Here's a good menu for such an

-By ALICIA HART GET THE SUNTAN SITUATION well in hand right now. Make up your mind whether you are going to retain a dark coat of tan until late in the fall or whether you are going to be lily white since you are wearing fall clothes. Don’t go in for

half-way measures on this subject. Be tanned or be white. Don’t be half-tanned. o ” ”

WORK on your hands. If you've had a fine summer of plenty of swimming, golf and tennis, it’s more than likely that your nails are shorter than you like to have them and that backs of hands and fingers aren’t as smooth as they were last spring before you started summer sports. Use your nail brush each time you wash your hands; always dry them carefully, then apply hand lotion. Better keep hand lotion on the kitchen shelf as well as in the bathroom. Lightly rub small callouses at sides of nails with a piece of wet pumice now and then between manicures. Massage oil or cuticle cream into dry cuticle around the nails, Don’t cut the cuticle, and don’t let a manicurist scrape the base of nails with a steel instrument, Bits of dead skin should be removed with a cotton tipped orange stick, dipped in cuticle remover.

Realizing that most of the girls on its various projects come from families having $750 and less to live on for a year, the NYA has worked out a yearround high school girl’s wardrobe for about $30. :

That’s the cost of all materials, hats and shoes. A siege at the sewing machine has to accomplish the

By following . these rules, many an NYA-outfitted miss may look fresher and cuter than one all done up in furs and furbelows. For any “show me” skeptics, here are the estimates of basic costs for the: minimum wardrobe: DRESSES: For winter: 1 cotton evening dress with jacket; 1 dark gabardine’ date dress; 1 heavy sport-denim skirt, jerkin and white shirt set; 1 corduroy jacket.

it in a way she thinks looks attractive without bothering at all to see that the chairs are grouped together for conversation. She doesn’t seem 'to care whether tables holding lamps and ash trays are close to every chair, or whether chairs are upholstered in ‘durable enough material so that a guest isn’t uneasy all evening for fear he might drop an ash on a creamcolored satin chair. : LO Re THEN, too, there is -the hostess who prides herself -on playing whatever game “they” are playing, or entertaining in whatever way is fashionable at the moment. Even if her friends are the'kind of people ‘who. would rather sit in the living room and talk than learn a new game or be dragged to the basement to pitch horseshoes—they do what their hostess has planned for them to do. None of these women has “the knack of making guests comfortable and happy. But all these women think they are good host esses, since they give exactly the kind of parties they want to give. A really good hostess is one who offers the kind of food and entertainment that appeals to each individual guest, instead of entertaining just to please herself.
