DOROTHY RAYMER, Socicty Editor Only seven days to go; Santa’s loading up! And so are you I'll bet. Also don’t take bets on having all your Christmas shopping done or your cards mailed out because there is also just one more. Don’t you love the sound of the belle on the streets? Carols and caril ali day long, and the air is filled with music. Mighty Christ- masy weather we're having too, Y'll bet. Well, let’s get on with the x *wk ‘The popularity of straw bags goes on and on. They are a nice fine milans. Ditty Box has se many gifts now of the colorful adapt- able straws, and grasses. Go in and look around, you'll surely find the answer to that pesky gift problem. * * * More Christmas candy to delight the kids. This kind will keep amazingly well in our climate. Line a 5” by 9” loaf pan with waxed paper, making sure some of the paper. extends over the edges. This little trick makes it easier to remove candy from pan. Now melt 2 packages (12 07.) semi-sweet chocolate pieces over hot (not boiling) water. Dump in 2 cups of peanuts or 3 cups fresh- ly popped popcorn. Transfer to the lined loaf pan and cool in the re- frigerator until firm. Then take eandy from pan by lifting out the paper and cut into 24 bars. Easy as pie! x *w* It seems that everytime you get dressed up to go to some kind of beeg affair, the weather man turns ornery With this in mind, Mar-Ed’s have some very charming short black persian capes, short white brad tall jae- kets and lined black Welvet stoles, Of course the furs aren't real, but it would take an expert to tell it. Selah! the answer to cold evenings and bare shoulders. If you don’t already have your evening clothes. . .or if there will be more parties than you plan- ned, the evening clothes at Mar- Ed are really stunning. The sew- ing machines are whirring and the most wonderful dresses you ever saw keep joining others on the racks. A look in the windows should be convineing enough. x * * A New York County Court has ruled that “he that spareth his rod hateth his son” and told the teacher to go right ahead and spank any pupil who drops books tut of the window on the heads of classmates he doesn’t like. How vise is he going to let the class- mate know he doesn’t like him? x * * A South Seas Christmas table is & sight to behold, but what do natives of the Carribean do at Christmas time? Fir trees and snow are quite out of place. . . hence just the kind of table mentioned. Anyhow the South Seas Table in the Carribean Room at Gift House is a lovely thing for all year ‘round, It features a Tapa Cloth cover, bamboo cutlery, @ big shining Chafing Dish, Salad fork, spoon and knife of wood earved in Kenya, Wine Carafes + + .shl Just gorgeous! want to buy it all, but any part. of it is a good start and a gift of these lovely things will be ap- preciated. Then there's the all-plastic ice bucket that looks Old English Stone Ware and is insulated to keep ice all day.

On the distaff side, please don’t think Chie is only for the | ladies: €hie Store Uptown has many items of men’s wear. The famous Town Topic Sportswear « « “over 70 years the talk of the town” as advertised in the Saturday Evening Post. . .is ex- clusive with Chic in the new Dan River fabrics or hand washable rayons.

Well, Caroline Shop has them now, so you can finish the drapes before Christ- mas. In the gift department, some- thing 90 new and unthought of « » .by me, are the miniature water colors, signed merely “’B. Hatch.” Charming little Key Weet scenes. . .no two alike. Wonderful for that “little gift.” Pretty little individual canape trays are another little gift as are the other smart trays. Then the stocking holders for storing precious nylons are a fine gift ideal. Well, Caroline Shop has them all, so hurry in while the selection is good. . .and don’t forget “B. Hateh.” x kk ¥f you’ve been so exasperated at your shopping, standing on one foot and then another waiting around for attention from a busy salesgirl, or couldn’t find what you want, or million other little things that are the bane of all shoppers, that you feel like going right home for a good cry, just give a listen. One of our better known shop keepers told me yesterday that after a hectic day WAITING on Christmas shoppers, she went home, poured a tot of rum in her steaming cup of hot coffee, and then unexpectedly burst into tears and blubbered right into that deli- cious cafe royale, from the sheer exasperation of it all. You think you have it bad. Just how many days of this Christmas season are spent at shopping? Well, salesgirls and shop keepers have it every day. Be kind, won't you? xe While at a party at the Casa Marina last Saturday night | couldn't resist peeking into that beautiful new Casa Marina Dress Shop.

