his co-star Mary Martin
fought a running battle over
steam heat. he recalled in
"Ezio PIMA, An Autohio-
graphy," written with Robert
Magidoff.
Mary hated steam heat
and radiators, whereas / grew
up longing for them. The first
thing Mary did when the
steam came kissing up in the
radiator in her dressing room.
was to turn it of. I turned
mine wide open. Still. we
would have gone on being
good neighbors were it not
for the hallway we shared,
where a large-sized radiator
warmed the chilly air blowing
in from the outside.
Mary, whose room was
farther away, kept turning
the radiator of. kept turn
ing it on. The contest grew
in intensity until it became
a war of nerves. Mary's hus-
band was a faithful ally. 1
counted on the assistance Of
my valet. An uneasy stale
mate had set in when the
enemy outmaneuvred us. They
took the knob off the radiator.
II ordered my valet to get
a pair of pliers. I turned the
heat on full blast. The steam
whistled q victory song into
my ears all evening long. The
battle was wonl But when I
entered the hallway the next
evening, the radiator was
gone altogether.
II appealed to the producers
and a resolution was passed
to restore the radiator. Mary
submitted with a gracious
ness that made the moral
victory hers"

we were blessed with twin
boys, Abby, my husband has
no patience and he has made
up his mind that these babies
will be trained to obey. When
one baby awakens and starts
TO cry, naturally the other
one wakes UP and they both
cry. My husband goes to
their cribs and whips them
with his belt. 1t breaks my
heart, but I can't do any
thing about 1t. My husband
is so big and strong and i'll
tempered. Sometimes there
are marks on their little
backs and bottoms. Abby,
should I take my babies and
go to my mothers? l am so
ashamed and heart broken.
Please guide me right.

babies with a belt as they lie
