Van Dyke, trio of e-cracking
if none too inventive scriptwriters
and a cast of players at home in
slick comedy, tell us once again what
a sad life it is for a girl when her
husband trusts her so throughly that
he won't become jealous to prove
his love. The approach is less that
of scampering Scotty worrying a
new toy than it is that of lumber

the wife who considered it one of
the better human emotions, in which
the husband does finally take a
poke at a fancied intruder on his
marriage, has been kept around the
Hollywood kennels for long time.
1t also is to be expected that Mai.
Van Dyke, having been over all this
ground before, might come forth
with something reasonably amusing
which is what he has done.
Actually the only important fault
of The Feminine Touch" is that

Manners

Moment

On behalf Of the hard-pressed
young boys and girls whose mothers
make them write thank you notes
after Christmas to all their uncles
and aunts, I'd like to make q pre-
Christmas suggestion. I'd like TO
offer the idea that uncles and
aunts might incloee stamped, self
addressed postal card in the present,
which would say on it something
Ike this: Dear Aunt Mandy. do
. don't thank you for my
Christmas present" 1t would make
life 50 much easier for the younger
generation.
OF course I don't want TO run
down the excellent training that
these youngsters get in being po-
lite about gifts. Naturally I think
1t is something they should all know
about. But it does seem rather hard
on them land it's no doubt equally
hard on their parentO that prsc-
ticaIly all Of nfe's early thank-you
notes should come during the weel
after Christmas. And I think the
donors should take that into ac-
count. JEAN.
