Two boys, about IA, walked
onto the parking lot of one
of those curb service restau-
rants which have the me-
chanical ordering device be-
side each car space. They
walked into one of the spaces,
pressed the button, gave their
order, and when the waitress
arrived, stood there drinking
their cokes.
A lady motorist looking for
a place to park saw a man
maneuvering his car in a
handy space on d street NV.
She braked to a stop, tying up
a long line of traffic behind
her. She waited, as the man
kept twisting and turning.
She smiled at him, and ne at

Some Quiz Kids
On Shakespeare
BY JACK JONAS

The folks at the Folger
Shakespeare Library, admit
ting that the wisdom of Solo,
mon is needed to answer all
the questions that come to
them, are fearlessly expanding
their services.
In the face of the fact that
no Solomon has come forth to
handle the queries-particu-
larly those piercing questions
from grade and high school
pupils-their bravery verges
on the foolhardy.
Take a look at some of these
questions, discussed in the
Folger's latest report:
"One high school girl wanted
to know whether we thought
Shakespeare was happily mar
ried. We wouldn't hazard a
guess on that one. Another
wanted to know how Shake
speare spent the last few
months of his life. We guessed
he spent it talking to STRAIT
ford CATERS about the good
old days.
Zone wanted a floor plan of
ShakeSpeare's birthplace. Just
what effect this had on the
development of genius we
don't know.

Jersey, required to write a
paper on some famous person

us for help.
"One question from a Chi
cago school girl still has us
puzzled. She wanted to know
if we had something like the
commandments that were vio-
lated in each one of Shake
speare'S plays Yes, we have.
but we would rather send
them to her teacher"
Despite all this, the Folger
is forging ahead. planning
more services for teachers and
students.

Home Specialist
Offers Tips On
Skillful Shopping

High living costs can sure make
a household budget seem made
quate, but skillful shopping will
enlarge" your husbands pay
check
To be a skillful shopper, Miss
Patricia A. Middleton, extension
home management specialist at the
University of Delaware, suggests
using shopping list. Shop around
too, she adds, and keep within a
price range limit you have estab-
lished.
Your shopping will increase if
you compare values of different
qualities, and weights and measures
of goods. Be sure you get the most
desired in quantity, durability or
overall quality for the price paid,
Miss Middleton explains. Do this
by comparing tags and labels, and
selecting goods by need-not by
whim. Beware of so-called. bar
gains.
Additional ways the home spec
ialist recommends for skillful shop
ping are these: Shop during nom
rush hours, and don't shop for inn
portant items when you're tired or
rushed. Handle goods carefully,
and return goods only when neces-
sary.
In pointing out that wise buying
provides satisfaction, Miss Middle
ton cautions against being swayed
by high-pressure craftsmanship,
clever advertising, fads, appeals and
personal whims.
