Foreign missions are called up
on so often in Washington to con-
tribute money, buy tickets or lend
their embassies for some benefit
that it was quite a shock to 13 of
them when they received boxes
gratis to tonight's gala opening of
the Ballet Theater. 1t is an am
using revelation to note that each
of the 13 called to find out if the
box tickets were really gifts-and
could hardly believe their ears
Each accepted and so did the re-
cipients of the other 26 boxes that
Blevins Davis, president and angel
of the Ballet Theater, gave away
to the Capitals most glittering

ceiving considerable recognition
abroad. 1t has been invited to

Dear Mrs. Post: A friend has
asked me to find out whether it
is improper for some one to knit
while talking with friends or
being dummy at the bridge table.
Some of her friends evidently
have been criticizing her practice.
Answer: There is no objection
to knitting if she is so expert that
she does not need to glance at
her needles. At the other extreme,
a knitter who has to count stitches
must lay her work aside whenever
any visitor is present.
Ho1U to mark and fold nap
kins and linen cloths is eE-
planned By Mrs. Post in booklet
