meet other men. 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.

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

potatoes and a tossed salad.
Remember when you're in an
economy mood to try that fav

Great Designer
Out of Business
By GAY PAULEY
United Press Correspondent
New York (U.R) A week in
Manhattan:
Valentina, one of the last of
the great international coutur
iers, announced th'; week she is
retiring temporarily. 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.
