(By Paul Jenkins) momentarily is inattentive to her oats. Are ALL girls in noon grubline at the Dillard schoo in Dillard as pretty as these, did Titled Lady Who Knows Her Wolves That's Miss Margaret Phelan By Hal Boyle NEW YORK. UP) Demo cratic America has a passion lor conferring titles on pretty girls. One who has practically oeen nominated "Miss everything" is Margaret Phelan, an ex-choir sin ger and star songbird of the na tion's Supper clul circuit. So far Miss Phelan, a Texas Irish lass with dark red hair and eyes like fireflies, has been chosen: "The girl with the most perfect shoulders in the world" by the Artists League of America. "Miss Gung Ho" By the ma rine corps' First division. "One of the ten best tailored women in America" by the Cus tom Tailors guild. . Runnerup in the "ten best dressed women in America" by the Fashion academy. "Miss sharp look of 1949" by the Associated Cutlery industry. "One of the ten best non-professional dancers in America" by the Dance Educators of America. "Miss Ambassador of National Flower Week" by the American Society of Florists. , "The girl we'd most like to regi ment" by an army regiment. These honors rest lightly on Miss Phelan's beautiful shoulders, which unfortunately were cov ered by a throat-high green dress the afternoon I talked to her in the Peacock Alley at the. Wal dorf. (Incidentally, you see more quail in that alley than pea cocks.) "I thought that 'Miss Gung Ho" business topped them all," said Maggie. "I understand it's sort of a marine invasion cry." The title she herself feels she has most earned, however, is "Miss Wolf Expert." Her throaty soprano and intimate songs make many a lonely night club patron want to howl his woes Into her ears at a post-supper table for two. Margaret has found the average American wolf about as subtle In his approach as a circus parade or a horse on tiptoe. "Men are the same everywhere in or out of a night club," she said. "There are no unusual ap proaches. "Of coursce, some men say they want to put you in a moving pic tureor something. But that s not unusual." As a matter of policy, Miss Phelan turns down all invitations. She said the nicest man she never met was a fellow who heard her sing in Chicago and sent a bottle of champagne to her room. "And only a single glass came with the champagne," she laughed. She thinks it an odd coinci dence that the name Phelan it self originally meant "wolf." "In old Ireland the wolf was highly regarded and respected, too," she said, "something like the cow is today in India." Margaret is the daughter of Art Phelan, a former big league ball player. She studied to be an opera singer. In 1941 she married a young naval flyer. Three months later he was killed on a battle mission in the Pacific. The young widow came to Man hattan to.try to resume the career she had given up at her marriage. "I worked as a secretary and got a job in a church choir," she "?oswell Mineral Baths , .
