To- day, money talks louder than a crumbling stately home. "When Labor came to power after the war we thought it was all finished," said Mrs. Ken- ward, "But there are more dances than ever." She claims to have invented the ""'ltttle season" which now exends the social whirl to Christmas after the traditional August and September recess spent shooting in Scotland or Norfolk. Some debs take the candy- floss marathon seriously. Many more are openly blase. Char- lotte Bingham knew a girl who carried a pocket edition of War and Peace in her evening purse.

They are easily spotted. by their bland, wideeyed, rather supercilious stare aimed slightly above one's left shoulder;' by their floppy hairstyles wrapped in ex- pensive silk scarves; by their clear commanding voices ob- viously schooled in calling hounds to heel. They talk in feverish excla. mation marks, all about who- was - seen - where, sprinkling "dahlings" arid "my deahs" around like actresses, and tell- ing everybody what a '"'fab" time they had. Outside the ballrooms, debs and their escorts patrol a reg- ular London beat. On Sunday mornings they crowd into two panelled Knightsbridge pubs, the Denmark and the Admiral Codrington, a stone's throw from Harrods, the Victorian Gothic department store where upper - class' mummies help choose their daughters' clothes. In the evenings they some- times go slumming in Notting Hill Gate jazz clubs but more often are found twisting at the Saddle Room in Park Lane, the Blue Angel nightclub or the con- tinental -- style Discotheque in shabby Soho. After three months with hardly an evening at home, some debs have to go on a rest cure. Others, disillusioned by "young men in bowler hats who have to ask their mothers for pocket money," have been known to plunge into the simple life and, to the fascinated horror of the gossip writers, end up a French fisherman marrying or an Italian deckhand. ANN LANDERS --Dear Ann Landers: The letter from "Loose Bolt" bolted loose a few memories for me. I, too, had romantic fantasies about my "'lost love." For 17 years I mooned around when I heard "'our song." I kept visual- izing our life together--as it might have been if we had married. * Then the alumni association announced its big reunion. His name appeared on the roster as one who would be in town for it--with his wife and two chil- dren! My heart leaped! I talked it over with my husband and we agreed to invite the old boy friend, his wife and children to stay in our home. I scrubbed, polished, waxed, shined and ran Sweet Bird Of Youth Now Fat, Old Goose consider "answering back" and how it is different from "sass. ing?" Kids should be allowed to present their side of the story, but having presented it they should accept the decision of that person who just "happens to have lived on this earth about 28 years longer." Dear Ann Landers: I take violent exception to the advice you gave the landlady who com. plained because two working girls entertained male company in their apartment anywhere from 2:00 a.m, to 7:00 a.m. You said: "As long as. the tenants pay their rent, keep the property in good condition and refrain from disturbing the myself to a frazzle for 10 days straight.

The landly has a right to complain if the tenants are turning her property into a brothel. I've rented apartments for a long time and I try to be care- ful. But it's impossible to judge people by looking at them. I've had neighbors who go on hunt- ing and fishing trips at dawn tell me they see men sneaking out of my apartment house at 4:00 and 5:00 a.m. Of course I give these girls notice but too often I get the same kind in their place.
