And speaking about vaca tions, Arna Duryea of 382 Sterling Place decided to have an early holidaj 'c's year, probably because she had a yen to go South. She decided on the Cloister at Sea Island, Ga. though she selected it with some trepidation, for she felt that this was not the season. However, we are glad to report that a colorful postcard of the Cloister South Patio reads "Dear Ruth, this is a perfectly beautiful spot and so glad we chose it. The magnolias are unbelievably large, oleanders so pretty and the food 7th Love, Anna." Equally early vacationers were Dr.

Rumor has it they intend some day to make their By MARGARET MARA Audience reaction to a baby or the screen inevitably results in a wave of "ah-h's" sweeping through the theater, and although it is inaudible, the reaction of magazine readers to a child's photograph is just as involuntary, and Joyful.

Advertisers more and more are using pictures of children in their advertisements because they' command this reaction. "The trend to child models started about three years ago," revealed Walter Thornton, director of the first agency to provide photography models for everything from fashion to food advertising. The avalanche of magazines filled with pictures of children and teen-agers that now crowd the newsstands are a natural development of the popular- picture ads of children, Mr. Thornton believes. Was a Model Himself One time model himself, Mr.

Thornton founded his agency 15 years ago and is the pioneer agent for child models. His office is continuously on the lookout for attractive children. "They neet not be pretty," he said. "Some of our best and most sought after models are freckled-faced kids with missing front teeth." Most children take to photog raphy modeling quite readily. "Children follow direction very well," said Mr.

Thornton. 'We found it necessary from the beginning, nevertheless, to ask the mother to remain in the waiting room while her child is being photographed in the studio." Kids act up, It seems, when Mom is around. The Walter Thornton Agency advertises regularly for child models. 4th Ave. Child Popular Mrs.

Henry Andersen of 8717 4th interviewed at the agency office, took her daugh ter Anita to Mr. Thornton two years age in answer to an ad. Anita, who has platinum blond curls and eyes like forget- me-nots, is now four years old Modeling doesn't spoil a chitd, said Mrs. Andersen. "Jf I saw that beginning to happen I would stop it!" she declared.

Anita, who is seen often in fashion pictures, in catalogues, takes dance lessons, too. Also at the agency office on the day this reporter called was Mrs. Ben Rubinstein of 4810 Surf Seagate. Diana Rubinstein, 5, has been modeling for two years. You will recognize Diana as the little girl in the full color Nucoa advertisements.

Follows Mother's Footsteps "She loves it!" said Diana's mother, who before her marriage was a fashion model. A pupil in the kindergarten of Public School 188, Coney Loyola celebrated the nuptial mass and performed the ceremony. Given In marriage by her father, the bride wore a gown of ivory satin made with a fitted bodice and sunburst train. Her bridal veil, a French heirloom, was point d'appllque lace on point d'esprit with crown of rose-point. She carried a prayer book covered with white orchids and attached were white satin ribbons knotted with stephanotis.

Miss Kathlyn DeLargy of Baltimore, cousin of the bride, was maid of honor. The other bridal attendants were Miss Joan Regan of Brooklyn, sister of the bridegroom and the Missses Alice and Margaret DeLargy of Baltimore, cousins of the bride. The maid of honor was attired In sherbert marquisette, and the bridesmaids wore lilac marquisette. John A. Regan of -Brooklyn was best man for his brother.

The ushers were John Cullen, Lt Gilbert McCotter, James K. McMahon, John J. Nagle brother of the bride, Silas Titus and Andrew Watson. The bride was graduated from Ursuline Academy, and Mary-mount College. Her father is president of Crown Cork Seal Company, Inc.

of the Church of St. Ignatius hibit now on display at the East River Savinca Bank. 41 Rocke feller Plaza, points a straight and none too narrow path toward better menu habits. Sponsored by the New York City Food and Nutrition Committee and the National Vitamin Foundation, this exhibit implies pic-torially what New Yorkers usually, do in the case of a nibble, a njunqh or a meal, and suggests the smart and satisfactory choice for each such food occa sjon. Divided Into six sections, it runs the age gamut from the pre-school tot to early middle age and offers a wise word to each group.

