The class discussion and criticism is stimulating and helpful and as a result a number of the students have sold stories and articles to both pulp and slick magazines. Newcomers will be welcomed to the meetings of the class.

It Is, therefore, ther one time of year in which speculating 5n what's ahead and to be ahead profits us And since par ticular new season there are going to be big contradictions confusions, a veritable fashion tiptide, the safest path to real smartness and contentment, with what we buy is to concentrate on one perfect outfit.

Concerning many outfits, we can hardly make wise plans at a single sitting. But a single outfit yes! We can watch not merely fabrics and colors but also the kind of shoes for this special kind of costume; the kind of hat for this special' outfit: the related, sympathetic details which in the end add up to something exciting or quite a bust. Now it really doesn't matter much what you want to start with as long, of course, as you don't get too fancy for your way of living. But whether you pick a suit or a dress (tailored for gadding) or a coat "plus," whether you like your costume casual or citified, whether your heart is set on a costume of dress with its own wrap, or you Steve Mezzera Awarded Plaque Steven A. Mezzera, who has resigned as director of recreation, parks and music in Petaluma, was presented a plaque in honor of his services to the city, during a meeting of the City Council last night.

Mayor Vincent J. Schoeningh made the award, commenting that "We are sorry to 'see you go, but are glad at the same time that you are going into a field where your talents may be put to better use." Mezzera, apparently touched by the ceremony, responded to note his pleasant relationships with the city administration and employes, commenting briefly on the future of the recreation pro gram here.

"As a matter of fact, love stories are just as popular as they ever- were," she explains, "only people aren't getting them. But I think the tide will turn; as soon as editors sop being afraid of words like 'love, and 'romance'." Those words have never frightened Miss Bacon. For more than two decades she has edited magazines frankly calling themselves such names as "Love Story Magazine." "Right now," she goes on, "everyone thinks they hav.e to cash in on this realism business, but pretty soon they'll have to ask themselves if they haven't gone far enough with shocker stuff like alcohoHsm, snake-pits, crime and sex. They'll have to ask themselves whether they've really been engaged in uplift or just peeking into sordid lives." She is torn between disapproval and amusement at the current practice in Hollywood and television of writing in a love theme rather than developing a good, sound story line in' which the motivation frankly 'springs from romantic sentiments. "In spite of the fact that they now most people enjoy a love otory, the tendency nowadays is to treat love as if it were an icebox leftover which should be added to a main course so it won't be wasted," she complains.

"And nobody, can tell me that's satisfactory." And because she's convinced that the wheel of fashion -is now swinging from unhappy realism to pleasant stories reflecting a gentler world. Daisy Bacon has written a primer for would-be love story writers. For some reason, she says, ambitious authors seem to think that writing love stories is the easiest job in fiction. "It isn't," she cautions sternly. "And -a hundred clinches don't make a love story.

Everyone who has- had any experience with romance divorces, girls who have been through a couple of engagements think they can string together a series of embraces, add some moonlight, and come up with a love story. "Actually, the love story Is all. that any other story is except that it is motivated by the love angle. Some very good ones have been written without using even the word 'love once and without a single embrace." Daisy Bacon's book, laced heavily with her own experiences through years of coping with authors good and bad, has a hatful of rules for ambitious young writers of any kind. Among other sound pieces of advice, she admonishes against trying to write stories against an unfamiliar background or using unfamiliar characters.

Embryo writers are advised to. study the publication to which they propose to submit their work, make their manuscript neat and clean, and to submit return postage. But exactly how to write love stories? "They are not easy to write at least not easier than other story types," she said. "In the long run, they are probably a little harder since the author must watch out for so many things; that what he writes does not become And how about Miss Bacon herself, the expert on love stories. "No," she says, "I've never been married.

Still looking for the Ideal Man." complete with isn't dead prefer, to assemble your own, it is all up to you. However, there are certain ac cessory angles which go only with this or that. So if you. are devoted to flat heels or no hat or full skirts, accept the un avoidable fact that your rick has to be geared to this. Just everything will not go together.

Without recognizing all this. you'll surely get into trouble. 1 am deeply convinced that a pencil and paper clarify every thing. Our ideas can fuzz up and confuse us. P.ut stark black and white is very real.

So put it down the accessories you either have on hand or are determined to buy. Then write down the dream outfit you had thought of starting out with. And then check one against the other. For you can't wear a saucy high hat if your heels are flat nor a full skirt if your new coat is three-quarter nor a corselet waistline if you refuse to wear foundations- nor a handsome tweed great coat if. alas, you insist upon wearing a variety of printed silk dresses.
