She became a bank host ess on skates. Vivacious Mrs. Norma Cok er, 18, spends 40 hours a week whirling about a five-lane drive-in bank handing out bal loons and candy to children and directing traffic to the teller windows. A former model, Mrs. Coker wears brief, colorful costumes for her job. In winter, she comes to work dressed in white Bermuda shorts and a sweater. In warmer weather, she wears a blouse and short, full skirt. Comments Mrs. Coker says the exer cise and fresh air keeps her healthy. She enjoys her work, and the public likes her. She also is a bookkeeper and secretary. After regular banking hours, she does sec retarial work in the business office. The skating hostess gets comments on her job from all over the world. One person from England said that "no where but in the United States, and nowhere in the U.S. but Texas, could such a thing be done." Mrs. oker got the job when she went to an employ ment agency looking for of fice work. The interviewer asked her if she could skate. Mrs. Coker said she could get around on wheels, so she was sent to the bank. No Joke But she thought it was a joke. "After all," she said. "Whoever heard of a bank needing a roller skater." But the bankers weren't joking, They hired her. Although she skates all day, Mrs. Coker is never too tired to go dancing at night with her husband, a fireman and weight-lifting champion. They prefer "jump music," she said. The couple lives in a frame house in the city with their year-old daughter, but they hope to own a brick home, which she calls their "somev day dream." Mrs. Coker keeps the .wheels rolling at the bank to bring that "some day" closer, she said. 4 Breakfast Pancakes Tasty With Peaches New York (UPD In keep ing with the summer season, try a fresh peach sauce with the breakfast pancakes.

Los Angeles 27. California. Does Flirting Re-Kindle Love? Jane feels that Jim doesn't love her as much as he did when they married five years ago. His compliments are few er, his kisses more matter-of-fact and he tends to fall asleep during the most pas sionate love scenes at a movie. "I'm going to jog him up a bit," decides Jane. "Just wait until we attend the next party. . .!" Jim's feet hurt, and is not anxious to attend the party. He is tired, worried about the office and he enjoys the new television at home. In fact, he enjoys being home, with Jane knitting beside him and the old grandfather's clock chim ing off the hours which belong to them. 1 But he finally agrees to at tend the party to please Jane. But his feet hurt, and he will not dance all evening. At first he does not notice that Jane seems to be dancing with the same man much of the evening. Then he gradu ally becomes aware of her ab sence. She is flirting openly, invitingly, outrageously. The flirting takes her through the remaining dances and finally outside, "to look at the moon." Jim discovers her kissing an old friend with something more than casual interest. He is angry, he feels cheated, and he feels ridiculous. He takes her home amidst a welter of accusations, explan ations, and cross-accusations. The evening is notable for its lack of success. Jane's flirting has "jogged" Jim, but not in a constructive way. In marriage, says an author ity, it is almost impossible to engage in flirtation, even if it seems innocent, without hurt ing someone. Some partners feel neglect ed in marriage and think that Wflny WaiM? This beautiful!

Sets available for $129.00 and $119.00 through making their mates jealous, they can re-kindle love. Almost always this leads to misunderstanding, future distrust, and sometimes trag edy. Flirting has a place in marriage and is a valuable and powerful instrument, it is true. But flirting should be directed toward the partner. Within marriage, it can in deed revive interest and re veal hidden or forgotten po tentialities in love. Flirting is too valuable to be used indis criminately, on outsiders. Its danger of misfire and disaster is too great! Its place is within marriage, beamed toward the partners who will most ben efit from its stimulus. Visiting Player Holds High Score E. P.

But the pretty miss doesn't return to a residential district. She goes home to the royal palace. She is Princess Margarethe of Denmark, who is inclined to shop when the fancy suits her, often without companions and unnoticed in the stores.. An accomplished athlete, the Princess enjoys horseback riding and tennis. She is at home on the dance floor, the ski slopes and behind a fanc- ing foil. Private Life ' Margarethe's personal life is a .well-kept secret. The royal family does not believe in publicizing her activities, but now the Danish people will be increasingly interested in what happens to the strik ing Princess. Margarethe was named heir apparent to the Danish throne on her 18th birthday, April 16. The eldest daughter of King Frederik IX and Queen Ingrid is in line to become the first Danish queen since 1412. At that time, a Queen Mar garethe ruled Denmark, Swe den, and Norway. A constitu tional reform was passed in 1953 to allow a woman to be come Denmark's head of state Her new title brings the re sponsibility of finding a hus band.

But it is known that the Danish royal family would like the Princess to marry a Briton. i Until she becomes queen, Margarethe will hold the title of Lord Lieutenant of the Realm. She will take over the reigns of state when the king is ill or out of the coun try, and she will hold a seat in the state council. The Princess also will re ceive a sizeable allowance.
