1t looks like Margaret Truman
is about to be permanently freed
from at least one old tired rumor.
Not since Mr.. Truman became
President has his daughter been
able to go out with a man without
starting all kinds of romantic con-
lectures. Two or three dates with
the same men has been considered
tantamount to an engagement.
Every time she has been out more
than once with a new and eligible
bachelor she has been called on to
issue a statement regarding her
intentions, whereupon a denial
and "just friends" explanation
Immediately has been sent out all
over the country. This sort of
thing is not only not conducive
to romance but it diScourages
worthwhile beaux and encourages
the publicity seekers. AS Presi-
dent Truman said last May, "the
most terrible handicap a girl can
have is to be connected with the
White House"
Now, anyhow. one of the rumors
can be quashed. For more than
three years the name of Frank
Handy has been periodically linked
with Margaret's. It all started
when New York columnist said
he was her future husband and
the report ran amuck again a year
later when Margaret had one date
with him in Detroit, where she
was giving a concert. Neither
Margaret nor Frank gave any en-
couragement to the story tellers
but his name continued to be
Now it's official that the son
Of G. c. Handy. publisher
Of the Ypsilanti (Mich.) Daily
Press, is going to be married this
month but not to Margaret. The
Of Frank Handy and
Betty Jean Goshorn, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. r. C. Goshorn of
Jefferson City, Mo-, will take place
next Wednesday in jefferson City.
So of goes the first name from
a list that is trotted out on the
slightest provocation.

Conversation carried on at such
q pace at Marvin Braverman's s
dinner the other evening that it
flowed without ceasing from 1870
till l o'clock and even continued
with emphasis on the sidewalk in
front of his house as the party
broke up. It covered everything
from Mrs. F. D. RS compliment
tary article about Mrs. Mesta in
the current Flair to the scarcity
Of Egyptian goatskin, which is the
reason why Marvin's new Lincoln
convertible has not yet been de-
livered. He chose the lining by
a nice looking tan leather sample
and then discovered that the avail
ability of the leather depended on
how many goats were butting
around in Egypt. So disconcert-
ing.

There Is another way you can
profit from professionals: by
adopting their attitude toward
their camera and equipment. The
expert learns to use his tools

to focus or uncap the lens. he

can operate it almost without
thinking. And he keeps it in good
condition so that it will always do
his bidding. The good photog-

That's one reason why so many
professionals use flash. They
know exactly what flash lighting
can do under given conditions and
know that it will give them good