Consider for example the section devoted to the young fry and dubbed "Pint-Size Swlz-rlers." Particularly appropriate for this time of year, these colorful displays show youngsters gayly crowding a quaint food cart to demand a weenie and a cooling drink. By that picture the display nods to the fact that the younger set adores to munch and sip. But Instead of leaving this lunch to the weenie and the cooling drink, the exhibit takes the occasion to suggest the foods for an ideal repast. Milk a Better Choice Needless to say, the cooling drink suggested is milk. The Idea is, of course, that while we must face the fact that kids are keen on sips, we must teach them to select the beverage that pays worthwhile dividends to the growing body.

Milk answers that requirement to a tasty T. However, one needn't choose milk all the time. If the drink gets a bit boring, by all means turn to fruit juices. These two are filled with nutritive gold. Along with the beverage Is suggested an all-around good luncheon menu to renlace the weenie and the roll.

Mind you, ttiprp la no attentat to snub the popular frankfurter. In fact it Is stressed as the special-occasion food fun on a picnic and other such outings. But there Js an attempt to highlight the fact that every-day food should be of sturdy stuff which offers a wider choice of food values. The menu suggested includes hard-cooked eggs in a nest of cool, crisp, raw greens; bran muffins, peanut butter or butter, fresh fruit and milk. And you know when you read that back you realize that such food advice is not confined to pint-size swizzlers.

Many a grown-up is smart to adopt just such a luncheon design. The swizzlers of the sugar-rich drinks, and the persons who shun a complete lunch in favor of a nibble, rob themselves of the energy it takes to be full of git-up-and-go! ocieh By HELEX BROWN Society Editor Mr. and Mrs. George Van Wynen of 561 Bav Ridge Parkway announce the marriage of theirj daughter, Miss Ruth Van wynen, to Frank Glissman, son of Mrs. E.

Glissman of 8518 3d Ave. The wedding took place yesterday In the Chrurch of the Good Shepherd Nvith the Rev. Dr. William F. Sunday officiating.

A reception was held at the Ridge Colony and open house followed at the Van Wynen residence. The bride, who was given In marriage by her father, wore a gown of white satin with a yoke of seed pearls. Her veil, which had been worn by her mother at her wedding, was of rosepoinl lace held by a tiara of pearls. She carried a cascade of orchids and Eucharist lilies. The bride's twin sister, Miss Ethel Van Wynen, was maid of honor and wore a gown of pale blue net and lace and a matching bonnet.

She carried a cascade of pink peonies. The bridesmaids were Mrs. Charles Prlggen and Miss Matilda Volk who wore pink net and lace gowns and carried cascade bouquets of pink peonies and blue delphinium. James Bergen was best man and George E. Van Wynen and Hector Qulntana were ushers.

An uncle and aunt on the father's side came to Mary's rescue Mary Haworth and took her into their home, caring for her as if she were their own. Three months later, Alice returned from the sanitarium and wanted to bring the baby (Mary) home; but her husband objected. He would have liked to give all the children away. He finally consented to reclaim Mary when she was past two years; but the child wasn't happy at being transplanted, and cried a lot. It nearly broke the aunt's heart to give her up; and thereafter Mary's time was divided between the two homes.

Alice resented Mary's divided allegiance and never seemed to care as much for her as the others. When Mary was 4, a baby sister was born, whom Alice spoiled wanting this child to feel closer to her than Mary had. When Mary was 10, she developed St. Vitus dance. As her condition made Alice very nervous, she was taken to the aunt's home and nursed back to health, with the aunt paying all the doctor bills.

Kin on Defensive During this period Alice divorced her husband and when Mary was fully recovered she returned to her mother but con- 1 If 1 t' lt LOOK AT THAT LAUGH! a pet of photographers.

A career In the movies Is the goal some mothers set for their children, Mr. Thornton said, and one of his. former child models is Peggy Ann Garner, now a Hollywood star.

