 About party ideas -I never struggle for them. If I get an idea, I give @ party. That's what 1t amounts to. All I do Is, as the Yogis say, go into a state of "sus- pended animation" and if the Idea comes, well and good.
 A hostess ought to remember one thing about Q party: "Impor- tant" people are dangerous.
 They are not flexible enough to become merged in the general give-and-take of social merri- ment. They have been so busy being Important" that they've all too often forgotten the natural childish notion of how to play. The enjoyment to be found in parties does not please them. The greater they are, the more aloof they become, until finally they really only enjoy their own so- ciety.

roid gland, hyperthyroidism. exop- thalmic goitre or "toxic" goitre as the scheming quacks like to call it- they know how that term toxic" impresscs the wiseacre public. In actual practice. however, the mass iodin treatment proved as effective against exopthalmic goitre as against simple goitre-the number of goitre operations in the req di- minished noticeably. according to hospital statistics. Iodin, therefore, may correct not only underactiyity but also overactivity of the thyroid gland. u.t
 Likewise vitamins, particularly vitamin B (probably c and D en- nance its effect). may correct an abe normal craving for refined carbohy- drate as well as poor appetite. In actual practice thousands of persons have found that they are satisfied with considerably less carbohydrate when they get adequate daily rations of these vitamins. We know that vitamin B promotes better metabol- ism or utilization of carbohydrate, so that the individual burns it instead of stornig an excess in his blood and tissues.

Another thing - almost all real lions hate to be stared atl
 Fun or Celebrity?
 So, if somebody is planning a party, she must usually make up her mind whether to have fun or have a celebrity. If she chooses the celebrity, she must all too often give up the idea of her guests really enjoying them- selves thoroughly, unless they get pleasure out of being in the same place as a famous person -- and that can be Q very much over- rated pleasure, assure you.
 No. The perfect party should be made up of different ingredi- ents people from every walk of life, but not too many from the same playground. A party, like & cocktail, must be well shaken.
 Unlike a cocktail. 1t must be served "hot". That, as much as anything else, made the cow party the success 1t was, And 1t gives a very fine idea of how some of my parties come into be- ing.
 Enter the Cow
 After Grace Moore, the opera and film star, made "The King Steps Out" she was violently indignant over COW. She had had to. milk that COW about $50 times before they got the proper shct, and naturally, that COW being normal, the milk was more often glycerine than the real thing.
 It happened that shortly after ward, Grace came to New York to sail, with her handsome Span ish husband, Valentine Perara, on the same boat on which had taken passage for the Riviera, where we both spend the summer. How she ranted on the subject of cowsl As her hate was ex- pended on this hapless beast, my admiration and belief in the COW was doubled, just to make Q con- troversy. Then, aboard ship, we were both interviewed by re- porters.
 I always long to say something outrageous when they ask, Why are you going abroad?"

 Party Idea

real milk. but real champagne as wellI"
 Excited and thrilled, exclairn- ed, "Send me that COW at once." It proved as lifelike as any COW could possibly be. It moved its head back and forth, and gave forth the most beautiful milk and, of course, also iced sparkling Moet & Chandon champagne. I called 1t the "Moet" COW instead of the moo" COW, and everybody tried to be milk and bar maids at once.
 What is the most familiar sight in a farm yard, wonderedp The family wash - red flannels and petticoatsl Could I produce them anywhere, to hang up with the family wash? After some search, they were found.
 The family washing hung in the Grand Jade Ball Room of the Waldorf was picture that is hard to duplicate.
 The Final Touch
 It was Len Hanna of Cleveland, rich bachelor farmer, lunching with me at the Colony Restau- rant, who asked, "Why in thun- der don't you have a hog caller? know the very man = champion hog caller of Ohio. If you want him, I will get him."
 "You bet I do." I said. This will be something new"
 So Tom Bevington, champion hog caller of Ohio had his first party in the great metropolis and he was the real star of my barn yard party.
 No one knew of this little stunt, and many of the charming, beau- tifully gowned women of New York society were down on the floor as milk maids, languidly discussing their Schiaparelli and Molyneux frocks at the time the hogs were to appear from one end of the ball room, and Tom Bev- ington was to call them from the other. gently advised these la dies to move Q little out of the way, but they disdained to budge, Then, to their dismay twelve hus- ky hogs raced squealing to- ward them, eager to reach the se- ductive masters voice." which they must obey. This was cer- tainly an unexpected and divert ing incident.
 also had a whole town come to my party that night. It is not customary. I know, to include a whole town in your guest list. But this was the self-invited town of Saugerties, N. Y. They had heard of my party and offered to present a real hill billies band They had lovely costumes and tunes and funny old instruments that had been handed down from their Dutch forebears. One was the doctor, another the dentist, another the Hetty dren of the town. Fathers, mothers, children and e few grandmothers. They made e most wonderful group which added more distinction to my party than ayone in the social register.
 You can see what c big thing grew out of a very odd Idea - and 1t was one of the most successful of all my diversions.
 Ideas are worth more than money in entertaining - so "on with the party"
 The End.

 So ] conferred with my friend, Capt. Willy, who, with superb dis- regard of practical considerations, assured me that 1t could be done.
 I gave my party in honor of Mrs. William Randolph Hearst and Mrs. James Corrigan, and asked everybody to come in coun- try clothes or overalls.
 then looked at the magnificent jade ballroom, the last word in ornate and gilded splendor, with great marble pillars, mirrors, chandeliers.
 My heart sank at first sight. It was as far removed from a farm yard as could be imagined. was faced with the greatest job 1 ever tackled, to transform this ball room into an old fashioned, homely farm yard.

 If people ask me about my philosophy of parties, I must answer that I'm not sure that I have any. But of one thing I am certain. No one should give a party without a new angle to it.

 Well, the reporters were pug zled by my long peroration, but one very hardy individual said, "Aw, cut it out! What is your next party going to be, Elsa?"

 This incident naturally was quite forgotten, and. when I came back in November, I was as free as air and as far from COW thoughts as a ranch hand from the West when he strikes Broad way.
 But did those reporters allow me to remain free from COW thoughts?
 The moment arrived. ting linga-ling went the telephone.
 When is your COW party go- ing to be?"
 May we photograph you with your cow?"
 Does your COW like New York?"
 To all this I answered that my COW certainly was up in the Tow CT with me. And then. being an honest soul.

There was instantly wild melee.

at the puck, but Jones, following
up his first shot, reached into the
mad scramble and flicked the
puck expertly into the clear.
1t was directly in front Of the

goalkeeper flung himself forward
to smother it. He and Jones
reached the puck together, and
the force of their impact sent
Jones to his knees. But his stick

into the net.
