Doris Day
Building
New Home
By' GAY PAULEY
United Press Women's Editor
New York dPi Doris Day,
the singer, is humming like a
decorator these days. 1
Her conversations is sprinkled
with everything from f color
schemes to news that the .oldest
sycamore tree in Beverlyj Hills,
Calif, is on her property!
"It is an ancient thing.f said
Miss Day. "Has had several op
erations. Stands right in the
middle of our patio." 1
"Our patio" is part of a new
house she and her husband,
Martin Melcher, are building.
They've been renters for the six
years of their marriage.
"It is all one-story, modern,
has lots of white brick inside,
and I'm using chamois colored
rugs on the floor. I want a' lot
of the chamois and white tn the
rest of the furnishings," sajd the
blonde actress who came to New
York to help promote her new
picture, "Pajama Game," and
mentioned it once during an
interview.
Has No Living Room
"The house has no living
room, but a great big 'living
area," she said. "One section is
a soda fountain. Nobody n our
family drinks anything stronger
than pop."
The family consists of hus
band Marty, her manager
also; Terry, 15, her son by a
previous marriage; and two
French poodles. Terry, who col
lects records, including D. Day
hits, wears even more freckles
than his famous mom.
"But he's not sensitive about
them," she said. "Golly, when
I was a kid I used lemon juice
and cucumbers . . . every foleach
I could think of to get rid of
them Then one day a man told
me he thought freckles were
cute. What a switch. I stayed
out in the sun all next day."
Doris Day, born Doris, Kap
pelhoff of Cincinnati, Ohio, has
made 21 pictures since she
"crashed" Hollywood in 1947.
She plans to go right on mak
ing more "No television or
Broadway for me," said the
singer-actress. "I got enough to
do as it is. And I want time
between pictures to see people
and family, to come back to
civilization."
The Melchers took a vacation
drive through New England aft
er their New York visit. Son
Terry is enrolling in a school
in Connecticut.
Then, it's back to California
to "see what new building
crisis faces us," she said: "I'm
not worried about the contractor
and the house, but about the
contractor and some of my fans."
Finding the actress will oc
cupy the house, the fans have
been p'estering the builder to
"ask Mrs. Melcher to send us
a picture."
Said Miss Day: "He informed
me before we left, he is not my
secretary."

Are Nerves Killing
Your Marriage?
More quarrels than anyone
can ever count are based on
NERVES. The bored or frus
trated wife and the overworked
or professionally disappointed
husband may stage a knockdown-drag-out
argument over
almost ludicrous trifles, an ar
gument which may mushroom
from the original "ashes on the
rug" contention to in-laws, fi
nances, religion, politics, and the
blonde at the country club dance
last year. Tensions may touch
off disguised antagonisms in a
series of skirmishes or in a great
explosion which can ruin a mar
riage. Many people are, as they often
Gymnasium

nasium classes at Medford YMCA

point out, "bundles of nerves."
When one bundle of nerves
marries another, friction is al
most inevitable. Marriage rarely
cures an emotionally unstable
individual, especially if it in
volves two unstable folk and the
common problems of cooperative
living. Decreased liberty and in
creased frustrations may in fact
aggravate the problem in both
men and women.
Here at the American Insti
tute we see marriages burdened
by difficulties which originate
in the emotional adjustment of
one or both partners an en
tanglement, if you will, of the
"bundle of nerves" which mar
ried each other. The husband
may fly into a temper at the
sight of his .wife's new hat or
because the wife has kept him
waiting for dinner. The wife may
indulge in a tantrum because
her husband has flicked ashes
on the rug or has refused her a
new fur coat. The marriage coun
selor knows that such eruptions
are common symptoms of emo
tional maladjustments.
An intelligent couple can do
much toward helping their own
situation. The wife can wait to
display her new hat or ask for
her new coat until "after a dis
cussion of budget and never
when her husband is tired, hun
gry, or ill. A problem looks
easier to a man who is well-fed
and at peace with his world.
Both w partners should make a
genuine effort to be punctual
and patient, to talk out their
troubles and try to arrive at a
mutually satisfactory under
standing. Judgments and de
cisions should never be made
late at night, at the end of an
exhausting experience, or when
one suffers a headache or indi
gestion. Both mates may be
working too hard, and allow
ances should be made for fa
tigue. Indeed, many problems
disappear with 'more rest .and
relaxation.
If the problems do not clear
up with care, the couple may
have to seek the aid of an ex
perienced counselor who can get
at the roots of the difficulty and
aid in easing tensions.
