Your contribution is needed to carry on the fight — to wipe out cancer — to guard yourself and your loved ones from this dread disease. GIVE TO CONQUER CANCER American Cancer Society Mouse, tiketyak Se door -Jbs are dts married, about her _• he's played a „ ^ut a new record and you ask him how it went, he has three expressions: "Pretty good" or "pretty good" or "pretty good." "Pretty good" means what some other man might call "terrific" for an hour and a half. They both have the same idea about a home. It's for the people who live in it — grown-ups, children, dogs, no matter who. If Betty's terrycloth robe slips to the floor and Punkin and Wow, the poodles, want to sleep on it, they sleep on it. "Why have dogs," Betty wants to know, "just to give them complexes?" Two years ago she fixed up the garden with beautiful old-fashioned white wicker furniture. It looked heavenly. Then she had a fence built round the pool, which maybe didn't look so heavenly but, more important, it kept the children safe. Last year Punkin and Wow chewed up the furniture, so now there's a chicken-wire fence to keep them away from it. There's also Jessica's playpen, a swing and slide and merrygo -xound for Vicki, toys for the children and dogs and I don't know what all. Any resemblance between what it looked like two years ago and today is purely accidental. But they should worry, the family's happy. And it's not just the outside. When Jessica came, they gave Vicki the upstairs music room. It was too small for her doll house, so that went down to the living-room. So did about 9,000 records, which they stuck under the piano. Then I walk in one day and here's this shuffleboard smack down the middle of the living-room, and so long that it sticks out into the hall. All over the walls they've got signs tacked up about how to play the game, and a towel hanging from the end of a mahogany desk. "Interior decorating by the Jameses," said Betty. "How do you like it?" "I like anything you two do. But pardon me if I mention that this room was once beautiful." "Sure, but we never used it. Now we have fun." They don't mind the clutter of garden and living-room because there's a reason for it — it makes for happier living. Otherwise they're both bugs about order. Harry can shave and shower and you'd never know he'd been in the bathroom. Betty's clothes and dresser drawers are immaculate. She's forever fussing around and straightening things. That she always did. But if you want to know what really amazes me, it's the wonderful housekeeper she's turned out to be. Makes me laugh sometimes, the differ solution to what's the name (page 95) Give yourself 5 points for each correct answer. A score below 65 is poor; between 75 and 90 is good; over 90 is excellent. 27 1 : Walter Abel 23 2: Stuart Erwin 3-34: Joan Leslie Anne Shirley Gene Raymond Tony Martin Harry James 8: Gail Patrick 16 9: Kay Francis 20-11: Rosalind Russell 35 4 30 5 6 39 7 10 33 12-37: 13:32: 14 21 : 15 36: 26-17: 18-28: 24-19: 22-25: 29-38: 40-31: Melvyr Douglas Virginia Bruce Jean Arthur Harold Lloyd Chester Morris Nelson Eddy Warren William Edward Arnold Randolph Scott Jack Benny If You Suffer From Some Of The Torture-Like Kinds Of RHEUMATIC PAINS or from N ARTHRITIS LUMBAGO SIMPLE NEURALGIA OR MUSCULAR ACHES PLEASE POSTPAID ?
