SOCIETY — PERSONALS — NEWS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN ITEMS OF INTEREST TO EVERYONE SUE JONES, Editor Thursday, May 6, 1954 Our Town’s paper is certainly seething with activity this morn- ing (Wednesday), Phones are with inquiries regarding the election returns, everybody is busy writing, ipa pe fee charting things. Have no one whom chat while I wait for the roofs of “BB.” : eesyivia just came in with the news that today will be “cooler” and this sounds perfect for shoot- ing to the sales and barreling to the buys — as follows: sss Don’t get a goat when the grass grows high, and by the me token, don’t let that over- own lawn get yours — go fo aldwin’s Garden Store, across from the Commissary. Ask for one of their “Excello” rotary, power lawn mowers. Using one of these guaranteed power mowers which sell for $89.00 is the quick and easy way to well-cut grass in your yard. Mr. Baldwin also rents these dandy mowers for a nominal fee. Sefees The experience the other even- ing of seeing the house of Mrs. Everesta Stevens and also the ad- jacent picturesque, sspacious one her daughter, Miss Hilda Cun- niff was of such vivid enjoyment and such an admixture-of what was, what is and the lovely party then in progress — well, am afraid the telling of- it might get con- fused. 4 The scenic surroundings, the lovingly cared for grounds, the wealth of flowers, the majestic trees, the sweeping stretch down to a sea wall where the Atlantic made murmuring noises (it was fairly calm that night) all prompt- ed me to pry, and I’m afraid that I did! (Excuse me, please for a moment —shall resume after—) 4 a2 28 Visiting the Harley - Davidson Sales and Service, at 130 Duval discovered they esent a pesrehirngh Pein ich have ‘produced hundreds of thousands of fine motors: for: the roads of the world). <#%s—« It is a once-in-arlifetime ex- perience to own-and:-ride the Harley - Davidson 74 OHV- Amer ica’s best and the world’s finest motorcycle. And don’t forget — that famous hydra - glide fork isn’t the table kind — but it means, wonderful riding comfort and smoothness only found with the Harley-David- son motorcycle. Sse=ez However, Mrs. Stevens is an ex- ceedingly gracious person and so we went into her house — where midst a sense of time, she sketch- ed the history involved. Weeds had at one time nearly obliterated all this present beauty. The house was originally a carriage house, and as she says — she twisted it about a bit, Then, down near the sea wall was a shack which she trans- ferred to the front of the main edifice. This is now the kitchen. The walls are still of the original heavy type cardboard — and charming. The handsome living room with its high, dark (creosoted) beamed ceiling, the wide veranda on the front, the breathtaking view, all contributed to the feeling that an authentically humble history was enlarged upon with fine simplicity, and a restrained grandeur. Near here, Thelma Strable wrote “Reap the Wild’Wind” — and in- deed Mrs. Stevens and her daugh- ter, Miss Cunniff have reaped the wild weeds into a bountiful harvest of beauty.

Students. who are selected to at- tend one of the highly technical courses offered at Fort Bliss have already demonstrated outstanding potential ability to perform certain duties with the skill required by the military service. The training received at these schools develops this potential ability, and graduates are qualified to render a signifi- cant contribution to their country at a time when a critical need ex- ists for trained specialists, and al- so provides the student with ex- tremely valuable training which will serve as an excellent back- ground for civilian employment in later life. Sgt. Milian was awarded the Ko- rean Service Medal and the Good Conduct Medal during his tour of duty in Korea. Sinee his return from Korea in April, 1953, he has been stationed at Maywood, Illinois, until his sel- ection and assignment to the Artil- lery School at Fort Bliss.

Am afraid my horse paused while I wrote a bit, so it was late by the time I got to the Country Fair but I did see what a wonder- ful thing it is.

Editor Girls who plan tropical vaca- tions in search of Latin romance should practice up on some old world manners, advises handsome Carlos Pellerano, who handles tourist matters for the Dominican Republic. yen girl who expects to get to first hase with a Latin swain, says Carlos, should observe these rules: 1. Never make a noise like a career woman. The Latin ideal of feminine charm is strictly a cling- ing vine. 2. Never try to pay your own dinner check, even if it is included in the price of your package tour, if you are dining with a Latin. This is considered a mortal insult by male Dominicans, as well as others. 3. Never wear shorts or slacks on the street. It just isn’t done by local nice girls. 4, Remember that most young men south of the border have been reared in the old tradition of strict formality. Says Carlos: “TI courted the same girl for sev- en years, but I never was allowed to see her alone until after we were married. After the engage- ment was announced, I was permit- ted to call at her home from 8 to 10 in the evening, but even then, there had to be a chaperone pres- ent. That’s why Latins marry young—you have to get married to see your girl.” 5. Practice up on your rhumba. All Latins love to dance. 6. Learn to look helplessly fem- inine, and you'll always find a courtly swain eager to help. 7. Don’t giggle when your Latin beau kisses your hand. This is merely a mark of his deep re- spect, and corresponds to the American custom of tipping the hat to a lady. 8. Don’t be afraid to accept the attentions of a Latin-American beau. You'll find him the soul of chivalry. ‘ 9. When on a date with a Latin, don’t talk about such spbjects as our job or politics. Your escort earache discuss the length of your eyelashes or the light of the tropical moon. 10. Don’t be surprised if your evening ends with a serenade. It’s an old Latin custom still observed, and one enjoyed by the gentlemen as well as their ladies. Says Carlos: “ve been married 13 years, and just the night before I left for the United States I serenaded my wife. She liked. it too.” It you ase worrying about the Wives, Bldg. 83, Seaplane Base Women By Dorothy Roe jitterbug jive of your teen-ager, don’t. It’s all an expression of Amer- ica’s great new vitality in apprec- iation of the dance, says Kyra Nijinsky, daughter of the late great Yaslav Nijinsky, high priest of the ballet and the modern dance. A vibrant brunette with a vol- canic manner, Miss Nijinsky has been in America for less than two months, teaching classic ballet at the Ballet Arts School in New York | and training her own group for| television and concert appearances. | She says: | “Dancing in America is at the! world’s highest level. Here you are | so vital, so alive, so conscious of | every form of the dance. This coun- try is on the verge of a great) renaissance of the art of the dance. And I hope to be a part of it.” Trained as a dancer since the age of 6 by her famous father, Kyra is absorbed heart and soul jin the evolution of the dance. She seems to find it difficult to sit still, and has the air of a bird arrested in flight when she sits down. Even then her eyes are dancing, her hands illustrating her words in motion. She says: “Any kind of dancing is good— even this jitterbug craze of which you speak. It’s all a part of the whole urge of this young, great country to express emotion through movement—and that is good. “There has been too much snob- bery about the dance. The classic ballet has been too formalized, too revered by its exponents. I believe in a freer, more pliable technique. ‘Of course, one must know the! ballet first, but one need not be: bound by its forms. | “In school I teach the traditional ballet, but with my own group I| use my own methods. The classic ballet cannot fully express this modern, rushing age of ours. And | that is what I am trying to in- terpret, in motion.” Miss Nijinsky had her own dance school in Florence for eight years before coming to New York, and has lectured widely throughout Europe. Many primitive peoples fail to, recognize that death can come from natural causes, believing that if a person dies without being wounded he is a victim of sorcery.
