What's YOUR Hobby?
By Betty Miles

We've just discovered that puppets
are very interesting people. Mrs. w.
F.. Won Oettingen of Bethesda
learned this years ago in Europe
and she has produced a community
OF puppets, each pretty much an in
dividual in his own right. No china
doll creatures, these. They laugh,
grimace, languish. Their fascinat-
ing faces tell a story.
Puppets, in case you didn't know
and We didnt-actually are of
three varieties, the hand puppet, the
puppet operated by rod and the
marionette, operated by strings
One of Mrs. Won Oettingens most
fascinating marionettes is a dragon
Who snaps, exhibiting sinister look
ing papier-mache teeth, ''breathes,' -
writhes. A turkey frame, covered
with plastic wood, forms his head
Then there's another marionette, a
pale and esthetic medieval princess
lanquishing beside her gallant
prince. There's a dog made OF
leather, with swapping jaw. And
a grotesque and fascinating dwarf
who scratches his red beard with
mammoth hands. A peasant couple
arm in arm. with ample bodies and
cherubic faces, seem almost to laugh
aloud.
Mrs. Won Oettingen thinks pup
pets shouldn't be too lifelike. She s
a puppeteer who believes in making
the heads and hands larger than
life, thus making the puppets more
expressive.
Speaking Of heads, therein lies
each puppets individual charm. AL
kinds OF materials are used in max.
ing the heads. For example, yo,
might make q head with q papel
pulp base, covering the base with
plastic wood. Or you might use {
clay base, covering it with a papier.
mache mask. You might get reall,
original, and use a cardboard Eastel
egg, modelling the face over 1t IL

The following letter is one OF sew
eral which has suggested the reason
for printing Kindly Omit Flowers
in the newspapers: I'm your column
recently you said that the purpose OF
printing Kindly omit flowers was
principally to prevent all persons
from feeling an obligation to send
them Your explanation while nc
doubt correct is so only in part. ]
believe the most important reason Is
that the deceased was an Orthodox
Jewish person, whose religion does
not favor flowers at a funeral"
While am very glad to print this

one faith, for Christians put the

Dear Mrs. Post: When, II ever
may French fried potatoes be picked
up in the fingers?
Answer-At a picnic.
Dear Mrs. Post: We have only
one spare room and three brides
maids coming from distance. The
groom's family is also from out-of
town. Shall we put them or the
bridesmaids up in our house or
take rooms for either or both at
the hotel? And if so, for how
MANY land which, should we pay
the hotel bill?
Answer-It would be best to put
the groom's family up at the hotel
and have the bridesmaids in your
own house. Since the maid of
honor is supposedly your dearest
friend, couldn't she share your
room and put the other two in the
spare room? 1t is necessary that
YOU pay the bridesmaids hotel bill
If you send them there. Generally
the groom's parents are expected
to pay their own hotel expenses
But If the brides family is easily
able to do so 1t is certainly more
hospitable to invite his parents tc
be their guests.
