to American women. It offered the American family no real teeling of security. The talk was all disturbing. Talk of another war. Talk of the misery in other lands that made the individual feel both responsible and helpless. “Talk of high prices, and worse to come, The spotlight

of graft and corruption during

to make the gals jam their party finery into a crowded jalopy. » ~ » IT'S VERY, very nice to provide your date with flowers to weary« Do some advance spy work: Find out the color of her dress. Then buy a blossom to match Orchids aren't necessary, Something simple is in betler taste, And if you're stumped on the matching idea, white gardenins are almost always safe Let your girl know when you'll call for her. Not too early, not too late. At a dinner party, you must arrive on time, Half an hour after starting time is a good rule for a dance
