DUELING (Distributed by King Features Syndicate, Inc.) Thou, while thy babies around thee cling. Shall show us how divine a thing A woman may be made. Wordsworth. Daughters inherit the intelli gence and talents of their fa thers; sons of their mothers. So claims an heredity expert. Does this check with the situation at your house or with that of friends or relatives? Asides Women who smoke are much better bridge players than wom en who do not smoke. That's what an expert on the subject of bridge playing says. . . . "Why a five day week?" asks a New Englander. "Does not the Bible (Deuteronomy V:13) say: 'Six days thou shalt labor and do all thy work'?" Asking Queries from clients. Q. Do you think it fair to unmarried men that widows and divorcees continue to. wear wedding rings? Actually or legally they are not married women. As a bachelor, I find this situation confusing. A. I believe widows should con tinue to wear their wedding rings. That is a matter of senti ment. Whether a divorcee should continue to wear a wedding ring is wide open for discussion. Many people see no good reason for it. The problem could easily be solved by widows wearing their wedding rings on fingers other than the third of the left hand. Divorcees could wear es pecially designed "divorce rings." Horses and Women What are your wife's measure ments? Don't answer me. It is none of my business. However, you should know. You should also know her size for all arti cles of attire. Anyway, Jeanette de Vis, professionally known as Victorie, is Christian Dior's star model. Her measurements are: bust, 35; waist, 19V, and hips, jo. According to Monsieur Dior these are "the ideal propor tions." Sidelights Asked for advice by a young woman who was about to be married, Sara Teasdale said, "Always remember that no man worth possessing can be quite possessed." ... Do you wind your watch the last thing at night? That's bad. Watches should be wound the first thing in the morning. At night, the temperature is lowest. And low temperature has a bad effect on a tightly wound spring. Please Note Sixty thousand persons can attend services at the same time in St. Peter's cathedral in Rome. Worship at St. Peter's is practi cally continuous. It has 29 altars. . . .
