Mrs. Titus Believes
In Little 'Girl Talk'
By GAY PAULEY
UPI Women's Editor
NEW YORK i CPU Mrs.
Martha Titus, a 35-year-old house
wife, believes a little "girl talk"
can go a long way toward better
ing our relations with the Rus
sians. "We've tried the diplomat to
diplomat and people to people
approach," she said. "Why not
refine things even further and
try woman to woman?'
In effect, this will be her job
for six weeks at the United States
exhibition opening in Moscow,
July 25. But already she has run
into, the first Soviet "nyet."
The Huntington, W. Va. woman
is the "typical nomemaker" who
will help to demonstrate to Soviet
women home-sewing, U. S. style.

Mack Sennett
NamesComedians
HOLLYWOOD (CPI) Mack
Sennett, who taught Hollywood
how to be funny, says Jacques
Tati and Shirley MacLaine arc
Iho best comedians in the movie
business.
Sennett, 78, who introduced
slapstick and bathing beauties to
films, said: "Tati is the greatest
pantomimist since the three I
consider the best Charlie Chap
lin,' Stan Laurel and W. C.
Fields, .yhirlcy is the greatest
comedienne since Mablc Nor
mand and Marie Dressier, and
good comediennes are a scarce
as "hen's teeth."
Sennett, whose Keystone Cops
once convulsed the nation, nam
ed his other favorite comedians
of -today: Danny Kaye, Jack
Benny, Boh Hope, Joe E. Brown,
Lucille Ball. Gale Storm. Red
Buttons. Cantinflas and Grade
Fields.
"They all born comedians."
he said. "There are no other
kind. You can't say 'I'm gonna
be funny' if you're not."
ing the bill for her trip, said she
was representative of the 40 mil
lion American women who do
some or all of their own family's
clothes-making.
Originally, Mrs. Titus and four
professionals two from McCall's
and two from Singer planned to
fit clothes to the Russian women
who visited the exhibit.
Russian Refusal
The pattern company said that
the Russians refused to let its
women participate in such a dem
onstration. A letter last week from
the U.S. State Department telling
of the refusal did not explain the
reasons.
But at least, Russian women
will be able to sec an American
sewing machine perform, watch
as Mrs. Titus cuts and fits clothes
to any American women the com
pany can locate in Moscow, leaf
through catalogs showing the lat
est styles availuhle to the home
seamstress, inspect some of Mrs
Titus handiwork on garment
racks, and talk to the demon
strators.
Mrs. lit us is the wile of a
dentist and has two children, a
girl, five, and a boy, two. She
makes most of her own clothes
and those of her daughter and
figured she was selected for the
Moscow trip for a couple of
reasons.
"They wanted someone whose
husband's income was average. . .
ours is that all right. And Mc
Call's knew about mc from the
Congress of Better Living. I was
a delegate for two years."
(The annual congress in Wash
ington gathers a batch of house
wives who air their grilles and
.suggestions in the home-building
and furnishings fields.)
Reading Up On Russian
To prepare for her first trip
abroad ("I've never been west of
Ohio or cast of New York be
fore"), Mrs. Titus has been read
ing up on Russian history and
customs, cooking borscht for the
family, and listening to Russian
language records.
'JSo gues4 who's the best lin
gufst in the house?" she said
"My daughter, Ansley. . . she's a
bopi parrot.
The housewife will travel with
a summer-weight wardrobe, most
of which she made, and with
eight fall costumes the Pattern
company made for her. She also
will travel with several cartons
of chewing gum.
"I read that the Russian chil
dren clamor for gum," she said

ANN LANDERS,
Answers Your Problems
Dear Ann: Our son was engag
ed to a girl we all liked. The
dat- was set, she had her picture
in the paper and they bought
furniture together. Severed rel
atives gave her silverware and
dishes and there was even a
money shower.
A week before the wedding,
the girl told my son her family
could not stand him and she had
to choose between him and
them. Well, she chose her par
ents. The girl's mother took charge
of everything. She divided the
furniture which our son helped
I ay for. He asked about the
silverware and other expensive
gifts. The girl's mother said 'It
all belongs to Mildred." She also
said the woman who gave the
money shower Is supposed to re
turn the money to the guests.
We don't know what the rules
ore. and we wish you'd tell us.
V'e are all so embarrassed we
can't hold our heads up. P. H.
Dear P. H.: When a wedding
is called off the gifts should
be returned. It's a whale of a
job, but it's the only thing to
do. I don't know how money
showers work, but if the bride-to-be
received the money in se
parate envelopes, with the
name of the giver, then she
should return the money, pro
vided she still has the enve
lopes. This is not the respon
sibility of the woman who gave
the shower. Of course this is
Shortcake And Hot Coffee
For Strawberry Festivities

WHAT could bo more fun than
an old-fashioned Strawberry
Festival? On a warm, early-summer
weekend, when the first roses
aro budding, the church lawn Is
spread with long tables bedecked
with fresh, awcet strawberries,
served a dozen delicious ways.
And (he most popular table of all
is the one w-here homemade straw
berry shortcake and fragrant bot
coffee are served.
One of the very best shortcake
recipes to come along is easily
adapted to the community festival
or the Sunday dinner at home.
The light-textured biscuits are
quickly made from a biscuit mix
and filled with sweetened straw
berries while they're still hot
from the oven. After each portion
is generously smothered in whip
ped cream, there's only one thins
left to do. Pour a cup of sfaming
coffee to po with each serving of
luscious shortcake. Aftc-r all, hot

it's better
Dear Ann: This will probably
stop you. Wc bought a big old
house and renovated it complete
ly inside. Wc expect to attack
the outside as soon as we move
in.
The people who live next door
to our place are real slobs. They
have an old car on their lawn
with fenders and wheels strewn
all over the lot. Their grass
grows wild and the bushes are
unbelievable. It would be an
ideal location to shoot a Tarzan
tilm. The Mrs. hangs her laundry
in the front yard when she could
just as well hang it in the back.

hints? M. T. D.
Dear M.T.D.: The best way
to have a good neighbor Is to be
one. Start off by being pleas
ant. Don't criticize, scold, be
rate or even offer a suggestion
until you get to know the peo
ple. Almost everyone (even
slobs) respond well to gentle
ness. Ifs usually ignorance,
not cussedness, that makes peo
ple poor neighbors. If you win
their confidence and friendship
you can go on from there and
show them how to enhance
their property (and yours) by
taking care of it.
