The 53-year-old actress who be came a top Hollywood box office attraction as the "perfect wife" in the Thin Man scries, has sep arated from Howland Sargeant, former assistant secretary of long career she plays a tragic role, and reporters who pry into the personal lives of celebrities. "There seems almost a diaboli cal desire to destroy," said the actress. "Some of the stuff used to be confined to the Police Ga zette. Now it's creeping even into the fan magazines.

But she was silent when asked wheth er there also was a romance with the handsome Clift, who is 15 years her junior. Miss Loy was just as reluctant to discuss the reasons for the breakup with Sargeant, who now head of Radio Liberation. "I don't want to discuss my private life," she said, "other than to say that now I will devote more time to my career. But she talks readily about her work with the United Nations, her latest movie.

Bourdeau, a Bal timore marriage counselor, who writes in the current issue of Coronet magazine: ' "The modern American woman is being greatly oversold on the importance of sex in marriage." He believes that women all over the country are developing jitters, ulcers and nervous breakdowns trying to live up to the movie versions of sex appeal. Actually, says Bourdeau. sex is only a part of married life an important part, of course, but not the whole show. It's important, too. to raise a healthy, happy fam ily, lo have a peaceful, well ordered home and to make a su perlative apple pic.
