HOW TO TREAT A celebrity
by James Hilton
AUTHOR OF GOODBYE MR. CHIPS"

DEAR MIR. HILTON: A well known
novelist is coming to our town to lee
ture and afterwards / should like to
give a tea in his honor. Could you tell
how best to make the affair a success?
ANSWER: l am sure everything will be all
right if you keep in mind that your we'll
known novelist is human.
For instance, like most people, he prob
ably gets big kick out of doing something
that isn't strictly speaking his job Qike the
banker who shows you his water colors).
1t will therefore please him to be told he is
good lecturer. Be especially careful to tell
him this if he is bad lecturer.
Don't, however, tell him how much better
a lecturer he is than MIR So-and-So, who
came last month. He will soon suspect that
you'll be making use of his own name in a
similar way next month.
Don't misquote the title of any of his
books Even more important, be sure you
don't credit him with some other writer's
book. He will not appreciate this, whether
the book is better or worse than his own.
Don't ask him what happened to his
characters after the story ends. He doesn't
know any more than you do.
Don't start an argument on the assump-
ton that an opinion expressed by any of his
characters is necessarily his own.
Remember that you may have read some
of his books more recently than he has, so
don't cross-examine him too closely about
Evening star., 1950-05-21

them. An author rarely re-reads an early
book of his own for fear he may (0) feel
ashamed of it or (b) think it so magnificent
that he doubts if he has written anything
half as good since
Don't ask him how some particular idea
came to him. As a rule he doesn't know,
and if he does, the answer is probably 50
absurd that he won't tell you.
If your author is English, don't assume
that his only drink is tea.
Don't think he is ever bored by praise,
but don't overdo it. Avoid few of the
superlatives that would only have been
appropriate 3OO-odd years ago, if you had
been president of the Stratford-on-Avon
Women's Club
DON'T stop him from edging towards the
only other man in the room - if there is
one. He might have some particular reason
for doing 50.
If there is another author in the house,
don't take for granted that the two have
read or are bound to be admirers of each
other.
So far, all this advice has been in the form
of don'ts. But they really all boil down to
the original do: realize that your guest is
human, very human indeed.

Traditional st. Lucia Fest Opens
christmas Season at Church

The Augustana Lutheran Church,
whose congregation is largely made
up Of persons of Swedish descent,
last night marked the beginning
Of the Christmas season with the
Saint Lucia Fest, celebration
honoring a Sicilian saint of the
Fourth Century.
Miss June Tischendorf of Kay
wood Gardens, Mount Rainier,
Md, reigned as queen at the cele-
bration, which consisted Of pray
Ter, carol singing, a candlelight
procession and social hour.
The Rev. Clarence T. Nelson,
pastor. preached on making ones
religious beliefs practical through
works of charity, and Miss Mildred
Hanson gave a brief explanation
| Of the origin of the feast.
1t seems that many centuries
ago, the Vikings brought back to
Scandinavia, from their Mediter-
ranean raids, not only rich booty
and fair maids. but also a genuine
devotion to Saint Lucia, the patron
saint of light.
Her feast day, on December 10,
coming as it does when the nights
are longest, found increasing popu-
larity with the Scandinavians, un-
til it became the official time of
starting the Christmas season.
During these hundreds of years,
the Swedes have surrounded the
feast with many customs, the most
important Of which is the Lucia
Fest, when a beautiful girl is
chosen to preside as queen at the
celebration.
A musical program was pre-
sented last night by Roger Boraas,
who sang Swedish carol, and by
Juanita and Sally Ann Capen, who
played q medley of carols on their
violins.
Members Of the Swedish En-
bassy attended the ceremony, in
|cluding: Mrs. Erik Bohemian, wife
Of the ambassador; Minister and
Mrs. r. r. Bagge, and Mrs. Hubert
de Besche. wife Of the Swedish
counselor.

DOG PROBLEM.
From Mrs. M. RIB, Takon1a Park. J


To M. J. H., Alexandria: Con-
corning what is the trouble with
dogs diet when he is scratching
constantly, I think you may find
he has possibly too much starch,
as most of the canned dog foods
have too much starch. We found
that in our dogs case it was lack
of vitamin D, which is we'll sup
piled by adding a tablespoonful
OF wheat germ day to his rations.
1t costs about 80 cents a pound
and pound lasts quite a while.
1t is sweet tasting and very valu-
able for supplying this vitamin to
humans as we'll as dogs. We had
no trouble with this scratching
as long as we supplied our dog
with this supplement to his diet.

FEEDING TABLE?

From Mrs. c. r., Chevy ChaSe.J
For Mrs. V. NJ, Landover Hills:
In answer to the lady who inquired
about the feeding table I wish to
recommend it highly. We pur-
chased the one she referred to
after having demonstrations of
that one and one other. They are
much more expensive than reg
ular high chair but we feel it is
far more safe. They are attractive
and can be used in the living room
when you have guests and have to
feed the baby at the same time, as
they slide through doorways very
easily. Since they have a reclin-
ing seat position and pad we
were able to sit the baby in it for
a few minutes when he was about
I312 months old-which is long be-
fore he sat alone. We did not
purchase the :.'vextnda" legs and
have never thought it incon-
venient without them-although
we have the small chair which is
just the right height when feed
ing-although even that is not
necessary since I often sit in a
regular kitchen chair. I was not
sure about the extra legs for safe
ty but perhaps some one else can
advise you about that.
My child has just begun to walk
holding on to things and he gets
great delight pushing the table all
over the kitchen and up and down
the halls and in and out of rooms.
Yes, think it is very good thing.
