S. Some one to appreciate what
I wish to achieve.
6. Some one to understand my
moods.
Z. Some one to help make my
decisions.
8. Some one to stimulate my
ambition.
The glamour girl Is not likely
to meet a single one of these
needs. She's too much in love
with herself to have time for
that.
Questions and Answers.
@. Why can't men realize that
woman's life is much harder
than their own?
A. Some do. In one study
happily married men tended to
agree that women lead the hard
est lives, unhappily married men
thought the reverse. Does that
sound reasonable?
@. How can we stop our chill
dren from playing kissing games?
They're too young to be making
love!
A. They're not making love.
In her valuable book. "Teen
days." Mrs. Frances Bruce Strain
says that kissing games are
games pure and simple. have
no more significance and senti-
mentality than cops and rob-
bers. They have all the elements
for top-notch fun and excite
tment. They are shortlived and
soon outgrown."
@. You claim many women
wish they had been born men. I
doubt it. I never had that feel
ing.
A. In one study AZ per cent Of
the women wished they had been
born men. Ask your acquaint-
ances. Note whether those who
regret their sex are the unmarried

he reaches across her. opens the

The Mothers at the Reception
Dear Mrs. Post: If the brides
mother wears a long day dress at
a morning wedding, does the
bridegroom's mother have to wear
the same type of dress?
Answer-Since the mothers GUS
tomarily stand together to re-
ceive, they do present a more
pleasing picture if their skirts are
of similar length and not too dis
similar in type of dress.

the storm at 6 o'clock drove the
party indoors. The string section

played during the reception hours.
Refreshments were served from

Although the Board of Lady
Visitors of Children's Hospital has
discontinued it's formal meetings
for the summer months. in no way
has it discontinued it's work.
Patients, nurses, and doctors alike
benefit by the volunteer work done
by the board.
For many years the board has
given a monthly tea for members
of the hospitals nursing staff dur
ing the winter months. Although
they themselves may be away dur
ing the summer, the members of
the board don't forget the nurses.
At their final meeting this spring,
they left a fund to finance pic
MICS and other outdoor activities
for those who will be on duty all
summer. In addition. Mrs. Walter
Boyd has made her swimming pool
available to the nurses.
The board is continuing its Wis
its to the hospital on a volunteer
basis. One of the major projects Of
the organization has been the
maintenance of nurses and doc
tors quarters insofar as the house
keeping end is concerned, and
members visit the quarters regu-
larly during the summer to keep
them equipped.
Another project of the board is
the sewing it does for the hospital.
Gowns. bibs and the many other
garments needed in the care of i'll
children are provided by the board
and it's associate groups. All work
as volunteers during the summer
coming in once a month to- pick
up work they can do at home.
Groups who work with the boarc

sions were hosts. the Carlton
Room that evening was tempo
rarily converted into foreign soil
Thus Mr.. Truman could be seated
as he would be if he were guest
in foreign country-on the right
of the host. Mr.. Woodward gave
his OK.
AS for the other hosts and the
IS high-ranking American off,
cials, they were seated according
to rank, of course. with two Off
cials flanking every ambassador.
With that problem hurdled, Mr.
E. M. did an unheard-of thing
Faced with the necessity of having
the meal end on the dot, since the
subsequent speechmaking would
be broadcast and televized, and
specific air time had been allotted,
he called for a rehearsal. Over
vehement protestations, Elovius
had the staff serve phantom
meal and timed the whole busi-
ness. AS a result he discovered
that the salad would have to be
served with the entree instead OF
as a separate course. or they
would never go on the air on time.
In order to fit into the air time,
it evolved that each ambassador
would have to limit his remarks
to two minutes and omit the usual
first words of greeting. such as
Mr.. President, Gen. Marshall. etc
Although few women have ever
been able to talk as long as the
average male after dinner speech
maker. and although this was
probably the drst record Of Its
kind in. history the diplomatic
gentlemen from Europe really
limited their speeches to two
minutes each. The whole thing
went of like clockwork.

Although discussing subject OF
very limited interest, I am urged
to print and answer the follow
ing letter: Does a wife upon her
marriage assume her husbands S
coat-of -arms and drop her own?
What if there's a divorce?"
Correctly, woman has no right
to the personal use of any crest
or coat-of-arms. All she herself
can have is a lozenge on which
is placed the device on the shield
Of the coat-of- arms of her family
Cor after she marries, of her hus-
band's). For the duration of
marriage, she uses his crest on
their formal note paper. She may
not use any part of the coat-of-
arms of a former husband when
she no longer has his name. A
woman does, of course. continue
to use silver or other objects
which already have been marked,
but she should not have any new
silver marked to match.
Cor Manners
Dear Mrs. Post: Is it correct for
woman to sit in the car until
the man who Is driving gets out,
walks all the way around the
car and opens the door for her?
Does it make any difference if
the occasion is a formal dance
when she is in evening clothes, or
whether it is when they are out
for a game of golf or tennis?

ranging the entire dinner given

"I1l go after It'll" cried Henry
I'll get it some way. They won't
fool me again"
NO." said Santa. Next time
they get you will be the end of you
for they mean to destroy us ALL"
At that very instant they heard
the whooping and bowling of the
Wiggle Waggles as the wicked
creatures raced to the barns.
For the first time Santa seemed
truly worried. "Only magic car
save u.s." he murmured.
Mr.. billy flung up his hands
"Merciful day! I had forgotten
was a magician. I have thousand
magic tricks! Come let's hurry
outside"
They ran out behind the barn.
What trick could you possibly
know that would save us?" asked
Santa.

His chin sank on his chest as he
thought and thought. All the time
the Wiggle Waggles came closer

Mr.. billy quietly thought over every

A hundred Wiggle Waggles joined

fully.
But Mr.. billy raised his head. So
quickly that no eye could follow his
hand, he yanked a rope from his
pocket and flung one end into the
air.

shouted. Follow mel"
Santa looked and Henry looked
and even the Wiggle Waggles
stopped to look. Mr.. Dilly's rope
was standing straight up on the
ground and Mr.. Dilly was climbing
the rope"
In an instant Santa and Henry
followed and all three climbed
steadily into the blue. In the next
moment the Wiggle Waggles had
recovered from their establishment
but when they raced to the rope 1t
really was too late-this time too
late for them; Santa had pulled the
end of the rope up after him and
the Wiggle Waggles could never,
never reach it.
Meantime the other end of the
rope rose as far as the eye could
see. Mr.. billy, Santa and Henry
climbed for hours. When they were
too tired to go on Mr. billy tied the
rope into rings and they all three sat
down in midair to rest.

one Of the finest tricks I've ever
seen. You are great magician"
