junior League Fall Luncheon
Given at Chevy Chase Club
Bv Betty BeaIe

The Junior League of Washington
had its annual fall luncheon yes
terday at the Chevy Chase Club
and before disbanding voted almost
unanimously to stage follies in the
spring.
The hundreds of attractive Capt.
tai women who are responsible for
much of the city's charm and some
OF its best welfare work gathered
at the country club for their open
ing meeting of the year and heard
DR.. julius Schreiber, director of the
National Institute of Social Rela-
tions, speak on the Purpose of a
Civilian in a Democracy"-a speech,
he said, that was intended to bother
them.
After starting off by saying that
he wouldn't keep his listeners long
because he was hoarse, and he was
also fat and baldheaded so they
wouldn't want to listen long, DR..
Schreiber proceeded to hold his
audience spellbound for the next 80
minutes The utterly frank, plain
speaking of the social psychiatriSt
may or may not have met with full
agreement on the part Of the Junior
Leaguers, but it is certain that he
provoked their entire interest.
The guest speaker was introduced
by Mrs. Charles Runyon, president
of the Junior League of Washing
ton, who spoke on the necessity OF
thoughtful cooperation on the part
OF all members. Citing the food
program as an example, she said
that whether or not we approve of
the methods involved, We should CO.
operate until better plan is
thought up. She said that the
leagues new project, the Child
Guidance Clinic at the Children's
Hospital is now established.
Sitting at the head table with Mrs.
Runyon were Mrs. Travis Brown,
first vice president; Mrs. Kenneth
Hoefel assistant television chair
man; Mrs. Herbert P. Fales, Com

ence Dodge, jr., assistant placement

DR.. Schneider said that prejudice
Is a nasty word to use in polite So

because they are prejudiced. We are
victims, he continued, Of color and
creed prejudices, which are the most
devastating sicknesses we have. If
people would be honest with them
selves, searching their souls to be so,
psychiatrists would have less work
to do, as we are living examples of
the discrepancy between the ex-
pressed credo and the actual dem
orstrations of our daily lives. He
praised the league for helping to
lift the burdens that weigh upon
people and for inaugurating dis
cussion- group meetings, for. he
added. the only way to solve prob
lens is to get an integration Of

Thus-far from segregating a

taught Mary-Anne many things
which she might never have dis

the moment. The last thing Jane

her eyes was the line of his Jaw.
Then he kissed her, and for the
second time that night she stopped
breathing. She opened her eyes to
look at him, and in one wonderful
instant she saw it all - the full,
magical transfer of the protection
and the security.
She knew then that the battle
if battle it was - was over,
and she had lost. She had lost but
it was all right. This was defeat
at its sweetest.

failed to impress her the way they
probably would have with a

Yet how strange and almost un-
natural not to have known it was
coming! He was going to be seven
teen next week. He was big for his
age.
She'd seen him, strong and as
sured, on the football field and
basketball court. Had listened to
and read the praise that was
heaped upon him.
No, she told herself determined
ly. She couldn't let this new line OF
reasoning fool her. She mustn't
let something like a first tuxedo
cloud the issue. At seventeen a
girl would be grown up. Her mind
would be more mature. A formal
date would be vastly more impor-
tant, a much more cherished VI
gnette of life. Why, at seventeen

She pouted exaggeratedly. The
handsomest boy in town ought to
rate the most beautiful girl.
Thanks" he grinned, but I'll
settle for Marge. She's got plenty
of sense and a lot of balance"
"Balance?" she said. How do
you mean?" -,
"Ioouldn't really explain. You'll
have to take my word that 1t
means a lot"
SHE wished he hadn't said that.
She wished he'd simply said that
Marge was cute and lots of fun,
and liked to drink malts down at
the Varsity Shop. Why, instead,
should a seventeen-year-old boy
be 80 candidly aware that his date
to the biggest dance of the year
wasn't beautiful? And why should
he speak of something 50 abstract
as balance?
She didn't search her mind for
the answers, because she was
afraid - afraid that the proof of
what she was battling against was
piling up too quickly, much more
quickly than she was prepared to
handle and accept it. She was still
half convinced that he was only
playing at manhood, the way
they'd been doing the last couple
of years when she'd slip him the
money in a restaurant to pay the
check, or when he'd march up to
the box office to buy the theater
tickets.
He was saying something about
the car: II think I'd better take
it in tomorrow for that brake job.
We oughtn't to put it off.
