trist at Gallinger Hospital, and
DR.. Gerhardt Gordon, chief med
ical officer in psychiatry at CAL

Comfort First
In Shirts
By Eleni

Shopping statistics prove that
women do a great majority Of
the buying of mems shirts. ties,
and other apparel. Women like
to shop for men and judging
from the lack of complaints. the
gentlemen don't mind, in the
least. This giving them time
for another round of golf, prob
ably.
In looking around for a good
sportshirt remember comfort
first with the men. They like
good classic styling and contrary
to what you may hear they like
conservative colors. They, too,
know that a solid color enables
them to wear their sportshirt
with number of different slacks.
Our two pictured Sportshirts
fill the bill adequately on all
points. One is in a washable
cotton terrycloth with an ace
tate crew neckline detailing. The
tWo-buttoned pull-over with the
collar is of a fine cotton knit.

tween $3.50 and 4::30 for shopping

By MurieI Nissen

DEAR MISS NISSEN: I'm a
mother of SO. the proud parent
of two teen-age children. Our
home life has been very happy.
My husband is a fine and loving
man, the Children are splendid
and we have no domestic prob
lens. Our difficulty goes back to
our marriage. We married
young, against the wishes of our
parents, whose only objection
was on the ground of our youth,
and the ceremony was performed
By a justice of the peace. My
mother, who is very religious,
was heartbroken, but we later
had the marriage blessed in
church with everything straight
ened out satisfactorily. Now. the
children are at an age where
they ask questions about our
courtship and wedding. They
want to know why we didn't
have a big church wedding, why
have no bridal dress, etc.
TROUBLED PARENTS.
ANSWER: Trying to keep the
circumstances of a marriage a
secret from children is foolish
and futile. The minute they
sense a mystery about something,
they'll uncover it by hook or by
crook. Frankness is the best
policy. Tell them you were
secretly married. and why. Ad-
NIT that it was a grave mistake,
that you've regretted it ever
since, and hope that they profit
from your error. Let them know
how sorry you are that there are
no pictures of you as a glamorous
bride. no wedding veil to pass on
to your daughter, and no sweet
memories of floWer-flled
church as a background to your
nuptialS. The children will be as
sorry as you are that you missed
all these things, and your frank
ness may 60 a long way in con-
vincing them that they won't
miss the things you failed to
have. Teen-agers appreciate the
confidence of their parents and
it's too bad that so many
mothers and fathers fail to
realize this.
DEAR MISS NISSEN: My
problem is most unusual. and I'd
appreciate your advice. I am 10
and engaged to q boy 18: we
plan to be married in May or
June. I have just learned that I
need a thyroid operation. I
would hate to go into marriage
and have my husband immedi-
ately faced with such a big ex-
pense. My mother and father
can't afford to finance the opera
ton. either. Id get a job and
pay for it myself. but Daddy
doesn't want me to go to work,
even though I've finished high
school. Should I tell my fiance
before we're married, or wait?
PR.
ANSWER: Your brief note is
30 full of problems, I don't know
which to tackle first. Perhaps
I'll just skip lightly over the
obvious folly of marrying an 18-
year-old boy. and get down to
the presented facts Of your ILL
ness. 1t doesn't seem reason

On the Air
Rosemary Has Come Up in the World
And Miss clooneys Meteoic Rise Is Being Appouded BY All
As Nothing More Than Such Nice Girl as This Deserves

-Four years ago local tele-
viewers. considerably fewer in
number at the time, got their
first look at Rosemary Clooney
on a WTTG variety show.
Miss Clooney and her sister
Betty were singing with Tony
Pastors orchestra at a North
east night club at the time.
Her fee was the gratitude of
the columnist who conducted
the program and Miss Clooney
was happy to get it.
Televiewers more recently
saw the singer as a guest star
on "The Comedy Hour" with
I Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis.
Her tindisciosed fee for the
appearance was considerably
more than Colgate's gratitude,
for Rosemary has come up in
the world. Her next television
appearance win be on another
network show, probably Mil
ton Berle's, and she will in
troduce the score Of her first
starring motion picture.
Miss Clooney's first starring
movie is also her first movie,
giving her a distinction which
comes to but few. It's some
thing she herself didn't dream
was in the future q few months
ago when she was nibbling at
fame as the girl who had re-

had much effect as yet, but

Shirley ToIks Of Roles and Reviews
Miss Booth Making Sweep Of Acting Prizes Most Pleased
With Crew Members Pruse Of Her Shebo' ACTING

Another thing Shirley Booth
has done in this. world is to
prove that drama and movie
critics can be as human as any
one elSe-once in a while.
These judicial types, SO they
think at least, do not write re-
views of Miss Booths acting.
They write love letters to her.
Open love letters, which are
the critical equivalent Of cut
ting their initials under Miss
Booths on what used to be a
tree.
Miss Booth, who was in
Washington a few days ago
for a screening party in her
honor. is naturally delighted
with this.
Nevertheless, it Is not merely
the professional reviewers Of
her art who make her happy.
A workman on the set at
Paramount when she was
making Come Back, Little
Sheba," pleased her as much
with his unprofessional COM
ment.
Grew Attentive
It was the early stages of
the filming, Miss Booth re-
calls. Crew members were
watching the action with the
attention they give to prom
inent stage actresses making
their first movies. They like
to see for themselves what. If
anything, these famous Broad
way players have that film
performers lack.
I'VE had got far enough
into things that this particular
chap, a very nice man. had a
sound idea of what was going
on" Miss Booth says. He
proved this to me when he
came over to me one day and
said, very kindly: Lord, Miss
Booth, but that Lola Delaney

Within two minutes I was

There are things about this
Clark Gable that a girl can't
resist.
The moment I knocked at
his door it was snatcted open,
and there he stood - easy,
smiling, full Of welcome. I mo-
ticed a snowy fieck of hair
against the deep-bronzed face.
It was a mans welcome. No

How could I resist that
