If only she'd mate an effort. hyllii M. I am 19 years old and have been going out for the past year with a young man of 20. We are planning to be mar ried next year when he gets out of college. What bothers me is this. While he is away at school, Leonard writes me long, long letters about all kinds of intellectual things the things he studies in school. He sends me lists of books to read and tells me what plays to see. Many times I don't understand what he is talking about in his letters and I don't care for the books he tells me to read. When he comes home, he always bawls me out for not hav ing discussed in my letters some of the things he mentioned. He forces me to read the books I don't like. I am beginning to feel that I just can't keep up with him. I love Leonard very much, but I'm ure I'm going to be a disap pointment to him. Leonard D. Phyllis is the brightest girl I know, but she just refuses to use her mind. She was one of the top students at high school, but she didn't want to go to college. She wanted to go to work, but she isn't even seriously interested in her ca reer. She just cares about enjoy ing herself now and raising a family in a few yean. I meet girls at school who are not nearly as intelligent as Phyllis and they read the books I tell her about. I want my wife to be able to talk intelligently and to know about the things that interest me. Phyllis can do it if she would only make the effort. Phyllis seems to resent my ef forts to help her. She thinks I am lording it, but she'll be grate ful to me when she sees how much more there is to enjoy than she now imagines. The Council: In the legend of Pygmalion the sculptor creates the statue of a beautiful woman and then falls in love with her. This classic love story was re created by George Bernard Shaw into a play about an upper class gentleman who undertakes to make over a girl from an al most hopelessly oppressed work ing class. Leonard appears to want to recreate the story once more in his own life. Phyllis, however, is neither marble, nor clay, nor a girl f rc m an oppressed class. She has some education, and had the opportu nity for more. She is a real, live, intelligent girl with a will of her own. She does not want to be made over into somebody else's ideal. This is why she resists Leon ard's efforts to "help" her. She would probably have no great resistance to books if they were Gen. Power Named Commander of SAC Washington (1PI Lt. Gen. Thomas S. Power, the Air Force's research chief, has been named commander of the Stra tegic Air Command with the rank of full general. He will succeed Gen. Curtis E. LeMay, who is scheduled to be come vice chief of staff of the Air Force this summer. Lt. Gen. Frank F. Everett, cur rent deputy chief of staff for op erations in Air Force headquar ters here, was named to succeed Lt. Gen. William H. Tunner as commander of American Air Forces in Europe. Everett also was nominated for four-star rank. Tunner will be reassigned later. offered simply for pleasure. Leonard is in contact with girls who share his interests, yet he shuns them in favor of Phyl lis. It appears that it is the chal lenge Phyllis offers, rather than the girl herself, that appeals to him. This is very immature and it is no basis for marriage. Phyllis' instinct is right. She would be far better off with a man who appreciates her for what she is. Leonard would be better off turning his creative energies on his own work and studies. He is too unformed, him self, to know what kind of wife he really wants. (Copyright, 1957, General Features Corp.)

That is, if you can use a tie clasp in Aline Mosby the shape of an accordian, earrings in the form of little champagne glasses or neckties decorated with bottles and glasses. Liberace used to reign as the champion giver of unusual "loot." I have in storage a cig arette box shaped like a piano and earrings in the form of tiny candelebras, all garnished with his flowing signature. But this is the year of Welk, who has parlayed his "one-and-a-two-and-a" Champagne Music" into a sensational tele vision rating. Now my Liberace earrings have been replaced by a pencil with a tiny champagne bottle on top. "I give out about $25,000 in souvenirs a year, including pic tures," explained Welk when cornered about his custom. "I give them to anybody I get acquainted with at the TV studio, on tours or at my ball room. It's a goodwill gesture. I've found it always pleases people, and we're in the busi ness to make people happy. If we can do something a bit extra for our friends, customers and fans I feel it's a nice gesture."
