JUST BETWEEN US Tell the Folks That 'Baby' Is A Great Big Girl Now

By NANCY MOTTRAM DEAR NANCY: I've just begun dating, but I'm having an odd kind of parent trouble. When my date calls for me, my parents will wait till I get downstairs and then quiz us as to where we're going, make a few suggestions, tell us to be careful crossing streets, discuss whether it's cool enough for me to wear a coat, and hold us up about 15 minutes while they run through all the last minute things they can think of. So far, they have not called me their baby, though I'm expecting that any day now. It embarrasses both my date and me. But what can I do? Since you're just starting to date evenings, your parents are trying to get used to the idea that you're old enough to go out. So, naturally, they're interested and concerned about this newest development in the life of their child. But a few of those things are unnecessarily brought up in front of the boy you're trying to impress. Have a talk with them some evening and ask them if they'll discuss whether you'll be warm enough or anything on that order with you before he arrives. If they want to know where you're going, perhaps they could drop a casual, "What are the plans for tonight?" instead of using the third degree. It will make you a lot happier, you could add, if they understand that you're not embarking on a perilous voyage, but will be just as cautious of traffic lights as you've ever been. DEAR NANCY: Last spring I took a certain girl out once in a while, but it was by no means a steady romance or even anything to call for long and frequent letters during my absence this summer. Now, however, I hear that this gal is going out very often with someone else. I'm always had a lot of fun together, and so, I'd like to pick up where I left off. But I didn't expect her to forget me so easily. What should I do? You gave her no reason to think that she meant any more to you than a casual date. She didn't hear a word from you all summer and she certainly didn't have any reason to sit home and wait for you. It's only natural that she should begin going out with someone else. If you still would like to see her again you might call or see her and ask her out. From that point on, you can continue as you were or if you're serious, ask her to go steady. She doesn't seem like the kind of gal who'll sit around waiting and wishing. If she means enough, you'll have to make an effort to keep her. DEAR NANCY: A boy I'm quite fond of lives out of town, and comes in every so often. He doesn't ever let me know, and yet expects me to break any date I have to go out with him. So far, I've done it. But now, seeing the way he would look at it, I'm being taken for granted. How do I reverse my procedure and yet keep him on the string? Next time he arrives, tell him you've got an important engagement and you can't make it. But suggest that he let you know the next time he plans to come. If he still doesn't, try the same thing again. He won't think you're trying to avoid him if you ask him to warn you in advance, but he'll get the hint after a while that he ought to use some common consideration.

Fashion Theatre Stages Premier At University

Coral Gables clubs that can persuade sponsors of The Fashion Theater to stage full-scale repeat performances of "A Day on The Campus" will provide audiences with an exciting new type of entertainment — and its treasury with a sure-fire money maker. That was the enthusiastic reaction of "first-nighters" at the unique fashions-with-continuity presentation which had its world premier recently at the Ring Theater. Fred Koch and his University Playmakers have done it again — this time with a handsome assist from Script-writer Robert Eades, his lovely models, and fashion originals from Minna Lee, Roal accessories and the University Shop for Men. The "Ohs!" and "Ahs!" with which theater-goers Mrs. Charles Hartsick, Mrs. Jesse Woodward, Mrs. Lee Gebhart and Mrs. H. G. Robinson greeted smart new ensembles for men and women alike were gauge of enthusiasm for the event. "That's for me!" announced Florida's first lady of golf when she saw Minna Lee's luxurious black velvet cocktail suit, accented with touches of white at neck and wrists and topped by a cocktail hat of shiny ostrich curls. It was a shocking-red flannel skirt with wide jeweled belt and long-sleeved tailored cotton shirt that caught Mrs. Woodward's fancy — so did the shoulder-sling, red mail pouch purse which completed the outfit. An inveterate sun-seeker, Mrs. Gebhart sat up and took notice at a pair of shorty-shorts in green, yellow, black and red Scotch plaid wool, combined with casual white jersey topper. Mrs. Robinson found her favorite in a sophisticated off-the-shoulder, figured-molded faille evening gown accented with sparkling necklace and bracelet. Merging of theater tecnique with fashion display in "A Day on the Campus" provided relief from the traditional artificial strutting of mannequins — and a he-man setting for exhibition of wardrobes for men. Top-flight among casual men's clothing shown by the University Shop were identically tailored wine-colored jackets, one done in light weight wool and the other in corduroy; brown hounds-tooth check slacks combined with beige camel's hair jacket, and sturdy half-track oxfords in new tones of brown.

Mrs. S. E. Philpitt Returns from North

Mrs. S. Ernest Philpitt has returned to her Coral Gables home after spending some four months in the North, including a stay at Mt. Gretna, Pa., where she had a summer cottage.

Thomas, who occupied her home while she was in the North, have moved to their recently purchased home in the Gables.

‘Operation Citrus’ Swells Building Fund of University Kappas

The government has its "Operation Ctrrus"—and Kappa Kappa Gamma its "Operation Citrus." The one signifies changing a howling hurricane into a rain shower, and the other means transforming of a dream into the solid masonry of a sorority house on the University of Miami campus. Beginning Nov. 15th, crates of golden grapefruit and early oranges will be plucked in a Florida grove and sped via fast freight to northern customers who prefer tree-ripened citrus to artificially matured fruit available at the corner market. "Several weeks ago KKG actives, alums and their friends submitted lists of winter-bound relatives and acquaintances who might prefer to order sunshine fruit through the sorority and direct from the grove," explained Mrs. Elizabeth Ballard Dupuis, director of the venture. "Orders have begun to arrive and indications are that the Christmas season response will be gratifyingly heavy." Miami alumnae of Kappa will share the profits derived from sale of specially-priced luxury baskets ordered through "Gold Key House" and will devote a major portion of the earnings to a fund for construction of a University chapter house. Mrs. DuPuis, who is being assisted by Mrs. Thomas C. Mayes, reported that one list of prospective customers had come from Dolores Staggers, Gables girl now stationed in Korea with the Red Cross. "I'll admit we were relieved that Dolores listed no Koreans as potential buyers—but only a host of her friends in Maryland and Washington, D.C.!" Mrs. DuPuis said. Gableites whose northern friends might be interested in shipments of moderately priced baskets of oranges and grapefruit direct from the grove were invited to contact Mrs. Mayes or Mrs. DuPuis for information on prices and varieties of fruits available.