The success of Peggy Ann Garner, however, is one of those strange contradictions. A rule of the Walter Thorn ton Model Agency requires ap plicants to send in photographs or snapshots first. If the photos show that the child is photo genic, then Mr. Thornton invites the mother to bring the child to the office for an interview. "Peggy Ann's mother wrote from Cleveland," Mr.

Thornton explained, "but we thought that the pictures she inclosed were not hopeful. We were not at all encouraging and advised her not to come to New York." Two Years to Movies But despite all this, Peggy Ann Garner and her mother arrived one day at the Thornton office. The child was tested and some Indefinable and charming characteristic showed through the photograph. Her success was almost immediate. After two years of photo model ing, she was signed for the movies.

Payment for modeling starts at $7.50 per hour and goes up to $10 per hour, depending on the popularity of the model with advertisers. Jackie Miles, who started at the age of two with Mr. Thorn ton, now is 11 years old and is a $10-an-hour model. He averages about $60 per week. "We like to start with young children and train them for our adult model group," Mr.

Thorn ton said.

The first in a series of canning demonstrations to be conducted during the Summer months by the Brooklyn Red Cross Chapter will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2 p.m.

This made Alice very angry. The three older girls were married and Alice had grown closer to Mary.

However, Mary and the spoiled youngest sister couldn't get along and Mary knew she would have a much better home with the aunt, who was always very kind to her and promised to send her to college. So she clung to her decision but tried to be friends with Alice until she returned a gift Mary sent her the following Christmas. After that, Mary made no overtures. When Mary graduated a short time ago, a group of us my brothers, sisters, mother and I attended the exercises, taking gifts to Mary, of whom we are very fond, as she is a very good girl with a sweet disposition and winning ways. Also, we are graduates of the school and we like to go back occasionally.

Now Alice is furious with us for going which I deplore for Mother's sake, as mother is past 70, with a heart ailment, and very upset by Alice's attitude. When Mother called Alice re cently, she would hardly speak to her. Did we do wrong by attending the exercises? Or is Alice wrong? Do you blame Mary for staying with her aunt in the circumstances? Is there anything I can do to straighten out matters between Mother and Alice? C. L. Acting Like a Crackpot DEAR C.

L. Alice's attitude doesn't make sense. But I doubt whether anyone can convince her of that "There are none so blind as those who will not Alice has been wounded by circumstances, yes. But Mary did not set these circumstances in motion. Rather, they originated in Alice's personal his tory; and in ways which Alice Mother Boycott Lake, N.

was married Saturday morning in the Church of St. Vincent Ferrer, Manhattan, to James Sylvester Regan 1 1 Sliltf 4 4 mm 1 refuses to recognize, Mary was by far the most wretched victim of these circumstances until she broke with Alice in self-defense at the age of 16. Alice holds Mary to blame for giving priority allegiance to the aunt. Yet this predilection was not of Mary's contriving. The father's selfishness and the mother's frailties (of health and character) set it in motion by leaving Mary with the aunt un til she was two.

Thereafter the aunt assiduously nurtured the bond, even though obliged to surrender the child. Alice next missed the boat in making quarrel with Mary's inarticulate woe at being forcibly returned to the strange environment of home when just past two. Mary's nervous illness at the age 6f 10 Inadvertently pro claimed a sensitive nature harried to the breaking point by turmoil and anxiety. Lost Love by Default This indicates that Alice had failed her completely, probably by keeping her on the rack with attitudes hinting of rejection (as your story suggests) Alice's way of registering resentment of the child inability to love her wholeheartedly. In the child's desperate illness, Alice was glad to return her to the aunt and that was repection indeed (though a blessing to Mary).

A true mother's love rises inexhaustibly to meet a child's need. Alice lost Mary by default then. The aunt won, by carrying her off to an atmosphere of sure love and tranquillity, which were the major factors in restoring her health. Alice's more recent spite campaign against Mary is an offense against decency; and you would-be cowards all to submit to her crackpot efforts to organize a clan boycott of the girl and her aunt. Mary is a lovely girl, you say; so ba forthright in showing fondness for her, and take no nonsene from Alice about it.
