DEAR MISS NISSEN: Ny girl
friend. who will be 18 in a few
months. is so fed up with her
parents Strictness that she is
planning to get a room in town.
She isn't allowed to go out or en-
tertain her friends at home. Her
family says that they won't keep
her from getting the room. but if
she doesn't behave they can make
her come home. Are they right?
NELLIE B.
ANSWER: I could never advise a
girl to leave home simply because
she didn't like the discipline, un-
less conditions were really so in
tolerable that they constituted q
mental or physical hazard. Such
cases are rare, and can only be
Judged after extensive investiga-
ton. Since I am obviously unable
TO make such q survey in your
friends case, my general opinion
is that she's better OF at home.
Living alone is not the bed of roses

the open sesame to unlimited free
dom. and proceeds to live accord
ing to that theory. she will find
herself a saddened creature with
a very bad reputation. and may
conceivably be turned back to her
parents via court order. Your
short letter indicates the possi-
bility that she is a girl who needs
disciplining, and if you are really
a friend, don't encourage her to
take a step she may regret-too
late.
DEAR MISS NISSEN: One of my
close relatives is getting married

understood that they want only
money. I find this invitation very
embarrassing as I think it will
oblige the guests to give more than
they would have spent for a gift.
My situation is this: I am married
and do not live in the same city.
We have not visited in many years
and will not attend the wedding
MARCIE G..
ANSWER: Such a blatant re-
quest for money gifts is something
new in my experience. although

European custom. Under your
particular circumstances. gift is
not necessary. but If you wish to
conform to the specified procedure,

Many Items
Donated to
Hobbies Tea
By Frances Lide

What started out to be a one
man hobby show and sale for the
benefit of the L'Enfant Business
and Professional Women's Club
has developed into a club-wide
bazaar.
Even mothers, sisters, aunts,
nieces, daughters and friends Of
members have contributed to the
arts and crafts tea to be held
from 2 to 4 pm. tomorrow at the
home of Mrs. Ursula Danforth,
5701 Nebraska avenue NV.
1t all began about Christmas
time when Mrs. Danforth, who
is noted for her skill in cabinet
making, needlework and the like,
offered to make a variety of items
for a Profitable Hobbies Tea.
II guaranteed the club 100 ar
ticles," she recalled yesterday.
And I'll have that many-though
it's kept me pretty busy. In fact,
I'm planning to finish some items
tonight"
Her handiwork includes wooden
New England newspaper racks,
black taffeta hand-stencilled bag
aprons, crocheted glass sweaters"
|hand-embroidered tea towels and
|crocheted hot dish mats.
Mrs. Danforth had not antici-
pated how much interest the
bazaar would arouse. AS her own
work progressed, however, others
volunteered assistance.
One Of the first to offer con-
tributions was her own 86-year-old
mother. Mrs. William I. Godfrey
of Lubec. Maine. Mrs. Godfrey has
sent eight hand braided velvet
chair seats for the bazaar.
The mothers of other club mem
bers also have made donations. A
crocheted baby jacket was sent by
the mother Of Miss Geraldine
Walsh. Mrs. Thelma Mays
mother gave a handmade apron
and the mother of Miss Dorothy
Gingras contributed a linen bun
cozy.
Dolls. ceramics, flowers made of
nylon hose. and costume jewelry
are among the many other items
that have been contributed to the
bazaar by members and their rela-
tives.
Altogether. Mrs. Danforth ex-
poets 200 or more articles to be on
sale when the bazaar tea opens
tomorrow.
Proceeds from the benefit will
go into the clubs Regina Bren-
ner Scholarship Fund, a project
designed to assist student nurses.
How Mrs. Danforth finds time
Tor her many hobbies is q uues-
ton which battles her friends.
She holds an important posi-.
ton as an occupation specialist
with the Civil Service Commission.

hobbies. She also is active in sew

tributed So TO the presidential
campaign.
His choice Of candidate isn't i'm.
portant In this discussion. What
is significant, it seems to me, is
the change that has occurred in
my friend.
This Is the first time he ever
invested anything more than emo.
ton In a candidate. Obviously, il
must be quite an experience. For
the first time in years, his chest
protrudes more than his stomach.
He now takes a personal, posses.
sive view Of the state of the ma
ton. He watches the progress Of
the campaign the way an investor
. checks the latest quotation on his
stock.
He has begun thinking OF him
self as a president maker. He now
sneaks glances in the mirror, try
ing out long, black cigars for size.
AT almost any moment | expect
him to ask whether vested interests
are still wearing frock coats.

WASHINGTON.-It was a re-

day when we received the dis

losses throughout the Florida
vegetable producing acres.
Unusually heavy rains had
washed out many crops. threaten

and substantial setbacks to those
able to Withstand the losses.
When the reports reached me I
Immediately conferred by telA-
phone with Senator Holland and
with other members of the Flor
ida delegation in Congress. Then
I called upon the head of the
Farmers Home Administration.
Almost within the hour, the
Department of Agriculture was
receiving its own reports Of dis
tress in the area and calling for
additional information from the
field.
II is Our thought, after dis
cussing the matter thoroughly,
that If conditions and need war
rant. the areas affected shall be
certified for disaster areas"
thus making the farmers eligi-
bic for special assistance in the
