] can't sing a cracked note,
but I tried one chorus of THE
Last Roundup" When 1
finished shaving, I saw she
was in tears. I didn't realize
that one SO young would un-
derStand that the cowboy in
the song had died.
We loved dogs and horses
and music and, until she got
too big for me, we went
everywhere together. When
the first date arrived, in
thick lenses and a twenty dol
lar car, to take her to a
matinee movie, I knew that
I was through. My time was
over. Hers had begun.
In Teaneck High School,
Ginny studied journalism
and put it to practical use.
At the age of IT, she wrote
her first and only book-a
biography of Father Duffy of
the Fighting 69th. I helped
a little, but she did all the
drudgery. She still gets small
royalty checks from it.
A big red-headed kid with
a rich smile began to show up
in the evenings. His name
was Charles Frechette and,
somehow Elinor and I knew
from the start that this was
to be the man in Virginia
Lees life. He was studying
truck management course
I never heard of-and, the
more I sat and talked to
Charlie, the happier I be-
came.
1T REQUIRED no courage
on my part to stand in church
and place her hand in his.
They belonged to each other.
After a year in an apart
ment they bought a house
in Lincroft, New Jersey.
Both of them love children, so
they now have a flying start
on a personal orphanage.
The Frechettes are as happy
as any couple has a right
to be.

Happy Dad, Happy Daughter

This is Virginia Lees birth
day. She is %, the mother of
three babies. She is a we'll
built girl with thick dark
brown hair cut close to her
head, brown almost spiritual
eyes. and the prettiest face
I've seen. She is a sentiment
alist. a saver of old pictures
and souvenirs, a kisSer and a
hugger who is genuinely glad
when someone else gets the
pot of gold.
Her fourth baby will be
born soon. She has twin
daughters, % months of age,
and a boy, IL months old.
AS my younger daughter
Gail is the wit and the
sparkle and the fun in my
life. so Ginny is the heart
and the soul of it. I can see
you nodding wisely, thinking
of your children, and mur-
muring: "I know what you
mean" That is the reason
why I write about mine-so
that, in them, you will see
yours a little more clearly.
VIRGINIA LEE was born
in Leesburg, Va. while her
mother and I were on vaca-
ton. She wasn't expected for
at least a month.
l was her favorite, I guess,
from the beginning. And she
was mine. I had a work
bench in the cellar and she
would sit on it by the hour
on Saturdays and Sundays
while I tried to repair what
ever was broken around the
house. AT the age of three.
she knew every tool in the
chest and could get them for
me almost as fast as I could
call the words.
When she was four, she
told me in confidence that,
when she grew up, she was
going to marry Gene Autry
and live on a horse ranch
out west. 1t was a solemn
secret and I kept it for a
long time. Another time,
when I was shaving, she ask

mussen, who married into
the Rockefeller family.
AS for Susan, we don't
think she ought to be too
hasty in her decision. If she
dislikes Peter for reasons of
personality or character, of
course she is right to turn
him down. But if she is
rejecting him out of fear, she
may be making a mistake.
In any case, Mrs. L. F.
should not apply pressure. 1t
is essential that Susan make
this decision out of her own
mind and feelings. If she
doesn't, the marriage doesn't
have a good chance of sue
cess-no matter how much
money is involved.

DEAR ABBY: I have a
beautiful wife and daughter
who look alike and they are
beginning to act alike. My
wife refuses to wear a slip
and my daughter. who is is,
does just what her mother
does.
Sometimes it is all right
because their outer clothes
are heavy enough, but when
they wear thin dresses you
can see right through. We
have had several arguments
about this. The wife says that
very few sophisticated women
wear slips. And the daughter
says none of her friends wear
them. With summer here, l
am getting nervous again.
Maybe I am old-fashioned,
but ! wish you'd set me

We know that daughters
are expected to bring home

can meet them. But is this
true of sons? I keep telling

be suspicious of girls who
have as much freedom and as
little supervision as these
young ladies (?) appear to
have.

Love is much more impor-

Peter is very nice but

THE COUNCILS VIEW
When a girl turns down a
rich man to marry a poor
one, it is assumed by cynics
that she's a fool and by
romantics that love has
triumphed. Yet neither is
necessarily true.
The fact is that being
wealthy or moving in high

many young women. If there
is a difference in educational

Put at $4,000

A two-alarm fire which broke
out in the rear of a shirt
making shop at 1109 I street

estimated $4,000 to $4,000
