Col. and Mrs. William A. Roberts, 469 W. 143rd St. for It’s fifth annual Soiree. Mrs. Roberts is the District Finance Chairman. It was one of the methods that she uses to help raise money to support scouting in the Harlem District. There were stars of stage, screen, radio and Television In­ cluding Miss Hilda Simms, Fred­ erick O'Neal. Ossie Davis, Miss Rubye Dee and Miss Lucia Thompson. Courtesy To Non- Drinkers The New Years season is with­ out a doubt made even Jollier by the dozens of cocktail parties and other formal and informal gatherings which abound before and on New Year. It can be a time of irritation and trial, however, for the guest who doesn't drink — unless a thoughful hostess has provided a non alcoholic veverage or two as a substitute. Merle A. Gulick, president of the National Council on Alcohol­ ism, notes that there are mil­ lions of people in the United States who do not drink. •a Guests Have Reasons They have many reasons for abstaining — from disliking the taste or effects of alcohol to the fact that they are recovered al­ coholics who know that one drink can start them off on a vicious binge that may end in hospital­ ization or death. Thus it can be more than a matter of politeness and social etiquette for the conscientious hostess to provide for the non drinker. Some suggestions: Offer at least two non alcoholic beverages as alternate choices to cocktails. Make sure they are light, non-cloy­ ing and not conspicuously differ­ ent from the liquor being serv­ ed. Good examples are ginger ale or cluMsoda with a twist of lemon, seasoned tomato Juice and fruit punch among others. Don't Urge Drinking Park Avenue and Wall Street were represented by Mr. and Mrs. George Dwight and Harold McGraw. Stars Present Among those attending the af­ fair were Mr. and Mrs. Milton Blum.

Wash­ ington, Miss Mildred Weiss, Mrs. Viveinne Williams and Mr. and Mrs. Harold Woodward. At the same time the thought­ ful hostess does not make it dif­ ficult in other ways for the guest who says, “no thanks, I don’t drink.” “All too often, notes Mr. Gu­ ile, “the guest who declines a drink is tempted, cajoled, even shamed into 'just a short one.’ And as we have noted, the re­ sults can be disasterous.” Drinking, like eating sweets or smoking, should be entirely a matter of personal preference. A considerate hostess makes it not to drink, as they choose. By serving a variety of attractive easy for her guests to drink or non-alcoholic drinks she elimin­ ates one ppossible cause of un­ comfortable moments at her par­ ty, and makes for a happier, more satisfying occasion for those who do not choose to drak.
