chased crystal vases with silver

If things ever get tough for the
young Spauldings, they can open
an Al shop with just the stock

The Trumans must have
fondness for chased glass. That
is, if it is true that people give
the kind of present they like to
receive. One can't help recalling
that it was a carved Steuben
glass bowl that they sent to
Princess Elizabeth and the Duke

This IS a problem: Give just
received a thank you note for a
wedding present that I didn't
send. But to complicate matters
it is from the bride, a stranger
to me, of a man with whom am

not send the gift she mentions.
but I sent none. Furthermore, I
have no intention of sending ore.

asked a boy to go with me. Don't
you think it might be less

"A Purely Commercial Idea
Dear Mrs. Post: Has there been
recent change? I don't know
and am a bit confused. In one
of your recent answers I noticed
you mentioned the first wedding

Almanac that has been changed
to clocks. Is there an explana-
ton?
Answer: There has been q
movement, which I personally re-
sent, to change all early annl-

cost to those of greatly increased
value. I can only answer that
paper for the first anniversary OF
marriage has been standard for
more years than any one now liv-

Bhumivet, Director of Welfare
Department: and Col. T. Upa-
thambhananda, Deputy Surgeon
General. All were in line with the
Ambassador and his wife at the
party.
The forecast for rain, which
didn't come, made the hosts decide
to have the party indoors, instead
of in their lovely garden where
they'd had one last Friday. But
the crowd was smaller and the
weather cooler, so everyone en-
joyed being inside.
Cocktails and canapes were
passed around and a buffet supper
featuring cold turkey, roast beef
ham and a mixed green salad
favored with a delectable dress
ing, was served in the dining
room. Luscious-looking fruit in
a lovely bowl centered the table
in lieu of the usual flowers.

Mrs. Serge Rips. who was there
with her husband, was a SYM
