EASY T0 BE A GOOD HOSTESS One of the accomplishments most coveted by women is the art oi being charming. gracious lwsicsses. Most women work hard to put themselves over in that role, .\'<?'~ more of them fail Lhall succeed ‘it The most common reason for failure is that the woman is think- ing more --much more ——I1b°\1i impressing her guests, even cas- ual callers than about making them welcome. This is what too often happens when a woman entertains: Sh! wants everything to be just so. She wants everything to be just so. She xvants her guests to think she is a better housekeeper than she is. She “ants them to believe she has more money iliau she has. Elie wants them to think she has more. impressive friends than she has. She tries to fake a picture. and everything that keeps the picturz from being perfect puts her on tin’- defensive. 5m: stuns apologizing and e\- plainini; aid, 4n no time at all, her guests are ill at ease. sincerity First The hostess who gives the Sue-Sb a sincere welcome doesn't need T0 worry because she didn't get her curtains washed as she had plan- ned, or that she had to alter her menu at the last minute. It sounds almost too simple to be true, but the easiest way to win l. reputation as a gracious hos- tess is simply to make every guest feel welcome, and never mind im- pressing 111m. . AVOID SHOPPING BEADACHES NEW YORK - The best way to avoid tho headaches that usually go with the hectic Christmas shop- ping season is never to forget to be businesslike. That lapse of thoughtfulness "brings the average customer to grief" more quickly than anything else, says John A. Blum, manager of the adjustment department of a large New York department store. Drawing on his long experience, Blum endeavors to ease the shop- ping woes of Americans by listing these do's and donts in an Ameri- can Magazine article: 1. Don't throw away your sales check after you've made a pur- chase. The check will save you time and trouble if you have to make an exchange. 2. Don't demand to see the man- ager about an exchange or adjust- ment that can be made by the sales clerk. 3. Read the labels on merchan- dise. Find out how to use and care for the things you buy, and what tl-ieyre for. 4. Dcrrt expect luxury goods to last longer than utility items be- cause they cost more. Dancing shoes, for instance, aren't made for hiking. 5. check your name and address on the sales check for delivered merchandise after the clerk has written it. Wrong addresses are the No. i cause of non-delivery. lNeedlecraftf i/FOR THE HOME/ KITCHEN GLAMOUB Prwllfi-Hlly- this Little apron is perfect It's topped by a beautifully fitting bodice . . . rpiccd with big pockets. bright ric rac, and scallops that aeainrper along line hcrnline.

This came about because of a \\li~ll expressed by Ellen, iiiccc and mimesxike of miiic. she is now a sfudciit in a city vollege, "am- dfiuil.” she explained to me. Last evening slic called by ‘phone, to bill’ rather ivistfully “Ikl like n, much aunt Ellen, if I could gct some pine in take home with me, for our Christmas decorations. You know there's none to be, hgd may where we live and as I was won- dering about it, I remembered Al- dcrlea. How about “down by the old mill stream?" and she sang the last words.

In season roses blossom there in profusion, and before that white lilacs and other flowering shrubs. But it is the shore - oh there it is that the thought of Ellen and her brothers and sisters will always re- turn, should they chance to stray to the ends of the earth, to the boating and swimming and the long happy hours spent there.

U O I For Ellen is one to get along wall with her uncle-in-law. He enjoys her visits to Alderlea, as indeed do we as a. family. She has the happy faculty of enrbroidering even the smallest local hapfwning to make it most interesting and hum- orous. Better ever than this to Jmnes‘ mind is that aside from her personal interests, she invariably keeps wcll informed on iarm a!- fairs, which allows the tzwo to talk shop comfortably together. “Oh, I don't know, James" I re- pllgd "1 suppose she wants it for wreaths for doors or windows, or perhaps to fill vases."
