All the students in these two classes are over 50 years of age and have never painted or done wood carving before October 13, when the classes started. None have had more than the eight lessons given in their hobby since the center opened, but all express en thusiasm in their creative work and the social, friendly atmosphere of the class it self, it is reported. All plan to continue the classwork. Miss Margaret Ossenbrugge, artist, who is the volunteer teacher in oil painting, invites anyone over 50 to join the class, which meets every Tues day afternoon from 1 to 3 pjn. "This exhibit will show horn much talent is latent in many people who have no chance to paint in their early life but who would like to try. No one is ever too old to learn to paint." ' Glenn Van Wickle, veteran from Camp White Hobby shop who taught his class to carve the figures in a nativity scene, states that since wood carving is hard work and takes strong hands he plans to add sculpture in clay in order that more people can participate in his class.

Field of Law Said Good One For Brainy Gal United Press International San Francisco-ffJPB-The city's only woman superior judge says opportunities for brainy gals in the field of law are improving every day. - Judge Theresa Meikle said there were only 11 woman lawyers in the San Francisco Bay area in 1911 when she was graduated from the Uni versity of California. .Today there are 275, and the number is increasing. Men lawyers seem to like their female counterparts, she said. "What progress women law yers have made has been with the help of men attorneys,' she said. "In all my years of practicing and on the bench, men have showed me the greatest deference and chiv alry." The jurist, 62, has held her $18,000-a-year position since first elected in 1942. In for mer years, most women attor neys specialized in domestic relations and divorce cases, she said. Now they are branch ing out into such fields as labor and tax law. "But opportunities for wom en criminal lawyers still are limited," she said "although there was one in Los Angeles who was doing well before she got married. Judge Meikle Is not mar ried herself, but she doesn't rule out marriage for women barristers. "There are at least 15 hus- band-and-wife lawyer teams in San Francisco," she said. "The wife usually does the briefs or research, while the husband does the trial work.' Judge Meikle urged women attorneys "not to dress man- nishly, but always act as a courtly woman" and advised against adopting a ."woman vs. man" attitude in court. Fledgling women lawyers don't always make as much money as men. "But they will when they show they are worth it," he said.

Expert Explains How to Enjoy Your Own Party Westfield, Mass.-(UPD-En joy ing your own party is as much an art as seeing that guests have fun, says Miss Catherine L. O'Brien. As president of a firm which relies on parties for sales (Stanley Home Products, Inc.), she has found these tips helpful: So you won't be upset by unexpected guests or those who failed to R.S.V.P .-allow about 10 per cent leeway in food. Tell in your invitation when you expect guests to ar rive and leave. They can plan on baby sitters, and you can plan ample refreshments. Arrange the party schedule beforehand so you know ex actly what to do, then relax. Don't clean house the day of the party. Frantic last minute cleaning only leaves you tired and grouchy. Don't introduce every new comer after the first few per sons have arrixed. Leave that to the guests. Invite a congenial group, but don't omit someone be cause a few guests don't get along with him. A comedian once said there should be someone at a party that every body hates, just to keep things interesting.

America Debutante Crazy Says Chairman of Dance By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor iew i orKwnf America is becoming debutante crazy, says one woman who helps ster f coming out" parties for teenage socialites. "Deb debuts are now part of the holiday tradition in al most every city of any size," said Beatrice Joyce, executive chairman of the international Debutante ball. She believes the deb business is thriving because the debut remains one strong symbol of gracious living; every father wants his daughter on a social pedestal above the crowd; and every mother wants her daughter meeting the right people. Last Fling of Season "And after all," she said, "when you're 18 it's the time to have fun . . . when you're old, all you have to look back on is memories." Miss Joyce directs a party, set for December 30 this year at the Hotel Astor, which is is one of the last flings of the season for the debs. The fall season begins with Thanksgiving, when the girls come home for the first long college vaction, and reaches its peak during the Christmas and New Year's holidays. Debuts fall in two general types, she said. There are the private debuts in which pop foots the whole bill, and the mass debut in which as many as 50 or 75 debs will bow. Usually the big parties are benefits for some charity; pro fits from the International Deb Ball, for instance, will go to the Kidney Disease Founda tion of New York. 18 Countries Represented Debs planning to bow at this party include the daugh ters of Gen.

There are flowers and photographs and party clothes. In addition, the girl's parents take tables, footing the dinner tab for themselves and friends.
