The travel was strictly first class, the fashions strictly fabulous, the actors strictly from ham, and everybody had a rousing good time especially when any of the 22 children among the models were on stage! Starting off with a Chicago scene and a visit to her bank for a letter of credit the Northern Trust Company, of course, collaborator with the woman's board of Presbyteri-an-St. Lukes hospital in putting on the show Mrs. Faurot Bennett as Mrs.

There was more mischief in Japan, where a geisha girl by a tea house with a view of Mount Fujiyama in the distance. Viking Ship and Zoo Only children modeled in Stockholm in a charming setting of Viking ship, Town hall, and zoo; models and escorts sipped wine at a sidewalk cafe in Rome with the Colosseum painted on the backdrop.

Who should drop by but Cleopatra and her Anthony, complete with movie crew. A guard stood at attention in London where a busker danced and a flower girl disposed of her wares. But it was Paris that stole the show with a dinner scene at Maxim's where a splendid company of men and women dined on the eve of a wedding. For the entire scene James the happy cries which followed the youngsters in the wedding scene, especially when Frank Sims, a 6 year old of football hero proportions strode out in his blue velvet pants and bolero, none too pleased with his costume or his shoes "they're 1 girl's shoes!" This collection hadn't been priced, buj some of the models were standing by with check books ready despite the forecast: "They'll be expensive." Two other designers present were John Weitz, a tall and handsome young man who was represented by several suede outfits, and Countess Ebba von Eckermann of Stockholm, who created the delightful juvenile outfits in the Stockholm scene. Children's Hour The children stole the biggest laughs and the loudest applause, as usual.

Pamela McCabe, almost 3 years old, spotted her grandmother, Mrs. George S. Chappell president of the woman's board, in the audience and gave her a big wave. That was after she bumped into Marianne Thorne on her way downstage, but the spectators were already laughing at Betsy Searle's sigh as an usher gave her a twirl at the corner, and Clarissa Cutler's bouncy walk-she was obviously having a marvelous time the while scratching herself unconcernedly- Thomas A. Berkey got confused on the big stage, and asked directions from Mrs.

Most of the others in the dressing room were clustered around her and the others modeling the Galanos creations, exclaiming over their luxury and beauty. Tweeds and wools were popular, and fur trimmed nearly everything. The prices of some gowns vied with the jewels shown in costliness a pair of sequinned evening dresses, one green, one red, had tags of $1,895 each. Two detectives kept close watch over Mrs. Samuel Goss III and the collection of emeralds she displayed.

Mrs. Hill Blackett Jr. had her hair done especially for the show, "Even tho I had a feeling I might have to wear a wig." Sure enough, she was given a huge double pouffed blonde affair with sort of a question mark topping it, and closed the show wearing it and a beaded rose satin ball gown from Hong Kong. Everyone was loud in praise of the stage settings, the most ambitious and varied in the show's 36 year history.

And when the captain of the ship in the final scene on board the S. S. United States, returning to New York past the Statue of Liberty lifted his glass of champagne to toast the show and the audience, everyone was right in the mood to toast back to the success of this year's endeavor, and to other brilliant shows in the future.

I've asked her to pay us $25 a week for room and beard, but she thinks it's too much.

We have two other children and need her financial help, but she hasn't given me a penny so far. What do ing bring largely pressure and not pleasure. You can't expect him to practice eagerly and without a reminder every day. But private music lessons are optional in your child's life and their purpose is enjoyment now as well as in the future. If lessons lead to constant nagging about practicing, or if your child hates every minute he is forced to spend playing, you are wasting his time and yours.

You don't need to stop lessons at the first sign of discouragement or flagging interest. Sometimes a change of teachers helps, or a different type of music, or even a vacation of a few months when your child feels particularly pressured. But there is no point in insisting on years of lessons when your child gives little evidence of interest, ability, or enjoyment you think? wormed Mother Dear Worried: She should con-contribute to the family kitty, bnt $25 a week is too much.
