LIFE OF THE rABTY Dear Mlaa Blair: There as aa aaabltiaa I have and sine I was aid eaeufh to mingle with crowd aad that Is to be the life of th party. Other fellew g to parties aad dent sees to have any tree Me abeejt getting the glrle to fleck areaad these. And wherevar they fleck yea eaa hear seals at laashter. Bat the mines soma of the rest of a try to erewd area ta see what the faa k all akeat we Hi socks msy fall down at any moment mo-ment But if you are afraid of being laughed at don't try this technique. Our third ticklish spot I our rib of release. We may be relieved of th constrsint of convention, or It may come from releasing our personal per-sonal grudges. The first esse Is Illustrated Illus-trated by the aex Joke. Sex Jokes do not necessarily have to be tunny to produce laughter. And people who I detest them need only show embsr-Irassment embsr-Irassment In order to turn the teller thing. I think a f the saala reaeeaa why I as Sail at a party I becaaae I deal kaew how to tell a Joke to sake It fanny. Are there any keeks a Seat the art ef telling takes? If ae, plea five me ta aaase ef them. AU give me any advice yea think I may need to kelp me be a gay yeang deg. "HANSEL." Self -consciousness is th free test enemy of naturalness, and unless one can unbend and be natural on can never hope to be the "111 of th party." However, ther ia nothing like preparation to give on self-confidence self-confidence and many books have been written on the subject "Cultivating "Culti-vating Personality," by William S. Walsh, la on of the best of these books. It may be had at the public library. Thar is also a technique of humor hu-mor that most natural humorists do uum wisir airecuon. im in uii ridiculing something you dislike Is snother form of touching our ticklish spot of release. You must be very serious when you tell the surprise Joke, also when you tell the eympsthetic Joke, but In the release Joke the teller must slio lsugh in order to ally himself with hi audience in ridiculing something they both dislike. Don't be guilty of that worst of offense of telling stale Jokes. How w sll resent the stl witticism that forces us into the hypocrisy of polite leughter over the Joke we have heard for th thoussndth time. Th library has many books on humor hu-mor and bumorlsta Tak your choice, guided by the friendly office of library "Information." ART rKOBLEM Dear Mlaa Blalrt A friend gave me eeeae art erayena t as a art elelh aad I have my dealga all drawn. 1 cant remember his sister. U only w can mak him se thst his actions ar a deep reflection reflec-tion on him as a gentleman and a brother, perhaps he will mend his ways. . . . The best way would be for his sweetheart and her sisters to begin champion your cause. They should say to him, "You have forgotten to dance with your sister," and then not danc with him again -until h hsd danced with you. Others should by gentle hints end noi nave iu icarn, out wiiw "ji w humor can readily be catalogued. Ther ar Just three places where any of us may be tickled. A Joke may touch our rib of surprise, our rib of sympathy or our rib of release. When sudden shock produce laughter laugh-ter In us our surprise rib is touched. Tsking figure of speech at It fac valu ia one way of playing up the surprise Joke. "You wouldn't put a dog out Into a night like this, half sobbed the valet. "Oh, wouldn't IT" said the great man and, seizing a dog. he thrust it nut into the storm. This is a typically American form of humor and Is like some Inspired madness to those whose funny bone lies in this renlm. Secondly, Joke may touch our rib of sympathy. And this is perhaps our most ticklish rib, because it I th most readily appreciated by very-body. very-body. The humorist her character-' character-' lies himself as the constant embarrassed embar-rassed victim of head waiters, theater the-ater ushers and traffic policemen.

If you hav used th regular art crayon mad for th purpose of designing de-signing on art cloth, you turn the cloth on which the deaign la made faca down on wrapping paper, lay cloth wrung from water over the back of the art cloth and press with a very, hot iron. This sets the color as you move the Iron slowly over th dampened damp-ened cloth. Th material can then be washed without fesr of the crayon coloring being washed away..

There must be some way to make big brother realize his dutv toward Innuendo suggest that a boy can always al-ways be Judged by hi treatment of his mother and his litter, snd that he can't be very sincere in nla treatment of his sweetheart and her sisters unless un-less he Is also nice to his own family. Some boys ar very clow about waking up to what la expected of them. Your mother should tell him at horn that people are mentioning th fact that he doesnt danc with you, and that this la coming to be real serious reflection cn his disposition dispo-sition and character. He must dsnce with you Joyously to let everybody kqow how much he really thinks of you, both aa sister and a dancer, and you In return must tell him what a good dancer he la and how much you appreciate his dancing with you. You must learn to behav toward each other as politely as you would toward your friends and forget your animosities.
