By ELIZABETH MacRAE BOYKIN

There's a fine art to this business of being a hostess. And for the sake of brides just starting out on their careers, here are some of the rules:

New York, N. Y. -“IT'S TRUE! that in spite of her fame, Jeanette MacDonald is very studious," says Wiley Padan, one time she studied ballet dancing under Albertina Rasch. Every day when not working, she takes a French lesson and also a sing- ing lesson. No, plans interfere with these, for she adjusts her social activities around these two all important lessons. Also on her program, are an early morning swim, a Spanish lesson and usually a tennis lesson !!!
