New materials were used

cement sidewalks also add to
the attractiveness of the ex

orate the interior.
"Do it yourself has more

Walker's favorite hobbies.
This particular remodeling
project took them several
months to complete, working
in their spare time. .
The home will be occupied

history of the original struc
ture that was built by a man

where he and his bride lived
their short married life to

Robin Formerly
Used as Motif
For Yule Cards
Woodbridge, Conn.-flJPD-The
robin, now considered a har
binger of spring, once was a
favorite Christmas motif,
much as Santa Claus is today.
The heyday of fobio's pop
ularity was in the 1860's,and
it possibly came to an end be
cause of what the Wright
Brothers did at Kitty Hawk
in 1903.
Legend connected the robin
with Christ,' and thus with
Christmas, according to the
research of C. G. Alton
Means, consultant to a. card
manufacturer's collection of
antique greeting cards.
The legend states that the
bird, in trying to ease Christ's
suffering on His .way to the
crucifixion, pulled a thorn
from the cfown. In so doing,
a drop of blood fell on the
robin's chest and remained
there forever.
Comic robins, perky robins,
robins in he snow and even
dead robins were pictured by
the thousands on Christmas
cards in the late 1800's. Some
were garbed in' clothing and
shown bracing azainst a cold
north wind or in other human
like poses.
j Birds, ana tneir mastery oi
the skies, had a particular ap
peal to pedestrian man in by
gone years. Their downfall in
popularity came with and
possibly because of the air
plane. ' - -4

it's not unusual to have 80
guests for lunch.i
In the afternoon, I go to tea

guests). The teas are late-5:30

go to bed. At night there are
many official receptions and
guests to entertain."
She and Hill.try .to keep
their calendars free two nights

the boys, and they also try to
spend week ends as a family
group.

By MARY ANN CLINTON
United Press International
San Francisco-iUPD-Tliere's a men's club in San Francisco
that is the answer to a young career girl's dream.
It's called The Tuesday Downtown Operators and Ob
servers, and it is comprised of 20 young professional men
all bachelors. Chief officers are the Dean of Women and a
Vice Dean in Charge of Procurement.
The TDO & O.'s, as the club
is popularly known as, was
founded 10 years , ago as a
weekly lunch meeting of
young businessmen. But a
mixed-up TDO&O'er turned it
to its present purpose wom
en. "Break your date or bring
her," was the group's ultima
tum to the member who ask
ed to be excused one Tues
day because . he'd forgotten
and made another lunch date
with La lady friend.
He brought her, the idea
caught onand since then the
TDO&O's have entertained
one or . two young ladies
more than 1,000 during the
10 year span at each Tues
day lunch.
"Usually one member has
dated a girl once or twice and
thinks the others would enjoy
her company as a date," said
pne member. "So he invites
her to - Tuesday lunch, and
from there on, his fellow
members are on their own."
What goes on at Tuesday
lunch?
"The meetings tren't a
grind because there really are
no meetings, no dues, no re
quirements, and no false mo
tives," said Michael Robbins,
a member in the real estate
business. "Besides . meeting
girls, it's the only way . some
of the fellows see each other
from week to week."
From the girls' point of
view,- the meetings are fun
and produce dates.
"Usually, they just have cne
guest," said one chosen fe
male; "But the week I went
there were three of us. Dur
ing lunch we passed our ad
dresses around and got ac
quainted. It's a good way for
the fellows to meet new girls,
and we certainly enjoy meet
ing new men too.''
Did the lunch result in oth
er dates with the boys?
"Why sure!" she said.
"It was quite formal but in
a congenial sort of atmos
phere," said Evelyn von
Munchhausen, 21, a secretary
originally from New York
Citj . "We ate on the .terrace
at the Centerbury Hotel and
the group' stood as a new girl
entered. They passed out ad
dress and, phone lists for re
ference." ( "It's not only refreshing but
rewarding for a single gal to
know such fine, well-mannered
and intelligent' young men
who get together and extend
a dignified invitation to a
girl to meet them," said Joan
Hancock, 25, who came .to
San Francisco from Minne
apolis, Minn..
"They have very original
parties, and you meet the oth
er men besides the members
at the ,big parties," said Sue
McCune, 26, a . kindergarten
teacher. - .
Numbering 20 strong this
year, the club has-had some
200 members. 'The most com
mon reason for membership
turnover is marriage, often
marriage to an ex-luncheon
guest.
Bob Valentine, the Dean of
Women, does not know how
many members have married
guests, but the marriage turn
over is about four a year. The
first . feminine guest, Sally
Faye, married member Mich
ael Tobin.
"When the guy on 'duty
roster'-he is the one in charge
of asking the girl doesn't
show with the guest we call
it 'Black Tuesday'," a-member
said.
The penalty? The wrath of
19 members, plus suspension
of roster duties for six months.
But this doesn't happen often.
Each spring the club issues
Ben Day, Mrs. Fred Lorish
and Mrs. Allen as members.
Mr. Day ' heads the consti
tution and by-laws committee,
with Mr. Teeters, Mr. Ben
nett and Mrs. Lorish on the
committee.
Membership chairman is
James M. Ragland, with Mrs.
Bosworth to assist him. Mrs.
William Dawkins, Ashland,
heads the public relations and
publicity committee, ,with
Mrs. William Young and
Clark Hayden as committee
members.
Warren. Wolf was named
chairman of a committee to
act as school liaison and ed
ucation, with Mrs. Curtis Nes
heim, Miss Catherine Fonken
and Miss Marion Ady, Ash
land, as members. . -
Next meeting of the group
will be December 14 at the

"There's too many girls for

come from? The current 20

UPI Women's Editor
New York (UPD Yes,
Virginia, there is a Santa
Claus. But . heis a changed
character from the good old
days. He has to be, to keep
up with today's children.
Santa leaves his "ho ho ho"

Santa had a wee drop to keep
him warm are gone; also
gone were the -days when
