them.
OF course, if you are in the diplo-

Therefore, let US stop thinking of

Requirement Number Two is to
take pains in your selection of people.
Either ask those who belong in the
same group, or those who are likely
to have interests in common. The
third requirement is food. This, While
important, is not necessarily the be-
ginning and end of entertaining.
Ideally. your friends should be able
to count on you for good company and
good food both! 1t is true that there
are always few who have to be asked
because they are married to the wom-
en- or the men you like best. But don't
say: What shall we do about George
Grump and David Dull?" After all.
Diana finds George admirable and
Gloria adores David! And perhaps if
you would sing praises of their good
points, you would find them less of
liability than if you went around apol-
oeizing: II know l gave you a terrible
place at table - George Grump is
enough to ruin the evening for any
one!'
How much better to say: 'You
know. if one is clever enough to make
him talk. George Grump has brilliant

guests is the greatest mistake possible.

long to a picnic supper. provided they
are good as they can possibly be of
their kind.
In my opinion the choice of menu
is this: Choose first of all the dish that
you and your husband like best -
because this is most likely to be the
one that your kitchen can produce
particularly well. Make this dish the
foundation, and build the rest of the
menu to 60 with it. A typical mistake
made by nervous hostesses is the belief
that they must give their friends new
menus each time instead of remember
ing the dishes that each of their friends
seemed to like especially. The really
important thing is that hot food must
be genuinely hot while cold food, on
the other hand. must be cold.

As soon as a member of the team
thinks he has guessed the answer, he
rushes to whisper it to the referee. If
he is wrong, the referee shakes his
head and the mis-guesser goes back

wins that point for his team, and be-

BEGIN PLACING OF
YULE DECORATIONS
Lighting System Will Be
Ready For Illumination
ThisWeek

Work of placing the Christmas
electric displays in Henderson shop
ping district will begin tomorrow or
Wednesday, with the expectation of
having the wires and bulbs in place
in time for illumination of the streets
by Thursday or Friday, it was said
today by Fred NJ Allen. secretary of
the Henderson Chamber of Commerce,
which body is sponsoring the under
taking.
1t will be the fifth Christmas sea-
son that the outdoor illumination has
been provided for the shopping dis
trict here. This years edition will be
very similar to that of last year, with
the festoons of lights along the side
walks and cross lines at intersections,
with white stars at the crossings, it
is understood.
Whether or not there will be the
usual green leaves depends on the
financial support given the project by
the business people. Funds are being
solicited, and the commercial body is
proceeding with the work in the faith
that the merchants will back it up
with sufficient finances to defray the
cost. The time is short, and the risk
of having the expense underwritten
is being taken because of that fact.
Christmas is just four weeks away,
or a day or two less than that. If the
lights are turned on near the end of
this week, there will be three weeks
then before the end of the shopping
season.
