but 1 am still
wearing long hair, and they all
have their hair bObbed. I look
older than any of them and l
am almost the youngest one in
the crowd.
what I would like to do Is
to have my hair cut to a nice
length that wouldn't look like
too much of a change at once,
and then when they get used to
it 1 could have it short like
theirs.
you have always been so
kind and understanding with
others, 1 know you can tell me
what to do and 1 will follow
your advice. MRS. d. H."
Dear Mrs. D. H.: You really
have no problem at all. The thing
for you to do is to go out to a
smart salon and have them give
you a nice becoming hair style.
There is no advantage in going at
it gradually. You know it will
improve your looks and make you
look much younger, so do what
you think is best for yourself.
You will find your friends will ad-
mire your new independence and
your smart appearance.
Dear Donna Grace: When I
do my hair at home, it never
looks as nice as when I have it
done in the shops. 1 can't get the
first wave to set right, and the
others are not nice and smooth
as they do them. What shall l do?
"FLOSSIE M"
Miss Flossie NJ: 1t is not sur
priSing to hear that you are not
so good in arranging your hair
as the experts are. It is a very
difficult piece of work to make a
nice smooth wave. These operators
have been taught by clever in
structorS, and then they spend
weeks and sometimes months just
practicing before they can do a
really nice wave. 1t is only through
practice that one can do a sat-
iSfactory wave. However, there
are a great many girls who seem
to learn very easily and do nice
looking hair styling.
Your first wave is the most i'm
portant one, and if you do not
start it correctly, the others will
be wrong. You must have the
hair combed out smoothly before
and after you apply the wave
lotion. Then begin the wave as
you know may be done without a
lotion by using warm water to
wet the hair.
Begin the wave on the heavy
side of the part by combing the
hair straight back. Then when
you have decided where the first
ridge is to be, place the fore
finger of the left hand just above
this line and make a slight pres.
sure while you draw the hair
toward the forehead. When
there is distinct clean line
from the crown to the front,
place the finger just below the
ridge with enough pressure to hold
it in place and repeat the opera
tion, but let the comb direct the
hair towards the back instead
of forward as in the first wave.
For conformity, this second
wave may be carried all the way
around the back and to the other
side, where it will form the line
Of the first wave. The rest Of
the hair is done in the same way

her deep affection for me.

understand why you should have
these ups and downs. The ups
are understandable, but the downs
arc difficult to grasp. When your
decree becomes final, you and the

your former wife and children,
your conscience should be easier
