BY ALICIA HART
 NFA Staff Writer

A hostess who entertains a great deal says she has her fun after par- ties are over, ana guess what doing
 Examining feminine purse access sories which guests left behind, and guessing from their tidy or untidy aspects to whom they belonged.
 How would you like to be mis- Judged by your compact or Fnake- up caseP You would be by almost any host or hostess who picked up one harboring soiled puff, spilled rouge and powder, or gummed-up lipstick.
 If a girl must use such messy ob- jects, she should guard them SC they don't escape her clutches.
 What accessories left behind dc you think made a great impression e .en upon this worldly hostess of whom I speak?
 One was a beautiful antique box in which some fastidious woman carried her powder. Another was an heirloom snuff box in which one girl carried her vitamin pills.

 Wouldn't it help if we had odds on all kinds of shortages these days? For instance: The odds against finding the kids summer pajamas. The odds against being able to buy a pair of sheer rayon stockings. The odds against find ing Papa a pair of shorts or a white shirt.
 The odds against a dinner host ess' coming through with real meat instead of something fancy and non-filling whipped up in casse- role.
 It would also help if we knew the odds against getting seat on a train The odds against finding a cleaning woman. Against getting a suit back from the cleaners on the day it was promised.
 We could even use the odds against finding a half pound of breakfast bacon. Or locating pack of cigarets in a strange town.

 Here's an Oddity from the success story of Republics new western star, Sunset Carson. About a year ago, still comparative unknown. he was summoned for an interview by the producer of a quickie cowboy series, who announced that he was looking for a new star. Carson read dialogue lines, and the producer beamed approval. Exactly how tall are you?" the movie-maker asked. Six feet, two inches" stated Car son proudly. The producer locked dubious, and held a whispered con- sultation with his assistant.

 Speaking of Hollywood success stories, consider the case of An- gela Lansbury, who last year won an Academy Award nomination for her work in "Gaslight." Miss Lans- bury's presence in Hollywood is strictly fluke.

They were taken in by wealthy Boston family. Angela's flair for re- citations, Representations and songs caught the fancy of her American benefactors and they decided to finance her in a try for acting laurels She'll finish paying of the loan in another two months, but she'll always be grateful for an opportunity that she still regards as miracle.

HOLLYWOOD, September 3 - A couple of weeks ago, Jinx Falken- burg announced that on the expira- ton, next spring, of her Columbia contract, she intends to retire and be just Mrs. Tex McCreary, housewife" On the face of it, her decision can be charged of to a conviction that an acting career doesn't harmonize with a happy marriage-but I'm reasonably sure that Miss Falkenburg isn't telling the whole story.
 She's bitterly-and justifiably = disappointed in the scren roles handed her by Coulmbia, roles which she has been forced to accept under the terms of her contract. l suspect that the long succession of miserable parts has more to do with her retirement" than any other consideration.
 No one can blame JinX for want ing a change. don't consider her great actress, and I'm sure she entertainS no illusions on that score. But she IS and always has been, one of the screens most likeable personalities Given few good parts, there's no reason why she should not become an audience favorite, just as she has become by virtue of her personal appearance tours. a favorite with G. I. audi ences throughout the world.
 Without Knowing her actual plans I'll wager that she will be "open for offers once she is free from her Columbia shackles. I'll also wager that she'll make Harry Cohn ct al, sorry they didn't do better by Jinx Falkenburg.

 Having wasted so much time on the correspondents letter I sent her an answer to the questions she did not ask, to wit, my opinion that driving the tractor is O. k. for her up to the final few weeks, and that any one who takes even the smallest dose of aspirin as a pain-killer should remain at rest for the next few hours as safety precaution, and that eating the drug in, such enormous quantities as a dozen or more tablets a day is reckless indeed.
 However, folks, I'm afraid we must introduce new plan to reg ulate this service. There are far to many letters like that of the too interesting to dispose of in the fine Yankee mother-and they are routine way.

 Voluntary Suicide

Berchtesgaden, June 12(UP)- The mysterious death in 1s4l of Col. Gen. Ernst Udet, famed Ger man stunt flyer who transformed across the United States before the war, was revealed for the first time today as an "honor suicide" in- duced by his dismissal as inspec- tor general of the Luftwaffe.
 An official Nazi announcement in the fall of 1941 said Udet was killed while testing new German secret we apon.
 The secret weapon" according to a captured aide of Reichmarshal Hermann Goering, was service revolver that Udet held against his forehead in his Berlin home.
 Udets was voluntary suicide, unlike that of Field Marshal Erwin Rommel who is said to have been forced to swallow poison while re- covering from wounds suffered in an allied strafing attack last sum- mer.
 Fritz Goennert, who was in charge of the special train in which Goering made his tours of inspec- tion throughout the war, disclosed the inside" story of Udet's death to Allied intelligence officers at Berchtesgaden.
