Can the heat and hilarity

Yes, say pro-Nixon stage

LOS ANGELES, July 10
What a drama of clamor and
glamour we've been through.
The clamor of the extraor-
dinary demonstration for
Adlai Stevenson, the glamour
of a new young figure plow-
ing like an old pro through
the old pros.
The Republicans well-oiled
convention in Chicago next
week is not likely to match
the intense and frantic, if
fruitless, competition staged
by candidates seeking to stem
the Kennedy tide.
Only if Nelson Rockefeller
pulls some kind of surprise,
can real excitement come.
But the G. o. P. conven-
ton may well outdo the Dem
ocratS' when it comes to
prominent personalities turn
ing the lake shore town into
one continuous posh party.
Otherwise there should not
be as much difference be-
tween the two conventions
this time as there was in
1856. Then the contrast was
staggering.
Between the heat in Chi
cago that summer and the
hot fights for first and Sec
ond places, the Democrats let
their hair down in an in
formality that took in the
entire convention hall. Ele-
CANT VIPs thought nothing of
munching their lunches in
front row boxes.
But out in blissfully cool
San Francisco on well-heeled
Mob Hill, Republicans turned
out in chic clothes with mink
running amuck for a round
of social activities staged to
keep up interest until the
EiSenhowers arrived. No one.
not even the press, would be
caught eating in the re-
strained and formal atmos-
phere of the convention hall.

MODERN
MANNERS
It's Not Too Early to Start
Thinking of Holiday Parties
By CAROLYN HAeNER SHAW

I would like to offer the
suggestion that you stop and
think before issuing invita-
tionS to those to whom you
wish to extend hospitality
during the coming Thanks
giving and Christmas feStivi-
ties. And make your invita-
tions specific. Tell your
prospective guests what they
may expect and then they
can act accordingly.
For example, if you are
asking friends to a party to
be held from 6 to 8 o'clock,
and you expect to serve q
buffet that will consist of
not only horS d'oeuvreS, but
everything from sliced turkey
to salads, don't put just
Cocktails" on your invita-
ton.
Why? Because your guests
arrive expecting the usual
drinks and things to .nibble
on. So before leaving home
they plan dinner, to be made
ready when they return from
your party. This is absolutely
unnecessary for they actually
eat a buffet supper at your
home!
This really isn't fair to
those you invite, so why not
make your invitations speci-
fic. In a case such as the
above, state clearly Cocktail
Buffet" and your guests will
know what plans to make.
They will bless you for your
consideration, I can tell you
that. hssa
The folded over informal
card is an excellent medium
for issuing an invitation to.
such a party. In the, center
of the outside of the small
card the name is engraved
"Mr. and Mrs. John Francis
Proper" and the address is
placed in the lower right
hand corner. Plain white,
double cards may also be used
and the name and address
handwritten, instead Of en-
graved. H..
On the inside of the card,
