Carl Niesse, 6363 Allisonville Rd., has started something which should renew the “drop the handkerchief” technique of getting acquainted. If you're fortunate enough to possess one of these pure linen objects, you can now walk by the stag line, drop the hankie and really impress your victim. The reason for this is a picture of vourself screen-processed onto the corner of the material thereby insuring recognition on the next meeting.

M. Ryan, 519 E. 48th St, Mrs. William E. Kennedy Jr. 5346 Central Ave. can vouch for that.
The two Indianapolis women, both proud of their canasta talents, attempted a game recently in the Kennedy home with Mrs. Sam Hanks and Mrs. Johnny Parsons, race drivers, wives from California. Both guests admitted they had played very little canasta but their score indicated otherwise, The hostess could blame it on to beginners’ luck if it'll make her feel better. Jim Abbott, Los Angeles, Cal.,- who came here for the races, is the Kennedy's houseguest. » - ” IT'S HARDER ts get a baby sitter for a dog than for children. This discovery was made by Mr. and Mrs. Clarance East, 881 West Dr., Woodruff Place. The Easts, who are preparing for a trip to Los Angeles to attend a meat convention, have managed to make arrangements for their three children but somehow, the dog doesn't fit into this picture. Considering the type of convention it will be, the Boston Terrier should be allowed to accompany the travelers. n - = TWIN DRIVE-IN is doing something tonight which should set a precedence for other theaters. Proceeds from this evening's show will be given to the PTA.

Get up to wash and go to the bathroom, to tend to the baby and. tidy your bedroom-and then go back to bed. Wear something that won't crush when you lie down, that will wash when the baby burps on you. Keep a rubber pad, some tissues and a bottle warmer by your bed (an electric gadget that's an inexpensive wonder) and make this your baby headquarters. Lie down to nurse, to burp, to feed. Let your visitors, if you must have them, talk to you here. If the older children want you, let them come to find you. Try to arrange to havé your meals on’ trays; even if
