By ELIZABETH LIPS "It's grand to be tall." says Marion Chernoff, president and founder of the Brooklyn Hites, an organization dedicated to the "emancipation of tall folks." are a group whose independent actions toward life, love and the pursuit of happiness are hampered the anomalous fact that we are precursors of a physical breed, taller and fully debetter. I veloped than our fellows. There's only one trouble, there are not enough of us to go around and for the time being our assets become a liability That's Marion, the editor of the organization's Hi Times speaking. She was comparing the tall person's struggle with that of the early colonists. In a sense, she figures, tall folks were on pretty much the same spot as the colonists, who got a bit of a booting around at the hands of old George 111.

Taxation without representation, she concedes, may be quite a bit more serious than getting scornful looks from the pretty little things on the dance floor. But taking a page from the early Americans' book, the attractive brunette related, "we decided to do something about it." Numbers Increase Marion's pioneering spirit reIsulted in the formation of the Comment Four Holiday Contemporary Parties Are Held By RUTH G. DAVIS Society Editor Holiday parties are definitely the order of the day. A traditional Knickerbocker Field Club holiday dance will take place on Saturday as a welcome to the happiest of all seasons. The guests will each bring a gift for Santa's grab bag, the men bringing one for the ladies and the women bringing one for the men.

and they will all dance to the tunes of George Detlef and his orchestra. And, in the usual fashion, the club will close the holiday season with its New Year's activities. At the New Year's Eve party on Dec. 31 there will be more dancing to the tunes of the Detlef aggregation, a buffet supper plus favors. And, of course, the New Year's Day Open House is another traditional event worth looking forward to.

AND SINCE Christmas is a family day, a day for friends, the students and faculty of the Packer Collegiate Institute have invited their parents and friends to begin the season by sharing with them in the carols and the pageant of the Christmas story, The schedule for the P. C. I. is: Monday, 9:30 a.m., elementary school sings carols; Tuesday, 9:30 a.m., Christmas pageant, and 8 p.m., the carol sing; and on Wednesday, Dec. 21, the pageant will be repeated.

THE SECOND CONCERT of the Boston Symphony Orchestra on Friday was a notable occasion for the children of the Brooklyn Home for Children's orchestra.

It is a book for children, containing delightful stories, songs, poems and pictures, the original work of members of the Kindergarten Alumnae Association of Maxwell Teachers College. "The Christmas Music Box" is the title, and the edition is limited. The book is intended for home as as the classroom.

The title taken dis from a charming story by the same name, written and illustrated by Dorothy L. Boyle. All of the material in the little book has been "tried out" in borough kindergarten classes, according to Miss Emily V. Andresen kindergarten division of the Board of Education. The songs include "Santa Comes," "Christmas Joy," "The Toy Drummers," "Music Box," "Dancing Dolls," "Rocking Horse," "Santa's Helpers," "Bounce the Ball." "Jack in the Box" and "Snow Flake Fairies." Real Tale The theme story, "The Christmas Music Box," was inspired by an actual experience in one of our public schools.

It is the story of a little boy who had Dancing Dolls used, which has been prepared in a way that makes it resemble sticks of wood. This must first be soaked in a lye solution until the fish regains its moisture and size. Italian families never serve fish on Christmas Eve, using instead Capitone, a special large eel. These are caught along the Atlantic coast from North Carolina to Canada, and are brought alive to the market in specially constructed barges. These are prepared for frying or marinating.

From Maria Lo Pinto's book, the Art of Italian Cooking, the following recipe for frying is taken. Capitone Fritto pounds thick eels 6 tablespoons olive oil cup flour salt and pepper to taste teaspoon rosemary Have eels skinned and cleaned. Cut crosswise in 3-inch pieces.

tall young men and women speedily rallied to the cause. sending the club membership from its original 25 to more than 600 in half a year's time. Originally, the members met at the home of Miriam Goldner, a secretary, at 184 E. But when Miriam's large basement could no longer accommodate the fast growing membership, the meetings were held in the large playroom of another mann, a pretty teacher, member's -Dorothy Huttof 1724 44th being the host. ess.

One of the nice things about the club, the -eyed president declared, is that there are no dues. The hat is passed around to cover refreshments at the tall folks' get-togethers. There's only one drawback in this arrangement, said Marion, the Hites can't afford to hire a large meeting room. But that didn't stymie the ingenious club president for long. She solved the space problem by inviting 50 members at a time, every two weeks.

Many of the "shorties." who used to kid the tall boys and girls in school, tried to crash the club. "We're polite," says Marion firmly. "But we don't encourage them to come back.

