When Frances Farmer arrived in
New York, instead of pausing pO-
liteIy to let all the news phOtogra-
pliers take pictures of her, she
rushed off to Mount KiscO upstate
to go in rehearsal for her first stage
engagement. Four nights later I
saw her performance and sudden
ly found myself wanting to burst
into cheers. Playing role quite
unlike any she has done on the
screen, a role simply made to Or
der for Lupe Velez, she displayed
cat-like grace of movement, voice
musically rich, and great variety
of moods.
Ozzie Nelson and his popular
radio orchestra are currently ap-
pearing at the Aston roof in New
York, but soon he will move his
activities to Hollywood so as to be
near his wife, Harriet Hilliard, who

RKO studios. Ozzie is the hero of
all boy scouts who want to make a

London as the youngest Eagle scout.

Break AtUay Gently.

n EAR Mrs. Post: When / first
~ began working in this Office
several of the girls invited me to go
to lunch with them and tried to
make things pleasant for me. But
now don't seem to be able to get
away from them ever and find
that their interests are not mine. I
would rather not lunch with them
but seem to be getting deeper into
the habit. What can you suggest
for me to do?
Answer: Since you can not very
well tell them you do not want to sit
with them, the only thing can think
of to suggest is that you make other
engagements for yourself at noon,
at first occasionally and later on
habitually.

Serving Young Guests.

n EAR Mrs. Post: i would like to
- give an evening surprise birth
day party for my son, asking a
dozen or so of his high school
friends. Everything is to be SIM
pie and the evening will probably
be spent in playing a variety of
games, as our house does not af-
ford space for dancing. For re-
freshments, would chicken sand
witches and milk be sufficient? 1
know all the young people drink
milk and hardly any of them drink
coffee, and I thought milk would be
very easy to serve. Or can you sug-
gest something that you like bet
ter?
Answer: If you are sure they like
milk better than anything else, this
is an excellent reason for serving
it. Otherwise, 1 think would sug-
gest that you have cocoa for a
change, and also because a hot
drink would taste better with cold
sandwiches.

Ribbons and Seats.

n EAR Mrs. Post: What is meant
~ by Sin front of the ribbons"
and "within the ribbons" and who is
seated in each place?
Answer: Both mean the same
thing; having place within the en-
closure marked by the ribbons. The
pews in front of the ribbons are
always seated according to near
ness of relationship, and cards bear
ing the actual pew numbers are sent
by the mother of the groom to each
of those relatives and few dearest
friends who are to be seated on the
groom's side of the church, and by
the mother of the bride to each of
those who are to be seated on the
brides side of the church.

n EAR Mrs. Post: Which is cor
- rect? Drink your soup or eat
your soup?
Answer: Eat your soup with a
spoon and drink it from a cup. In
other words, you eat it with a table
spoon when served in plate; you
sip it from teaspoon or drink it,
when served in a cup.

The amendment was recon-
sidered in the Senate Wednes-

that there was not much like
