On The Side
By E. V. Durling
(Distributed by King Faarurea Syndicate. Inc.)
What have you had to say over
the telephone recently? Anything
you wouldn't want your wife to
hear? Or something that might
be embarrassing if repeated in
public by means of a recording?
The use of hidden recording
gadgets continues to increase.
Those for recording telephone
conversations are quite common.
I recently heard of a house party
hostess who had recording ma
chines hidden all over the place
to pick up conversations of her
guests without their knowledge.
She said it was for laughs but I
view that claim with suspicion.
Anyway, recording machines'are
hidden in automobiles, offices,
restaurants, night clubs and in
homes. The situation has reached
a point where anything you wish
to be kept secret should be con
veyed by the sign language. May
I suggest that you keep the fol
lowing quotation always in
mind:
If for a tranquil mind you
seek.
These things observe with
care.
Of whom you speak, to whom
you speak
And how and when and where.
INFORMATION
So you say you're a well in
formed fellow? All right, the
United States has had two bach
elor presidents. James Buchan
an was one. Who was the other?
Also, tell us quick as quarter
of a flash who followed Buchan
an as president of the U. S. A.
PLEASE NOTE
If that qallant thoroughbred
Nashua could talk he would
puo..by address Mr. Leslie
Combs, his timid manager, some-'-'-"t
as follows: "Why humili
te mt by Intimating I cannot
carry over 130 pounds to vic
tory? Discovery won the Brook
lyn Handicap carrying 136
pounds. Tom Fool won it pack
ing the same weight. Why, even
Assault won it carrying 132
pounds. Were they better race
horses than I am? I don't think
so! Mr. Combs, you have made
a sissy out of me and for that
I will never forgive you!"
AMONG THE MARRIED
Were you a June bridegroom?
Do you know why June is so
popular as a period in which to
effect a matrimonial alliance?
It is named after Juno, known
as the "patroness of happy mar
riages." March is unpopular for
weddings because it is named
after Mars, the God of war. The
thought, of course, is that those
married in March might quarrel
too much. My girl friend and I
were married on March first.
We do not deny that we occasion
ally have disagreements. How
ever, we are in accord with
Tennyson"! view of the matter,
namely:
Blessings on the falling out
That all the more endears,
When we fall out with those
we love
And kiss again with tears!
ASKING
Queries from clients. Q. What
is the world's record for low
weight at birth for an infant
who survived to become an
adult? A. Couldn't say. How
ever it might be held by Mar
ian Chapman of Great Britain,
who at birth in 1938 weighed
only 10 ounces. She survived
and is now a healthy adult and
taller than her mother. Q. My
husband claims an undertaker
once participated in the 'Mrs.
America" contest but he can't
think of her name. Help, please.
A. Mrs. Joan Bray of Niles City,
Mont., who was "Mrs. Montana"
in the 1955 contest is an under
taker in her home town.
HORSES AND WOMEN
How many evening gowns did
your wife buy last year? How
about cocktail dresses? What
does she do with her cast-off
clothes? Do you consider her
extravagant? Don't tell me, it is
none of my business. However,
your matrimonial mate might be
interested in the following state
ment made by Cyd Charisse, the
determinedly glamorous film
performer: "I am not extrava
gant. It would have to be a very
special party before I would pay
S630 for a new dress. I prob
ably buy a couple of dozen eve
ning gowns, 12 cocktail dresses
and a few suits every year. I
always get rid of the old ones
for charity auctions or give them
to my maid or relatives."

In complete confidence. '
MRS. P. R. S. I'm afraid
of this triangle.
JANE I lost nothing but
a generous escort.
MRS. P. R. S. My youngest
daughter, Jane, had a hectic ro
mance with a young man who
subsequently became interested
in my older daughter, Francine,
whom he is now engaged to
marry.
I fear greatly that there may
be trouble in the future because
there were some rather trying
rows between Jane and Fran
cine over this young man. I
have suggested to Francine that
she should have a quiet wed
ding and arrange to live in an
other town so that Jane and
she will not be in the same
circle until the marriage is well
established.
Francine makes light of my
fears, and even talked to Jane
about them, and Jane, too, pre
tended to make light of them.
But I have a presentiment of
trouble in the future unless Jane
is completely fulfilled by love
and marriage.
FRANCINE I have often
quarrelled noisily with my sis
ter and have always loved her.
I am grateful to Jane for hav
ing found my sweetheart for me.
Jane is a very lively and at
tractive girl and he fell hard for
her, but she was never really
in love with him. She was nat
urally highly flattered to be pur
sued by an older man of his
standing and charm, but she
really did not want him except
as a convenient and flattering
escort. They quarrelled almost
every time they went out.
I met him through Jane and
have loved him from the start.
He realizes fully that while
Jane is a very loveable girl, she
was not for him, and I feel en
tirely assured of his abiding
love. I think it would disturb
all of us if Jane were obviously
withdrawing from our midst,
and I would even feel insecure
JANE My mother's anxiety
makes no sense to me. She can't
get it into her head that I am
no ideal young lady, that I went
after him because I thought he
would be fun to go out with,
and that I never had any serious
thoughts about him. His ardor
ceased as soon as he met my
sister, and I have never' really
resented her attraction for him.
except that I was selfish and
petulant because I was put out
by the loss of a generous and
handsome escort.
I am perhaps a little common
er than mother sometimes thinks
me, but not as scheming and
base as she thinks me when she
is in an anxious mood.
THE' COUNCIL The . whole
some attitudes of the two girls,
which include love for each oth
er and realistic self-appraisal,
should minimize the mother's
fears. The very fact that Fran
cine discussed this question with
Jane shows that they have a
good relationship.
A girl who can be as honest
about herself and her motiva
tions as Jane is probably head
ed soon, for a good marriage. It
is when people deceive them
selves that they present the
greatest danger in such delicate
situations.
