Germs the other woman. The
other has to do with Julia
and her sensitive reaction to
q woman she considers coarse
and ignorant.
Apparently this woman is
not too well-mannered but
she is not stupid. She is
clever at feeling out Julia's
weak spots and hitting out
at them. Julia would not feel
hurt il she didn't feel there
was q great degree of truth
in what the woman has TO
say.
1t appears that beneath
her polish and know-how,
Julia is a very insecure per-
son. She has covered this
with social graces that win
Evening star., 1959-06-29

her admiration. yet she gains
no real self-confidence be-
cause she is afraid to reveal
her real self and win or lose
popularity on this basis
alone. Julia fears that the
woman she pretends to DIS
dsin has seen through her
pretty facade.
Instead Of trying to involve
her husband in this situation,
she would do far better to
think over some Of the re-
marks. If there is any justice
in them she should try to
remedy her faults. II there
isn't Julia won't find 1t hard
to reject the remarks after
having squarely faced them.

FAMOUS FABLES
BY e. Z. EDGAR

Time: When engrossed in
a scientific discussion, Albert
Einstein took little note Of
the passage Of time.
Once. in Berlin. he invited
an American professor TO his
home. AS they retired to the
upstairs study, Mrs. Einstein
told them that tea would be
served at 4. Promptly at that
hour. she sent the maid to
summon them.
The maid returned in q
moment to report that they
were not in the study and
had apparently gone out for
a walk. Five O'Clock struck
and no scientists. Then 6
o'clock and 7 o'clock. With
an understanding shrug,
Mrs. Einstein cleared the
table. Finally, at 7:30.
the two men appeared. AS
they entered the dining room.
Einstein noticed the bare Ia
BILE. Turning to his guest, he
remarked:
II guess We came back too
early"
Estimate: A young reporter
who was working on the
same paper as Newspaper
man Lincoln Steffens, was
complaining one day about
the editor.
Hes a good fellow" said
Steffens, "but I'll agree he's
a little tough"
1--WE never seen anyone so
hard-boiled," said the other.
Just because he's hard
boiled" said Steffens, doesn't
mean he's a bad egg"

Piles and we really enjoy our
social activities with them.
But there is one woman In the
crowd who gets my goat. She
seems out to hurt my feelings.
She says nasty little snide
things that get under my
skin. I think about 1t for
hours afterward.
Most Of the women in our
set are extremely nice and in
telligent. but this woman is
coarse and takes no interest
in the things We all care
about. I have tried to ignore
her, but that hasn't stopped
her. I have asked my husband
TO try to find out from her
husband why she has it in for
me. But Bill doesn't want to
do it.
Bill E.-Just what I need
to get mixed up in a hen
brawll No thanks, that's not
for me.
1t seems to me that Julia
is just too sensitive. None Of
the other women feel the way
she does. They agree that this
woman'S manners aren't the
best and that she tends to
be a little catty. but they
take her in stride because
all Of US like her husband,
who happens to be the life
of'our parties.
The way I look at 1t. this
woman must be a little
jealous Of Julia because my
wife definitely has class.
Everybody always says that
she has so much polish she
could go places socially II she
were interested in that sort
Of thing. Most women look
up to her and come to her
for advice about what to wear
and how to entertain. This
woman has never done that.

REPORTER
Poll on Worst Has Surprises

The First Annual Poll for
the Worst Actor is over. The
public. which gets no oppor-
tunity to vote for the best
in entertainment, sent its
nominations for the worst
with a great deal of en-
thusiasm. Instead Of award
ing Oscars, I think that /
will send a celluloid cigarette
lighter. if I can find a cel-
luloid cigarette lighter.
There were ten categories.
The honorS for Worst Actor
were won, after a bitter
struggle, by Mr.. Tab Hunter.
In second place was that
mountain of muscle, Rock
Hudson. who beat out Enrol
Flynn and John Wayne, tied
for third place.
Among the actresses, Mari
lyn Monroe strutted of with
the Most Abysmal title. fol-
lowed at a distance by Eliza
beth Taylor and Kim Novak.
A poll such as this is full Of
surprises. and I cannot un-
derstand how Zsa Zsa Gabor
got only 13 votes. For all I
know. the l3 may have been
cast by George Sanders.
The Least Inspiring Movie
was found to be Gigi. In Sec
ond place was Separate
Tables. In third, Cat on a
Hot Tin Roof. I can account
for this only by figuring that
many of you have not en-
dured the exquisite agonies
of Bus Stop and Peyton
Place.
The Dregs of Television
Acting was won by that old
Smithfleld. Milton Berle,
who wasn't competing. Sec
ond place goes to Broderick
Crawford, who gruntS ex-
pressively. Jack Paar is in
third place. and I hope you
realize what this Is going to
do to Leaky Jack.
The ladies on television
have a difficult time, what
with melting makeup and
quick changes. Still, Gale
Storm finished strong as the
weakest of the lot, with Mar
tina Raye and Dinah Shore
trailing.
The television show which
appears to inspire the most
running to the refrigerator
is none other than that Seer
of the Serutan Set, Law
renee Welk. In second place
is a favorite Of mine, What's
My Line2 which is tied for
dishonors with The Berle
Show.
In the field of radio-and,
by the way. what's radio?--
low acting laurels 60 to
Arthur Godfrey, who, as l re-
call, never tried to act except
in a commercial. He beat out
Jack Benny and Peter Lind
Hayes.
The girl who plays Helen
Trent walked off, almost two
to one, with the Cast Iron
Compact as an award for
Worst Radio Actress. In Sec
ond place was Miss Monitor.
a name which escapes me,
and in third is Mary Healy.
How could you?
It would appear that the
least appealing of the radio
shows are almost all daytime
serials. The winner is Helen

I disagree with something
I have Just read-about how

tor in question has the right

who feel otherwise have an
equal right to disapprove.

will cooperate more readily.
It's not fair to blow smoke
in a mans face, and in
the next breath tell him:

/ suppose 1t Is disconcerting
to be on the receiving end of
the smoke as the doctor
hands down this ultimatum.
Nevertheless, I don't go along
with such reasoning. 1t sets
