Party
By MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX The buffet supper takes the servant problem out of American enter-
has a few helpful buffet -hints. “At any of these buffet parties, the hostess need have no -anxiety about sufficient service. If she can [provide 3 maid to remove the dishes as they are” used and empty the ashtrays, that is all she has to consider, for the guests do the rest.
Entertains No Worries
“Neither does she have to worry about the promptness with which her guests arrive at such a meal, or about the matter of dress, for this is determined by the character of the party,” Miss Lounsbery says in her comprehensive new | book called “Let’s Set the Table.” “As to the placing of the table in the dining room for the buffet supper, I would recommend that a space be cleared for it along the wall and the table then pushed back against it, suggesting a counter rather than a table. “When possible, such a [table should be seven feet long, or, at least, extended to its full length, whatever that may be. This type of. service necessarily requires the use of more dishes and accessories than at a formal meal, and the table will be overcrowded if too small ‘a size is used,” she adds.
Balance Serving Table
“The heartier foods should be placed at the ends of the table, say a roast turkey at one end and at
the other a baked ham to be carved by accommodating guests; or cold cuts at one end and dishes of baked macaroni, chicken a la king or some equally substantial substitute at the other. “With, the table arranged as I have suggested, there is really no place for the drinkables, and this, I think, is wise, as it helps to preserve the general effect of the table itself. It is much better toc have the decanters, bottles, glasses and bowl of cracked ice on a serving table at one side, convenient to the buffet table. Also the coffee. “As to the glasses that are to be used, the hostess may select her less elaborate crystal or draw upon her more colorful cocktail and®highball glasses, in keeping with the appointments of the table. Fine cut crystal for such a meal would take on the dignity of a formal dinner, and as such would be out of place.
Regiment Silver
“Knives and forks on a table like this should not be left in piles, but
should be laid in miltary order side by side, in regular or irregular formation, knives in one group and forks in another, or in a repetition of a knife and a fork for the requisite. number of guests. Spoons may be placed in a similar manner on another vacant spot on the table. “The napkins are best folded like a long narrow book and arranged in two or four groups overlapping each other, but in such a manner that
the decorative motif or hemstitched edge shows.”

Women Past 30 Urged to Guard Health Caretully
Bv ALICIA HART
The better your health habits, the better your chances of remaining attractive after 30 and a bit younger looking than you are. Women who eat sensibly, take enough exercise, get adequate sleep and plenty of fresh air have firmer, fresher skins, shinier hair, more supple, slender figures and better dispositions than
those who ignore health routines. In the first place, no woman past 30 ought to ¢onsider it a waste of time to have occasionally a complete physical examination. If, in spite of proper attention to simple rules for good health, you are chronically tired, much too thin, have headaches too often or a persistent pain or ache in any one part of your body, you certainly ought to see your family doctor. When you were 20, you probably could dance all night and go to work fresh and clear-eyed the next morning. Perhdps you can do that now occasionally. But the chances are that you can’t make a practice of cutting down considerably on
the bad results show in your face. Go Easy on Food
By this time, you know well how much sleep you actually require. If you are sensible, you'll get that amount just about every night. And when you don’t, you'll try to catch up by, going to bed earlier the following night. You can’t eat everything in sight three times a day and, in addition nibble between meals and not endanger the trim lines of your figure. Or even your health, for that tter. Doctors agree that it’s a bad idea for anyone past 30 to be greatly overweight. Furthermore, no matter how much you diet to keep slender, or what fine care you give your skin, your body and complexion will not be truly youthful-looking unless you get a reasonable amount of exercise. Exercise—and nothing else—keeps joints from becoming stiff, muscles flabby and the step light and airy instead of heavy and clumsy. Stimulation of circulation is the best skin treatment in the world, and going in for physical exercise is the best way to stimulate it.

Learn to Play To Avoid Being
Dull Husband |
By RUTH MILLETT
Before you start feeling sorry for the hard-working husband whose
wife drags him away from his easy chair several evenings a week to dance at the country club or play bridge with the neighbors, listen to what a man who deals in personality has to say: “It is more important for health, happiness and an ideal personality to learn to play than to read constantly, listen to the radio and go to the movies.” That is Dr. Henry C. Link talking, creator of the P. Q. “Personality Quotient,” a test of personality, and author of the new book, “The Rediscovery of Man.” The book and all of Dr. Link's ideas when you talk with him are an about-face from the personality books that say you can learn how to get along with people by following a formula,
Physical Exertion Needed
Dr. Link contends, and with good proof, that the best way to learn to get along with people is to play with them. Ih the excitement of a tennis game or the exuberance of cutting a figure on the ice, all selfconsciousness is forgotten and a person is completely himself.
If you were to give Dr. Link a list
of your activities he would tell you that the ones that demand physical exertion will do more for your personality thaan the others. “But even bridge or any other sitdown game is far better for the development of a healthy, strong personality than getting all your fun from being a looker-on or reading books. ”» So don’t feel sorry for the man whose wife insists on his getting out a few nights a week and playing with friends. He's less likely to go stale and more apt to go ahead than the man whose every single leisure hour is spent “getting away from it all.”
