And the girls | re as . K-nutiful as they are talent- 1 id. I understand that there are j nearly 5J0 girls in certain parts of I the show ?. There is not a man in the entire ;bow although there are mascuLne parts. The girls who take t'jese parts have their hair bobbed ai.d have extremely masculine charact eristics Even when these girls are off stage they dress in men's cloth ing. These girls are so convincing that I didn't know that they were girls until the show was over., .The scenery and costumes were elegant I am sure, when the fabric is suitable, that they use Japan's very exQuisite brocade silks. This particular show was staged to commemorate the recent mar riage of His Imperial Highness, the Crown Prince of Japan. Most of Che scenes dealt with old and Dew tales of love. The most impressive act in the entire show pertained to a love story which took place in the 12th century. After a fierce battle, the huge house on the set supposedly caught Are and It literally looked as if it burned to the ground. It was so realistic that 1 found myself looking around for the newest fire escape. The whole scene was a masterpiece in design and lighting Each year during January and February, about 2.000 girls between 16 and 17 take examinations for entry into Shochiku Ongaku Buyo Gakko, the Shochiku TJance and Music School in Tokyo. About 40 or 50 girls are chosen to enter the school. They are fudged on beauty, education and famWy background. As the girls are of high school age, they must continue their book learning. They are given three more years of formal education and then must serve as apprentices for one year. In their theatrical train ing they learn tap. ballet, line r chorus, old style and modern Jap anese dancing and all modern West ern dances.

"? ? ? , 'X ?JXi ? u -J How to Make Your Say "Merry Christmas" Christmas, with its magic of colored lights, is one time when the individual really carats into his own. With the same basic materials, and the same general ideas to express, it is a Source of continual wonder ta see the vastly different effects which can be created. And, ft is net necessary to go to a great deal of expense to create something which is lovely to look at and which says "Merry Christmas" to all who see it. Keeping a few simple rule* in mind and giving your imagi nation free rein, you can make your Christmas decorating a project in which the whole fam ily can share, giving everyone a feeling of satisfaction in his own individual contribution. Selecting and Caring for Tret For many of us, the tree itself will always be the central figure in any decorating scheme. Se lecting it, bringing it home, visualizing it in its dressed and lighted glory ? all add to the sense of anticipation. Select a tree that is lull and beautifully shaped. As soon as you bring the tree home, stand it in a pail er tub filled with water until you are ready to set it up and trim it. This will pro long the life and appearance of the tree, keep the needles from falling and minimize the danger of fire. Trimming Your Tr?? Lights can do a great deal to improve the shape of a tree. If your tree is long and slen der, string the lights around it; if it is short and squat, string them in verti cal rows, from top to bottom. (See Fig. 1 and Fig. 2.) Don't guess at the number of lights you need for your tree. Profes sional decorators use this for mula: Multiply the height of the tree by the width of the branches at the base, then multiply by three. A tree seven feet till, and five feet wide at the base thus would have 105 lights. Using this rule and spacing youi lights evenly, you will always have an excel lent balanced effect. (See Fig. 3.) Don't limit yourself to con ventional Christmas lights. Lamps which simulate ice crys tals or snow balls are now avail able and produce a very inter esting appearance. Consider also the flashing, twinkling or bub bling lights which give the effect of motion and are par ticularly appealing to children. sp lil f6 tri ca ar la; mi t\* gr mi Sforf at the Top ! jj| Trees should always be|s"w trimmed from the top down. ! ot] First the Angel, Star, Spear or mi other tree-top piece should be ???] 1 put in place. Than, the lights should be strung, to* to bottom. Reflectors and halo* add much to the brilliance of lights. Now you are ready for the "string type" decorations. With this much done, you can begin to place your moat interesting ornaments, selecting spots where they will show to best advan tage When all the ornaments have been placed the Hunt can be arranged, each piece hung individually on the branches. Angel hair or a spray el artifi cial snow may be added at th? very end. 1 The top-to-bottom procedure should be followed throughout It is the easiest, the fastest and, above all, the safest wayJ.That word 'safest" Is on* which yam should he conscious of through out the Christmas season, M light strings should he inspected :arefully and all Mil with worn ; ?r exposed wires replared^wlfh . lew ,U/^> approved sct\ Protect igainst short etyentta Or blowB >ut fuses by hieking lure y6u U?ve at least dn? set of light*, Rith a safety fuse plug (slrch ? hose manufactured by -NOMA, 1 JTESKThUs* should be con- i lected to the wall socjsfct , ?* > ither source of current; other ' ight strings can be ittached ' 0 it.
