A House Is
Going Up
BY DAVID SCHWARTZ
Copyright, 1949, Jewish Tele-
graphic Agency, Inc.)

thing that happened to him about
twenty years ago on a visit to
Palestine.
He was walking along a lonely
road in what is now Israel, but
the Israelis were not so many
then, and in this particular area
there seemed to be not only no
Jews, but no Arabs. It was a des-
olate stretch in which my friend
was walking. The absence of
anything visible made it all the
more conducive perhaps for him
to ruminate. This was supposed
to be the Jewish Homeland, but
where were the Jews? Where
were the homes? There was moth
ing but sand and rock in sight.
There was terrible pathos about
it all.
Suddenly, his eyes turned and
he saw in the distance a group of
people. He could scarcely dis
Germ their faces, but it was clear
they were reckoning to him to
join them.
He made his way to the spot,
and saw half a dozen men. A few
were in working clothes, a few
were in ordinary street attire.
They stood at the side of what
was a house in course of con-
struction.
Have schnapps," was the
greeting which my friend receiv-
ed. eve are celebrating. You
see the foundation has been fin
ished. So we are celebrating"
Whose home is it," asked my
friend.
"What difference does it make, :"
exclaimed the apparent owner of
the house. "A house is going up
in Israel. Els bolt zich Eretz Is
IraeP
]. recall this story in connec-
ton with the present visit here
from Israel of Leopold Schen.
MIR. Schen has made his life work
the building of houses in Israel.
AS one might expect, there is at
present, terrible housing short
age there. According to the lat
est reports, the Israeli Govern
ment is trying to bring in immi-
grants now at the rate of some
100000 a year. That means an
annual increase of about Is per-
cent in the population.
Suppose we brought into the
United States in one year, an adj
ditional twenty-five percent of
the population. We can visualize
what terrible housing shortage
there would exist.
The only thing that saved the
Jews in Israel this past year was
the flight of the Arabs. 81 was
there. I saw them flee. I don't
know why the Arabs fled, but
they fled. And the Jews have
been able to make use of the
homes they evacuated" Mr..
Schen said recently.
The great trouble about build
ing homes in Israel, Mr.. Schen
explained to me, is the fact that
there is little mortgage money
available in Israel for financing
construction. In America, if you
have a couple of thousand dol
lars, you can get a mortgage and
start building. But in Israel, you
have to have the entire cost of |
the house before you can start |
building.
So Mr.. Schen is here trying to |
interest American capital to help |
building.

An unusual letter says: "On our
way home from the moving pic
lures the other evening we
stopped at a milk bar for sand
Wiches and milk. While looking
at the menu we noticed a new
soft drink they were featuring. We
all wanted to try it, but, not
knowing whether we would like it
or not. hesitated to do so. I sug-
gested ordering one so that we
could all taste it. When it came
I asked the waiter for some extra
glasses and poured a little of it
into each and passed them around
for all to sample. One of the
group thinks this was out of order.
What is your opinion?"
Each one could have tasted it
through a different straw, but I
think to pour a little into different
glasses a most parsimonious ges-
ture.
Celebrate Birthday Ahead Of Time
Dear Mrs. Post: Would there be
any objection to celebrating our
sons birthday a week ahead of
time? At the time of his birthday
we will be out of town and will be
gone for at least month, and we
would like very much to give a
party for him before we leave.
Answer: There is no objection
to giving a party since the actual

London. Paris, Rome or Washing
ton. On second thought, he said,
we'd better eliminate the home
posts. and all the men knew i'm
mediately what he meant. When
a diplomat serves at his home Of
flee, his salary is cut drastically,
may even be halved. In some cases
it barely pays the rent, and Ger
tainly won't cover entertaining.
Conversation flowed in three
languages and on all subjects
from brilliant international wit
ticisms to what fork to use. Those
who are afraid to mix in social
circles for fear of making a faux
pas at the table can dismiss that
thought right now. This much
PARTED, cosmopitan group grinned
at itself that evening as each
guest spied the next reaching for
a different fork. It seems that
it's an Italian custom to have the
fork for the first course on the
right of the plate, while Amer
leans and English are accustomed
to start with the outside fork on
the left. In any case, the deli
cious food tasted the same.
News evolved there that the
Clan Vincenzo Soros have been
transferred from Washington to
the foreign Office in Rome. He is
collecting their things here. Bebe,
who went to Italy for the summer,
will not return. An accomplished
artist, her portrait of Julia Ortona
reposes in the Ortona drawing
room, is a superb likeness.

Margaret Truman's opening
concert before $500 Atlantans
drew a nice response from Atlanta
music critics. And her snappy
get-up in the Georgia capital
marked a far cry from her de-
cidedly less glamorous appearance
in the Hollywood Bowl last year.
This time she wore a decollete
light pink marquisette evening
gown with black lace appliqued on
the fitted bodice and cascading
over the full skirt.
Under such headings as THE
Applause Was Mighty" and ZAP
probation of an Artist" Atlanta
newspapers pointed out that her
rhythm and phrasing are flaw
less" her quality is pleasing.

agreed that she has most salts

mendous feeling for her audience.

Egidio Ortona, amusing First
Secretary of the Italian Embassy,
gave a dinner the other evening
that might have been titled an
Alliance Cordiale. Seated around
his dining room table were IA
people from four allied nations
who couldn't have felt more cor
dial toward each other.
The understanding that gener-
ally exists between representatives
of Italy, France, England and the
United States was so pronounced
with this group that it seemed as
though they all came from one
nation. In short, there were no
foreigners present.
The party was for able, young
French diplomat Jean-Claude
Winckler and his wife Betty,
whose delicate blond loveliness
will be missed from the Capital
scene when they leave the end of
. this month.
Acting as hostess for Egidio,
whose spouse Julia is not yet back
from Italy. was brunette, patri-
clan Rosanna Catalano. Her hus-
band Felice, Second Secretary at
the Italian Embassy, was doing
U. N. duty in New York, but tele-.
phoned ere the evening was DER.
British Counselor Gerald Meade
and his wife Beatrice were there,
Gerald in sparkling conversa-
tional form, Beatrice attractive in
a two-piece Paris dress with an
enormous black taffeta skirt. The
Earl and Countess Jellicoe and
the Tim Martens completed the
British contingent. Blond Avis
Marten, the daughter of Lord
Vernon, has none of the cold re-
straint so frequently attributed to
the English. She is quick, friendly
and has delicious giggle. Franco
Bounous of the Italian Embassy
and easy-to-look-at Yola de Bois-
.gelin and her French attache hus-
band Giles were also on hand.
The latter said they have given
up their Georgetown house and
acquired one in Sumner on Mas
sachusetts avenue extended.
When dessert came and with it
the champagne, the host toasted
the Wincklers, and added the
wish that we all meet again in

An Incorrect Suggestion
Dear Mrs. Post. You said not
long ago that you never heard Of
wedding guests taking their gifts
to the reception, until through
some of the letters sent you from
readers. In our community, It
goes still further. Not only are
the gifts opened at the reception.
but if they are sent in advance the
gifts are kept and not opened un-
til at the wedding reception.
Answer: I could not have imag-
ined that there were any social
customs unknown to me. but this
certainly is one and seems to me
very inconvenient.
Send Flowers to Home !
Dear Mrs. Post: If invited to
a reception given for all the debu-
tantes of the season, should one
send flowers for a particular debu-
tante to the home of her parents
or a gift to her? We are very
friendly with the parents but
hardly know the daughter.
Answer: 1t would be very cour-
teous for you to send flowers to
her at home.
When should the hostess use
place mats on the table? What
is the proper size for napkins?
