Not my people realize that non-drinkers at a partv go through various stages of non-intoxication Just as their fellow- We“! go through the reverse process. I start off with a quick ginger ale at home to put me in the mood, determined to enjoy this party if it kills me, determined to laugh at all the jokes and ignore Ken's disappearance into another room with the hostess (it always turns out they're talking about the schoolboard elec- tions) and to flirt mildly with at least two men so as to show that I'm really quite I kid, even if sober.

A Cmdlan My is one of the few places where together- ness ian't always practised; long before the evening is under way, there has been a complete segregation of the sexes with the men huddled " one end of the room and the women at the other, you don't meet again until it's time to en Actually, if there', a man I wt to talk to,' I don't let this stop me; I don't mind putting up with smoke, noise, inane jokes and Indifferent food but I don't intend to be put in purdah as well. be “drinking partygoer is regarded by other guess with good-natured pity and surprise then ignored as the time goes on, but " one party I was chivvied all evening by another guest called Clara.

In her fuddled state she could sense that there was something different about me but she didn't know what it was. I politely declined her services but she continued to follow me around, explaining to everyone that she wanted to help me but a wouldn't let her and when I finally took refuge in the bathroom, she Mood outside the door and cried because I wouldn't co-operate.

Br the time midnight comes I am more cold sober and self-right- wus than ever, reduced to looking at the book titles in the book- cue and counting the minutes until we can leave. A mile-n column to all non-drinkers is the difficulty of distinguishing between degrees of squiffiness; some people look and sound perfectly normal even if their' eyes are turning red and it's frightening when they suddenly fall down In the middle of an argument about modern art; others who are already fixed. at the same angle as the Tower of Pisa surprise you by talking brilliantly about the newest development in bionics. Often there is only a smidgin of time between one stage and another.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. P.; The Women's Auxiliary is Jus- tifinbly proud of its volunteer program for 1962. A grand total ‘of approximately 13,845 hours has been recorded.
