But what of the household with no domestic help at all? Dear Miss Vanderbilt: I have often had overnight guests and have been an overnight guest A Certain Discipline Francoise Sagan Works 12 Hours At Her Typewriter Symbol Of 'Youth In Revolt Author Sets Rigid Schedule For Writing By ANITA CO LBV PARIS Most people think of Francoise Sagan, the "enfant terrible" of French literature, as a symbol of youth in revolt, undisciplined and certainly unconventional. Yet during the three-and-one half hours I spent with her in her Left Bank apartment, I got the impression that this 23-year-old. whose frankly sexy novels have curled the hair of millions of worldly readers, is really a serious young artist who drives herself with a rigid work schedule. She has little time or inclination for escapades in the "youth in revolt" tradition.

The author of such popular novels as "A Certain Smile" and "Bonjour Tristesse" had invited me to spend an afternoon with her at her i "3k home. When I walked down the hall toward her door, I could hear the keys of her typewriter chattering away and I felt a little guilty about interrupting her. But when Mile. Sagan an-swered the door, looking very young in a pink knitted shirt pulled down over a grey flannel skirt, she assured me that she was through for the day even though she is hard at work on a new novel. In her spacious apartment, which she shares with her husband, two dogs, a cat and piles of jazz records, she curled up on a big chair and talked about her work.

When she starts a book, 4 i vs 1 if 1 jsj r4r. II thought of unmade beds. The critic of a very famoua columnist once described him as looking like "an unmade bed," an epithet that followed him all his life. Dear Miss Vanderbilt: My sister-in-law is opening a restaurant. She Invited her relatives and friends on opening night.

My mother-in-law insists that when paying the tab we should leave a cash donation as a gift. Is this proper? A. R. I think your sister-in-law would be hurt. By all means send flowers, telegrams, notes or cards of congratulations, but don't leave cash contributions.

Dear Miss Vanderbilt: How does a widow wear her wedding ring? Mrs. A. J. She continues to wear it on the third finger of her left hand. If she hopej for remarriage (and what widow doesn't?) she can within a few minutes always tell anyone who interests her and can let him know that she is a widow.

myself. And for years I have wondered whether the guest should make the bed in the morning or Ipave it unmade for the hostess to take apart and remake. I alwayn remake a hfd aftr a jruest ha used It, but personally I would prefer they (he or she, make It up, as I never 8 ft in chore until after the jruest has been fpd and departed. And I do this when I am a guest In a friend's home. Will you please write about this? Sirs.

R. L. Because I do consider this a modern problem in etiquet, I have in my book used Red Cross illustrations on bedmaking. Wben a guest is sure that he or she can make a bed properly, and has the time and the desire to help, it is kind for him to do so. Often the early-departing guest hasn't time to completely remake the bed.

But many considerate people who are guests in nouses with little or no domestic help make their own beds during the course of their visit. It Is kind under Hie circumstances, if there is no time to remake the bed or If linen Isn't available, for the departing guest to remove the sheets, fold them neatly along with the blankets and place them on the foot of the bed after first replacing the bedspread In the approved manner. This way, the harried hostess can at least put the sheets into her hamper and Ignore the guest room until she has free time.

This doesn't sound like undisciplined youth, does it? "I am happiest when writing," she explained, "but I don't believe in waiting for Inspiration to strike. I work whether I feel like it or not so much each day." When not actually writing, she spends much of her time alonereading. "I learned to write by reading," she said, "not by taking lessons in writing." Her favorite American authors are F. Scott Fitzgerald, Budd Schulberg, Ernest Hemingway and Tennessee Williams.

Francoise said that she was the kind of career girl a Frenchman likes to marry "the kind who stays home all day and stops working when her husband arrives." Naturally, as Francoise is considered a symbol of modern youth, I asked her about young people today, both in America and France. This thoughtful young lady replied: "The young people In America, because there are so many nationalities mixed there, they try to be the same. All are of the same pattern. They are not Individualistic. "In France, you are encouraged to be Individualistic.

You are free in every way. This makes It better when it comes to expressing your ideas." Another question that I had to ask her, in view of her controversial hooks and the fact that she married a man considerably her senior, was about marriage, Is it a trend fo'r young women lo marry older men? Francoise replied: "I do not know If it is a trend, and I rannot generalize. But young men are not sure of themselves today and young women want security as well as love. Guy (Guy Schoeller, her husband) Is just like me we like the same things. I would have married him even four years ago." In her seven-room apartment, Francoise has a workroom.

I peeked inside and saw a typewriter, with a half completed sheet in it, piles of copy paper neatly stacked and an overflowing bookcase. It was as functional and austere as an office. "I like it that way," she said. "After all, I write for myselfnot for fame or money." 'fe--y if Plan June Nuptials A June wedding is planned by Nancy Louise Dasch and Frederick Carl Hrau.
