M2 21 BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, NEW YORK, FRIDAY, JANUARY 8, 1937 MARJORl HILLIS Author of 'Live Alone and Like It' Society Jest Among Ourselves By JACK CLUETT Long Island Society Miss Alison Grace Married To J. Frederic Byers Jr. at Ceremony in Old Westbury The wedding of Miss Alison Grace, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Russell Grace of Manhattan and Crossroads.

Old Westbury, and J. Frederic Byers son of J. Frederic Byers of Goodwood. Sewickley, and the late Mrs. Byers, took place yesterday afternoon at the Grace's Old Westbury residence.

The Maiden Aunt Mrs. William A. Phillips Passing of the EAR MISS HILLIS You say more extra women than there used to be that they are Just more conspicuous, because they have their own establishments instead of living with some married relation. Don't you think that this is a more selfish and less safe way than the old-fashioned way of living, which gave protection and com- Dinner Parties to Be Given Preceding Second Symphony Concert at Academy Tonight There will be many dinner parties this evening prior to the second of the season's Boston Symphony Orchestra concerts at the Academy of Music. Richard Burgln will conduct and Albert Spalding, vlolionlst, will be the soloist.

Miss Marion Ingersoll, daughter of Borough President and Mrs. Raymond V. Ingersoll of 380 Clinton Ave. will entertain at a buffet supper at her parents' home for a group of girls from Packer Collegiate Institute who later will attend the concert. The guests will be the 1 'cf" panionshlp?" M.

Dear L. I expect one does grow more selfish if one lives alone than If one doesn't. And I wouldn't for a minute minimize the importance of unselfishness. But if you're an extra woman and vou line up all the advantages of an establishment of your own against those that go with being a hanger-on in someone else's house, even the vir tues of unselfishness dim Just a trifle. It is practically impossible to be a real personality whn you're an extra in somebody else's house.

Almost inevitably, you turn Into a maiden aunt. We've all known lots of them sweet, self-effacing women who sink into the background like a piece of furniture. Haven't you been to luncheons or weekends where one of them was present-slightly mouse-like and scarcely ever expressing an opinion? Sometimes you are very much attracted to her, Miss Ruth Bernadette Cavanagh, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C.

Stewart Cavanagh of 1123 Albemarle Road and Bay L. LeBlanc Jr. of Manhattan. BARCLAY on BRIDGE Figuring Out Your Entry Cards that perhaps there are not actually but usually you forget her as soon as you leave the house. But what else can a maiden aunt be? She can't very well express opinions about another person's house in which she is living perhaps on sufferance.

Or about another person's parties or servants or the way she brings up the children. And when any one suppresses too many ideas for too long a time, one is pretty apt to stop having any Ideas to suppress. Most modern women have ideas and are entitled to a place In which they can air them as fully as their married sisters. Nor is rtiere any good reason why they should have to take all the other soul-shrinking things that did so much in developing the maiden aunt complex. They don't take them, nowadays they move into their own apartments.

And they find that there are hundreds of things to do that are considerably more Important than darning their niece's and nephew's stockings and socks. A few of the extra women that I know may have grown a little set In their ways although mot of them are surprisingly free of this quality but their foibles are insignificant compared to the average bachelor's, who fusses about his food without even the mildest criticism! Perhaps the extra woman Isn't as meek or as self-sacrificing as she used to be. Why should she be? As for protection she is fully able to take care of herself.

Brooklyn I UNDERTAKER Juliana's Wedding (In a manner destined to meet with the approval of Adolf Hitler.) rpHE HAGUE, Jan.

8 Tomor- row at noon Crown Princess Juliana will be remarried to Prince Bemhard zu Llppe-Biesterfeld in a ceremony guaranteed to please Adolf Hitler. The German Chancellor didn't like the first wedding because a Dutchman sucked a lemon in front of the band while it played "DeuUschland Uber Alles" and the "Horst Wessel." The Princess will wear for the ceremony a simply-cut gown or brown kaki, out of respect for Hitler's Storm Troops, shot with German silver trimmings and a tulle veil with bits of marzipan and weinerschnitzel. So as not to offend the Nazi regime, she will carry a bouquet of swastikas. The Dutch flag may be flown but only down cellar. Prince Bemhard is doing his level best to raise a Charlie Chaplin mustache for the occasion.

Hitler has decided that it will be all right for the band to play the "Lippe-Detmold" song of the principality over which the groom's family once ruled provided the instruments are stuffed with sponges. Of Bernhardt 12 gentlemen in attendance at the first, anti-Nazi wedding, six were Germans, one French and five Dutch. This time he will have 12 Germans, no French and no Dutch; and, what's more, every one will walk to the altar in goose step and like it. Anybody caught wearing a Dutch bob or giving "a Dutch treat at the revised wedding will be subject to a blood purge. If any whistles are to be blown during the ceremony they must be from the Hamburg-American Line, not the Holland-American Line.

All the bridal accessories will be turned out by the Krupp Iron Works. The royal couple will be expected to answer all responses in the wedding ceremony by raising the right arm and shouting "Heil Hitler!" Any refreshments which have been cooked in a Dutch oven will be confiscated. Holland rusk is taboo. Hors d'oeuvres will consist of frankfurters, sauerkraut, beer and pretzels. The reception will take place in the palace which will be transformed into a German beer garden for the event.

Queen Wilhelmina will be dressed in the uniform of a Nazi Storm Trooper. There will be a line of German police dogs, Instead of garlands of tulips and orange blossoms, to keep the curious crowd back during the wedding procession. The happy couple will spend their honeymoon every last cent of it in Germany, being Rllowed but 10 marks ($4) each for the return trip to Holland. Junior Auxiliary of N. S.

When a lead is tn that hand, they will misuse the opportunity by leading a suit which does not require that the lead come from any particular direction, whereas another suit begs tor such a lead. They also fall down on the proposition of playing a fairly high card from the stronger hand, so as I to leave a smaller card which can be later to lcad to tt sommhat higher card in the weaker hand.
