THE Coconut Grove, famous club, looks, like keeping. Its THE

popularity for practically ever. It celebrated lis oighteenth- birthday the other day.

Keeping up with his own birthday, Ronald Reagan took his almost-now wife, Jane Wyman, to dance among the palm trees. Jane hovers between super sophisticated outfits and "little numbers shu might have picked up in teen ago departments," like the one in white sharkskin and printed linen you see on the right.

Among the hundreds and even thousands of letters the Reagans have received, are receiving, and will receive from the people who want to furnish them with everything from birth to the grave are letters asking for Advice.

IT is mostly Jane who is asked How To Keep a Husband. Ad- mitting she knows but little as yet from personal experience, she did say this: "Don't believe your husband for one second when he tells you that he 'so much prefers you, dear, with no make-up on and just a little housefrock. He may not know it, but he's really suffering from a buried cavoman complex.

"Best tactics is to agree with him and then be so darn clever with make-up and cute little housefrocks that he'll really believe you've taken it to heart."

"As at the dinner party the other night, which she gave for musi-, cians Rubinstein and Stokewaki, there were special glass holders for flowers, made to order in the shape of grand yianos ond violins."

The wolls of lic Improvised supper room were decked with silver lame.

Blending into the background, Miss M. Dietrich wore to the party a dress of this same allver lame.

Paulette Goddard, known to some na Mrs. Chaplin, also has an emerald or two, even if they don't run into tons. With a gold dress and elbow-length gold mesh gloves she wears a bracelet and clip of cabochon emeralds made info a flower design with petols and leaves of diamonds

UP SHE GOES. Put your sister (the heaviest one) into a chair. Four "lifters" stand round her-place their left hands, one on top of the other, on her head; then their right hands. On the command "Go" they remove their hands. Two lifters place two fingers cach under her knees and two under her arms. They lift and, astonishingly, effortlessly, up she goes. Don't drop her.
