FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

FEE: Before he became a
Supreme Court Justice, jur-
ist Oliver Wendell Holmes
frequently gave lectures for
which he neither asked nor
received fees.
Then one day, when he
was i'll, he received an offer
Of $500 for a single lecture.
That's a lot of money"
commented a friend. Are
you too sick to accept it?"
IT should say not" said
Holmes. I'm too sick to re-
fuse it,"
GREETING: Eccentric pi-
mist Vladimir de Pachmann
watched over his hands with
a care that bordered on the
morbid.
One day, when he was
lunching in a restaurant, he
was introduced to a man
who had stopped to chat
with the pianist's table COM
panion. The man offered his
hand.
do you think I am crazy?"
cried de Pachmann, recoil-
ing. Il never shake hands"
With that, he got up from
his chair, leaned forward
and kissed the man on the
cheek.

One Girl Out of q Million

Deborah Valleys name for a
toothpaste commercial. Lots
Of girls wanted this work,
but Debbie got it. She was
paid $50 and a fee every time
the commercial is used.
Mr.. Harvey got her the
part Of an orphan in a TV
film called Route 66. 1t was
filmed in a Utah dust storm
and Debbie spent a week
getting the real estate out
of her hair.
She played another small
part in Naked City. Directors
began to call her the big
eyed kid to whom terrible
things happen. Her big eyes
looked sad; her little mouth
pouted.
One Of the many who saw
Naked City was Miss Joyce
Selznick Of Columbia Pic
lures. Last summer, she sent
for Deborah. then Columbia
sent for her. Miss Selznick
explained that the company
had made a picture, starring
Sandra Dee, called "Gidget,"
which is a combination Of
girl and midget. Miss Dee
had married Bobbie DARN
and the cameras needed a
new teen-ager.
Miss Valley was sent to
the coast for a screen test.
Other girls were there for
the same purpose. The COM
petition was sharp, but again
Debbie won. She was signed
for a Seven-year contract,
which pays $3.50 a week for
each working week and, at
the end of the contract, she
will be earning $500 a week.
WHILE HER HEAD was
still spinning, Columbia sent
her to Honolulu to star in a
sequel called "Gidget Goes
Hawaiian.
The young lady is always
scared blue inside, but she
moves ahead in an aura Of
tomboyish brazeness.
She thinks it will last for
ever, of course.

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: My

When he was younger he had
a nose injury. I was planning
to have plastic surgery to
straighten 1t out during his

tells me not to do it as it will

true?-Mrs. NJ, Michigan.
RIDICULOUS! Howe yer,
here is a tip. Don't rush into
the operation without the
advice of a highly recon-
mended plastic surgeon. He
may decide that your son is
too young for such an opera

such surgeons who refuse to
operate until the late teens
when the face is more fully
formed.

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I'm
bewildered. I just received a
letter from my daughter that
her 2-year-old son is 80
per cent mesomorph-like my
daughter and her husband.
But their 4-year-old son
is only 40 per cent meso-
morph. My daughter says
her husbands family are a
combination of mesomorphs
and endomorphs. What does
it all mean?-An Old-Fash-
ioned Grandma.
CHEER UP. The awe

eases of any kind. All Of us
are a mixture of these types

a mesomorphic individual is
one who is muscular and
stocky. He's well built and
probably athletically inclined.
