We have a picture window
that lets us view a grove Of
pine trees. sage grass and the
highway.
Why have I told you all
this? Because we love it this
way: Modern living is all
right but give me at least one
room where one can relax.
I even use a rocker in the
kitchen and long for the day
when we can build a fire.

or hickory logs.
I have noticed how stran-
gers relax in our old rockers
while others are tense in a
straight chair.
There's nothing compared
to a happy home, a loving
Christian husband and fa-
ther, three darling children,
a little four-room house that
my husband built with his
own hands.
We have our problems too
debts, and nave had heart
aches, too, but love and a
place to relax can solve
many problems. If this old
rocking chair could talk 1t
could say so many things.
There's so much unneces-

even an old rocking chair

the inspector evenly. He

Bartlett sputtered. and
then said: "Carlin asked me

today because it's been below

FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

Musician: Inventor Charles
r. Kettering was a man of
infinite versatility. AS a stu
dent at Ohio State University
he had to take military drill,
which he diSliked intensely.
There was only one way out
and that was to join the
school band. whose members
were excused from shoulder
ing arms.
When he announced to a
friend that this was his III
tention. the latter asked:
What instrument do you
play?"
II don't play any," said
Kettering. What are they
short off"
The band needed clari-
netists, he learned. So he be-
came a clarinetist. And he
made the band.
Uniform: When. violinist
Albert Spalding embarked on
his musical career. he found
NAtc difacult to convince con-
certgoers that he was a
serious virtuoso. In their
minds. he was associated with
sports. as his father and
uncle had been the founders
of the sporting goods COM
spany. AG0t
One night before a concert,
he was introduced to a society
matron who could not place
him.
"Spalding, Spalding," she
murmured. Young man, I
simply cannot get used to you
in white tie and tails"
Would it help" asked the
violinist, 'if I came out in a
baseball uniform?"

but I don't even like to visit

ulouS insinuationS.

to call it. AS soon as she
came to work here she dyed
her hair blond and got q
lot Of sexy looking clothing.
Now when the male CUSTOM
ers come in they refuse to
let me wait on them. It's the
same with the salesman.
AS a result. I've gotten the
reputation Of being a crouch.
A house divided against itself
cannot stand is what ! always
say. In the long run this is
going to be harmful to the
business. She belongs home
with the kids.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
AS we get the picture, Lor-
raine is being fired because
she has handled her job too
well. Bert doesn't accuse her
Of unfaithfulness. He is
merely jealous of her power
as. a businesswoman. He
accuses her Of using sex
appeal to bolster this power.
Well, we doubt that this is
Lorraine's only appeal. An
attractive woman may draw
customers. but it takes more
than that to make sales and
create a steady following.
Bert would be a wise man
If he could recognize that his
wife is a valuable asset to this
business. He can be an excel
lent foil to his wife's attrac-
tons by playing the serious,
highly dependable role. It
could be an unbeatable COM
bination.
If Bert cannot come to
terms with himself, we think
1t might be best for Lorraine
to step out of the business.
The children will be better
off with less money and a
happier father.

WHY GROW OLD?
Housewife
Plans 700
Meals
By JOSEPHINE BOWMAN

Register and Tribune Syndicate
Most housewives must feel
that the thing people do the
most offs eat!
Their families devour
everything in sight like To-
Gusts. They barely finish one
meal before the woman in
the house has to rustic up
something for the next one.
This is especially true If
she Is feeding not only her
husband but also her chill
dren.
If a woman plans three
meals a day for the 365 days
in the year, she will have
thought up 1,095 menus.
OF course, 1t really isn't
quite this much because you
have to figure on meals eaten
away from home.
Then, too. breakfast
doesn't test the old brain or
the imagination because
most folks have their favorite
morning meal and eat the
same things over and over
again at that time.
Average Rate
However, If you count only
two meals a day the average
woman plans around TOO
meals a year.
For this reason it is easy
to see why she may pro-
crastinate about planning a
special diet for herself in
order to lose weight.
One of the very best rests
a housewife can have is a
vacation from meal planning
any type of meals. for any
one!
The whole thing becomes
very complex in her mind.
This is even true if she is in
terested in nutrition, in feed
ing her family scientifically
as well as pleasantly.
Her husband requires more
food than she does because
of his greater stature. The
children need food to grow
on and if she eats too many

Rome Uid SAS Know
ing that Saks of 18th Street
was going to include Fa-
biani designs in their store
during their August Fur
Sale I decided that
when in Rome do as the
Romans do and I went
down to this well known
design studio to see what
they dictate to the world
of fur fashion. Their super
duper distillation of present
and future fashion think
ing is expressed in the fine
furs that 1959-60 offers e.
and, even two at a time.
Many of the fur beauties
60 'two-faced' with detach-
able collars that become
evening capelets. The fav-
orite silhouette in coats
seems to be wide and soft
at the top sort OF a low
shoulder feeling and
collars or turn backs, that,
when turned up, bury you
deep in the lap of the little
fellow that sacrificed his
life to make you pretty and
warm. Was amazed to see
the fitted look skins
worked in horizontal or
chevron design and full
global sleeves. It's evident
that fashion in furs this
year is not too classic, not
too tricky but some
thing the discriminating
woman who watches her
fashion as we'll as her
pocketbook will appreciate.
I suggest that you too see
these exciting fashions that
be-speak everything that's
new right here in Wash
ington at Sak's. They're
serving coffee and tea. con-
tinentakStyle in their newly
decorated salon that
will put you in the relaxed,
luxurious mood of smart
