10 THE POSTBrSTANDARD, Syracuse, K. Friday, May 14. 1354 Stampede Helps Business Handera Bounce Is Saddle-Spring Samba to Hill-Billy Rhythm BY INEZ ROBB BANDERA, sir, here I am deep the heart of. at Bandera which fs down the road 50-60 miles from San Antonio. Down the read in fie hill and the dude ranch country, which is mighty That where I -am.

but If you ask me why, I'm sort of confused myself. I set out to visit a spell in San Antonio, But friends I hadn't lived until I had been to a stompede in Bandera. So now I've lived it up, and I'm just kind of resting up, hoping to live again eventually. Other Western communities have stampedes to re- Inex Robb create the old days and commemorate the wild and woolly But what Bandera has Is a genuine stompede, on account this celebration is dedicated not to cattle stampedin' but to people their little feet down morning, noon, and night in a three-day dance marathan. This is just about the danclngest fiesta I have ever encountered.

When the dance halls, from the Silver Dollar at one end of the pavement to the Cabaret at the other, sot too crowded, people did their stompirf on the a i street, which is paved but otherwise could star in any Hollywood horse opera without too much revision. Whether at high noon under a sizzling Texas sun or at midnight in a steaming dance hall, young, old and middlin 1 stomped, particularly the Bandera bounce, a lively fandango I hope to introduce to the effete East on my return. The bounce can best be described ns a kind of saddle-spring samba with sprme- action. It is done to hillbilly rhythm and its requirements are speed, stamina and staying power, which is what these Texans have, The bounce is not to be confused with another Bandera favorite, the bunny hop, danced to a splendid ditty called "The Cotton-Eyed Joe." The fine points escape me, but there is a difference between the two. I believe in the hop that no holds are barred, while in the bounce, nothing more invigorating than a half nelson is allowed, (I have spent considerable research trying to ascertain what a "cotton-eyed Joe" ls but without success, I have met with no more success In trying to determme the number of citizens of Bandera.

The best answer so far is "five hundred weekdays, five thousand on Saturday night, and 50,000 during- stompede," Yippee, it seems likely.) Like all such frontier re-enactments, there is a teensy-weensy bit of commercialism concealed in the stompede. The three-day festival annually signalized that the fancy-pants dude ranches in the neighborhood have filled their swimming pools and are open for business. (This is confusing, too, for I am informed they are open for business- all year "round, only more so during the stompede.) The stompede is fine for business, and even the sheriff speaks softly on this side of the Kio Grande. Every post and building along the main stem was decorated with a neat white placard which carried a polite message from the law, to wit: "Please, no drinking on the streets. Do drinking inside.

By request of sheriffs dept." Beer and wine are the only loyal drinks in Texas. But, even so, the sheriff was on the losing side. People drifting in and out of the dance halls couldn't rightly be expected to leave a half empty can or bottle of beer behind. And if a lady or gentleman polished off a can or bottle on the street, there was hardly aught to do but drop it and leave it where it lay. Streets got kind of cluttered up, but most folks was steppin' high anyway, and no harm done.

And now, if you will excuse me, I shall back to my darkened room and lie down again. Family Scrapbook Child Learns Courtesy by Reminder BY DR. EFNEST G. OSBORNE Ten-year-old Norman started to break into the conversation between his dad and his sister. But hearing a quiet snao oC his mother's fingers, he grinned and A few before "Norm and his mother "had talked over his habit of interrupting.

"Gee, Mother." he said, "I know I shouldn't butt in so often but I Set interested and forget all about it. I wish you'd remind me Then and there they had worked out a system. Mrs. Thomoson had agreed to give the finger snap signal when she thought her son was seeming to be rude. Very often, children's rudeness is not conscious thing, It takes some time to learn how to be courteous.

And' the kind of "assist" that Norm, and his mother had agreed upon can be helpful in this process of learning. Such a procedure, of course. Is far better than for a parent to take a youngster to task directly when he is discourteous. The embarrassment that comes with such direct tactics may either cause him to draw into his shell or show resentment. It is i a too.

for jBfrcwn-ups to realize that courteous behavior doesn't come rrverrngnt. Tt has to be learned Just as do most other things.

