Phoebe Cary (Husband who inspired above probably failed to ob serve what women refer to as "those little attentions." That is usually what is wrong when a mystified husband says to his wife: "What's the matter, honey?" And she answers: "Oh, nothing." I have asked our "Horses and Women" ex perts to assemble some helpful hints for husbands under the title, "Those- Little Atten tions," which might be of as sistance in keeping some of out subscribers out of the dog house.) In Paraguay introductions are unnecessary. If a man is at tracted "by a passing; green-gray-eyed blonde or a blue-eyed brun ette he approaches her and asks: "Have you a husband or sweet heart?" The woman takes no of fense at this and if not interest ed answers "Yes." The man then bows and withdraws. However, if the young woman is interested she says: "I have neither sweet heart nor husband. What is your proposition?" Whether or not that system would work well in this country is problematical. Still, if the rules were followed, it might be the beginning of many a beautiful friendship. Sidelights The Germans are undersell ing the British in the world markets. That was one of the major factors in bringing about World War I . . . Sharpness of safety razor blades is decreasing. Even the blades made in Brook lyn are not what they used to be , . . Once more note it said, "A great baseball player never makes a good manager." What a nonsensical, uninformed obser vation! Frank Chance, John Mc Graw, Hughey Jennings and Fielder Jones were all great players, and great managers. And what's wrong with Lou Boud reau? . Passing By Robert Stolz. Amiable man of music. Composer of one of my favorite tunes, namely, "Two Hearts That Beat, In Three Quar ter Time" , . . Joan Brandon. Beautiful blonde magipian and hypnotist. Joan hypnotizes men. Under her spell she makes them do foolish things. However, she says it is impossible to hypnotize a man against his will. He must cooperate. Yet there are experts on the subjest who say people can be hypnotized without their cooperation. In fact, one Danish hypnotist is said to have proved it. Young Old Timer You don't have to remember George M. Cohan in "Little Johnny Jones'' or Hazel Dawn in "The Pink Lady" to be a young old timer. Do you recall in what musical show the song hit, "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes," was introduced and who sang it? And how long'ago? The show was "Roberta." Tamara introduced the song mentioned, in the cast were Bob Hope, Sid ney Greenstreet, Fred MacMur ray and- Fay Templeton. I an swered that one for you. Now, if you claim Y.O.T. eligibility, tell me how long ago the stage play "Dinner at Eight" was a Broad way hit, and who was in the cast? Also the same details as to the smash hit titled "Design For Living." , Asking Queries from " clients. Q. Where in New York City was Paradise Alley, locale of -the old song, "The Sunshine of Par adise Alley?" A. The ' Paradise Alley that inspired the song was in Philadelphia.

Asides , Am asked how many times Sophie Tucker has been married and how old Gary Cooper is. Sophie has been married three times, first time at 16. Mr. Cooper is 51 but certainly does not look it'. . . The name Doro thy means "heavenly gift." Lor etta means "wise one." Philip, "a lover of horses." William is1 the most popular male name, Catherine tops for females. So it is reported in that interesting work "A Thousand Ways to Name a Baby." Please Note In Uruguay the law is that a working mother must give up her job for a month before her child's birth and rest for a month after. Her position is held for her. She is given half pay for the period. It is also a law in Uruguay that every employed woman must work seated. No standing up on the job allowed for females.
