Much weaving is done in
Mexico City but the villages
Of Toluca, Oaxaca, Chicon-

work.
Wool From Australia

higher labor costs. We have

would cost q fortune in the
States"
Curiously the Mexican use
Of handwoven fabrics In play
clothes has obscured the fact
that the fashion industry Is
using the same fabrics for
smart street and dress wear.
Largely due to the work Of
the recently organized "Co-
mite de la Moda Femenina

the Mexican look" the che

FAMOUS FABLES
BY Z. E. EDGAR

Discipline: During his years
as conductor of the Marine
Band, John Philip Sousa had
to put up with opinions from
military brass who did not
understand music, relates
Kent Cooper in Kent Cooper
and the Associated Press. ~ =
ION one occasion, Gen.
Nelson A. Miles, then head
of the United States Army,
and well known as a disci-
plinarian, heard a Marine
Band concert for the first
time. Afterward, Sousa asked
him what he thought of the
band.
Very good, I guess" Miles
said. But the discipline is
bad. Every time you turn
and face the musicians on
the left, the ones on the
right stop playing, and vice
versa"
Question: Humorist Bill
Nye, asked to attend the
funeral of a fellow author,
appeared at the chapel in d
business suit instead of more
Somber attire. g
Don't you think it would
have been more appropriate
for you to wear dafb
clothes?" said a friend re.
proachfully. 81
Not at ALL" replied Nye::
II only wear mourning
clothes when there is a ques-
ton in my mind as to where
the deceased is going"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-07-01

able clothes, but I Just don't
approve Of a lot Of the stuff
that is available in today's
homes-pictures of certain
actresses in the least possible
clothing, for example.
When my husband sees
things like that he sets up a
regular whoop and holler-
even in front of the children.
He knows this makes me flu
rious.
It's true that I have had no
cause to doubt Julian's faith
fulness, but it annoys me to
death when he ogles every
female he sees.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
This doesn't appear TO be
true jealousy, but rather a
case Of mutual punishment.
1t is highly probable that
Julian and Hilda knew some
thing about one another's
tastes, habits and attitudes
before they were married. Out
OF large selection of men,
bers Of the opposite sex they
each chose the one most like
ly to get their goats.
We doubt very much
whether Julian really enjoys
his ogling as much as the
tongue-lashing that comes
after it. With one gesture he
can feel like a big, bad wolf
and then like a little boy who
enjoys being kept in line by a
severe mother.
Hilda gets her punishment
first and her pleasure after
wards. She is doubtless truly
wounded when her husband
INDUCES in his favorite pas
time. but then comes the de-
light Of unleashing her strong
will.
We see no great harm in
anyone's noting an attractive
member Of any sex, but when
the observer constantly Gre
ates a big issue about it and
calls it to the attention of a
mate. we believe more is 60
ing on than meets the eye.
In one sense, however, Ju-
liam and Hilda seem ideally
mated and could just go on
enjoying life in their own
peculiar way.

DEAR ABBY: About two
months ago my l6-year-old
daughter fell very hard for a
fellow who, from all appear
ances, seemed very nice He
gave her a big rush and she
was never happier.
Last week she received a
phone call from a girl who
told her she has been going
steady with this boy for a
year. since that time my
daughter has not eaten
enough to keep a bird alive.
She hasn't heard from the
boy since. It's apparent the
boy knows the girl called her.
Or perhaps he put her up to
it. What can I do to help
mend my daughters broken
heart? HER MOTHER
Your daughters heart Is
not brOken-She has Just
learned LESSON ONE the
hard way: Never again will
she give her heart to a boy
about whom she knows SO
little. She'll get over it if
you encourage her to 60 out
with others.

The trouble with Hilda is
that she had a very prudish

writing letters to newspapers

to censor certain things.
Hilda CT don't think it's

DEAR ABBY
Wrong Words of Consolation
BY ABIGAIL VAN BUREN,

DEAR ABBY: Will you
please inform the general
public that when a parent
loses an afflicted child the
most heartless and ignorant
OF all remarks offered by
well-meaning friends is: ITS
a blessing your child died"
/ raised a child with a defec-
tive heart. guarded and pro-
tected every flicker of life
in my child but at age IL
her little heart gave away.
My only comfort was in
knowing that she would suf-
fer no more. Yet l grieve the
same as any mother would
grieve at the loss of a strong
and healthy child. There is
no consolation - only the
thrust of a knife in a fresh
wound when a parent is told,
ITS a blessing your child
died" NO NAME PLEASE.
Your fine letter is Of ines
timable value. I am certain
that those of us who read it
will think twice before offer
ing the kind of consolation"
you describe. Thank you for
writing.
