ems Farm and Garden AsSocia-
ton was hostess yesterday to
a group of women from IA
countries who are completing a
tour of Eastern States following
their attendance at the seventh
triennial conference of the AS
sociated Country Women of the
World recently held in Toronto.
The group was entertained at
a luncheon in the Shoreham
Hotel.
Though air-cooling offered
them some relief from Wash
ington's current heat wave, most
of them met their hostesseS'
apologies for the weather with
good-natured ribbing for the
warm" welcome they have re-
ceived.
1--WE can't say we've gotten
a cold shoulder" punned Mrs.
Margaret Cornell Of England.
who is a new vice chairman
of the Executive Committee of
the ACWW.
More seriously, Mrs. Cornell
said the delegates were i'm
pressed with their tour through
the Eastern States following the
Toronto conference. She said
they were particularly interested
in the extent of adult educa-
tional work in this country.
The group especially well
coined the opportunity to visit
the United Nations headquar-
ters in New York, she pointed
out. because one of the new
phases of ACWW work will be
closer liaison with the U. N.
AS the only international nom
governmental organization hav-
ing consultative status with
the U. NJ, the ACWW has an
important piece of work" ahead
of it, she said.
The luncheon program fea-
tured talks by representatives
from four other countries, in
Guiding Mrs. Gertrud Wiklund
of Sweden, Mrs. Johanne Dahl
srup-Petersen of Denmark, Mrs.
M. A. Coop of New Zealand, and
Mrs. Miriam S. P. Stewart of
the Union of South Africa.
Mrs. Dahlerup- Petersen was
elected vice president of the AS
sociated Country Women of the
World at the Toronto conference.
Mrs. Wiklund, who is. presi-
dent of the Swedish Housewives
Association, won hometowners'
hearts when she said she defin-
itely preferred Washington to
New York. I'm awfully glad
New York was not the last place
we saw" she said. washington

Mrs. Ralph B. Kennard, preSi-
dent of the division, presided at

The 20th-centuzy venus
In SHORT, these stylists don't like the way
God created the feminine figure. Seems she
just doesn't photograph svelte enough in the
latest styles. So these folk have designed their
own 20th-centuy Venus "a rafting bundle

The conversation cited in the opening para

an inordinate amount of praise, honeyed

CONCERN for my own peace and quiet are
not my only reasons for eschewing high
fashion business. Frankly don't want to be
party to contributing to the Ill health of any
employees of mine - or indirectly, to making
life miserable for their husbands. It took
shocking experience to wake me up to how this
high-fashion fanaticism can shatter home.

models slumped intoow Office. mfr. Conover,"

jumpy and nags me to DEATH She sleeps with
mud packs ON her face, sashes around her
breasts and bobby pins in what little

going is vitamin injections"
The mans anguish was so great decided
to investigate. My findings disenchanted me
with the high-fashion racket from then on.
