gift, but also a compliment.
Perfume tells the lovely lady
that you think she is feminine

you would like to treat her to
a luxurious bottle Of one of
her favorite perfumes or If
she's the kind of person who
likes surprises you might buy
her a completely different
scent than she ever has worn.
II so. the fragrance salesgirl
will be happy to assist you in
your selection. In addition to
the "dressing-table-s size" why
not add a tiny purse f1acon of
perfume SO that she will have
fragrance with her always.

larger ones to be tucked

FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

PEN NAME: During his early
days as a writer, the late biog-
rapher Marquis James wrote
fiction for the pulps. He turned
out the stuff with great speed,
under a number of different pen
names.
After he had completed one
full length story in less than a
day, his wife asked him what
pen name he would use on the
title page.
After a moment of thought,
James decided to use the name

ECONOMY: Actress Katharine
Hepburn is not enthusiastic
about ocean travel. as the drip
ping Of a faucet Is enough to
make her seasick. When she was
to sail for Europe one time, she
booked third class passage.
The head of studio publicity
was Mortified.
"You can't do this!" he pro-
tested. "A big star like you has
to travel first class. It's expected
of you"
II don't care what's expected
of me-" snapped Miss Hepburn.
"Why should pay for first class

agonizing expression Of his face;
also, In the rapidity and difh-
Guilty Of his breathing.
Run upstairs; run after bus;
play a few sets Of tennis and you
have a similar demonstration of
stepped up normal breathing.
Usually. breathing is a quiet. or
derby, automatic process. Healthy
persons are unaware Of the in
take and expiration of air. "As
easy as breathing" applies to
them without question.
With illness. real or imaginary,
comes an entirely different train
of symptoms. For example, here
is a nervous woman Of 80 who
comes complaining Of "shortness
Of breath" She is quite anxious.
She believes she has heart trou-

says she can walk upstairs and
hurry without discomfort. What
she has labeled breath-shortness
is really an inability to I'LL her
lungs satisfactorily.
Hear her tell it: Doctor, I've
been short Of breath for the past
two months. 1t bothers me most
when I'm sitting quietly. I be-
come conscious Of my breathing.
I never used to think about it
until lately. I've noticed that
I can't completely flll my lungs
with air. In other words I can't
get the satisfaction OF a full.
deep breatah. To put it another
way. I don't enjoy breathing
anymore. Do you think this
shortness of breath is caused by
heart trouble?"
Not Heart Trouble
Usually the answer is an I'M
equivocal NO. "Shortness of
breath" is a misnomer for this
symptom. 1t has nothing to do
with disordered circulation. It
is caused by nervousness. ten
sion and anxiety which indirectly
affects the breathing center.
Often. simple reinsurance causes
this symptom to disappear. At
other times, we doctors have to
dig deep for the underlying
cause.
This woman's "shortness of
breath" disappeared within a
few weeks. Probably sedatives
helped. But what really did the
trick was a marital difficulty
that was Strengthened out. Her
husband. who had left home
months earlier, now had re-
turned.
Another functional type of

ton we call "overbreathing."

it wasn't true shortness OF

Many conditions other than
heart disease may cause short

An obese person who climbs

unused to exertion. will be short

True shortness Of breath is
caused primarily by deficient
oxygenation of the blood. You
breathe faster simply to bring
more oxygen to the tissues. You
may have shortness Of breath
due to severe anemia. There is
not enough haemoglobin to
carry oxygen.
You may have breathing diff

ability as a homemaker, none
too common these days, will not
hurt the marriage.
Many girls tend to deteriorate
as they pass the first flower of
young womanhood. but this girl
may keep on improving herself
and become a credit to the fam
lily into which she would marry.
The fact that she was willing
Ito take a job as maid in order
ito get out of q drab mining
town and seek brighter life
should certainly not be held
against her. Lightheaded girls
ARE likely to seek a more alluring
and less Thoughtful way out.
The son of this family has
come home from the Army pre-
pared to appreciate an attrac-
tive, honest, wholesome girl who
enjoys home making and is
good at it. Perhaps he is more
fortunate than most boys Of
this generation to have his love
in his own home.

THE DETAILS

MRS. T.L.M.-My son came
home from the Army last year.
only to fall in love with a young
girl from a foreign family who is
working for us as maid.
The girl came to me from d
mining region two years ago.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-01-13

She was a little crude then, but
she has picked up a great deal OF
aptitude and has learned to dress
neatly and speak well. I wondered
why she did not leave us to find
a more attractive job, as most
girls seem to do, but now I UNDER
stand what enabled me to keep
such a good maid.
My husband is very bitter
about this affair, wants me to dis
charge the girl at once and break
up the romance. I am by no
means enthusiastic about the
prospect of their marrying, but
1 am hopeful that we may talk
our son out of it If we keep the
Igirl and restrain ourselves.
THE SON My parents are
Iprejudiced against this girl be-
cause her family are foreigners.
I've met all kinds of girls, and
find her more attractive, more
honest and more charming than
ANY other girl I've ever known.
T. L. My son is infatu-
lated. I'll admit she's an attrac-
tive girl, but she must be a bit
common to hold down a maid S
JOB at a time like this, when
good jobs are easy to get.
am very much afraid my boy
will regret this marriage in a
little while. I think the very fact
that she was a servant in his
home will come to taunt and
torture him later on. I would
like to save him from tragedy.
THE COUNCILS VIEWS
Both parents overlook an i'm
portant factor in this situation.
Their boy has just come through
a real melting pot. the Army.
He has met people from all parts
Iof the country and from all
racial backgrounds, and her orr
gin does not shock him.
The fact that she is a maid
may stir some prejudice in him,
but this is not necessarily so
More important is her capacity
to grow in knowledge and charm,

The Zoo put two okapis on
display today-strange creatures
with giraffe heads, donkey ears,
horse necks, elk bodies and
zebra legs. The rare beasts have
never been shown here before.
Science didn't even know that
okapis existed until this century,
The animals dwelt deep in the
Belgian Congo, geological throw
packs to a period Is million
years ago. They are living fossils,
Baron Leopold Dhanis of the
Belgian Embassy here made the
presentation. He is consul for
Belgian Congo affairs.
The okapi is a member of the
giraffe family. The giraffe we
know, the one with the OUTSIDE
necks, got their legs and necks
stretched out through centuries
Of straining up for meals on
trees. The okapi just stayed put
in the Congo, eating lower.
The sign on the okapi cage
identifies the male as Hanadi
and his mate as Masudi. Baron

DR.. Theodore Reed, acting di-

were in perfect shape. They
came here after 80 days in quar-

day quarantine in Hamburg,
Germany.
They are youngsters. Born In
1854, they won't be adults for
four years.
No okapis were seen in United

parks in New York, Chicago and
San Diego have displayed them
since then.

director Of the Zoo here, tried
for decades to get okapis into
his collection. He was at the park
today to inspect them. He rated
them as the second most i'm

gave first place to a pair of
