Ask your veterinarian about the control of fleas, lice, and ticks with ECTORAL Now BY QUENTIN REYNOLDS As a onetime permanent and always 1 jL semipermanent inhabitant of Suburbia.

I have been not only an observer of, but a participant in, the tribal customs of Westchester, suburban Chicago, suburban Los Angeles and suburban Washington, and during the past three years 1 have noticed a change in suburban habits. Know what they do now? They sit around the dinner table and talk, talk, talk. Conversation at the American table being in what might be called its infancy, it might help the Lady of the House to learn the ground rules, for traditionally it is she who must start the conversational ball rolling. It is not a responsibility to be taken lightly, and often one must ignore obvious temptations. Suppose your husband is in the ball-bearing business and he invites his boss to dinner.

Naturally, you'll ask a few of your most presentable neighbors to join you. You don't have to worry while the main part of the dinner is being you know your guests will be discussing your fine food. Food can be an interesting topic, but it usually exhausts itself by dessert, and then on your own, girl. The obvious gambit would be to get the Boss to open up on the subject of ball bearings, but the chances are that he will be as bored talking about them as your guests will be hearing about them. After all, when seen one ball bearing, seen them all.

You must remember that in addition to his business, every man has some outside interest or hobby much rather talk about. Your husband can do some research to find out what the Boss does when he leaves the office. He might, for instance, be a chess fiend, and you might knock him on his ball bearings should you ask innocently, you think Bobby explosive temperament will prevent him from defeating Russians like Botvinnik in future world championship (You have to know any more about chess than that. a question all chess fans are discussing.) You have another responsibility. That is to sec that your husband occasionally has a chance to get to bat.

But keep him in reserve the way Ralph Houk of the Yankees keeps Luis Arroyo in the bull pen (your husband will explain who these people are). If you don't mind a bit of name dropping, let me tell how Mrs. Winston Churchill passes the ball to her husband after dinner. Once during the war I was asked to Chequers (traditional home of Prime Ministers) for dinner. Harry Hopkins, Robert E.

Sherwood, the writer, Averell Harriman, and two British generals were the other guests. It was early in 1942, and things been going well for our side. Winston Churchill was not in a very happy mood. He glowered at and grumbled about the food until his lovely wife said gently, Winston, a war It seems almost sacrilegious to say, but dinner with Winston Churchill was a rather dull event. That is, until the hostess thought of something to take her mind off the sinking of Atlantic convoys and bad news from the Libyan Desert.

she finally said, forgot to tell you that they sent one of your favorite films to show tonight. It is the Marx at the REAT Churchill beamed. you seen it, When Harry Hopkins shook his head, Churchill went on, seen it five times and always find something new in it to laugh at. I often agree with George Bernard Shaw, but I agree with him on acting. Someone once asked him who he thought the four best actors were and he answered, Marx Now, primed by his wife (although he conscious of it), he discussed films that he liked and some he like with hearty gusto.

He drew Sherwood out on Hollywood personalities, and the conversation became an animated free-for-all with everyone having a good time. Somewhere out in the darkness a hideous war was being fought, but for an hour we all forgot 16 Suburbia Today, August 1962.
