1t Is question as to which was
the more interesting at an in
formal party the other evening,
the conversation or the house in
which it took place. The Gros-
venor Chapmans gathered a few
friends for supper preceded by a
small swim in the pool they in
stalled in their Georgetown gar
den. but the dunking had to be
skipped. 1t rained Wednesday
evening, and why not? 1t rains
every other evening of the week.
Seated in solid comfort in the
living room of their 100 per cent
modern house one had the feel
ing, however, of being at least so
per cent in the lighted garden
which is separated only by an en-
tire wall of glass.
Since Grovy was the architect
for his own abode he could dream
up whatever he or his wife de-
sired. AS a result, the beds in
this house were probably the first
in the country, or for that matter,
in the world, to be warmed in
wintertime by radiant heat units
in the ceiling above them. Though
the windows can be kept wide
open, no blankets are required!
They simply set the individual
thermostats and in warmer sea-
sons if the temperature drops in
the night the heat units automati-
cally go on! This may be a blow
to woolen manufacturers, but, says
Remi Chapman as a housewife, it
certainly simplif1es bedmaking.

Emily Post

A woman who at any rate un-
derstands herself better than most
tells me: II had a good friend
before I was married. I have seen
her less and less because she is
very rich and married some one
who is poor. I found that when
ever I saw her I became depressed
over our own meager circum-
stances. I'm sure this affected my
husband. Now she sends me an
invitation to her wedding and re-
ception and incloses a handwrit-
ten note saying how she is count
ing on my seeing her. I don't
want to go to this elaborate we'd
ding and possibly get involved
again with many people I haven't
seen for years and can't keep up
with. Is my attitude right or
wrong?"
Your attitude is very unfortu-
nate because self consciousness
about your lack is something
which Is seldom noticed by the
more fortunate and ends by be-

You should go and enjoy seeing

Funeral of Ex-husbond
Dear Mrs. Post: For the sake
of my children who are in Europe
and with the permission of my
second husband, I went to the
funeral of my ex-husband. The
man in charge of the funeral
knew we were divorced but he
put me with the relatives at the
funeral. I'm criticized by men,
bers Of my family for having gone
to the funeral in the first place,
let alone to have sat with his
relatives. Are they right?
Answer: While your motive in
going was entirely proper, and
quite understandable to many, 7
do think it was a mistake to let
yourself be placed with your ex.
family.

prices received by farmers and
cash receipts from farming for
1850 may average about 10 per
cent below last year. Meanwhile,
farm operators net income is like
ly to drop somewhat more than
cash receipts. This is because farm
production costs and prices paid
by farmers are expected to decline
less than their cash receipts in

of the U. S. Department of Agri-

ing Administration has studied the
sleek porker with a view to estab-
fishing grades based on it. Hog
feeders have seen in it more ac-
curate yardstick of market value
and a new objective in their feed
ing operations.
In the new grades the Branch
reasoned that, since meat Is the

based on the measurable charact-
