All good kids who think they de- serve new clothes had better put }in their bid before the family Christmas budget is used up. Taffeta and net are high on the | list for party formals.

This is the season for First Night- ers—first big evening daters. It may be a house party. Or it may | be a school or country club dance. Whatever it is—your manners will be showing. No finery can hide the fact that you-don’t-know-how-to-act (if you don’t).

Off you go to the party. If you drink punch, don’t swig it down. Sip it. And don’t crook your finger while you hold the cup. If a buffet service is tendered, the boy may offer to serve you. He may not really want to. Boys are so hungry usually by the time food appears that it is hard for them to be gentlemanly about it. Make light of it and offer to get your own. It'll be more fun, and you can eat together while the food is hot.
