Lady Sylvia recently said, "My marriage to Douglas Fairbanks was perfect. He was ideal, gay, intelligent and charming. My other hus bands? It would not be digni fied to discuss them." Asking Queries from clients. Q. Who first said George Washington was first in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen"? A. Colonel Hen ry (Light Horse Harry) Lee. Q. I claim William Farnum played the title role in the original stage production of Ben Hur and W. S. Hart portrayed Messala. Right? A. You are only 50 per cent right, sir. When "Ben Hur" opened at the Broadway Thea ter, New York, on Nov. 29,1899, Edward J. Morgan played Ben Hur and W. S. Hart played Mes sala. The same W. S. Hart, who later achieved fame as the "Two Gun Man" of the films. Among Ihe Married ' To keep a husband happy a wife must "continually vamp and mother him." So. claims an ex pert on life among the married. Keep it in mind, lady. When you get your husband alone start to vamp him. Turn the charm on. Feature provocative perfumes, plunging necklines, etc. Make goo-goo eyes at him. However, don't forget to mother him. At breakfast is a good time for that. Tickle him tenderly under the "chin and say, "Does Mama's cute itsy-bitsy boy want some more 'rream in his coffee, does him?" Let us know if following this technique makes your husband lappy or inspires him to think you have gone off your rocker. CWe would like the information for our Horses & Women files.

Shocked Grandpa Pittsburgher reports that on a recent visit to his house his two grandchildren, aged 3 and 6, re spectively (both girls), proudly displayed new miniature hand bags. In these handbags, he re ports were miniature lipsticks, rouge and powder puffs. He com ments, "Isn't 3 years old a little young for a girl to start using lipstick or am I too old fash ioned?" Horse and Women ., What are the ideal measure ments for that type of female referred to as "a sultry charm er"? The Italians seem to prefer their sultry charmers tall and generously proportioned. That is, except for the waist measure ment, which is fixed at twenty three inches. A major factor in making a charmer sultry is said to be a small waist and an ample bosom. The measurements of one of Italy's outstanding sultry charmers, Sofia Loren, are, height, 5 feet 8; weight 129; bust, 37; waist, 23 and hips, 38. Brooklyn Again Once again Br6oklyn tops the country!

Vatican City (U.R) Pope Pius XII developed a slight fever to day from week end overwork. 'Authoritative Vatican sources said the Pope was tired. They said his doctors had forbidden him to return to the desk where he had been sitting up, working on church papers. These sources emphasized there was no cause for alarm, noting that his temperature has been erratic ever since his col lapse 11 days ago. The Pope's development of a temperature after what the Vati can called, a "very good night" indicated the frail pontiff is still weak, despite his progress. His doctors told him he must get more rest because his illness tends to recur when he over exerts himself. Bridge a! Nyssa Opened To Traffic Ontario, Ore.
