Amerieono Populor
That a European country with
its age old culture should turn
to the new world for cultural in
Ispiration seems surprising at the
least. but it's true insisted the
American ambassador. "They
show a great interest in our art
and culture: they are constantly
requesting exhibits; American
musicians are very popular; the
5000 volumes in the American
Embassy library are in great
demand. and one-fourth of the
entire population of four million
have seen the documentary films
on America supplied by the State
Departments Information and
Education program. Mobile units
take these films to all parts Of the
country and have even shown
them on islands where the chill
dren had never seen movie be-
fore. The Danes are attracted by
our vitality" she summed up.
On her first visit after two
years absence, from the country
Ambassador Anderson is struck by
one particular thing. "the terrific
Iluxuriousness of everything. !"
Everything seems so lush and
Iopulent," she said. "but maybe
that's because I am seeing the
United States for the first time
through European eyes," Dem

Emily Post

This morning a reader explains !:
How can we hurt our relatives
and friends least in this case?
We're not having a wedding ex-
Icept for the immediate families
and perhaps six or seven Oldest
friends. Most people know that we
intend to get married soon, but
|of course they do not know our
plans. I think it might come as a
shock to them merely to receive
engraved announcements while
we are away on our extended we'd
ding trip. Would there be some
way we could let every one know
ahead of time that we are being
married and when and why they
are not being invited? It would be
impossible to write letters and tell
every one involved. mean, is
there some more general, yet per-
sonal way?"
You can be quite frank about
it with your neighbors, relatives
and friends and tell them that
the wedding is going to include
none but your immediate families
and your few lifelong friends.
Send this notice to your local
newspaper, too. Then send your
announcements afterward. In this
way no one can possibly be hurt.
Mother Is Hostess
Dear Mrs. Post: At my sisters
wedding rehearsal the minister
was introduced to all the women
present. He shook hands with all
of them while they were sitting
down. But when he shook hands
with my mother she stood up.
She was the only woman who did.
Was she right or wrong?
Answer: She was right because
she was the hostess.
Rise to Toost?
Dear Mrs. Post: Do all the we'd
ding guests rise during the toast
to the bride and groom?
Answer: Correctly in most To-
calities, they do.

American. And work she does
this pleasantly-mannered. 42-year-
|old woman who will allow only SO
much time for parties and nc
more.
The thing that stands out the
most about Her Excellency, the
American Ambassador, is how
feminine she remains though
clothed in a man-tailored suit and
though occupying a high-level ex-
|ecutive job heretofore awarded
the male species only. Eugene An

But in short order you dis
cover from her open-faced can
dor, from her complete lack o1
hesitation in answering any and

direct gaze of her large eyes that
there is little or no f1ightiness
about the youngish feminine
diplomat. What time does she
give social life in Copenhagen?
She accepts two or three din

quent the Ambassador has to skip
some because there's too much
work to be done.
The day at the American En-
bassy in Copenhagen begins
early. The Andersons arise at
z in order to have breakfast
with their two children before
they take off for school on their
bikes at 1880. Mrs. Anderson
goes to her Office at 9 and after
checking over her schedule fol
the day with her secretary, she
whips into an hours lesson in
the Danish language. Usually
that's followed by mass of
appointments either at the en-
bassy or at the Foreign Office
and frequently she makes a speech
somewhere or visits a Danish
institute. Sometimes she gets
home for the midday meal-"1
like to have lunch with my hus-
band" she remarked simply
then she goes back to the Office
till 6 o'clock.
There are embassy parties, Of
course. for visiting Americans
and the Ambassador entertains
the different Danish groups on
those occasions who share similar
interest with the visitor. That's
one way, in addition to travelling
throughout the country and max
ing speeches, she has met so many
of the people from various walks
of life-from the business world,
labor groups. and SO forth. There
are, of course, no GI's stationed
in that area for whom to give
such parties as Minister Mesta
does in Luxembourg.
Clothes Sent From U S.
What does she do about clothes
for the many demands on her
time? Does she whip over to

lieve it or not, Eugene Ander-

thing she wears comes from Min

Southern Private Schools Voluntarily
Admitting Negro Students

WINSTON-SALEM, N. c. -
(ANP) - Many White private
institutions in the south are not
waiting for court order to force
them to break down segregation
in their schools; they have VOL
UNFAIRLY opened their doors to
Negroes.
According to survey conducted
by a local newspaper, more than
20 private schools in southern
states have admitted Negro stu
dents to their classes.
Some restrict Negroes to study
on the graduate level, while 9TH
ers admit them freely to all de-
partments.
The Catholic University of
Washington, D. c., and st. Louis
university have been admitting
Negroes for years, giving them
equal opportunities with White
students in all college facilities.
A total of 351 colored students
were enrolled last year and five
Negro teachers were on the fac
ulty of st. Louis university, uni
versity official said.
Some denominations in the
south have adopted the non-seg-
regated practice on the graduate
level only. Among them are the
four theological seminaries Of the
Presbyterian church, located in
Richmond, Va, Decatur, Ca, Aus
tin, Tex. and Louisville.
A Presbyterian spokesman said
"Our denomination is sensing the
need of a more definite contact
