bent on changing their single

back their social obligations.
The result is that the most

A Spring Clearance Ball
On Friday. May The Fourth
Half After Ten
Linthicum Hall, Georgetown
More than 500 such heart
warming invitations have been
sent out by this group of bach
elorS and chances are that, bar
ring accident and illness, all re-
cipents will accept with pleas
ure."
The hostS-nominally 33-actu-
ally represent more than twice
that number since many of them
are delegates from all-bachelor
houses in Georgetown. The re-
sulting abundance of marriageable
men guarantees a field day for
all women concerned.
The idea for this novel ball has
been terminating for several
months in the minds of the var
ious hosts, having originated in
q casual conversation between
Bill Glidden and Bucky Block on
how best for bachelors to repay
social indebtedness.
Thus, the myth that unat-
tached men in Washington are
the most spoiled in the world, is
hereby exploded. They may be
wined and dined more than any
others, but where else have they
organized ball to show their
gratitude?
Hosts for the evening, in alpha
betical order. lest we appear to
favor certain of the gentlemen
entered in the race. are Charles
Alling. Dick Borden, Peter Ben
xiger, Bucky Block, Bowdoin

A newcomer explains: Some Of

people have called on me. I have
returned all these calls. with one
exception. This was the call made
by the wife of our minister. A

tirely informal person. ] would
have considered this, a personal
call except for her remark on leav-
ing. She said she would get in
touch with me soon. This gave
me the idea that she expected
no return visit, and IWondered If
lit would be improper Tor me to
go to see her My husband thinks
maybe such people would be
swamped with calls If theirs were

While I think your husbands s
advice is well taken. Il really Is
much easier to receive q visitor
than to pay the visit the wife OF
the clergyman made. In my opin-
ion this visit was the first you
should have returned.

After Tom arrived in the strange
city for a long summer visit
with his grandparents. Grandma
fretted: I'VE don't know any one
your age to introduce you TO.
Dear, we hope that you can find
friends and enough to do.'
Don't worry about me. I'll
keep busy Tom boasted. At first
it was exciting to be on his own
for the first time in his 15-year-
old life. It was an adventure to
explore the town. to sight-see by
bus, to drop in at afternoon
movies. But all this took money.
Besides, Tom began to feel lonely,
restless, to miss outdoor sports,
day playmates, dates. Where
under the summer sun could he
find his kind of hometown fun,
for free?
Luckily, Tom discovered a public
park, with a teen playground pro-
gram. within walking distance of
Grandma's house. Plenty to dc
there. A swimming pool, tennis
courts. classes in handcrafts.
Square dancing, stunt shows, song
tests. That's one wholesome,
cost-free place to be where we
