The career girl role ap pears to be a pretty steady one for the only daughter Gay Pauley of Lewis Douglas, former am bassador to the Court of St. James. The 28-year-old Miss Douglas said she had no immediate plans for marriage; doesn't even have a steady boy friend. She also said she didn't know of any marital plan her old friend, the 26-year-old princess, might have. "And if I did, I wouldn't talk about them. The princess and. queen are friends of mine and I don't talk about my friends." Well, that was that, so far as gossip about the royal family was concerned. Back to her new life, minus the old-time limelight. "I want it clear that I am a working girl," she said. "I'm serious abput my job," indicat ing that some people hasn't been taking her seriously.

Felix M. But I'm not ready to be engaged. Dianna F. Does he have the right to walk out? - Felix M. I am 21 and a col- leee senior. I have been going out. steadily with a girl of 20 for nearly a year. Recently, we got to the stage of doing some heavy petting. I didn't mean anything serious by it, so imagine my surprise when I learned I was engaged! I always considered Dianna a real swell person and I never thought she would pull any thing like that on me. One morn ing when I called her on the telephone, she just told me she had spoken to her folks and that everything was okay. I didn't even know what she was talking about until I reached her home and her parents wel comed me as a prospective son-in-law. I didn't say anything, but took Dianna outside and asked her what was the big idea. She said she assumed I "meant it" when I made love to her. I told her I meant it, all right, but not in that way and she must tell her folks the whole thing is off. She cried so much I didn't have during this demonstration! Friday. April 5. 1957 Girl Role made film, "Battle Hell." "Now, I'll see my own coun try" she said. Miss Douglas has spent most of her grown-up years in England four of them while her father was ambassador from 1946 to 1950. She has re turned for extended visits since. This is not her first job, for a year she was on the staff of 'the late Alexander Korda in London and more recently worked for a motion picture studio in Hollywood. She now calls ' Los Angeles home. "I have an apartment right across the street from Beverly Hills," she said. "Minus swimming pool, and minus a view." While in Manhattan, she lives in her parents' apartment. "I don't think my life is real ly so different now," she said "I still am active socially ... I have a lot of old friends here. "Sure, I enjoyed the spotlight when we lived in London. What girl wouldn't! But 1 think I am sensible enough not to miss that." Miss Douglas, as the ambassa dor's daughter, used to be squired by some of the' blue blooded set's most eligible men. In 1950, when her father re signed, she let the gossip col umnists in on why she had re mained single. The publicity that hit every man seen once in her company drove them away, she explained. .Why, then, -is she still single? "Well," she smiled, "I could say nobody's proposed . . .

Eacb that have been dealt wltb by responsible the heart to insist, but I really am not ready to be engaged and I want to go out with other girls. . Dianna F. Felix neglects to tell that we had been seeing one another about four times a week, that he had told me he loves me and wants to be with me always and lots of other things that led me to be lieve he was really serious. Felix has been very unfair and just hasn!t considered my feelings at all. My girl friends all believed it was the real thing between Felix and me. I would not have gone for all that "heavy petting" if I didn't believe that Felix and I were going to be married. I feel so humiliated I could just about die. My parents are now all ex cited about my "engagement." How can I tell them it's all off? Everyone knows now, but Felix says he won't give me a ring and that I've got to face the music. Am I supposed to go out and tell the whole world that Felix refuses to have me? What I want to know is wheth er or not I'm being unfair. Does a boy have the right to behave as Felix did and then walk out? Tha Council: It's hard to be lieve that any girl of 20 could be as naive as Dianna, so we'll just have to assume she is pre tending and go on from there. It just won't work, Dianna. It might work if the boy were less clear-minded than Felix, if he had a pretty strong yen to marry and if he showed the least inclination to be influenced by public opinion. But he doesn't. He's just giving you the chance to break tha "en gagement" without any damage to your pride. Hold out a little longer and you won't have the chance to get through this with your pride. No ring will ever come from Felix. As to whether any boy has "the right, to behave as Felix did," the question is more com plicated. Boys and girls will usually assume whatever rights they are granted. Felix was granted the right to make love and make declarations of love without any statement of seri ous intentions. Even Dianna does not hint that the words "marri age" or "engagement" were used at any point. When those words are not use, most girls would assume that, for the time being at least, the affair is not serious. The tactics used by both Felix OSCAR SAYS Baby Is Boss! 67 Q&u "Bu.
