will recover.
Joe is going steady with girl
who is a good locker" and dances
we'll. She is entertaining. but
wouldn't At into his family or
his future. He knows it and
hasn't the slightest intention of
marrying her: but he has more
money than the boys in her old
crowd and can take her out more.
Every day that he continues to
monopolize her time, he is doing
her an injustice.
At the high school age. it's a
little different. But let me lay
down a few rules for those who
are old enough to marry and
want to marry:
/. Don't go steady except with
a person whom you might marry
2. Don't go steady with per-
son for whom you have ceased to
care.
3. Remember that a woman's
marriageable years speaking in
terms of averages and statistics)
are few, and she can't afford to
waste a single one of them. One
of the greatest mistakes, contrib
uting to failure to marry at all,
is delay on the part of a girl until
her most marriagable years have
passed and the desirable husbands
have been picked off by other
women.

Wonnen's
Clubs
Golden Hour
Group Plans
Second Meetinq

The new Golden Hour Group"
of the Woman's Club of Bethesda,
which got off to record start at
it's first meeting last month. is
expected to draw large at
tendance at its December meet
ing scheduled for 8 pm. Thurs
day at the clubhouse.
Designed to provide fellowship
and entertainment for the older
men and women of the commun-
ity, the group is still in forma-
tive stage. 1t will be organized
along definite lines in January,
however, after prospective men,
bers have had time to indicate
just what kind of a club they
want.
More than rs men and women
were the guests of the club at the
first meeting and officials said that
numerous inquiries have been re-
ceived since the session was held.
The group was suggested by Mrs.
Paul H. Gallagher. who felt that
such a unit could serve older men
and women without family respon-
sibilities and those who are
strangers in the community.
Publicity given to the purposes
of the group through the press
and church bulletins has resulted
in calls from such areas as Arling-
ton, Alexandria and Congress
Heights, as we'll as from the Be-
thesda- Chevy Chase area.
I'VE have had requests to go
into other communities to organ
ize similar groups" Mrs. Gallagher
said. I'm afraid we can't do that,
but those who are interested in
the idea are welcome to attend
our meetings"
There are no age limits to men,
bership in the group. Those who
came to the first meeting ranged
from about 40 on up." Mrs. Gal
Ilagher said. A prize will be offered
at the meeting Thursday for the
Oldest person present.
A typical Christmas program
also has been arranged for Thurs
day, featuring a club play and
musical selections by Mrs. James
Baldwin, vocalist. and members of
the Choral Group of the club. The
play was written by the drama
chairman, Mrs. William Pfeger,
and will be presented on Tuesday
afternoon at the club, following
the regular monthly business
meeting and luncheon.
Christmas decorations arranged
by Mrs. Robert Fisher of the art
department are expected to add
interest to both the Tuesday and
Thursday meetings.
Mrs. Gallagher has been named
chairman of the Golden Hour
Group" and Mrs. Jesse T. Price Is
the co-chairman. The president
of the club, Mrs. J. Braddock Bod
ley, also Is taking an active in
terest in the new unit.

MorriogeobIe Years
Were Not Meant
To Be Wasted
By DR.. Poul Popenoe

When you. are going steady,
stop, Look and Listen" once in
a while. If you look and listen
with your wits about you. maybe
you'll conclude that it's time to
stop.
This is important for a girl
who wants to marry. Take Cor
nelia's case. She has reached the
point but here she is to
speak for herself:
IT have been going for a year
with a young fellow two or three
years younger than I am. We
are very congenial and supposed
we were headed for matrimony.
In fact, he has told me several
times that he would like to have
wife just like me. Isn't that
pretty plain hint? But he has
also told me that he doesn't think
he could make any girl happy,
and has advised me that I
oughtn't to see so much of him.
though he keeps on asking for
dates. What's a girl supposed to
do, DR.. Popenoe?"
A girl like you is supposed to
think first of marriage, Cornelia,
and you can't afford to waste any
more time. This young man has
given you fair warning. He is
not to be blamed for enjoying
your company. but you are to be
blamed if you don't keep both
eyes on the marriage license
bureau. The quicker you drop
him, the better; but of course
you'll be kind and gentle.
Frank and Gretchen, in their
last year of college, are going
steady and think a great deal of
each other. But a religious diff
ference makes marriage impos-
sible. Such differences often can
be overcome. but for special rea-
sons it can't be done in this in
stance. They are very unwise to
go steady. The sooner they make

