Mr. and Mrs. Don Williams and their twin daughters, Ruth and Esther of Kansas City, visited Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Sullivan, 118 hour of the morning and that it will cause gossip. Also, that it is very annoying to those who are asleep in a small house. Which one is right — the girl or her mother? ANNA ANSWER: The mother, absolutely. It is the height of impropriety for a girl to entertain men visitors at that hour of the morning, and after the neighbors get through saying what they think about it she won't have a shred of character left. She Has No Excuse Also, it is the most unmitigated selfishness for her to be willing to break up the rest of a family with her dates. Nor are her reasons for keeping this all-night vigil an excuse for such conduct, for if she is so pined for conversation with the youth she might have stayed at home and indulged in a talkfest. Furthermore, it is a safe bet that the young man would not regard her failure to drag him in for N. Citron. They also attended the Shrine convention in Los Angeles.

WHITE Gazette Home Economist “What helps Anaheim helps you,” I read in an editorial in the Anaheim Gazette. Now, I am a busy homemaker who can use all the help I can get, so I read on — “Shop in Anaheim,” the paper says, “Free parking lots, no traffic hazards, wide choice of merchandise, storekeepers anxious to please, adjustments easily made and quick service on the merchandise you buy.” Sounds good to me. I like to get to know the people I do business with. I have made some fine friends that way, and believe me, it is wonderful to have friends in the stores around town who have my interests at heart. Like most housewives, all I know is what I read in the paper. On Sunday, I read a Los Angeles paper and every so often I am carried away by its wonderful advertisements. Take the time Orbach’s opened. Orbach’s is that huge new womens’ wear store that recently opened in Los Angeles with a great deal of fanfare. The prices of the dresses they advertised were sensational. My mother telephoned to urge me to go have a look. So I left the children with a sitter and away we went. It happened to be a warm day and I know of no place that can get as hot as Los Angeles, especially... Old Timers Picnic Set for Irvine Park Final preparations were underway this week for the annual Old Timers picnic at Irvine park next Sunday, one of the big events in the county's outdoor calendar every June. Coroner Earl R. Abbey, president of the Old Timers association, will preside over festivities which are expected to attract upward of 5000 people, as it did last year. Former residents of the county come from all sections of California and beyond the state orders for the Old Timers picnic. Shoshone Falls, in Idaho, are 100 feet in height. The cost of the baby sitter, gasoline, wear and tear on the car, an expensive lunch (plus jangled nerves) came to quite a bit. The pay off came when mother decided she did not like her dress as well as she thought and had to make another trip to straighten out the refund that was coming to her when she returned it! Never again! Next time we found exactly what we wanted at Susan's right here in Anaheim at 166 W. Cen- (Continued on Page 8) Orbach's is that huge new women's wear store that recently opened in Los Angeles with a great deal of fanfare. The prices of the dresses they advertised were sensational. My mother telephoned to urge me to go have a look. So I left the children with a sitter and away we went. It happened to be a warm day and I know of no place that can get as hot as Los Angeles, especially when we are all dressed up in the hat, gloves and girdle that Los Angeles shopping seems to require. We drove to the city, arriving just in time for lunch, and after eating lunch made a bee line for Orbach's. Well, I guess a lot of other people had read the same ad because the place was jammed. After a good deal of searching both for the dresses and some one to wait on us, we found the dresses to be just as described in the advertisement and they were a bargain — or so mother and I thought until we got home, foot-sore and weary from our day in the city, to add up the actual cost of our purchase. The cost of the baby sitter, gasoline, wear and tear on the car, an expensive lunch (plus jangled nerves) came to quite a bit.
