By MARGARET SCHtJLER
Roma - The Bersaglierl is
a gpecial troop of young Ital
ian soldiers, quite unique in
that they always run. They
drill, march and maneuver -always
running. They slop
on-a split second, and are so
perfectly coordinated as to
seem automatic - like toys.
- As they run, they blow
trumpets - a fanfare. They
wear hats, like ladies' hats -broad
brimmed black patent
leather, trimmed on one side
with bunches of shining black,
curly feathers, they wear
black gloves, in memory of
(I am told) the general who
organized the troop in 1812.
They are the avante garde
in battle.
I saw these soldiers per
form at a benefit for the Ital
ian Red Cross (Croce Rosa
Italiana), .vhich was held at
the race track in the Borg
' hese Gardens, d was adver
tised as the "Carouscle."
. Other spectacles at the
Carouscle were troops dress
ed to represent various mili
tary forces of Italy since the
17th century, and it was cer
tainly a colorful picture -from
the elaborately periwig
ged fashion of the time of
Napoleon, through the Austrian-Hungarian
period down
through the second world
war to modern khaki. They
marched in and around the
ring to drum beat. Also
came, on their horses, into
the arena the elegant, hand-
mine Carboneiri, in their
long-tailed, Uack, red-trimmed
uniforms and hats, and
their glittering swords. Their
performance, which consists
of galloping, trotting and
marching to rhythm, remind
ed me of the Spanish Lip
plzan Riding school exhibi
tions - and were equally
beautiful, I :.iought,
' With the back drop of
stately Italian cypress and
the tall ubiquitous Umbrella
pines, we. sat anr1 watched. We
looked about at the gay, In
souciant Italians, their hap
py, laughing children, the
' young (arms around each
other) couples. On this ideal
Spring afternoon, the care
free marching troops seemed
but figures. It was incongru
ous that each representation
portrayed a time of tragedy,
deppair and poverty; that
these same pines had stood,
Impervious through the many
years, to th vicissitudes of
time and that the sun had set
through the many years, tip
ping the trees with the same
gloriously dramatic red, as
it- did on this satisfying eve
ning. Another benefit for the
Italian Red Cross this week
is at the BarbcrinI palace. It
Is a di play (as we have at
home) of flower and table
settings. And what a display!
With wall-sized oil paintings,
giant-sized Venetian glass
chandeliers, antique period
furniture, the tables, dishes
and linens (the beauty of
which I couldn't have con
jured even in a dream) be
came almost bewildering.
Table after table reprerented
every kind of decoration from
a hunter's feast with a cen
terpiece of a stuffed boar's j
. head, pheasants, rabbits, and
vegetables with correspond
ingly appropriate painted
dishes wilh fowl, fruit and
vegetables - to one with a
centerpiece of 15 sterling sil
ver fish of various kinds,
measuring a least 12 Inches
in length and sitting on little
standards.
The dishes here, corre
sponded likewise. There were
grand tables of silver, tables
of gold, of pink and white,
of lavender, of red, of blue.
There were little tables, then
were trays for "my lady's"
breakfast. There was the
sheerest of linens, floor
length, with film like embroi
dery. And I - even bewildered
though I was - had a vision
of them twirling around in an
American washing machine.
I figured how much It would
cost, and the hours it would
lake to iron one of these
dreams. It Is another world!
Thank goodness, not our:
where women ctill work for
16 cents an hour - Ironing and
washing. The three to sin
crystal wine glasses for each
place do not go into electric
dishwashers either.
We Americans contributed
our share for the Italian Red
Cross also - as we do every
where - a big share. In this
Instance we had (across a lit
tle bridge Into the palace
gardens) an American drug
store, where you coi.ld buy
little commodities that are
typical of our country. And I
had a piece of good old Amer
ican apple pic with , topping
of home made Ice cream.
There was a hot dog stand, a
Cola booth and a lottery with
wonderful prizes contributed
by business concerns such as
Pan-Am, American Express,
Merrill Lynch, etc. Joan Craw
ford officiated at the lottery.
She Is here, as a director of j
Pepsi-Cola, to assist in open
ing a new branch here. I

Provide Angry Child
With Something To Do
University Park, Pa. - (UPD
- Children's outbursts of an
ger are usually the result of
frustrations built up because
of their limited skills and abil
ities, reports Mrs. Marguerite
Duvall.
The Penn State university
extension family life special
ist offered this advice to par
ents:
"Instead of trying to stop
outbursts of anger, help the
children to channel their an
ger into more mature chan
nels of expression. Let a child
kick a football instead of his
sister. And provide him with
Interesting but not offensive
words to use when he is an
gry." ,

Experts Advise on
Opening Champagne
New York HOT - To keep
champagne corks from acting
like guided missiles, follow
these tips from the Wine in
stitute, San Francisco, for
opening sparkling wines.
With the bottle at a 45-de-
gree angle, first loosen the
wire hood by untwisting the
loop of wire on top. Remove
wire and the top of the foil
capsule in a single motion.
But keep a thumb atop the
cork to prevent its popping
out unexectedly. Usually, only
a slight twist does the trick
after this, with inside pressure
forcing the cork out.
If it appears stuck, just ap
ply upward pressure simul
taneously with both thumbs
to loose the mushroom part of
the cork from the bottle neck,
and hold the cork tightly as it
leaves the bottle.
Fabrication
New York - OIPD - If the
bride's dress is silk, the at
tendants should wear dresses
of silk, velvet or velveteen.

"he style and color should
complement the bride's dress.
