TNRMAL parties may come back
some day. but for the time be-
ing they are almost unknown. Lack
of food, lack of service, lack OF where
withal are obvious reasons for their
rarity, as we'll as for our increasingly
casual behavior.
1t is true that party manners and
everyday manners-at-home of we'll
bred persons have always been the
same. But now, our party manners
are little by little falling down to
match everydays worst!
To some degree we are chame-
Icons We naturally match our back
grounds. So. in this increasingly
informal world. good manners
have to be practiced consciously
or they will fall into disuse.
Readers have been asking such
questions as: when do we have to
follow convention?" Others ask:
How large gathering can we make
friendly"

Good Taste Rules

In ANSWER to the first: We must
follow conventions on all ceremonial
occasions - church services, for ex-
ample. And to a great extent we'll
bred people always follow the con-
ventions of good taste.
In answer to the second: Less than
half dozen formal visitors who hap
pen to find each other uninterest-
ing can CONCEAL the atmosphere. On
the other hand, so strangers can be-
come friendly singing songs or play
ing parlor games.
Today, most successful hosts are
worrying very little about provi-
sions and are focusing attention
upon selecting guests who will in
terest each other. The rule, in other
words, is this: Invite people who are
congenial to each other; give them
Evening star., 1946-08-04
Pick Guests Carefully

his does not mean that you, as
hostess or host. can sit back and do
nothing. On the contrary, personal
talent is OF greater importance than
ever The perfect hostess is thought
full in choosing guests - especially
if the party is to be small. You
should never invite people by a hit
or-miss method, when no more than
a moments thought would tell you
that the Smiths would clash with
the Joneses.
When you are asking many, it
isn't necessary that all of them
like each other, but merely that each
will find a few congenlal people.
If you are an intimate friend Of
hostess who has no one to help her,
you would certainly offer to carry
dishes to the kitchen. and perhaps to
stay after others have gone to help
put things in order.
This. however. docs not mean
that the whole house should he
put back in order or that every
one should go to her assistance.
Nothing adds more confusion and
distress to hostess - especially to
one who has very small quarters -
than having her party turn into
kitchen brigade.
One further word to those who
continually ask how far do they have
to follow convention -- to certain
degree we ditcdys follow it. The in
stincts of good manners never should
be lacking.

what you can in the way Of food and
beverage; or if necessary. choose an
after r-mealtlme hour when you need
prepare no more than light snack.
The old fashioned afternoon tea
table is becoming popular again.
In short. formal party require
ments - such as special food and
smart clothes - are both reduced
to whatever your lcebox and clothes
closet can provide, And don't worry
about the meagerness Of either.

IN TERMS of popularity, as
the figures show, Mr.. Stassen has
only one main contender at present
il the West Central area. Gov.
Dewey. Despite the setback in the
Nebraska primary last month,
when the Stassen-endorsed candi-
date was badly beaten in a sena-
torial contest, Mr.. Stassen's lead
over Gov. Dewey remains con-
siderable in the West Central re-
gion as a whole.
In the East Central area Mr..
Stassen faces two powerful con-
tenders - Gov. Dewey. who runs
ahead of him in popularity, and
John W. Bricker, whose popu-
iarity percentage is nearly equiva-
lent to that of Mr.. Stassen's in
the area. Former Governor Brick
er is running for the Senate and a
big victory in that race would I'm.
doubtedly enchance his popularity
as a presidential candidate, not
only il his home state Of Ohio, but
throughout the Middle West gener-
ally.
Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg
Of Michigan and Senator Robert
A. Taft Of Ohio are also potentially
strong %contenders in the East Cen
trail area.

Retail Price Of Ice
Cream To Soar Soon

RALEIGH, July II. -(P- An in
crease in the retail price for ice
cream was foreseen Thursday by
L. L.. Ray. executive vice-presi-
dent of the North Carolina Dairy
Products association.
Ray said the price boost would
be felt generally in the state by
Monday. He refused to say how
much the increase would be be-
cause that would depend ION local
conditions"
Ice cream is being sold locally
at Is cents a pint.
The increase in ice cream re-
tail prices, Ray said, was necessi-
tated to Offset the loss of a gov.
eminent feed subsidy to dairy farm
ers and that loss boosted the price
of manufactured milk.
This is not more than fair"
Ray said, "for it is necessary to
compensate the dairy farmer for
the removal of his feed subsidy.

Eleven of Them Were

This particular load of brides were

Eleven of them have come to Wash

dependents" 376 adults and 80 chill

fraction of the 10000 GI dependents
due to come to this country from the
European theater of operations.
A daily newspaper especially for the
brides-Wives Aweigh-was published
throughout the voyage. 1t carried some
of the news of the world, wirelesses to
the ship, but mostly dealt with activities
and orders of the day for the brides.
1t gave those brides, who wished to con-
tribute, an opportunity to hand in items
for publication, too-poetry and letters.
The publication was handled by the

there were eight, and they did an ex-

they were philosophical lot, deter
mined to make good wives and good
homes for their husbands.
The Queen Marys contingent of CT
brides and their children was the
greatest single mass movement of
women and children ever to take place
to America. They did not crowd the
ship, however, which on previous
voyage had brought back nearly 5000
American soldiers, and during the war
had carried many more on single trip.
There were reasons for not crowding
more women into the Queen Mary.
First, it was an experimental trip
the ship is to make at least four more
voyages with CT brides to America.
The Transportation Corps of the Army
and of the Navy was anxious to learn
the best ways of handling them.
Second. there was the question of life
boat facilities in case of disaster. While
men could take to life RATS, there was
no thought of putting women and chill
dren in RATS at sea.
And third, they wanted to make the
trip for the brides and children as COM
Portable as possible
The Wives Did Good Job

The wives had to make their own
beds and to keep things shipshape in
their cabins. There was no real over
