Why she sud denly started to go out with this kid of 26, I'll never understand. I warned her against it from the start. My sister thinks she look," no older than the boy. That may be true now, but what about ten years from now Then he'll start iooking at 18-year-old girls and she'll be ready for the scrap heap. She'.s headed for a second tragedy! ' Dianna M. I know my sister is right in what she says, but I can't help it. I am very mugh in love with this young man and must marry him. Even if I have only a few years of happiness with him, it will be worth it. I didn't look for a situation like this. The only reason 1 was friendly with this young man is that I took it for granted there could be nothing between us be cause of the age difference. I wiui bowled over when he asked me to marry him and now I find I care for him too much to pass up this opportunity. The Council: Mrs. J. M. is too overbearing and treats Dianna like a helpless baby a role Di anna appears to like too well. "I know my sister is right, but I can't help it," says Dianna. In this way she disclaims all responsibility for her actions. She lets her sister think for her and then proceed; to disobey her. She doesn't act her age and per haps this is why she prefers the company of a younger man. A marriage with this age dif ference is not doomed to failure, regardless of Mrs. J. M.'s very set opinions. Such a marriage, however, requires considerable clear-sighedness. The woman entering it should do o 'with a full knowledge of the risks and problems involved, but with the same courage and optimism it takes to make a success of any marriage. Dianna admits that she became friendly with the young man just because she was sure it would lead to nothing The two impulses that guided her were fear of a second marriage and the desire for a man's compan ioiyhip. She has not overcome the fear at all and is now con templating a panicky plunge. Since she appears to- deeply want a second marriage, Dianna should try to get a grip on her fears and stop being childishly dependent on her sister's opin- ior-, recriminations and proph ecies. She should try to get to know other men and consider carefully the possibility that she might be happier with someone closer to her own age. She should not take the step to the altar with this young man at th'.s time, not because she is too old, but because she is too immature. (Copyright 1956, General Features Corp.)

Win Wisdom A little left-over wine can add zest to next day's soup. White wine blends beautifully with frozen cream of shrimp or with bouillon; sherry gives that "something" to frozen cream of potato soup or consomme; red wine lifts Scotch broth or vege table soup to new heights. Try using a liver pate' when stuffing a roast chicken. Set the oven temperature control of your range at the usual 375 de grees and roast. Serve with tiny onior.-; and green peas, mashed potatoes and a tossed salad. Remember when you're in an economy mood to try that fav orite scalloped-potatoes-and-ham casserole. Should you be with out ham then substitute brown-and-serve sausage (straight from the package) instead. An omelet tastes twice as good when surrounded by mushrooms broiled in lemon butter (heat the canned ones) alternately ar ranged with finger-shaped po tato croquettes.

She said the major reason was weariness. The Russian-born designer, who resemble;; Greta Garbo, one of her famous customers, has had her shop and workrooms in Manhattan for 28 years. Her husband, Georce Schlee, president of the firm, faid Valen tina might one day return to work but never again as a couturier-designing only for the in dividual customer. He said she Sunday. October 7. 1956 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NINE was considering ultimately do ing a collection for a wholesaler, something fhe never has done. Or, she might try her hand at industrial design. "She's just tired . . . she is not ill," said Schlee. "It's jr.-t that we all get older . . . she's not as strong as she used to be. And this shop is hard work." Mr. Schlee said the salon would close at the end of Oct ober and that virtually all em ployees, many of whom have been with the designer since she started, had been placed e'ewhere. Valentina is best known for elegant clothes with timeless lines. Her customers, many of them perennials on best dre.ssed lists, happily shuck "out SI. 000 to $2,000 for a dress. Her clothes have been worn on and off stage by such ,-tari as Lynne Fontan ne, Lillian Gish, Katharine Cor nell, Lily Pons and Katharine Hepburn. She coined the quote, "Mink is for football," and in a recent United Press Interview one of her rare meetings with a re porter said her one rule of dress wa.s, "know thyself." "Ponselle retired while she was at the top in opera," said her husband. "Valentina would rather quit while she too is at the height." t Only about one two-billionth part of the energy radiated by the sun actually reaches the sur face of the earth. Na-ar Book Suggestions for achieving an attractive appearance are given in Mildred Ryan's new book, "Dress Smartly," which has been added to the Medford Pub lic Library. The guide provides information about line, shape, color and texture and tells how to combine the.se factors to fit requirements of build, person ality and coloring. If water glasses (tumblers) ac cidentally stick together, don't force them apart, advises the Gas Appliance Manufacturers association. Just put the cuter glass in hot water nd fill the inner glass with cci water to loosen them. LUC SOT A KY FIVE?
