SWEDISH RUNNER
SKlPS ROMANCE
Haegg Refuses To Discuss
Proposed Marriage
With Reporters

CHICAGO, March 14.-tR-Gun-
der Haegg, the Swedish long dis
lance runner, dismissed romance
in a decidedly unromantic manner
today when he arrived to compete
Saturday in the Chicago relays.
Immediately after his plane
landed reporters asked him about
his plans for marrying Miss Doro'
thy Nortier, 81, of Oakland, Calf,
who was in Chicago supposedly to
discuss the projected marriage OF
was not at the airport.
Haegg said through an interpret
err that he didn't want to discuss
the matter at all because it was
my private affair."" and when
the reporters asked if he intended
to see Miss Nortier in Chicago he
said No, 1 don't think So"
Haegg and his athletic travelling
companion, Kaakan Lidman, the
hurlder, had quarters reserved at
the same hotel where Miss Nor.
tier arrived Monday night.
She has been secluded from most
interviewers but the Chicago Daily
News quoted her as saying they
have been engaged since Septem-
Der 8, 1943, the day before he left
for Europe after his first Ameri-
can visit.
Her mother, Mrs. Esther No
tier, said in Oakland that the
couple planned to discuss the mar
riage in Chicago, as well as pos
sibilities of her returning to Swe-
den with Haegg, and that it was
expected they would be married
in Oakland.
Today Haegg declined to tell re-
porters whether he intended to be
married at all. He said he expected
to spend the rest of today Sleep
ing and resting and would forego
a planned workout.
He was met by large delega-
ton representing the Swedish COM
munity, including Swedish socie-
ties and the office of Costa Olden-
burg, Swedish consul general.

Letter From Paris

Tiny waists are now indorsed by
American designers, according to
the u. S. A. papers which get over
here, SO / need not say anything
more about them. BY big hips, I
mean that skirts and jackets are
rounded just below the waist and
held out by stiffened pockets Gas
Balenciaga has been doing for over
q year,, or that slim skirts have loop
and fabric drapes around the hips,
as Lelong or Maggy Rouff do it.
Mad Carpenter, one of the young
designers already acknowledged in
top rank, joins her skirts on to tiny
flaring hip yokes by a seam that
holds the line out. If you place q
tape under the material as you stitch
such q seam, you will get the effect.
Robert Piguet emphasizes hips by
contrasting yokes.
The slim skirts this season are a
revival, after several years of the
peasant silhouette, but all in ALL
full skirts continue to predominant,
and even the narrower silhouettes
are draped or cut to achieve an
ampler look than most American
clothes. Parisians need plenty of
width for walking and cycling, still
major means of getting places; and
another reason for the greater full
ness Is that so many fabrics are
still substitute ones which won't
bear lot OF strain at the seams, and
will quickly bag at knees or der
riere II they fit too snugly. Then,
too, the Partisan has become enam-
ored of the big slit pockets which
can be hidden in the full skirts.
All during the occupation they had
to carry their identity papers, ra-
ton cards, and other valuables
around with them, and these pockets
were such a grand solution they are
not likely to be quickly given up.
You find them even in dinner gowns,
and they have created a new set of
gestures, for women like to walk
with their hands in the Sits, thrust
ing the fullness of the skirt forward
in graceful young movement. They
should be a natural for the girl
who always asks her escort to carry
her vanity and hpstick.
Shoulders are in evolution. They
are still wide but descending. Most
widely indorsed are the rounded
variety, well padded, and the
squared but slightly declining, like
the shoulders of a mans hunting
jacket. Two of the top designers,

A man asks: Viewed realistical-
ly, what practical advantage has
marriage to. offer an average man
who, in spite of his bachelor state,
has a comfortable, contented, we'll
regulated and orderly life?"
1t seems to me that the answer to
that question depends upon what the
individual man wants OF life. Not
all men desire the same things.
Tastes differ in happiness just as
much as they do in food, so there
is no way to write the price tag on
marriage and determine whether it
is worth what it costs or not.
Admittedly marriage is the great
est gamble on earth, and it is prob
ably this appeal that it makes to
our sporting spirit that keeps the
wedding bells ringing. For no one
can prophesy how a marriage is
going to pan out. No man knows
whether his bride is going to turn
out to be his hearts desire, or a
pain in the neck. He doesn't know
whether she will be spender, 1r a
saver, or even a good cook, SO 1t Is
no wonder that he stands shiverlne
on the brink and wondering
whether he should plunge into the
matrimonial sea or not.
In trying to assess whether there
are more red points in marriage
than there is in single blessedness
there are number of things to be
said. One is that it gratifles mans
home loving instinct, for, after all
man is a domestic animal and likes
his own stall and his own oats. The
average man wants his own place to
come home to after hard days
work, and a wife to provide him
with food that he doesn't have to
pick out from menu.
Also wife is the best safety valve
vet devised for a husbands nerves
