^ * BY MARy BROWN
uays oi a spuuy saaaie
shoe for a spottier saddle shoe are
over. Whether it is on the cam
pus, in an office, or just lazy living,
the days of the urge to look like a
carbon copy of everyone else are
passing. And I can’t think of any
thing more important to shout
about at the moment.
Remember, girls, “he” is sick of
regimentation. He's had a heartful
of it in the service and he would
like to come home and be able to
pick you out of the crowd all by
himself instead of having you
wear a red rose to distinguish you
from the other gals with bangs |
and other badges of group living
Conversation is one of the most j
important cues to personality, and
if you sound like a houseful of j
monkeys, he won’t linger on your ;
doorstep very long pleading for j
your free evenings. One of the
easiest things to imitate is con-'
vernation. If we have a group of.
words thrown at us long enough1
we will pick them up and carry
them around and we never
seem to imitate the worthy ones.
It is usually “slang” that has been
lashed to pieces already, and that
makes an evening or a day with
you u pretty haggard pastime.!
Slang, not “girl-talk,” is out. All
that chit-chat that “girls” of any 1
age must do when they get to- j
gvtncr is as much an integral part
of the American scene as apple;
pie and the flag . . . but don’t let •
the chatter-chatter drip over onto
your relatives and your beau.
S.:i he is proud of you . . but
he'll be even prouder, and you
a tricycle, bank, car and some
candy. nuts and fruit. Be good
to mama and daddv. Love. Doug
las Lancaster.
Dear Santa Claus—I am a
little girl five years old I am
not old enough to write this let
ter. so mama is writing for me.
Please bring me a telephone,
bit. Dv-dee doll, small record pla
ce. a doll with a long black
negligee, and a tea set. Don’t
e rget ail the other boys and
gads. Thank you. Sandra Jean
Gums.
Dear Santa Claus—I am a lit
tle bov six years old. I would
like for you to bring me an elec
tric train a little bicycle, a harp,
and a cowboy suit. And anything
else you would like to bring me.
Love. Arthur Macon Morris. Hal
ifax. North Carolina.

ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED
Mrs. R. S. Fountain of Weldon
las announced the engagement I
win oe more sure of him, if there
is something that makes you
stand out in the crowd. You know,
like being the girl who twists the
best looking ribbons m her braid,
or knows how to whip up a cari
cature of anyone in the room at
the drop of a piece of charcoal, or
tennis or dancing. . . No man will
run away from a good uancer un
less her waist is too wide to cir
cle. There are talents we must be
born with . . . but there are the
ones we can conquer, and it is
those at which we are usually
most proficient.
One ot the most important arts
in the world is ■'listening." 1 don't
know why it always has such a
back seat because the people who
are good listeners are the ones
who arc more in demand than
their wordier sisters Listening
has a wonderful effect. It makes
the other people glow They feel
important . and you grow. You
grow because you aren’t busy
telling what you know, you are
absorbing more than you know.
Well, how about a campaign of
creation. A new talent for you.
Pick out something you can do a
little better than most or some
thing you want to do better and
concentrate on it until you ure
associated with it pleasantly Even
if you have two left ieet at this
point why not try to whittle them
down to one right and one left
foot. Then when you get on a
dance Hoor you and your partner
will be most likely to go in the
same direction.

to Bill Reid of Elizabeth City.

New Look Furniture
Unlike the new look in styles, the latest in fine modern furniture,
combining art with engineering, has had a remarkably favorable
reception. The fine proportions, and delightfully fluid lines of ihe
chair, table, and desk above, which appear in the December issue
of House Beautiful magazine are not accidental. The chair, assembled
from only three mass-produced units, makes the most of the flexible
strength ot bent plywood for comfort and low cost. The furniture
above, designed by Alvar Aalto, U distributed in the United States
