Christina Rossettl. t: Have YOU a bachelorette in your famiiy? Has she any spec ial system of definitely de termining whether a man she meets is married or single? In some European countries mar ried men are distinguished from bachelors by hyphenated' names: They use their own surname and their wife's maiden name As for example, by this system the name of Harry James would be Harry James-Grable.

And more than ever, fashion has created a host of exciting wearables to flatter her leisure times. Separates that pair off in gay excitement start with pants either below-the-knee-length cor duroy, felt or velvet pedal push ers - or in luxury fabric slim, tapered-to-the-ankle pants. - To top these off smartly are many sweater, jersey and fabric blouse varieties from the easy going relaxed tops with the Ital ian look or the trim, beruffled shirts that are borrowed from the Spanish, or the many varia tions for good-looking comfort that are "strictly American." To this add a waist encircl ing cummerbaund and lo she has a leisure look in luxury! Pajama ensembles either in rich elegancies of satin, velvet and silks or casual-mood cot ton or corduroy pajamas come in two piece or three piece harmony to sometimes double for sleep ing as well as relaxing. Brunch coats or jackets to slip into for dress-up times, are eas ily ensembled for leisure time wear. ' , - A NichoVs Worth of . . . : i i v ' j - Comment On This and That By HARMAN W.

" ' - Knew What Was Wanted Having played for many Eisen hower birthdays and anniver saries, the old fiddler knew what he was doing. ' ; v ; He started the band off with "The Old Spinning Wheel." That's Mamie's favorite. The band and the- assembled crowd went through that with some of the finest un-harmonic braying in any hall anytime the Presi dent and his lady adding to the din, and clapping thereafter. Then Barnee's band cut loose with President Eisenhower's fa vorite, ."I've Got Spurs That Jingle, jangle, Jingle." Well, the Eisenhowers thought it . was swell. And they wrote Barnee little notes " to ; say thanks. The Notes ' First to arrive was from the President: ' "Mrs. Eisenhower and I join in warm thanks to you and the members of your orchestra for your contribution to the Citizens for Eisenhower rally , . . you played so many of my 'favorite' songs that the evening was a truly happy one for both of us." That was signed "Dwi'ght Eis enhower." ,. Mrs. Ike wrote a separate let ter. She said: "What a pleasant surprise to see you in person at the dinner a few evenings ago! As usual we enjoyed your music immensely our thanks and appreciation to you for making the evening such a warm, jolly one. My kind regards to you and your wife," in which the President joins me.'' .This was signed simply: "Mamie Eisenhower." I offered to buy the letters from Barnee, just to see what he'd say. He laughed and told me I couldn't afford it. ' : Whoever knew a reporter with a million bucks? Thursday.
