Why bother him about acquiring gifts when his own lie unused and forgotten?

Under come the essentials of good health punctuality willingness to carry out orders and Intelligence Your first Interview will give him many clues as to what to expect of you in these Important particulars Therefore see that you look and are be on time to the dot give direct and simple answers to his questions and don't talk too much Give him a chance to direct the conversation and ask the questions he wants answered Make your replies brief and to the point Under the desideratum of Pleasant come all the wrappings on the package which is you Would you be a nice person to have around? he is asking as he considers your appearance your demeanor your probable ability to get along with other people He is going to give you a rating In this first interview on your clothes and grooming or your quiet unassuming manner on your probable degree of co-operation with fellow employees and cm whether they or the public are going to like you He wants his to be a smoothly running machine and for that reason he is going to choose cogs that he thinks will mesh all right with the other gears in the organisation So be very careful about your appearance Emilie and look like a young business woman when he sees you for the first time Simple workaday clothes and exquisite freshness have landed many a Job Leave off very high heels crazy hats bracelets and doodads Men don't like long red fingernails or too much lip rouge either Go easy on these Some time ago a big New York store advertised for "Six Pleasant With all the women there are In New York and with a thousand or so of them in that store as employees already you would think that they would not have to advertise Not Just for six But evidently "Pleasant were not under every bush and the management considered them indispensable So they advertised not for beauty brains or any other kind of feminine capital but only for "Six Pleasant You might paste that in your hat DEAR MISS BLY: We read your letter signed "A about the dating problem We are hot in a position to give a party but we go to parties frequently and are then very popular with the boys However they never ask us for dates afterwards Is there any way that we can get boys to date us? Please print this because we believe many girls have this same problem DATELESS GIRLS DEAR TWO: Maybe they are shy in which event you will have to practise up on your come-hither technique A little encouragement is a wonderful thing Perhaps you have not indicated delicately that you like them and would be glad to see them again or that you consider them rather interesting And you might try asking their advice about something that would furnish an excuse for a call about what to do for your puppy or how to fix your camera or roller skates or play a ukelele You must be careful however not to overdo and give them the Impression that you are chasing them or angling for dates That is bad medicine Just be friendly and cordial and above all interested in what the boy does says thinks and likes Your statement that you "are not in a position to give a calls I think for a little discussion It is a point which many correspondents make in replying to my frequent suggestions that girls who want to know how to get dates entertain a bit Big parties are undoubtedly expensive and out of the question for the average girl But when I recommend a party I am not thinking of such affairs as only a few rich girls can afford 'A "party' does not necessarily mean champagne punch and decorations by a florist and supper from the Nor need it even mean a new dress new living room curtains or purse-stretching refreshments The best parties in the world and the ones where everybody has the most fun and remembers the longest are more often than not the informal hastily scratched together kind where you cook hot dogs and marshmallows out of doors over a fire after a swim or dance in the living room to the radio and make candy or coffee qnd Sandwiches The most popular parties I ever saw were a series of dances given on their big porch by a couple of girls who never serve anything but a huge bowl of homemade lemonade and home made cake only one to go with it They hung Japanese lanterns and turned cm the radio that was all there was to it But their invitations were at a premium and their porch was full of boys all summer Father ought to be willing to co-operate by taking himself out of the way once in a while and mother owes it to her daughter to see that she lias opportunity to invite young friends to the house occasionally in a way that involves a minimum of trouble and expense Or if a big family and a tiny amount of room make this particularly difficult even once in a while then picnics and outdoor suppers are always good Tell everybody to bring something if you can't manage

By Edith Lindeman "They Drive By the George Raft-Ann Sheridan picture which opened at the Colonial yesterday falls neatly into two parts Part one is an action-jammed earthy account of a slice of life among the commercial truck drivers Spiced with gasp-provoking dialogue it rolls along at high speed develops a logical love story between Waitress Ann Sheridan and Truck-driver Raft shoots off into comic or tragic by-paths to spotlight episodes from the lives of other drivers Part two Is a tabloid version of a Paul Muni picture made in 1935 The title then was Bette Davis was his leading lady her role called for her to fall so hard for Muni that she drove her dead-drunk husband through their electrically operated garage doors left him to die of carbon monoxide After that she slowly disintegrated into dementia prae-cox and went screaming mad at the murder trial Ida Lupino Shows Skill In the present opus it is Ida Lupino who assumes the role previously played by Bette Davis She takes over with such skill that although there is a Davlsian note in her throaty voice on occasion there is no doubt that the erstwhile baby-blonde Ingenue is headed for meatier roles and more emphatic assignments Alan Hale playing the new-rich good-hearted husband dominates his scenes and would probably have stolen the picture if he had been any more in evidence Except for the fact that the latter episodes bring out the latent melodramatic ability of Miss Lupino the picture carries a good deal more punch in its earlier footage As memorable as the accident which sends a truck crashing in flames are some of the lines which are equally explosive Humphrey Bogart Roscoe Karns John Li tel George Tobias and Gale Page are but a few of the able supporting players until fluffy Squeeze
