the premiere, he was among
the missing when he should
have been on stage, giving with
that glorious voice Of his.
Jimmy Durante, who subbed
for LAMA, told the startled
opening-night audience of re-
porters. photographers and the
usual gamblers that Mario was
in an oxygen tent. This was
later denied by the singers
doctors who claimed that
LAMA merely had laryngitis.
Whatever it was. the New

rector was fired. then another.
The clothes were changed.
Then Judy found the early
rising impossible to cope with.
One night, when Jack Warner
heard Judy singing like a lark
at a late party, he had bril-

shooting to the night time, and
that's how the picture was
finished.

A fall prediction emerged
from our luncheon date yes

he says that the larger hat
will continue in the spotlight
and there will be hint of a
thick rolled edge similar to the
Peruvian type of hat
But looking at the summer
scene, Mr.. Northridge thinks
that white will be very much
the favored hat choice with
black the next. With all the
lovely summer prints in light
or dark backgrounds, the large
cartwheel hat in black straw
or a sheer black net looks just
right.

BEE FRIGHT

Mrs. A. N. K, Washington
For the lady who asked how

my problem was quite as
acute. Anyway. I was very
successful in getting rid Of it

tool by teaching him all about
the life of bees. I got out an
old zoology text book of mine
(any kind of book like this
could be found at your public
library and together we
learned about bees habits and
life. He got quite interested in
the study, and soon was more
interested in bees than afraid
of them 1t is a mystery to me
where children pick up these
strange fears sometimes, but
I think that if you are patient
with them and try to explain
exactly what it is all about.
they will get over them.
I had something of the same
problem with my little girl,
who was afraid of thunder
storms. And I tried the same
treatment, which improved
the situation, although I must
confess that my medicine was
not quite as good in this
instance.
Why don't you try this? I
think it really might work.

II. Women hit a cycle of wear
ing larger hats and the ensu-

ribbons, and such, resulted.
The small hat then came
in as a complete about
face from the hats that
women wore in that period
when they wanted to doll up
and be pretty for the returning
service men.
Currently the large hat is of
the light variety. 1t involves
being made up in lacy straws,
in lattice work types, and the
feeling is definitely that of
being open and truly light
headed. Hats of sheer net fol-

Friday night in the school gym
amidst decorations set to the theme
of "A Stranger In Paradise" The
highlight of the evenings activi-

escort, Tom Wainer. as King. The
music for the evening was fur
nishcd by the "Midnighters," under
the direction of Mr.. Carmen Munda,
who was a member of the Oakland
High School faculty number of
years ago Immediately after the
Prom the majority Of Southern's
Juniors and Seniors attended a
movie entitled Lii" at the Mary
land Theatre. Following the movie,
which ended at 2:3O a. m. the Oak
land Country Club was opened to
the Prom crowd until 4:30 a m,
for dancing. All in all the even

live in the memories of all Juniors
and Seniors.
