have signed up for a charm course with a differe,nce, conducted by Ruth Lang Fitzgerald. Mother of seven children, outstanding model, fashion and ch'um school authority, fashion show commentator and contributor to many national magazines, she presents a course including figure analysis, tips on hair styling, complexion care, clothing, and speech.' The difference is that these glamor techniques are presented together with a Christian assessment of their value and the firm conviction that without charity, modesty and moral· behavior, tricks alone will never generate the inner glow that should characterize the popular girl. "Graciousness," says Mrs. Fitzgerald, "has more than a noddingaequaintance with grace." The charm sessions will be held for an hour and a half for four consecutive Thursdays.
