Elissa G.-A one-room apart ment imposes more restraints than he realizes. Abraham G. - She doesn't make many concessions to our awkward living arrange ment. . Elissa G.-When we were married three months ago, Abe and I considered our selves lucky to find even a tiny apartment within walk ing distanct to both his job and my college. Although it was only one room with kitchenette and bath, we sign ed a two-year lease to take us through my graduation and Abe's training -squad stretch in the office. Naturally we were pre pared for some discomforts. But Abe piles them on for good measure. He's a jazz hound. Fine. But can't he hold off until I go marketing or visiting? No. He has the room shaking while I try to study. My only refuge is the bath-tub. That's where I cram for an exam. And even worse, he brings his friends in while I'm re laxing in bed or otherwise unpresentable. "It's just for a minute," he says, "while we swap recordings." Abraham G. -1 know our set-up is hard, but I thought Elissa could take it. She used to boast that she could con- ntrate in a dormitory full of roommates when she went to Bryn Mawr. Maybe it's be cause they stuck to Hinde milh and Grieg, while I pre fer Gerry Mulligan. I tolerate and suffer through her class ical suff even though, to me, most of it is just funeral music. I've tried not to annoy her with my list of complaints, because I feel we must live-and-let-live to get through this tough period. But if we're trading beefs, how about Elissa's hour-long yaks on the 'phone, right next to my newspaper? And her walnuts! She loves cracking them. What of her face-cream" and lipsticks in the desk with the paste and pencils? And her snoring! We must each get rid of our intolerances in such close quarters. Tho Council: Living in such confinement is indeed a try ing situation and, with their love to keep them warm, the G.'s are indeed trying to re concile split-level idiosyncra sies. , . Ingenuity is taxed and at a premium, no doubht, when such problems as entertaining, or convalescing, or deep con centration come up. Elissa and Abraham are seeing, at first hand, how many of the world's problems can be trac ed to lack of "lebensraum." As just frail humans, they've set themselves a project best suited for superiiumans who can fly through walls and be come invisible! They're worse off than the "doggie in the window" who can curl up in a fluff of confetti. But we suspect that, after this honest airing of their gripes, each will gird anew for the challenge of Life in a Breadbox. No doubt they realize that this is an acid test of their love. If it sur vives the abrasions and con-tusions-and lack of illusions -of such raw proximity, it's a pure unquenchable flame! As they endeavor to com pile their own rulebook, here are some random suggestions for Elissa and Abe to ease the strain: Get an earphone attachment for the record player, plus earplugs for the non-listener. Elissa's studying should be pursued mainly at the library. Each should plan to be out (marketing, walk ing, visiting) so that the other has the apartment alone, for either silence or noise, sev eral times a week. Most im portant, try to sub-lease and move! The overall guide for each of these co-tenants is: What must I not do? Or, if they prefer: Disobey that impulse! The G.'s knew they were attempting something diffi cult. Now they suspect it may be impossible, but as the Army Air Forces' slogan puts it, that just takes a little longer to do, about as long as that lease runs. Examinations Open For Federal Positions New examinations are now open for federal civil service positions as engineering tech nicians, supervisory sound physicists, and cartographic compilation aides.

Watkins (Restster and Tribune Syndlcatet 1961) The French Poodle Is From Germany She had been clipped. She was as chic in appearance as she was expected to be, and apparently she knew how nice she looked for she step ped daintily along the street in her fur-trimmed jacket. She tugged gently on her jeweled leash, attached to her petite little collar which was resplendent with simulated jewels. Ordinarily she would be carried but the day was warm and sunny and her fashionably dressed mistress allowed the tiny miniature poodle to trot along the av enue, the target for the eyes of every passerby. The poodle has all the jus tification in the world to be proud; also it just about lives up to its heritage of being probably more human than any other member of the canine world. Claim to Fame Intelligent as these little dogs are, they do not know how illustrious the breed ac tually is, or how great is the acclaim achieved by their an cestors. Five hundred years ago, a German artist, Durer by name, used the poodle in many of his paintings. At the time the dogs were probably called "pudels." Goya, a famous Spanish artist, also painted the poodle. During the reign of Louis XVI, this vivacious dog was enthroned in France. Prob ably the name French poodle was derived from this distinc tion, although it is believed by students of dogdom that the breed originated in Ger many. Several hundred years ago, dog trainers learned of the aptitude of the poodle, and as a result, about all dog acts contained one or more of this breed. There was more reason than just appearance for call ing the poodle the "circus dog," for the poodle is easily trained, and is agile and will ing. Physically it is well ad justed to acrobatic tricks. The breed's natural intelligence is high, learning quickly, and even today, is considered to be "about as smart as they come." 'Truffle Dog' At one time the poodle was crossed with certain beeds of terrior and later trained as a "truffle dog" used by seekers after the un derground fungi, considered such a delicacy in England. The well-bred poodle is of a solid color, cither black, white, gray or a peculiar and remarkable shade called "apricot." Often the ski" is pink with gray spots. The smallest of poodles, called the "Toy," stands 10 inches high at the shoulder, and weighs less than 12 pounds. The min iature is under 15 inches at the shoulder. When freshly clipped, ac cording to the, latest estab lished fashion, the poodle somewhat resembles a majes tic male lion; a lion reduced to a soft, cuddly size. Little wonder the poodle always walks with a haughty dignity and a queenly carriage-it has every right to. If you care about surveys and statistics and that sort of thing, you probably should know that more people in the West drink their coffee black than in any other area. Which is not so surprising, maybe. But more drink it black in restaurants than they do at home. Which ought to prove a point or two about restaurant coffee, the cream and sugar being handy and free and all. When the cupful is on its own like that nothing to dilute or divert the flavor it has to be good coffee. Which is what we've been saying about restaurant coffee for years; what we've been saying about Boyd's, anyway. Which, in the Northwest, is the same thing. Four thousand restaurants prove it they serve a million cups of Boyd's every day. We thhik it's great ij your husband lakes you out to dinner. a O But don't wait you can get Boyd's at the store, too.