I am very tired usually and do not feel like falking to a perfect stranger. Is there any way to discourage this without being downright rude?" You might tell the stranger exactly what you have just written me, "I hope you don't mind my not talking, but I'm really very tired!" Then close your and say nothing more.

SIGNET WNG PERMISSIBLE Dear Miss Post: My sister has always admired the simple gold crest ring that I wear on my litttte finger and has often said that she wished she had one like It. I would like to have a duplicate made for her. However, I do not want to do so unless I hear from you that it would be proper for a woman to wear a crest ring. In case it is must I go to the added expense of having the crest redesigned in the shape of lozenge? A rules heraldry have become very lax today and nobody would criticize the complete crest worn by a woman since it would be supposed that she was wearing a family ring. For this purpose it should be very plain and not at all feminine looking.

That will mean fewer shoes, hats and handbags to bother with. Vary your basics with separates, washable blouses, easily packable sweaters. Pack mentally in advance of your departure date so you'll not find an extra suitcase necessary when you get down to the serious business "stowing away" for your trip. Virtually Indispensable is the travel kit for the makeup essentials that will keep you looking daisy-fresh. These can, of course be tucked into your larger suitcase, but far more practical, is the separate kit that puts them within easy reach, Liquid cleanser you'll want for frequent fresh-ups.

Tissues, cotton balls, your favorite soap, hand lotion, cosmetics; these head the list of kit contents. Even these belongings should budgeted, and you can do that easily, a e-wise and weight-wise. Small-size containers are advisable, in plastic. Planning a vacation (any trip, in fact)' is haK the fun of it, and here's where the time budget enters your travel horizon.

They'll quote prices, give you hints on the where-to and how-to, and even advise on whom and how much to tip.

YOUNG woman distinguished in tho world of fashion will be in Syracuse briefly next "week 'or guest appearances i the presentation of her summer costume collection Thursday in Hotel Syracuse ballroom.

Born Christine Shillard-Smith Bazar and lor" in Philadelphia, she was educated at the Jrwin School for Git-Is, the Shipley School of Industrial Art and the Academy of Fine Arts, Bue she comes naturally by the artistic ability so well expressed in her colorful fabric prints and unusual designs.

Her mother was a painter and her aunt, Mrs. York Stephenson, founded the Philadelphia Art Alliance, In fact, Miss Leser's family connections also are found in Syracuse. Miss Anna OJmsted, director of Syracuse Museum of Fine Aarts, who has been influential in the art and culture of this city for a number of years, is a cousin of Miss Lescr. It was in 1940 that the tainted designer returned to New York on a buying trip and took some hand blocked materials on sail cloth and a. dress with shorts made out of Filipino labor shirting to the editors of Harper's 500 dresses by Saks Fifth Avenue, resulted from this visil, This was the beginning of the style known as the playdress.

Even if you remain right in your own backyard, Gardening, painting the house, building a home playground, taking baby on his first outdoor document your family's happiest times. But there are a fcwthings to remember for best camera results. Background, shooting angle and posing--all make the difference between good and bad pictures.

A simple background is best. A fence, a broad expanse of water, the sky, an interesting grouping of flowers--but not one of the children on a bicycle in front of the car with a bag of groceries and a fence post vicing for attention. The subject is the main thing, so choose background that won't detract from the person. If you shoot from an unusual angle--hold the camera at an odd angle. Get a girl on a bicycle instead of standing beside it--and have her stand on a rock with her head outlined against the sky, rather than merely standing her against the rock.

Never pose a lomboy as a glamor girl, but get her in blue jeans climbing a cherry tree. Animals, home interiors, pictorial shots can be improved if the photographer follows these simple rules. So pack the camera in the car and take it on family picnics or swimming parties; or take it on hiking, bicycle or canoe trips. That's one way of remembering t-he fun times.
