A woman friend asked her to look up a remote jewelry shop in Paris that she had makes "the darlingest animal and vegetable earrings." She wanted a pair of each. Another friend requested a mink coat. Joan suggested she get it in America instead. A doting mother commissioned Joan to buy a dozen steak knives of a specific, pattern in Denmark, for her about-to-be-married daughter. Joan found them in New York at the same price and shipped them off before departure.

When in Frankfurt, Joan must pick up a German issue of Vogue magazine, and some penny peppermints at the railroad station for a friend with nostalgic memories of a long. ago trip to Germany. Joan's trip is one she has If you're planning a trip abroad, don't tell your friends, advises Joan Gardner, prominent advertising woman and fashion expert of St. On the eve of her departure for a seven week tour of Europe, Joan views with dismay the shopping list she has cumulated from Missouri wellwishers. Says she: there was something "I just asked casuallyuld bring them, but I never dreamed it would be anything like this.

If it succeeds in Cuba, and there is every reason to believe it will flourish as the green bay tree, the United States might pay off the national debt by adopting the same measure. Lest the suspense become unbearable, this particular measure is the tax Castro proposed to levy on items printed in the society column or department of any Cuban newspaper.

Adjectives, such as beautiful, charming, chic, svelte, handsome, rich, irresistible, would be taxable on a sliding scale designed to bolster the public treasury. When Castro paused between nonstop teevee appearances and cops-and-Trujillo plots to suggest this tax, no one was quite certain whether his aim was really to raise funds or to abolish society. There was even a third possibility: since individual newspapers were charged with collecting the tax, of which Castro said the news medium was entitled to 10 percent, it would have been a means of helping papers pay for newsprint. However, it is the experience of this retired society editor that if Castro thought to abolish society by taxing the society department or column out of existence, the Cuban leader is singularly innocent of the life and times of cafe society. This cafe claque is a tough breed of cat that is never quite certain of its own existence until it has scanned the daily press.

Just to mix metaphors a bit, it can never be sure of its own place in order of barnyard pecking until its has read its notices in the society column. It is my experience that cafe society is about equally compounded of money, gall, credit cards, and press clippings, and the greatest of these are gall and press clippings. Teevee in these past few winterse of, our familiar to discontent the point has of viewers' fatigue with the By INEZ ROBB Western cowpoke who would steal to feed his pony. Well, his modern counterpart is the cafe society character who would think nothing of a little second-story work to feed his vanity, that is, to pay a tax for any mention of his name, plus adjectives, in the society column. Maybe when mama was a girl, a lady had reticence; today she has a press agent.

In 1959, a flack is a society girl's best friend. It may come as a bit of a surprise to the innocent bystander, but during the years I earned by peche melba as a society editor, I learned the hard way that the most unabashed, virulent and determined social climber in the world is not the female of the species but the male. When the self-made tycoon looks around for new worlds to conquer, after his sensational corner in wheat and wild oats, it is with surprising frequency that he starts to case the social world and orders a platinum ladder. So I feel that if Fidel would just take time off from video and examine the society tax till, he might be pleasantly surprised. The social and presidential bees are brothers under the bonnet: their victims never recover.

However, I would go a step farther, if any U. S. lawmaker is listening. I would tax and tax and tax not only the society column but the Broadway gossip column. Never doubt that the pillars of such columns will pay and pay and pay, and Uncle Sam collect and collect and collect.

And the national debt will go, go, go. Good, good, good! Stiles-Kopfer Wedding The Runnemede Lutheran Church provided the setting for the wedding Saturday evening at which Miss Maddy Jo Elizabeth Kopfer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alois J. Kopfer, of 106 Jackson Berlin, became the bride of Mr.

'As Basic as Lipstick Gals Here Can Use Military Training By GAY PAULEY New York, Aug. 25 -Military service should be just as much a part of a girl's growing up as her first lipstick and first formal, says a Israeli soldier and novelist.

Yael Dayan (pronounced yah-ale die-yun) is the daughter of Moshe, Dayan, former commander chief of the Israeli Army, and of Ruth Dayan, head of Maskit, the country's home crafts program. She spent two years in the service after the 1956 Suez crisis and became the youngest lieutenant in the Israeli Army. Still in the reserve corps, she said that military training helps a girl's personality and boosts her patriotism. And learning to shoulder a gun does not necessarily make a girl any less girly. "I'm for anything which will increase any young person's interest in his or her country," said the 20-yearold brunette beauty.

"'The military taught me to worry less about me and more about my nation." "It taught me to share. To know more about learned discipline peoplehen I'm at home now, I make my own bed.

Use a three bulb; and since it will be best turned low while the set is on, it will be necessary to increase "I do not think that military training makes a girl any less feminine," she continued, in an interview. "It might bring out masculine traits which are already there in some women. But a girl who is all female is not affected. "It anything, it enhances feminity.

You're awfully glad to get into cocktail dress and some perfume after you've spent two years, in a uniform." (The Israeli soldier wears trousers, not skirts as do U.S. women in uniform.) She said Israel is the only nation which has compulsory military service for its women. Every able woman under 35 must serve two years. She indicated that American women especially could benefit from a similar program. "They take too much for granted." she said.

"You think twice when you have learned to throw a live hand granade. "But one year is enough for a woman. I don't think the program should be as rigirous physically as it is for us. "There are plenty of places women can serve other than in the field- in hospitals, offices and on the farms." Miss Dayan said that in Israel there is little difference made, either in the training duty for men and women. She trained male recruits most of the time she was in service.

The writer. who first toured the United States in 1956 to help sell Israeli war bonds, is on her second visit to publicize her controversial novel. "New Face in the Mirror," just published here. It already has appeared in several European countries and created quite a controversy in her homeland, because the book describes the un-inhibited love life of an Israeli girl soldier. Some scandalized Israelis noted resemblances between the fictional heroine and the author.

But Miss Dayan said the book is not autobigraphical. "Of course." she plained, "it is difficult to separate the real from the fictional, but the leading character is very much aggerated."
