BY JOHN TODD

HOLLYWOOD, May u (INS)-'
A man who has been teaching
actors and actresses all his life
and giving them the opportunities
they sought, now has turned 10
acting himself. and he is providing
his own opportunity
He is Andre Chariot who be-
came world-famous for his Char
lots Revue and other productions
on London stages. To the English
theater what Flo Ziegfcld was 10
the American. he was especially
renowned for his selection of
beautiful and unusual girls. and
the spectacular staging of his pro-
auctions. His novel lighting eff
fccts and use Of sets was a high
light of the British stage % years
ago.
Among his discoveries" were
such later stage greats as Bea-
trice Lille. Jessie Matthews. Bin
ME Barnes. Herbert Mundin and
Clyde Cook.
All that is now behind Chariot.
For the past year, he has been
absorbed with his own career-as
motion picture actor. He now is
playing in his ninth picture,
,a-G-Ms 5Fhe Man From Down

BY coincidence, two of his out

Emily Post
Adpises-

The rule of safety is: when in
doubt-don't!" and this is quite OBJ
viously my advice to the young girl
who writes:
May give a boy friend a ring
which I know he would like to have
very much? We are not engaged,
but We are good friends. If the an
swer is no. will you please give me
the reason?"
My principal reason for thinking
the answer should probably be no"
is that you yourself are in doubt. If
he is a very old friend and wants the
ring for his birthday. and you can
easily afford to give it to him, and
you have no objection to letting your
family or his family know about it,
it might be quite all right to give
it to him. But if he is some one
you have known but short time,
and the ring is one of value, then
only your own good sense can an
swer for you. Above all, if you are
becoming seriously interested in him
and hope to increase his interest in
you, the answer most certainly is
don't.
Dear Mrs. Post: How can I serve
approximately 40 guests at a we'd
ding reception which I am giving in
my house for young relative. We
have no servants and will probably
not be able to engage any for this
occasion. What also is the typical
decoration of the table?
Answer-It shouldn't be necessary
that you have any one to help you
wait on 40 guests at a reception.
Put cakes and sandwiches and
punch on the table with glasses
grouped around the punch bowl and
the people can help themselves.
They would do this even if you had
half dozen caterers men waiting
on them. The typical table decora-
tion-as much white as possible:
White flowers, white wedding cake,
white ice cakes, white and green. or
white and gold china on a white

not always the same as hers, as
happened the afternoon when he
painted her car
The car was in need of no paint.
1t was shining brightly in its stall
in the garage when Tad walked in
there looking for a helpful job.
Standing on the floor, close to the
car, was can of blue paint and a
new paint brush. OF course, just
the thing!
Tad had labored valiantly and
had done mastery job on the
side of the car nearest him when
his uncle appeared to claim his can
Of paint and the new brush. He
looked in panied astonishment at
the car, and at Tad, who stood by
his job, a bit doubtful, now that
lit was under the scrutiny of a
grownup person. In his right hand
he held the dripping brush, while
he spread the sticky blue fingers of
his left hand in a vain effort to
free them from the stiffening paint
Uncle drew a long breath. He
looked at the little figure before
him, the little face smeared beyond
recognition, the overalls caked with
paint, the sticky hands, the solemn