In connection with the provision of the air conditioner, Dr. Lance Lester, Jr., chief of surgery wrote a letter to the members of the organization in which he thanked and congratulated them for the much needed gift. Wrote he, “Every nurse and doctor, as well as every: patient who must spend time in that operating room, will greatly appreciate and benefit from your noteworthy kindness. Please let me emphasize that every piece of needed equipment that you donate will permit better work by the doctors for the citizens of this community. And, after all, we are here to serve you and yours to the best of our ability.” A portable light for the operat- ing room, incubator, and heaters for hospital rooms including the obstetrical and delivery rooms are ordered but have not yet been received. The Auxiliary also dis- cussed ways and mean to raise funds for an X-ray developing tank and dryer and a basic meta- bolism machine.

The glamor, glitter and bustle of a city are at first at- tractive, but he discovers that making a fortune does not bring total happiness and costs him the love of the girl he adores, for a time. Finally he returns to the full and satisfactory life close to the rich earth. There is strong drama, realism and fascinating musical sequence throughout the film. The famous trio, Los Aguilillas adds to the harmony blend. One song is es- pecially notable: ‘‘Mexico Lindo,” which means “Beautiful Mexico.” The theme is based on a poem by Emilio Fernandez ‘‘Suave Pa- tria,” “Soft (or smooth) Country.” The scenes are magnificently pho- tographed. The story is understandable even by non-Spanish speaking people and is worth seeing for its music and the scenery. to Mrs. Gladys Barber who is the consultant at Dr. Valdes’ place over on Duval Street for the correct glasses after Dr. Val- des has prescribed the correct lens.

Doors | ; Nursery School Forum Conducted For Parent Group The regular meeting of the parents of the nursery-age pupils of Jack and Jill Joyland was held last Thursday evening, December 11 at the school, 1100 Margaret Street. All the parents participated in the informal open forum discussion led by the director, Mrs. Rose Frank. Topics touched upon were the aims and procedures of nur- sery school and the typical be- havior of children of that age. The importance of helping chil- dren to mature emotionally and socially and to adjust happily to group regulations, providing en- reiching experiences rather than meaningless formal drilling or memorization, was stressed. Samples of the children’s draw- ings and clay modeling were ad- mired. The purposes of such crea- tive activity was discussed. Refreshments were served at the conclusion of the evening. Young Heroine Doesn't Believe All She Hears SPEARMAN, Tex. (?—To every- body who ever wanted to “tell off a eop,” and to citizens here and in nearby Amarillo, Tex., blonde Nancy Ownbey is a real heroine. Nancy is 7. She and her brothers, Jim Steve, 5, and Robbie, 4, were riding down an Amarillo street with their mother, Mrs. Robert J. Ownbey of Spearman. A pickup truck hit the ear. The jolt threw Mrs. Ownbey out. The car rolled on. Nancy had a sprained foot, byt she grabbed the wheel, stood on the brake and brought the car to a stop. She calmly turned off the ignition and picked up her mother’s purse. At the hospital, while Mrs. Ownbey was being examined, an officer asked to see her driver’s license. “It’s in my billfold in my purse,” she said, “but I don’t know where the purse is.” “Your little girl has it,” said the officer and went to see Nancy. Nancy looked him in the eye. “My mama’s hurt, You can’t have her purse.” “But I need her billfold,” said the law. “You can’t have it,” said Nancy, putting it behind her. “But your mother told me to take it,” the officer said. “I want her driver’s license.” Nancy put a hand on her hip. “How do I know she told you to take it? Maybe you're just telling me so to get it.” “But I’m an officer of the law- I’m supposed to see drivers’ licenses . . .” “You can’t have it. You might not even be a policeman. You might just be dressed up like one.” At that critical moment, W. R. Hill of Amarillo, Mrs. Ownbey’s uncle, arrived, Nancy gave him the purse. He gave the cop the driver’s license. The officer examined it and re turned it to Nancy. “Aren’t you going to thank the policeman?” Hill said, “No,” said Nancy. “He didn’t thank me.” LORRE IS SUED NEW YORK — Actor Peter Lorre, 48, was sued for separation Monday by his 34-year-old wife, Ingeborg.