Marry Clifford says that hus-
band Clark's name was left Of
the invitation to the debut party
for their daughter, Gerry. on pur-
pose. No men are being invited
to the 4 to 6 tea on the 2lst at
which their eldest girl viii make
her bow. So many women have
called UP to see If they were sup
posed to bring their husbands
that Mrs. C. will not be surprised
if some males show up. but 1t is
strictly a ladies tea. Marry
wanted this type Of party because
that's the way her mother pre-
sented her when she made her
debut in Winchester. Mass. Clark
will have his innings later in the
evening when numerous close
friends. including some Of the

Washington businessmen often
wonder how other businessmen
get their work done and have the
stamina to take in some of the
enormous number of local parties
too. If they know the man to be
a hard worker it's even more per-
picking. Clark Clifford could give
them an answer. one he learned
from his former boss, President
Truman. He takes a nap in his
office everyday after lunch. which,
needless to say. means you have
to be high enough in the world
to have a private Office. The
President has the remarkable
faculty Of being able to go to
sleep whenever he wants to. says
himself that he frequently maps
three times a day and on his re-
cent 'non-political" tour took a
nap after every meeting! That
accounts for the constant presi-
Dental bloom. And think of the
hours women spend sitting up in
beauty shops trying to get the
same effect!

"What a perfect day for a gar
den party" was repeated and re-
peated yesterday as the British
Ambassador and Lady Franks
greeted their several hundred
guests: They stood at the foot of
the terrace to receive at the an
nual garden party celebrating the
birthday of King George VI. The
actual date of his birth is De-
cember IA, but the celebration is
in June because of. the weather,
perhaps, and the proper season
for Strawberries and Devonshire
cream. Strawberries, and delicious
ones, were plentiful at the party
and the whipped cream served
with them was delectable ever
though it did not come from
Devonshire.
Arrangements for the party
we're as perfect as the weather
and members of the Embassy
staff as well as the British guards
on duty there, escorted guests
into the garden and saw that
they were served.
Lady Franks wore a very be-
coming Paisley frock. the tones
of brown and orange harmonic
ing with the russet of her hair.
And the two young daughters OF
the house enjoyed the party as
much as any of the guests. Young
Alison was in pale blue with an
overdress of white net and Caro-
line in yellow trimmed with
brown. They enjoyed the straw
berries and cream, too, and As
sociate Justice Tom Clark joined
little Alison as she ate hers.
When she spilled some the Su-
preme Court justice did likewise,
perhaps to make her feel at ease.
Going through the Embassy
into the garden one caught
glimpses Of huge bowls of roses
from the gardens where the red
rambler is a riot of color over
the fence and in the more formal
rose garden every bush is laden
with blooms. Small tables with
comfortable chairs were placed
under each of the trees and here
groups of the guests gathered
to chat and enjoy the iced coffee
with coffee ice cream, or the
favorite of the hosts homeland
Scotch and soda. There were
dainty sandwiches and cakes, but
these were not as popular as the
other delicacies served.

"Shenanigans" Come

October 81 brought not only Hal
lowe'en shenanigans, but what
the Weatherman termed Autumn
nal shenanigans." The thermometer
enjoyed it's record-breaking peak
of So degrees SO much that it re-
turned to the sos the next day.
Previous high for October 81 was
in 1916, when the mercury hit "a
degrees. There may have been
others before 1871, but they
weren't recorded.
At least it was one October 81
when the children could wear their
flimsy little costumes in complete
comfort, and when violets and iris
were blooming along the roadside.
In summer such weather would be
known as heat wave; in Octo-
Der it's called Indian Summer. In

entire month of October, 1850 has
been one for the books!
