Ques (ons like: "Why, when Mama is currying around getting ready or guests, does Papa always de ide he has to clean his guns r straighten out his fishing ackle box?" J Well, ladies, here's why ac ording to the men. i "It's simple. With Mama work bg so bard,, we . .want , to look vsy, too," says one husband, ; "What better excuse can we ise for showing off a gun or tshing gear to the guests than hat we've had it out getting it a order?" answers another. I "When the little woman is mak- pg a mountainous job out of laving a few guests over for din- ter, a man knows he can get out If, the confusion by hiding in the le'n if he can just look busy poling around with his sports xjuipment, explains another. j "Besides, he adds, "when a yoman is rushing around like iazy it's mighty peaceful to told a fishing rod in your hand aid remember the peace and juiet of your favorite fishing pot" r Well, there are three good rea ens at least from a masculine Mint of view. Now for another question the nen have been good enough to inswer: "How can a man walk rito his own living room and not tven notice new curtains or a tew slipcover?" "Some wives change things pound so often a man never luite catches up," explains one lusband. "If wives would just give us 1 little while to relax before .hey accuse us of not noticing tomething we would probably let around to noticing," says mother. "If a husband is never lked to help choose the furnish tags of his home he doesn't act tally have much interest in them," is another husband's ex planation. Besides," he goes on, "if poor husband notices and says, Those new blue curtains look nice,' his wife is sure to correct him with Those aren't blue, they're aqua' or whatever it that looks like blue to a man but some other color to a woman.' But the kindest answers of all to this question came from husband who said: "When I get home I'm so glad to see my wife just look at HER. That's an answer that ought to satisfy all women everywhere. lis1 Observer, La Grande, Ore., Sat., Aug. 1, 1959 Page 3 Woman's World MAXIXE NURMI, Woman's Editor Mormons Will Break Ground For Modern Chapel In London REV.

I love him and he loves me. Someone told his wife and she phoned me. I denied every thing. That same evening my sweetheart came to see me. He said I had persuaded her com pletely and she thinks the gossip was just a vicious rumor. That night I told him if he wanted to stay with his wife he'd have to leave me strictly alone. He swore he didn't love her, but claimed he couldn't leave his kids. I said "O.K. that settles it. Now get last and don't ever call me again, This past week he phoned five times. I've slammed down the re ceiver, but he calls back. He says he loves me and is going crazy. I love him too but I know now it's hopeless. A terrible struggle is going on inside me and I can't afford to lose the battle. What can I do? Fighting It Dear Fighting: Sam tired plot just different players. Mar ried man, no intention of leaving his family, fiddling around, but hates to get out of the orches tra. The next time he calls, tell him if he phones you again you'll pay his wife visit and ask her what to do. This is a mighty strong threat but since you're fighting hard to build a new life and he insists on making it rough, use th heaviest ammuni tion available. And keep your word if he bothers you again. Dear Ann: You said the readers were aginst you 50 to 1 on the ducktail haircut for teenage boys Well, make it 50 to 2. I'm on your side. The fresh punk who bragged about getting six haircuts a year and considers himself "a perfect gentleman" betrayed himself when he made such rude comments as "your eyeballs need cleaning. Annie" and "Old umpires need glasses." He also made the smart alec remark that "a corny high school principal isn't an authority on hair because most high school principals haven't any."

Dear Ann: There's a difference of opinion on how this problem should be handled. My cousin insists on bringing her 9-year-old daughter to all grown up functions hotel dinners, wed dings, showers, parties of all kinds The girl butts into conversations and takes right over. Many adults resent it. I hinted strongly to my cousin that a 9-year-old doesn't belong at these affairs and the reply was "1 want her to learn to be a lady so I take her places where she can practice. The child has no friends her age and is considered obnoxious by adults. What should be done? C.M.N. Dear C.M.N.: Of court this child doesn't belong at adult affairs and it's sad that she's dragged along. Furthermore it's unfair to th hostess and th guests. Sine th mother hasn't sens enough to understand this, the women in th group when inviting her should tack on an extra sentence. Sample: "This party for adults. There won't be any children present for Hya cinth to visit with, so I hope you will not bring her along this time." 12 Churches Will Get New Ministers PORTLAND (I'PIt Elder Lloyd E.

Saint-Laurent's sartorial bomb shell made present styles as flat as champagne that has stood three days His new styles were an audacious bid to boost the Mouse of Dior's 15 million dollar a year sales. Half of the hemlines Saint- Laurent showed for daytime wear and most of them for evening bared half the kneecap. Some bared the entire kneecap; some nearly covered it. A green- satin Dior evening dress called 'metamorphosis" had a nip-nugging flounced sirton on its hemline so high that you saw Portland Sorority Hosts Convention Portland chapters of the Epsilon Sigma Alpha were hostesses re cently for the 12th annual ESA International Convention.

Not since Saint-Laurent's great predecessor, the late Christian Dior, launched his almost ankle length new look in 1947 has the House of Dior so rocked the fash ion world. Actress Audrey Hepburn, who caught the Coco Chanel show Wednesday, was at ringside. She said enthusiastically, "I'm all for short skirts even to the kneecap if you've got the right legs." Saint-Laurent left bust, waist and hips the way nature made them, concentrating all his atten tion at the top of the kneecap. All eyes were on the daringly short skirts that were tiered, gath ered or flounced with one thing in mind: To make women drastical ly shorten their skirts. Saint-Laurent pulled out all the stops with his evening collection. Even evening skirts that were floor-length behind were slit up in front to almost kneecap level. Emphasis On Skirt Sometimes the four-inch band that circled the top of the short hemline was only a foot in diameter. The Dior skirt, which Saint- Laurent insisted was the secret of his new line, fell either straight from the waist or from the shoul ders, or it belled out over under pinning at the hips. But whether straight or bell shaped, it always was flounced, tiered or gathered low on the hemline to dramatize the new length. Suits in mohairs and plaids had natural shoulders and were worn with fur toque hats and large ear rings. Jackets were short, unlike all the other shows in Paris. Some were belted or loose-fitting. The suit skirts ranged in hem lengths from above to below the kneecap. Nebraska Picnic Set At Portland The annual Nebraska picnic will be held Aug. 9, at Janzen Beach Park, Portland.
