Thursday, December 22, 1955
fleet the views of the sponsors
of my weekly pay check, who. op
timistically suggested I invite
Prince Rainier III over for a
home-cooked meal.
Prince Rainier, 32-year-old
ruler of the tiny principality of
Monaco, is the latest royal bach
elor to land on our soil. He will
spend two months traveling
around the United States. .
Regular Visits
Prince Christian of Hanover,
36-year-old brother of Queen
Frederika of Greece already was
here. He comes over for regular
visits to escort the town's pret
tiest models and society girls to
night clubs and theaters.
They are the kind of princes a
girl would be proud to take
home and introduce to the fam
ily. Prince Christian is tall, curly
haired and handsome enough
for a movie star. Prince Rainier
is shorter than his pictures indi
cate, a little on the stocky side,
but definitely better looking
than he needs to be "with all his
other qualifications.
But it is best to be honest
about the' average, American
girl's chances of marrying one
of them. Even meeting one of
them, as a'matter of fact.
Prince Christian moves in cafe
society circles when he visits.
And even the beauties in this set
haven't been able to snag him.
Only Princess Margaret's name
has been linked with his recent
ly as a possible wife. A" queen's
hrnthpr obviously has a lot of
international angles to consider
when he picks a wife.
No Hurry To Marry
Prince Rainier seems marriage-minded,
but those who
watched' the good - humored
prince when he answered report
ers Questions after he arrived
last Thursday came away with
a picture of a young man in no
hurry to take on a wife.'
'The prince demonstrated the
diplomatic evasiveness of bache
lors the world over. He said he
liked girls who look natural, not
elamor eirls. Yet he admittedly
liked Grace Kelly very much,
and in most American neighbor
hoods Miss Kelly is a glamor
girl. '
The prince belittled his own
qualities as a husband a polite
bachelor dodge by saying his
wife would have to have "many
qualities . . . because I'm a hor
rible character." He indicated
he thought an American wife
might be nice, but on the other
hand he said he wasn't looking
for a wife this trip.

As We Live
By ELIZABETH HU3LOCK, PH.D.
Being a Good Sport
Can Be Important
Although a boy treats a girl
like a sister, he may fall in love
with her. A tactful handling of
the situation
can turn the
trick.
(Q) "I am a
fres h m a n in
college and
have met a boy
I like very
much. We have
dated a lot all
during the fall
Dr. Herlock and I thought
he liked me as much as I like
him. The other day, he asked me
if I would put up in my room a
girl friend of his from his. home
town who is coming as his guest
for one' of the proms. I was so
shocked and taken by surprise,
I didn't know what to say. Does
he think I am stupid enough to
entertain his girl friend when I
thought he liked me or is he just
dumb?
"My friends think he has a lot
of nerve. They have advised me
to tell him I wouldn't think of
entertaining his. friend and to
drop him. He treats me more
like a sister than" a sweetheart
and now I wonder if he is in
love with his other girl or just
doesn't want' to get serious about
any girl at this time. He is a
freshman, too. What would you
advise me to do?' M. E. ,
(A) Be a good sport about this
and put up this girl as your
friend has asked you to do. He
will certainly arrange to have
you go to some of the weekend
functions and you could suggest
to him that he get someone to
take you to the prom so you
could have a foursome.
This boy may have asked his
girl friend from his home town
to come to the prom even before
he came to college or before he
met you. Having her as his guest
for a prom in his freshman year
may mean no more than that.
A Lot in Common
If you are a good sport he may
decide he likes you better. After
all, you and he have been going
together and have a lot in com
mon. This other girl may not
seem so glamorous to him when
he sees her again. Then he will
turn to you more than ever.
If, on the Other hand, you re
fused to have her stay with you,
he might readily interpret it as
petty jealouey on your part and
this could end your friendship
with him. I think you would be
very foolish to follow the advice
of your friends in this matter
until you are sure he likes her
more than he likes you. Boys
often fall in love with the girls
they treat as "sisters."

Gloria Swanson Finds Making of Movie
In Italy New,
TS ffT adt A OTir ikTcXT .
By GLORIA SWANSON
Written For United Press
Rome "My Son Nero," the
Italian movie in which,' I play
Nero's mama Agrippina, has at
last got under way.
To say that I am the most be
wildered person in Rome is an
under statement. It is my first
Italian film and it is in color
and cinemascope an all-round
new experience for me.
Nero is played by Albert Sordi,
a young Italian Bob Hope, so I
am told; Poppea, Nero's "girl
friend," by the French actress
Brigitte Bardot, and Seneca, the
philosopher, by Vittorio de Sica
of directorial as well as acting
fame.
Director Pint-Sized
"Steno" Stefano Vanzina, our
director, is a pint-sized man with,
I imagine, the patience of Job"
He knows only a few words of
English and the most used word
in his vocabulary is "patience."

Christmas Cards Serve
As Holiday Decorations;
Display Ideas Given
New York (U.R) Let those
Christmas cards serve also as.
Christmas decoration.
Fact of the . matter is, most
persons like to look at Christmas
cards received by others. That's
why it is a good idea to arrange
those you receive so they can be
seen. A .panelled screen makes
an excellent background, and if
you're handy with a brush, you
can sketch a garland of greenery
around the cards. : Intersperse
the display with clusters of
Christmas balls and pine cones.
Keep in mind that you will
want to add cards as they arrive,
so select a display area large
enough' to accommodate the
extras. Kaye King, card de
signer for one firm, uses this
trick to display those she re
ceives. She cuts a large sheet of
green oilcloth, in the shape of a
holly leaf, tacks it to the wall
and then pastes cards to it as
they arrive, in effect, it makes
a large holiday bulletin board.
With the addition of a large
ribbon bow, you can fix the
cards to a large, hollow circle
cut from cardboard, and create
a wreath for wall, mirror or
panel. Wrap the cardboard in
red or green crepe paper.
Display cards by fastening
them to lengths of wide ribbon
suspended from the top of a
wall or around a wide doorway
or arch; pin them to draperies
around a central window; tie or
paste them to the 'outside of a
stairway to give them promi
nence in an entrance hall.

added that this does not apply to
the movie industry. The first

and one-half hours sleep.
I Had to be ready to face ths
cameras again at 9:30 a.m. (If
Nero's mama looks bleary-eyed
and dug-up, you'll know why).
Neither Nero nor Poppea speaks
English. So none of us knows
what the other is saying.
You can just imagine the prob
lems this presents to the actors.
And even more strange is the
fact that the Italian actors are
inclined to ad lib, making up
their own dialogue as they go
along!
All in all, Nero's American
mother is having a heck of a
time holding her own but it's
fun! And I love them.
