MRS. BARGE HARTZ gave
A'A the party for Mrs. Kendall,
who, as you know, was the
former Betty Hartz, and though
by now, we have become com.
pletely numbed by the heat, we
did feel a vague GOODNESS in the
huge house. The first coolness
in two weeks-we are sure. Per-
haps it was the electric fans,
very different ones and made of
black wrapped ribbon. Fans
which are noiseleSS and blow
through a room like a fresh
autumn wind, or it might have
been the flowers, quantities Of
them in pastel shades, or the
long screened porch with its
airy bamboo furniture done in
jade leather, or the long frosted
drinks which resembled lemon
ade and definitely-were not!
MRS. KENDALL BETTY
NA was determined to see all
the shower presents before
luncheon and, of course, she did.
The most exquisite set of lotion
bottles, done in luSter, resting
on its own blue tray, from Paula
Everhart; the most fragile
fluffy blanket in shell pink from
Mrs. Ed. Sunderland, who ad-
mitted that she didn't know too
much about what wee babies
wanted, but "at least the blan-
ket would be useful"
MRS. AL RYAN, Mrs. McKen-
1V1 zie Dawson, Mrs. Bill Chap
man, Kathryn Fuqua, and Mrs.
William Shearer all sent the
most beautiful h n DIM a d e
dresses and Mrs. Shearer, who
believes in being prepared for
anything, sent two cunning
dresses instead of one and
tucked a four leaf clover in one,
just for luck.
MRS. NELSON, who looks like
W1 pretty petite doll, is
nevertheless very practical and
sent hand-embroidered sheets
and pillow cases for the crib,
Mrs. Jack Gray gave a blue satin
Baby Book, one recently COM
piled by a prominent Chicago
doctor, in which can be kept a
complete record of the baby'S
life for the next four years.
MRS. JOHN SHUGRUE, Mrs.
W1 Lee Hooper, Mrs. Robert
Birnie, Mrs. Alfred Newbold,
Mrs. Dutch" Reside were all
laden down with beribboned
and wrapped packages, but
whether they gave the finely
knit sweaters, the rattles or the
intriguing wee kimonos, we
never did find out.
X X
MRS. JACK KENDALL pre-
WI sented one enormous box to
Betty and said, This is not for
the baby, it is for you, from
me, your Mommie-in-LaW." And
inside was the most gorgeous
blue satin brocaded negligee
with the note, This is to strut
about in, after Stuff is born"

That wallboards are beloved by
home remodelers Is too well established
= fact to cause much discussion. There
are things which can be done to old
rooms, new rooms which can be Gre
ated, by means Of wallboard, that can
be done in no other way. and Ger
tainly no more economically.
But there has been one little fly
In the ointment Of unconditional ap-
proval Of this popular material: How
in the past-it has Tapped up the
paint! Now. however, II you don't
like the natural light tan in which
most Of these boards come, or II you
don't buy one Of the pre-tinted boards,
there are boards which come with
hard, smooth surfaces that require
minimum Of enamel to cover them
with color.
One such board, especially designed
for kitchens and bathrooms, has Just
recently been manufactured with not
only the tougher surfaced finish, cut
ting down the amount of paint neces-
sary to cover it, but much thicker than
1t used to be. It measures three
eighths Of an inch thick, which is
about twice the usual thickness of
such boards. That means 1t is even
more rigid and strong than before, and
still higher in insulating value.
The panels, which measure 1 by IL
