Margaret, now

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.

She joined a New York and
Los Angeles public relations
firm in January and in a few

Felix M. But I'm not ready

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!

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 . . .
"I come from a family of late
marriages. And I seem to be
getting later and later."

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.

Reports Heard by
Dental Group
A report on the state dental
convention that was held in
Portland last month was given
at the last meeting of the South
ern Oregon Dental association.
Nomination for new officers
was held and election will be
held at the April meeting.
The next meeting will be held
in Grants Pass. The place for the
dinner will be announced later.
At the last meeting 13 members
and six visitors attended. -
All dental assistants in South
ern Oregon are invited to at
tend the meetings as there is an
education program each month.
Meetings are held on the fourth
Wednesday of the month.
Let's assume you've known them for some time.
And now In the moment of a glance you
first behold them in the company of a Cadillac car.
There's just no question about it . . . something
wonderful happens!
For the presence of a Cadillac car underscores
and most dramatically so many of the things
that enable you to think well of them.
It goes almost without saying that their Cadillac
lends form and substance to whatever measure of
achievement life may have brought them.
Certainly, it reveals their interest in the safety
and well-being of their fellow passengers.
And, most assuredly, it evidences the wisdom
with which they select their personal possessions.
