Once burned, twice shy is Vera-Ellen. But how long can she hold out? Rock Hudson won't stop asking and she can't say "No" forever.

she^s the marry ing; kind
■ They are or they aren't, they will or they won't — that's been the report of the gbssip columnists about Vera-Ellen and Rock Hudson during the past two years. It's been printed that they're engaged, and it's been printed that they've had a rift and cooled off. Actually, they've never been engaged, never had a serious argument, but they date each other consistently and it is highly possible that one day they will be married.
Hollywood doesn't understand a romance like this. Hollywood is used to whirlwind courtships and quick trips to the altar, or well-publicized battles that put love affairs in the deep freeze.
Vera-EUen's friends will tell you that she is fun and w«ll-liked, a conscientious worker,, and marriage-wise, just about the best wife material around town. She really likes to keep house and would regard the job of marriage as seriously as she does her career. Yet where men are concerned, Vera's a puzzle.
"Nobody — but nobody," people say, "just goes with a guy for almost three years and doesn't say anything about getting married. What's happening here?"
What's happening is the only possible relationship that could spring from the personalities, backgrounds and careers of both Rock and Vera.

They had their first dance together ot Giro's, ainnost three years ago. Since then, Vera-Ellen and Rock hove been puzzling the columnists.