For one thing, the tall boys and girls are out to nip all disparaging remarks about, other tall serious people in activity, the bud. she said, is a relentless campaign to get suitable clothes for ple of their height at reasonable prices. Problems "We tall ones could never get sleeves that were long enough," she explained. else the dresses were too short to flatter us." Many of the stores are now aware of this problem, she admitted, and have established "tall shops." But the accentor she added, is still on sports and office clothes. "We like to wear more formal clothes, too.

If a tall girl wants a cocktail dress that's different and more dramatic, it's more expensive." Marion, however, is not asking too much at one time. So far, she's succeeded in unifying tall folks. Next thing, she'll probably succeed in "getting much who don't qual- more representation" as far as wearing apparel is concerned. Specialty For Many By ELSA STEINBERGER Food Editor Although many of us do.not regard fish as a Christmas specialty, to others it is a feature of holiday meals. These may be unusual fishery items, like eel and octopus, or some special way of preparing a more familiar fish.

Lutefish, carp, red snapper are among some of these, along with salt cod, prepared by those of Spanish descent for Christmas Eve supper. Some sections of the South use oysters as the main dish for Christmas morning breakfast. while shrimp, crab, lobster, sardines, anchovy, salmon and others are generally used in making appetizers to serve before the Christmas dinner. Those of Norwegian, Swedish Danish background use a dish of quivering white jellylike lukefisk covered with melted butter and garnished with lingon berries. For this a dried cod from Norway is usually Serve hot with lemon slices.

Yield: 4 to 6 servings. Scalloped oysters may be served for a supper or breakfast dish. It may be varied by adding Worcestershire sauce, sauterne, a dash of nutmeg, cream or rich milk, but this simple version is a good one to start with. Scalloped Oysters 1 quart oysters 3 cups cracker crumbs cup butter or margarine salt if needed pepper 1 cup rich milk or oyster liquor Examine oysters carefully and remove bits of shell. Drain, reserving liquor.

Mix cracker crumbs. with melted butter or margarine, salt and pepper. Place a layer of oysters at the bottom of a baking dish. Cover with half the crumbs, add another layer of oysters. Pour milk and liquor over oysters; top with remaining crumbs and bake in a moderate oven (350 degrees 30 to 40 minutes, or until crumbs are brown.

Qualman of Bellaire neceived a set of dishes. DEAR MARY HAWORTH -This is about my brother, with whom I've always been very close. He is brilliant, well educated, well beloved. has a charming wife of fine family, and they have four children, the youngest in college. Their marriage has always been envied, but now I am afraid something beautiful is spoiled.

We've always had the same friends, among whom is Cleo, a very attractive woman whose husband is a close friend of Neil's. This is not her first flirtation, but she is being very persistent with Neil and using the two men's friendship as a shield, she acts eyed innocence if any- Mary Haworth wide one tries to expose her hand. At first Neil's wife ignored the whole thing, but later she couldn't help seeing they were always together at parties and that old friends were being slighted as Neil began to narrow their social life down to foursomes with the other couplejust to talk business, he says. May Lose His Wife I've tried to talk to Neil. I said that Cleo is acting like a half-baked girl instead of a matron and mother in her forties.

I told him we've seen her so friendly and cuddly with other men in the past, that the group had been lenient because of her husband, and that he (Neil) should have more pride and dignity. Also I said she lets everyone know their foursome plans, as a way of warding off other plans. He simply says I'm not being fair to Cleo, that she is harmless. I've talked ty Neil's wife, who came to me with tears in her eyes. She too feels that Neil resents any criticism, so she has been charming to Cleo and goes along with the plans, but I don't think she will much longer.

What can be done? B. C. Sister Champion Wife? DEAR B. feels something wrong in this situation, quite apart from your brother's ill-concealed halfway surrender to Cleo's studied campaign of conquest. It is obvious that you feel personally affronted, injured or threatened by the encroaching degree of 'Cleo's success with Neil.

But also it seems apparent that you would have been tolerant of her man-chasing in this instance--as in the past-if only she hadn't got between you and Neil. Cannot Disperse Crisis Weighing the gentle sister-in-law you've had against -the deviously masterful Cleo, you probably begin to "love" and appreciate Mrs. Neil as never before, seeing how sweetly she always gave you undisputed access to your brother's presence and ear, I suppose; and seeing how Cleo has maneuvered you outside his confidence already. I surmise this is your first time to side emotionally with Mrs. Neil on anything.

Now, assuming Mrs. Neil hasn't the fight or finesse to yank the rug from under Cleo, I doubt there is anything you can do to dissolve the crisis. But if I were advising Mrs. Neil I'd certainly say she has full title to drop Cleo like a hot potato and adamantly refuse to co-operate in planned "foursomes" hereafter -which might deal the triangle a body blow that would kill it off in time.
